Compatibility of VHDs with Hyper-V VHDs

• Windows Virtual PC VHD will work in Hyper‐V after uninstalling the Integration components (ICs)

• Uninstall the ICs before moving the Windows Virtual PC VHD to Hyper‐V

• A VHD created in Hyper‐v cannot be usedto create a virtual machine in Windows Virtual PC(or VPC 2007) due to an incompatibleHardware Abstraction Layer (“HAL”)



Setup and Install

• Run Hardware Assessment Virtualization Tool

– Intel® VT– AMD‐V®– In addition you need to disable TXT

(Trusted execution technology in BIOS)– Don’t forget the hard reboot!

(Full power down & then start again)

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V

Blain BartonIT Pro Evangelist – East Region





Agenda of Hyper-V

• Windows Server Hyper-V Fundamentals

• Planning Deployment of Virtualization Solutions– Microsoft Self-Assessment & Planning (MAP) Toolkit

• Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V



Core Scenarios for Hyper-V

Server Consolidation

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Testing and Development

Dynamic Data Center



Server Consolidation

• Issues– Underutilized hardware – Excessive power consumption– Expensive space across datacenter and branch offices

• Solutions– Minimize capital expenditures – Reduce operating costs – Improve service levels

The fastest way to reduce costs



Virtualization Workloads

Management of the workloads is key, not just the virtual machines.
