# Adding Hyper-V host to Xopero ONE

## Adding Hyper-V

{% hint style="info" %}
In **Xopero ONE**, the minimum supported **Hyper-V** server version is **Windows Server 2016**. Integration requires a **Hyper-V** per-socket license, based on the number of sockets in the server's motherboard. For example, a server with two CPU sockets needs two licenses (even if there's only one processor).
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Log in to [**XMS**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1], open the **Virtual Machines** tab on the left side of the window, and select **Hyper-V** from the list.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Download and install the agent
&#x20;on all **Hyper-V** hosts you want to protect. After installation, the device(s) will appear in the upper-right corner for activation. Once added, it will be listed in the **Devices** tab and ready to protect physical hardware.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Activated devices will now appear in the **Available hosts** section. Select the host(s) you want to integrate with, and click **Save**.

## Adding Hyper-V cluster

Integrating a **Hyper-V** cluster in **Xopero ONE** follows [the same procedure as adding a single host](#adding-hyper-v), with one key difference: the agent must be installed **on every host in the cluster**. When adding the cluster, select all machines to include in the setup and enter the **cluster IP address**, and administrator’s login credentials.
