Hyper-V Introduction and Installation and Use (Detailed Illustrations)

Preface: As a giant in the IT industry, Microsoft's own virtualization technology is also the first virtualization technology based on hypervisor adopted by Microsoft like VMware and CitrixXen. It has its own remarkable features. Microsoft's own virtualization technology has basically no problem supporting Windows. According to official information, it can even install Integrated Components designed specifically for Linux (including VMbus drivers for disks and network adapters) to enable Linux virtual machines to achieve high performance. Similarly, similar to mainstream virtualization technology, hyper-v also supports semi-virtualization and full virtualization, but its semi-virtualization only supports the same version of the system as the host machine. If you don't like its graphical interface, you can also install the hyper-v virtualization program on Server Core (command line windows) to meet your needs.

In a word, Hyper-V virtualization technology inherits the advantages of convenient operation and intuitive display of the graphical interface of its creator, Microsoft. According to it, its virtualization performance is no worse than the mainstream virtualization performance in the industry. Let time prove its authenticity. This article aims to introduce how to install Hyper-V on the Windows Server 2012 operating system and use it to create your first virtual machine program.

Hyper-V operating platform: Windows Server 2008R2 and higher server systems, Windows 7 and higher desktop operating systems, Hyper-V server operating systems

Hardware requirements:

Intel or AMD 64-bit processor CPUs must have hardware data execution protection (DEP) and this function must enable hardware-assisted virtualization, i.e. Intel VT or AMD-V
The minimum memory requirement is 2GB.

Install the Hyper-V virtualization tool:

1. Open Server Manager>Manage>Add Roles/Features

2. Next Steps

3. Default configuration next step

4. Default configuration next step

5. Check Hyper-V

6. Click Add Function in the pop-up interface.

7. Next Steps

8. Next Steps

9. Next Steps

10. Check or select the network adapter of the current server > Next

11. Check the migration service according to your needs, if not, click next

12. Next Steps

13. You can choose whether to restart automatically or not. If other services are running, do not check it.

14. Wait for the installation to complete.

15. Restart. If automatic restart is not checked, restart manually. The restart process is slower than usual and you need to wait a few minutes longer. If there is no problem after the restart, it means that the Hyper-V virtualization function has been added successfully.

Use Hyper-V to create a virtual machine that meets project requirements:

1. Open Server Manager and click Hyper-V Manager

2. Click New > Create a new virtual machine

3. Click Next

4. The name and location of the virtual machine storage are allocated according to the actual situation

5. Memory is also allocated according to actual needs or the host machine's memory, and then the next step

6. You must select a network card, otherwise the virtual machine cannot connect to the network, and then the next step

7. According to the actual disk, select a suitable location, and then the next step

8. Select to install the operating system later, and then click Next

9. Click Finish

10. Click the newly created virtual machine and click Settings

11. Connect to the virtual machine

12. Media>DVD Drive>Insert Disk

13. Select the image file and click Open

14. After the preparation is completed, power on the virtual machine and start installing the system.

OK, the next screen you see is the normal system installation screen. With proper configuration, you can complete the installation of the first hyper-v virtual machine!
