Backup and Recovery Information
In certain situations, it might be necessary to contact SonicWall Technical Support, use SafeMode, or deregister
the NSv appliance:
• If the splash screen remains displayed, this can indicate that the disk is corrupted. Please contact
SonicWall Technical Support for assistance.
• If the disk is not recoverable, then the NSv appliance needs to be deregistered with MySonicWall.
Contact technical support for information.
• If SonicOSX does not boot up, you can go into SafeMode and download the log files, upload a new
SonicOSX image, or take other actions. For information about SafeMode, see Using SafeMode on the NSv
on page 42.
• If SonicOSX fails three times during the boot process, it will boot into SafeMode. Verify that the minimum
required memory is available and allocated based on the NSv model. If it still cannot boot up, download
the logs while in SafeMode and contact SonicWall Technical Support for assistance.
High Availability Configurations
NSv virtual firewalls deployed on Hyper-V can be configured as high availability Active/Standby pairs to
eliminate a single point of failure and provide higher reliability. Two identical NSv instances are configured so
that when the primary fails, the secondary takes over to maintain communications between the Internet and
the protected network. These redundant NSv instances may share the same license when registered on
MySonicWall as associated products. For details, refer to the techical publications portal..
Additional licensing allows configuration of an Active/Standby pair to handle a Stateful fail-over in which the
Standby NSv takes over without having to initialize network connections and VPNs. However, dynamic ARP
entries and common virtual MACs are not currently supported. For more details, refer to the techical
publications portal.
Exporting and Importing Firewall
Configurations
Moving configuration settings from SonicWall physical appliances to the NSv Series is not supported. However,
configuration settings may be moved from one NSv to another. See the SonicOS 6.5 NSv Series Updates
administration book and the SonicOS 6.5.4 NSv Series Upgrade Guide on the Technical Publications portal for
more information about exporting and importing configuration settings.
Go to https://www.sonicwall.com/support/technical-documentation/ and select “NSv Series” as the product.
Upgrading from SonicOS 6.5
SonicOSX 7 NSv for Hyper-V supports only fresh deployments. Under SonicOSX 7, NSv supports only Unified
Policy. Settings from SonicOS 6.5 NSv installations cannot be imported. Users must manually navigate policies,
application rules, and content filtering rules for SonicOSX 7 NSv installations.

• To Install NSv on Hyper-V on page 16
• Troubleshooting Installation Configuration on page 23
Preparing the Windows Server System
Before installing a SonicWall NSv Series virtual firewall on Hyper-V, prepare the Windows Server system:
• Install Windows Server 2012 or 2016.
• Install the Hyper-V Role in the Windows Server system. Refer to the instructions at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/get-started/install-the-hyper-
v-role-on-windows-server
• Connect the Windows Server system to an external switch.
For detailed instructions see the following section: Creating Virtual Switches in Hyper-V.
Creating Virtual Switches in Hyper-V
Microsoft Hyper-V allows you to create three types of virtual switches (vSwitches):
•External vSwitch – binds to a physical network adapter and provides the vSwitch access to a physical
network.
•Internal vSwitch – passes traffic between the virtual machines and the Hyper-V host. This type of vSwitch
does not provide connectivity to a physical network.
• Private vSwitch – passes traffic between the virtual machines on the Hyper-V host only.
For an NSv Series Microsoft Hyper-V deployment, an External vSwitch is required to provide connectivity for
NSv management access and for routing traffic to and from the network devices that the firewall is securing (e.g.
LAN or DMZ side devices).
An Internal vSwitch or Private vSwitch is required when the virtual machines that the firewall is securing (e.g.
LAN or DMZ side VM) are created in the same Hyper-V server. The difference between an Internal vSwitch and a
Private vSwitch is whether to allow traffic between the NSv and the Hyper-V host (via Internal vSwitch or,
between the NSv and other virtual systems running under Hyper-V (via Private VSwitch).
NSv Series Microsoft Hyper-V Getting Started Guide

4 Select External for the type of virtual switch and then click the Create Virtual Switch button.
5Under Virtual Switch Properties, type a descriptive name for the switch into the Name field.
6For Connection Type, select External network and select the physical network adapter that connects to
the external vSwitch from the drop-down list.
7 If you want to use this same physical adapter to manage the Hyper-V host at the same time, select the
Allow management operating system to share this network adapter check box.
8 Repeat Step 4 through Step 7 to create more External vSwitches if there are more physical connections
deployed between the Windows Server and the external switch and you would like to use them for
routing NSv traffic.
If your NSv will protect virtual machines (LAN or DMZ side VM) located in the same Hyper-V server, perform the
next procedure to create an Internal vSwitch or Private vSwitch.
NOTE: When the Allow management operating system to share this network adapter option is
selected, you need to specify the VLAN ID that is used for this management traffic. If the VLAN ID is
not configured, the management traffic will be untagged.
Always make sure to isolate the Hyper-V management traffic from the NSv traffic by using a
different VLAN ID.
