Hyper-V Integration Services

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – Let's just focus on Hyper-V on either 2008 R2 SP1, or Hyper-V on Server 2012. The guests are all modern versions of Windows themselves, either Windows 7 or 8, or 2008 R2 or Server 2012. Do I really need to install the Hyper-V Integration Services on my guests? Everything seems to work just fine without them. And I understand why they may be necessary on older versions of Windows or of course non-Windows OSes... I read a bit about what the Integration Services are for, but I could not find any information that was specific enough to convince me that I need to worry about installing them on Wi (HowTos)

Stories similar to Hyper-V Integration Services

I've set up an instance of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS under Hyper-V 2012. However it seems to be nondeterministic as to whether or not it completes the boot process.

I get a Kernel Panic, "IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!", which from my research is caused by not having integration services correctly installed?

It was my understanding that the integration services were all now baked into the kernel?

I’m having several Windows Servers 2008 R2 which I previously accessed using Hyper-V Manager from Windows 7. On upgrading to Windows 8 and enabling the feature Hyper-V, this is no longer possible.

I am currently running CentOS 6.3 with Linux integration services 3.4 on a Hyper-V VM inside Windows Server 2012.

I am trying to deploy this desktop as a VDI Collection in Remote Desktop Services, but I am receiving the error message "Could not retrieve the virtual desktop template details for xxx"

Is this even possible?

My CentOS is a VM in Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V• Host OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit)• Guest OS: CentOS-6.3-x86_64• Drivers for guest: Linux Integration Se... [by JunGao]

I've been running CentOS 6.2 as a VM under Hyper-V on my Windows Server 2008 R2 system.

If I run "uname -r" it shows my current Linux version as "2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64"

A while ago, I did a software update and included in the update was a kernel update. When I rebooted the Linux VM, it came up with a kernel panic message and would not continue.

I run a Hyper-V server running several Hyper-V VMs. I was wondering if there is any way for me to manage

the Hyper-V server itself (just Hyper-V role, not the rest of the server box) and the Hyper-V VMs (like connecting into them)

via Mac OS?

I'm on Mac OS 10.8 on my main laptop. From what I've been seeing the Hyper-V management tools are all Windows based.

I'm setting up a test "server" on my laptop with Hyper-V. When I go to install from an MSDN ISO I have two choices for standard edition. SERVERSTANDARD or SERVERSTANDARDV.

Googling gives me lists of cracked windows keys, but one site claims that SERVERSTANDARDV is the non Hyper-V flavor. I assume that doesn't contain the Hyper-V server, but wold be safe for a Hyper-V client?

Installing Hyper-V Linux Integration Components On CentOS 5

Microsoft has introduced together with Windows 2008 a new Hypervisor called Hyper-V. Initially Microsoft only supported Microsoft products and Novell Suse, but recently they added support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. With this support it is also possible to install the components on CentOS.

Background:

We're running a couple of Virtual servers in Hyper-V at a small office using Windows 2008 R2. We only have 1 physical host (and we aren't planning to change that any time soon). We're looking to move to Hyper-V Server 2012.

Currently we have a small UPS that keeps the server running for about 20 minutes and then sends a shutdown message to Windows 2008. The UPS Connects via USB.
