Implement Hyper-V What is Hyper-V technology? Virtualization technologies have become a part of our life. Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than physical) version of an IT environment, including an operating system (OS), a storage device, etc. Virtualization takes place on the same hardware platform after installing specific software - hypervisor. The hypervisor is an additional layer between physical and virtual spheres; it manages the system s hardware resources so they are distributed efficiently among virtual machines (VMs). Microsoft could not ignore the virtualization trend. Microsoft introduced Hyper-V as a virtualization platform in 2008, and it continued to release new Hyper-V versions with new Windows server versions. So far, there are a total of five versions, including Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008. Hyper-V is a hybrid hypervisor, which is installed from OS (via Windows wizard of adding roles). However, during installation it redesigns the OS architecture and becomes just like a next layer on the physical hardware Install Hyper-V on Windows 10 Step 1: Prerequisites The following prerequisites are required to successfully run Client Hyper-V on Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise 64 bit Operating System 64 bit processor 4GB system RAM at minimum BIOS-level Hardware Virtualization support
Step 2: Setting Up Hyper-V Ensure that hardware virtualization support is turned on in the BIOS settings Step 3: Manually enable the Hyper-V role Right click on the Windows button and select Apps and Features. Select Turn Windows Features on or off. Select Hyper-V and click OK.
When the installation has completed you are prompted to restart your computer. Install Hyper-V on Windows Server 2016 Install Hyper-V by using Server Manager In Server Manager, on the Manage menu, click Add Roles and Features.
On the Before you begin page, verify that your destination server and network environment are prepared for the role and feature you want to install. Click Next. On the Select installation type page, select Role-based or feature-based installation and then click Next. On the Select destination server page, select a server from the server pool and then click Next. On the Select server roles page, select Hyper-V.
To add the tools that you use to create and manage virtual machines, click Add Features. On the Features page, click Next. On the Create Virtual Switches page, Virtual Machine Migration page, and Default Stores page, select the appropriate options. On the Confirm installation selections page, select Restart the destination server automatically if required, and then click Install.
When installation is finished, verify that Hyper-V installed correctly. Open the All Servers page in Server Manager and select a server on which you installed Hyper-V. Check the Roles and Features tile on the page for the selected server. You can now launch Hyper-V manager from Start-Administrative Tools > Hyper-V Manager OR Start > All Programs > Windows Adminstrative Tools > Hyper-V Manager, OR in Server Manager > Tools > Hyper-V Manager. Create a Virtual Machine with Hyper-V Manager In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New > Virtual Machine to bring up the New Virtual Machine Wizard
In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New > Virtual Machine to bring up the New Virtual Machine Wizard. Review the Before You Begin content and click Next. Give the virtual machine a name. Note: This is the name Hyper-V uses for the virtual machine, not the computer name given to the guest operating system that will be deployed inside the virtual machine. Choose a location where the virtual machine files will be stored such as c:\virtualmachine. You can also accept the default location. Click Next when done.
Select a generation for the machine and click Next. Generation 2 virtual machines were introduced with Windows Server 2012 R2 and provide a simplified virtual hardware model and some additional functionality. You can only install a 64-bit operating system on a Generation 2 virtual machine. Select 2048 MB for the Startup Memory value and leave Use Dynamic Memoryselected. Click the Next button V i
On the Configure Networking wizard, select a virtual switch for the virtual machine and click Next. Connect Virtual Hard Disk. Select Create a Virtual Hard Disk give Recuired size.next. A virtual hard drive provides storage for a virtual machine similar to a physical hard drive. A virtual hard drive is required so that you can install an operating system on the virtual machine.
On the Installation Options wizard, select Install an operating system from a bootable image file and then select an operating system.iso file. Click Next once completed. Review the virtual machine details and click Finish to complete the virtual machine creation
