Enable WinRM for Non-SSL Enabled Connections to Hyper-V Hosts
When registering Hyper-V hosts in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, it is recommended to use SSL-enabled connections to encrypt network traffic between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and the Hyper-V host. If you cannot use SSL, you must configure WinRM on the Hyper-V host to allow unencrypted network traffic. Ensure you understand the security risks associated with allowing unencrypted network traffic before performing the following procedure.
To enable WinRM for non-SSL enabled connections to Hyper-V hosts:
- On the Hyper-V host system, log in with an administrator account.
- Open a Windows command prompt. If UAC is enabled, you must open the command prompt with elevated privileges by running with the "Run as administrator" option enabled.
- Enter the following command to configure WinRM to allow unencrypted network traffic:
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
- Enter the following command to verify that the AllowUnencrypted variable is set to true:
winrm g winrm/config/service
