http://serverfault.com – I have read from numerous sources that Hyper-V 2012 does not allow all packets from a physical NIC to be forwarded to a virtual machine. My situation is described in the pic below where I want all packets to be forwarded to the VM from a physical NIC. The issue is the hyper-v extensible switch filter blocks all non-broadcast traffic. How can I disable this filter and just have the packets passthrough? I have tried creating a vm-switch extension following the instructions from: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Hyper-V-Extensible-Virtual-e4b31fbb#content However after I build the driver successfu (HowTos)

I have just installed a new Hyper-V host machine running Server 2008 R2. Created the first VM (also Server 2008 R2 SP1) and all is working apart from a bizare problem with network packets.

Host machine has two Intel Nic's one is dedicated to Hyper-V and is setup as an "External" network in Virtual Network Manager. It's also removed from the management OS, so dedicated just to Hyper-V.

I followed the below links for installing Ubuntu Server 11.04 as a virtual machine on Hyper-V. However, after installation, Ubuntu can't access the LAN. Please help. Thanks.

I already looked at this thread: Hyper-V and Hyper-threading: On or off?, but the only answer is Windows specific....

I am building a VM server (using Proxmox VE if that makes a difference) and was wondering about how hyper threading can affect virtual machines...

Specifically, if I max out the number of virtual machines, would hyper threading help, or hurt performance?

Rebuilding Hyper V after crash 31 weeks 1 hour ago

I am currently having an issue with our Domain Controller network environment which is on Hyper V. Basically the machine that was hosting the Hyper V has crashed. The problem is not with hard drive but with the corrupted hyper v file.

We have all the vhds and xml configuration files in separate partition. Plan is to make a fresh install of hyper v and reattach all virtual machine.

I've seen lots of people saying we should turn hyperthreading on on hyper-v hosts, but I've got a dilemma.

We're going to be running SQL Server 2012 Enterprise on a 2012 hyper-V cluster.

Microsoft’s “Switch to Hyper-V” program is seeking to ease VMware to Hyper-V migrations for virtualization customers, partners and cloud services providers (CSPs).

I have SQL Server 2008 Express running on Hyper-V based virtual machine with two vCPU-s. I've just been reading up on SQL Server 2012 Express and noticed that it's CPU is "Limited to lesser of 1 Socket or 4 cores" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=SQL.110).aspx)

My question is how do the SQL Server 2012 limits on CPUs/Cores translate into vCPU-s?

i already have Windows 8 from MSDNAA. I'm very interested in Hyper-V, so i've created an hyper-v virtual machine with openSUSE. If i connect, i have only a 800x600 resolution. I have not found any resolution settings. If you ever be able to change it?
