Hyper-V Server 2012 with Zambezi AMD FX-Series - Hardware assisted virtualization not present

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm trying to set up VDI across Windows Server 2012 VMs running on Hyper-V 2012. The wizard's compatibility check for the Virtualization Host server failed with "Hardware-assisted virtualization is not present on the server". I'm running an FX-8120 CPU and have the ASUS M5A97 motherboard. I know I'm supposed to enable No-Execute (Hyper-V Hardware Considerations) but I cannot find that or any other synonyms of it in my motherboards UEFI BIOS (NX, XD, EVP, XN... nothing). I found this: PAE/NX/SSE2 Support Requirement Guide for Windows 8 which in short says "Windows 8 and Windows Serv (HowTos)

Stories similar to Hyper-V Server 2012 with Zambezi AMD FX-Series - Hardware assisted virtualization not present

I am currently trying to create a test-deployment of the new Remote Desktop Services in Server 2012. I have been following these instructions from technet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831585

I have installed Server 2012 and installed Hyper-V. I then created the 3 test machines as per the technet instructions.

I have a server running Windows Server 2012 and it only has the Hyper-V role. I have a VM also running Windows Server 2012 and it has the Active Directory: Directory Services and DNS ([example.com]) roles. It has been promoted to a domain controller for [example.com].

In the virtualization host I have joined the domain successfully.

The checkbox to install Hyper-V in Windows 8 Pro is disabled. Hovering over it reveals the message, Hyper-V cannot be installed: Virtualization support is disabled in the firmware. There is a virtualization option in the UEFI settings that was previously disabled, but I enabled it, and then did a cold boot.

I recently installed Windows Server 2012. This will serve as the dev-instance for our engineers and will be accessed in multiple time zones. I therefore plan to run this 24x7 but want to conserve energy by going to sleep mode when not in use & enable Wake-On-Magic-Packet.

Based on the previous post it appears that there is no option to sleep Win Server 2012 with Hyper-V.

Days after VMworld 2012 ends, Microsoft will launch Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V 3 virtualization. You can sense a vSphere 5 vs. Hyper-V 3 showdown is coming. And in some cases, the battle has already started. Just ask FyrSoft, a Microsoft solutions provider that migrated Pella Corp. from VMware to Hyper-V.

I have a question about which license to purchase for a client setup that I am looking to implement.

The scenario is that I want a Windows Server 2012 on bare metal running Hyper-V, a Windows Server 2011 as the first VM running on it, and then 4 virtual Windows 7 Professional VM's for the clients to connect to.

So my question is, which version of Windows Server 2012 do I need for the Hyper-V set

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 running at least one VM using Hyper-V in Windows 8 Pro, and I'd like to back it up while it's still running.

Windows Server 2012 handles this great with the built-in "Windows Server Backup" engine.

But I cannot find a way to accomplish this on Windows 8.

I found HyperVBackup, and open source app to backup HyperV, but it doesn't work on Windows 8.

I'm about to pull my hair out!

I have a DC1 running Windows Server 2012, with 2 NICs - 10.0.1.10 and 172.0.1.10. These are configured for public and private LANs, respectively. This works great.

I have created a Windows Server 2012 Standard VM in Hyper- V on the DC.
