Choosing the Installation Device

Select the storage device to install Parallels Cloud Server on.

You can choose between two options:

• Basic Storage Devices : Perform a standalone installation of Parallels Cloud Server 6.0 on a hard drive that is connected directly to your local system (local hard drive).
• Parallels Cloud Storage : Include the server in a Parallels Cloud Storage cluster. If you choose this option, you will need to specify a number of additional settings described in Configuring for Use with Parallels Cloud Storage .

  Notes :
  
  1. Parallels Cloud Storage is a solution that transforms local hard drives into a highly protected enterprise-level storage (like SAN or NAS) with data replication, high-availability, and self-healing features. Using Parallels Cloud Storage, you can safely store and run Parallels virtual machines and Containers, migrate them with zero downtime, provide high availability for your Parallels Cloud Server installations, and much more. For more information on Parallels Cloud Storage, see the Parallels Cloud Storage Administrator's Guide .
  
  2. In a Parallels Cloud Storage cluster, all servers must have unique hostnames. So if you did not set a hostname for the server, click Back and specify one on the screen of defining network settings.
