Currently planning on deploying a localised virtualized environment just wanting to know which one is better and the pros and cons

HP OMEN LAPTOP. I have HP Omen Ryzen 4800H 15-en0023dx. Okay when I enable Hyper-V Windows feature, my Realtek LAN is not working & if I disable it, then the LAN is starting working. Kindly help.

Idk if this is the right forum to ask about it but let’s see, so I created hyper v, and if I try to use vpn on my personal pc and then try to connect hyper v, it doesn’t start. Is there any problem using VPN? I want to keep my vpn on in my personal pc while I use hyper v…

I hope I'm on the right sub-forum. Hi, I'm attempting to run Manjaro in Hyper-V, but it refuses to boot. It keeps giving me an error: Could not initiate memory: Not enough memory resources are available to complete this operation. (0x8007000E). Here's a screenshot of the error with the Task Manager. I've already tried lowering my RAM to 1024MB, but it still won't run. Here's a screenshot of my settings. Here are my specs: Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 BIOS: N2XET29W (1.19) Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1083) i5-10210U 1 x 16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz 256GB NVMe SSD Any help would be greatly appreciated!

so i want to disable hyper-v since with it enabled i can't run a VM (my processor is Celeron N3150 (Brasswell)) and i just installed WSL and hyper-v got enabled, and i go search how to disable it, found microsoft documentation, but it didn't work in any ways, powershell ? failed, control panel (turn windows features on or off) ? failed as well, idk what to do again, this isn't a urgent thing but i hope you guys can help me (the instruction i followed : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v )

Some useful information: Drive enclosure: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07N48N5GR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Drive: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB Laptop: Dell XPS 13 7390 Hello I study Applied Information Technology and I use external storage to store my VMs. Here is my problem: When I am working on my VM in Hyper V, my VM crashes after some time due to the drive disconnecting. Has anyone experienced something similar and have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, William Coenen

I followed every step from the github page but for some reason i cant install geforce drivers on my vm.

I'm trying to set up a Hyper-V VM but if I attempt to connect the the VM is just says 'Cannot coonect to the virtual machine...' but what's interesting is the preview works fine.... I have no clue what is wrong with it. I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021. Things I've tried: Disabling and Re-enabling Hyper-v (via Turn Windows Features on & off) Restarting VMMS service Checking to make the VMMS is listening on the right port (2179) Disabling NUMA spanning Creating a new VM Disabling Windows Firewall Removing vmconnect.exe from Windows Security Exploit Protection thing Adding my user to the Hyper-V Administrator group Probably something else I forgot Any more ideas?

Hello everyone, We have a 3D Printing server running on windows to manage and send files to said printers. We have used a second PC running Ubuntu running MJPEG streamer to use as a webcam server to monitor the prints. We no longer have access to the second PC and have tried to run ubuntu as a VM on HyperV. We got Ubuntu working, but we don't know how to get access to the webcam plugging into the host PC to work. Thanks!

On my pc (Win10) I have a hyper-v vm running which is also on Win10. When it is running using an external switch, it causes my PC to blue screen. Sometimes it can go all day without a crash but other times it could crash multiple times in a row. The blue screens only seem to occur when the vm is running using an external switch, but doesnt happen as often with an internal switch. The external switch is shared with the host OS. Using blue screen viewer, it has indicated these as issues: hal.dll NNSPRV.sys ntoskrnl.exe These have shown for the last 3 blue screens. Occasionally vmswitch.sys is indicated as the issue. I have updated my network drivers to the latest version I could find and that didn't work, I have also updated to the latest BIOS version which hasn't helped either. I use the vm for Plex related applications and use the PC for working/gaming. Any support would be greatly appreciated as this is one major headache for me!

Hey guys, I just added a 4 port Intel PRO /1000 PT network card to my server. The host machine is running windows server 2012. I want to run multiple VM's. Currently I have a CCTV server running on windows Server which is quite heavy on bandwidth. How should I configure the NIC Teaming for best performance and balance? In addition to the Intel 4 port NIC, my motherboard Ethernet port is also connected. I have a DrayTek router (enterprise grade) so I was wanting to setup VLAN tagging on the VM's (if that's best practice)?

For some reason, when I connect to a Hyper-V VM from the Hyper-V Manager, the size of the VM's window is unusally large, and it takes up a huge amount of space on my 1080p monitor. Is there a way to make the VM open into a smaller window, either using Hyper-V or within the VM? For reference, I'm using Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 as my VM OS. I just want more workspace, if nothing else.

