Hyper-v on Windows server 2008/core

Hyper-v is Microsoft's newer virtualization product.

Hyper-v technology is based on 64-bit operating system
, supporting up to 4 virtual processors and 64GB of memory. Although it also supports 32-bit operating system
, but because the 32-bit operating system
memory address space is only 4GB, so the use value is not very large (if you want to install Microsoft new products, it is even more Painful). Microsoft also recommends 64-bit Windows Server 2008 users to use the 32-bit Hyper-v system, which also comes with Hyper-v functionality in R2's operating system
.

Before you can talk about the prerequisites for installing Hyper, you must meet the following conditions:

1, CPU and motherboard

Support 64-bit extension technology (Intel EMT) -64/AMD x64) and support for Intel-VT or AMD-V or CPU support virtualization technology

Support hardware data execution protection Hardware Data Execution Protection (DEP)

Whether the motherboard supports DEP and Virtualization Technology

The above two points can be used to view the hardware manufacturer's website, or you can download the software from the Internet to detect

2, memory

Microsoft recommended 2GB memory. But the new server memory is 8G, 16G, it should not be a problem; if the test environment does not have to worry about memory, then there is no reason not to add a few more.

Memory: The bigger the limit, the better.

3, disk

This thing is the same as memory, whether it is a server or a test environment desktop, I think it should not be so embarrassing!

But I think the system is getting bigger and bigger, more and more applications, don't yell at your system disk. Give him 160G, how much?

There is also the server's hard disk to see if your needs are to be disaster-tolerant!

4, NIC

At least one physical NIC

5, optical drive

DVD drive, if you use USB installation is also possible.

A brief introduction to my system environment (Windows
server 2008 FULL and Core two versions)

First talk about Hyper-v under the windows server 2008 graphical interface installation.

1, open the server manager, expand Roles, select and click Add/remove Roles

2 in the right window, in the Add roles wizard, Before you Begin, and Next

3, Select server Roles, select Hyper-v, next step

4, product introduction and precautions, next step

5, Create virtual Network, Check the network card, select the network card, the next step

6, confirm installation selects, click install

7, the installation is complete, prompt to restart the computer.

The Hyper-v under this graphical interface has been installed.

Hyper-v installation in windows server 2008 Core

About installation of Windows server 2008 Core (this blog also has a summary)

Upgrade first Hyper-v upgrade package (KB950050, download method: Microsoft official website search this KB number).

In the server core command line, enter:

d:\\tools\\wusa.exe Windows6.0-KB950050-x64.msu /quiet (msu has been copied to d:\\tools)< Br>

Installation check to see if it is installed correctly:

wmic qfe list

The installed update package will be listed.

Restart the server.

1, use bcedit to change the startup configuration

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

2, start the installation of Hyper-v

start /w OCSetup Microsoft- Hyper-V

After installation, you must reboot to enable Hyper-v to take effect.

After rebooting, use oclist to check if the role is installed correctly (the first time it is a little difficult to find, because most of them are not)

If you find Hyper-v is istelled, you can .

The installation of Hyper-v is now complete.

In fact, I personally think that if you want to implement virtualization as an important application of the enterprise, personal advice is to deploy Hyper-v to the server core, because the stability of core is definitely better than graphics. The server is much higher!

Of course, if you think that some physical servers are too wasteful to run a non-core application, and implement a Hyper-v, then it is just fine.

Because Hyper-v's virtual machine creation does not support the command line. So at this point we have to use the server manager's remote control management method to create virtual machines.
