Here is a short video on how to install a Virtual Smartzone server from the beginning, an example is based on Hyper-V. Definitely not to forget the control NAT IP address, which is the external address of the control interface if the server is behind NAT, this can be done in the web and in the CLI:

vscg# config
vscg(config)# ip control-nat [NAX box public IP]
vscg(config)# end

In addition, it should be borne in mind that the Cassandra real-time database needs fast disks, so local or iSCSI are the recommended options here.