I currently am using Windows deployment services to do imaging and deployment of machines. I created a gen 1 VM to install the OS on, then have a Gen 2 VM pointed at that vhd. Then I should be able to pxe boot the Gen2 VM and capture the image so that I can deploy it to physical machines. But when I go to pxe boot I get an error screen: pxe-boot using ipv4 .... Station IP is 192.168.11.3 Server IP is 192.168.11.204 NBP filename is boot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi NBP filesize is 0 Bytes PXE-23:Client received TFTP error from server. Boot failed EFI Network Boot failed EFI SCSI Device. No OS was loaded. I have looked all over, trying to figure this out. Suggestions would be great! EDIT: also I am trying to capture an x86 operating system if that helps

Hello everyone! Hopefully, I used to correct forum for this if not please tell me which the correct one is. I am working on a hobby project where I want to have multiple VM that each get their own dedicated GPU. The parts used: 8x NVIDIA GTX 1070 Founder Editions 1x Intel Xeon E5-2695 V3 ЕS 2.3GHz 14 Core 28 Threads LGA2011-3 1x Asus Ramgage V Extreme / U3.1 Motherboard OS: Windows Server 2019 Datacenter with HyperV. (As far as I know Linus and his team used Red Hat KVM for their projects but I have no access to that OS) I am following this explaination: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/passing-through-devices-to-hyper-v-vms-by-using-discrete-device-assignment/ Unfortunately this part stopped me: Dismount-VmHostAssignableDevice -LocationPath $locationPath -Force –Verbose I am getting this error message: "The current configuration does not allow for os control of the pci express bus. please check your bios or uefi" I belive that my Motherboard doesn't support this kind of action but I am not sure. Does anybody know how to enable this? If it is not possible with my motherboard: Does anybody know a motherboard which allowes me to do this? There is no reason why I want to do this... I just thought about it the other day and since then I am trying to get this to work. I am looking forward to your Ideas! (If you need pictures or more information I will happily provide it!)

If I have a server with 4 network adapters and I want to team those interfaces would it be better to create two separate teams of (2) NIC's each? One team (2 NICs) for the host and one team (2 NICs) for the virtual machines or create a large single team of (4 NICs) and "share" the vNIC? The reason I am debating this is because if you have your virtual machines sending data and you're also doing replication of your VMs (Host Traffic) in theory it seems like it would be better to split this traffic however I may be wrong in my thinking. I'm hoping someone else can give me some insight. I also believe that software teaming in Windows doesn't actually give you a aggregated (4Gbps) of throughput. Instead you would have to configure something like LACP with Etherchannel? Just looking for someone with some more experience in this. Thanks

hi how do i copy my virtual machine from one place to another. i tried to export it but it doesnt and fails

Hey guys, quick question, what's the easiest/quickest way to migrate a VM running in Hyper-V to another HDD? I stupidly installed my first VM on my OS drive and been meaning to move it for a while now cause it's sending my i/ops pretty high. All my other VM's are running on separate drives. Any ideas?

I am experiencing some problems with VirtualBox. When booting up a newly created VM it runs for a short amount of time before running into errors. If I try to install a Windows VM it will always BSOD and VirtualBox will give an error message along the lines of "...memory could not be read". I get the same error with Linux machines, and I also tested ReactOS which goes through the installation, but when it reboots after the installation and I select "ReactOS" I would get the ReactOS logo and a loading bar, then the VM has a black screen and nothing happens. I have tried reinstalling the latest version of Virtualbox, same issue. Uninstalled and then deleted all Virtualbox folders still remaining (.Virtualbox in the user folder, anything left in Program files), installed a slightly older version of Virtualbox (6.1.10), same issue. I considered trying out VMware, but during the installation I was told by VMware that it is not supported on my version of Windows at the same time as HyperV is installed, either uninstall HyperV or update Windows. I was at the time on Windows 10 1909, which I have now updated to 2004. Tried Virtualbox again after updating Windows, but still the same issue. However I don't get errors in Virtualbox anymore (memory could not be read), I only experience the issues within the VMs (Windows BSOD, Ubuntu stops on installation due to HDD or DVD error, general error message, ReactOS same issue as before). When checking task manager I noticed that the HDD which is where I have the VMs and ISO files stored is running at 100% disk activity the entire time when the VMs try to install. Response time seems to be acceptable, but not great. So I tried storing the VMs and ISO files on an SSD that works well, but still same issue in Virtualbox. I have tried a lof of different VM settings in Virtualbox, but can't get anything to work. I mentioned HyperV which I have installed on my system. HyperV has worked perfectly fine the entire time with the same ISO files, same HDD and SSD, no errors at all, and running multiple VMs on the same slow HDD with HyperV has worked fine the entire time. But Linux support on HyperV isn't great, which is why I would like to get Virtualbox to work as I've had great experience with Virtualbox in the past. Any ideas?

