RayFlow
In order to use the RayFlow functionality directly from RayEval, a running RayFlow server has to be accessible.
Hyper-V Integration
•Both host and guest machine must have PowerShell 3.0 or newer installed.
•Windows Remote Management
•RayPack Studio Tools for Hyper-V need to be installed on the guest machine.
The tools can be installed from a Windows Installer package that is present in the RayEval sub folder Tools\HyperVTools\Packaging Suite Tools for Hyper-V.msi.
The installation of the tools is required, so that the user can see interactive prompts and windows on Hyper-V machines. It is recommended to install the tools as a part of the base snapshot.
