- Solution deployment introduction
  Microsoft HCI Solutions from Dell Technologies can be deployed in the following ways:
- Deployment prerequisites
  Dell Technologies assumes that the management services that are required for the operating system deployment and cluster configuration are in the existing infrastructure where the Azure Stack HCI cluster is being deployed.
- Predeployment configuration
  Before deploying AX nodes, complete the required predeployment configuration tasks.
- Operating system deployment
- Install roles and features
- Verifying firmware and software compliance with the support matrix
  Microsoft HCI Solutions from Dell Technologies are validated and certified with certain firmware versions that are related to the solution infrastructure components.
- Update out-of-box drivers
  For certain system components, you might have to update the driver to the latest Dell Technologies supported version.
- Change the hostname
  By default, the operating system deployment assigns a random name as the host computer name. For easier identification and uniform configuration, Dell Technologies recommends that you change the hostname to something that is relevant and easily identifiable.
- Joining cluster nodes to an Active Directory domain
  Before you can create a cluster, the cluster nodes must be a part of an Active Directory domain.
