Implementing Hyper-V®
Module Overview
Overview of Hyper-V
Creating Virtual Machines
Managing Virtual Hard Disks•Managing Snapshots
Lesson 1: Overview of Hyper-V
What Is Client Hyper-V?•Scenarios for Using Client Hyper-V
What Is Client Hyper-V?
Hardware and software requirements:
Management Tools:
Client Hyper-V is a feature that enables virtualization within the Windows 8 environment
• Windows 8 64-bit version• SLAT supported processor• 4 GB RAM
• Hyper-V Manager• Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection tool• Hyper-V Module for Windows PowerShell
Scenarios for Using Client Hyper-V
Scenarios for using Client Hyper-V can include:• Using self-contained, multinode test labs• Testing Windows versions • Troubleshooting production Hyper-V virtual
machines• Working with existing production Hyper-V files by
using familiar tools• Creating isolated networks for testing• Loading VHDs from a USB drive for mobility• Using preconfigured trial VHDs from Microsoft for
trial-testing a potential new application
Lesson 2: Creating Virtual Machines
Creating a Virtual Machine
Configuring Virtual Machines•Running Virtual Machines
Creating a Virtual Machine
Important information required to create a virtual machine:
• Virtual machine name• Virtual machine location• Network connection• Virtual hard disk location• Operating system installation media
Configuring Virtual Machines
Virtual Machine components include:
• Memory• Processor• Network adapters• Virtual disks
Default configuration options:• Name: New Virtual Machine
• Location: The default location configured for Client Hyper-V
• Memory: 512 MB
• Virtual hard disk: Dynamically expanding hard disk with a storage capacity of 127 GB
• Operating system: No media specified
• Network connection: Not connected
Running Virtual Machines
A virtual machine can be in one of the following states:• Stopped• Started• Running• Paused• Saved
Virtual machines can be exported and imported between Client Hyper-V and Hyper-V environments
Lesson 3: Managing Virtual Hard Disks
What Is a Virtual Hard Disk?•Configuring a Virtual Hard Disk
What Is a Virtual Hard Disk?
VHDs in Windows 8:
• Can be created as fixed-size or dynamically expanding drives
• Support the VHDX format
• Are available in two types: IDE and SCSI
A VHD provides storage for a virtual machine, and is represented and used just like a physical disk within the virtual machine
Configuring a Virtual Hard Disk
When planning virtual hard disks:
• Use fast hard drives
• Implement iSCSI SANs for a less expensive storage solution
• Consider deploying a SAN for VHD storage
• Avoid scanning virtual hard disk files with antivirus software, or use virtualization-awareanti-virus software
• Implement storage solutions with multiplehard drives to distribute disk I/O
Lesson 4: Managing Snapshots
What Is a Snapshot?
Creating and Managing Snapshots•Considerations for Working with Snapshots
What Is a Snapshot?
Snapshots:• Are a point-in-time
copy of a virtual machine
• Do not affect the running state of a virtual machine
Snapshot files:• Virtual machine
configuration .XML file
• Save state files
• Differencing disk (.AVHD)
Creating and Managing Snapshots
Manage snapshot options:
• Create a snapshot• View a snapshot• Snapshot settings• Apply a snapshot• Rename a snapshot• Delete a snapshot• Subtree• Revert
Considerations for Working with Snapshots
Snapshots:• Should not be used in production environments
• Should be used in testing and training environments
• May consume a significant amount of hard disk space
• Can have unexpected results when deleted
Lab: Implementing Hyper-V
Exercise 1: Installing Client Hyper-V•Exercise 2: Creating a Virtual Network and Virtual Machine
Logon InformationNo virtual machines are required for this exerciseEstimated time: 60 minutes
To perform this lab, you must boot the host computer to 20687B-LON-CL5. To do this, restart the host computer and choose 208678B-LON-CL5 from the boot menu. Sign in as Adatum\Administrator and the password Pa$$w0rd.
Lab Setup
The IT department at A. Datum wants to test several applications in different operating system environments prior to certifying the applications for the environment. Several members of the application testing team have expressed interest in creating virtual environments on their Windows 8 desktops where they can create and configure virtual machines. You have been asked to demonstrate the process of creating an environment where the applications can be tested.
Lab Review
Why did you have to boot from a Windows 8 VHD file in order to complete this lab?• In the lab, you configured created a private virtual network to connect the virtual machine to. Would a private network type be the logical choice if you were using the virtual machine for testing Windows Updates? Why or why not?
