linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I've got CentOS running a samba server. I've got a Windows 8 Professional running Hyper-V. I'd like to store the vhd files of Hyper-V on a shared Samba folder (protected by a password). It seems that the system user of Hyper-V can't connect to that folder. How can I fix that? ps : I saw that question samba server as network storage for VHD discs but it didn't help me (or I didn't understand it..) (HowTos)

Stories similar to hyper-v vhd file stored on centos samba server?

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.

Im lost and desperate. I have been running with a setup where i have a ubuntu server running in hyper-v. My windows server running hyper-v has two network cards. my internet is coming in to one of them and the other is hooked up with a switch. I then direct both to the ubuntu-server running in 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 just installed a ubuntu 12.04 server on a 2008 R2 Hyper-V server and all is fine (networking/storage ...). There is just one thing, when i halt my linux (using "sudo halt"), i can see on the console that the system is halted but the vm status on hyper-v is still "started".

I have a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 on a remote DC and another server running CentOS 6.2 (in another remote DC) which has a Samba configured too.

From my local machine I can access the samba share with the right permissions without problems.

We currently run a Hyper-V server on a non-domain W2008 server, and are looking to build a failover solution. Because all the (6-10) VM guests are linuxes, and our datacenter space is 90% non windows, we have never felt the need for AD domains etc.

My initial plan is a second server (either W2008R2 or W2012 standard), running Hyper-V server.

There is no shared storage / SAN in place.

First of all, sorry for my poor english.

I have correctly installed Samba 4 on my Centos 6 server. Windows pcs join correctly the domain and users have their roaming profiles working good. In our office we also have some Linux workstations with Fedora 18 joined to the Samba 4 AD Domain.

I am trying to install CentOS 6.2 i386 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server running Hyper-V. The CD boots into the virtual environment fine and brings me to the CentOS desktop. However, when I double... [by twsnnva]

I am having problems getting Samba to authenticate AD users to Samba shares. Since I need to get our file server back online I think I will just run Samba as a standalone server. The problem with that is I have a AD domain so I have some concerns. First off can Samba serve files to users that are part of a domain without the Samba server having to join the domain?