Alright guys, I'm looking for the suggestions to what to do with my home server/NAS. I built a fairly cheap home server in order to have a plex library and also serve as a back up with redundancy. I have the following hardware currently: 4x 3TB WD Red drives, 8GB RAM(1333), I3 2100 CPU and a 128GB SSD boot drive. I am currently experimenting with Hyper-V and virtualization which is a lot of fun however I have some issues. The disks are currently configured as Raid 5 (or Parity in Win Server 2016) in order to be safe for one drive failure and not waste too much space. (I also have a backup client (Arq backup) running backing everything up to a Gsuite account for extra redundancy or if the apartment burns down) The issue I'm having: I have very low write speeds to the disk array and during write the machine is very slow. I was speaking to a friend of mine who said that it might be because of too little RAM since windows uses the RAM as a cache before writing to the drive array. So, luckily I had just bought a new PC so I upgraded the hardware to an I5 2500 and now 12 GB RAM (same speed). Now the machine is even slower and the slow write speeds are better but still not solved.The transfer just dumps down to next to nothing after a few minutes/seconds. WHAT THE HELL?! The ram utilization is down at 30%. I've tried dynamic RAM (which doesn't work, not sure why) and I've assigned it 8GB which should be more then enough to write a small 1,5 GB file. Let me add that writing to the boot drive as no issues what so ever. This is my symptom both before and after upgrading the RAM, now it just takes a little while longer before it dives. The second image is the current issue. I can see that even with a small file I can see that it is transmitting but the window just keeps calculating, only when I press Cancel do I see the actual write speed just before the window closes. I want to add as well that in resource manager the "highest activity time" is always att 100%". There's also no issue with the drives. I've run several checks on them. Possible solution: I just had the idea today, Do you think it's possible to create a partition on the SSD Boot drive (say 30 GB) and use that as a cache instead of the RAM ? (if that even is the issue). Any and all suggestions is welcome. I've even starting to think about if it's better to have like a 10TB drive simple disk for the Plex library and have a 6TB raid 10 array for the backed up data ?? Please share any and all ideas or thoughts you have.

Hey, I am curios if I can make such a 2 gamers 1 cpu build, but I find that option to make it work too hard, at least for me, I currently have a cpu which would support this, of course if I can do it somehow else I will change to a better one, but is hyper-V a good option to do this? Are there any other options? Here is my Rig: Intel i5-6402P Gpu: gtx 950 Ram 8gb 2133 Mhz 2 tb hdd 240 gb ssd

Hi, I know this question has been asked a lot but I didn't see anyone doing this the way I intend to. So I plan on doing an upgrade of my gaming rig soon that will involve a new chassis (define r6 is what I am looking to get) and with that I was going to run a storage server using hyper-v (don't want to use unraid for this because I like having the hotplugging ease for usb devices considering I use them a lot and a lot of different ones too. Also plan on running storage server in windows environment since license isn't an issue for me and I need it for some application support.) I was wondering what you would recommend as a raid card for this application all drives will be sata and the define r6 has no hotswap backplane nor does it have enough 5 1/4 bays to add one to the case. Also saw people recommend using HBA cards with software raid but don't think that will work considering I am going to run the storage server in a windows environment. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Pale

Hello, folks, At the moment we have a number of VMs running on Hyper-V. The hypervisors are included in several failover clusters. During maintenance these machines are manually updated by removing the server from the cluster. Then an updated image is rolled out again and added to the cluster. Does anyone have a solution to automate this process as much as possible? The servers are managed via System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).

If this already exists - could we get it stickied? Curious what everyone is running out there, much how there's a 10TB+ NAS thread maybe we can start (and get stickied) a home servers thread? Just a generalized overview of what you have at home. I'm at work and when I get home I'll get a little more detailed about my own. Ideally I'd like to come up with a format for information - or maybe bum off of the NAS thread.. Really not sure how to go about this but very curious about people's @home setups, which I think is part of the curiosity/interest in the NAS thread. 1x Dell C1100 ($400 came with a 3TB green and the below) 2x 5520, 32gb DDR3 ECC, 1x 500gb SSD, quad-port nic OS: ESXI 5.5 (flash drive) VMs: vCenter 5.5 (Windows 2012r2), Domain Controller, vmware Horizon 6, Exchange 2013, SQL 2014, and a "closed" network where I'm testing sophos UTM / arch linux / unRaid (bitch to deal with as a vm) 1x IBM x3650 m2 ($230 came with a single 146gb 15k SAS drive and the below) 2x 5520, 32gb DDR3 ECC - no drives, using ISCSI targets OS: Will be ESXI 5.5 - just got this server :-) might try out Linux KVM / proxmox 1x Custom Built (~$1500 so far I think) 1x G1610, 32gb DDR3 ECC, 5x 4TB Seagate Desktop drives, 4x 3TB WD Red, 1x 160gb Intel SSD OS: FreeNAS 9.3 - Currently only using a CIFS share and 2 iSCSI targets, no jails or VMs. Raid: m1015 flashed in IT | 5x 4TB - RaidZ1 "Primary" pool, 4x 3TB Raidz2 "Backup" pool. - data is replicated from Primary to Backup nightly (only very important things)

So I've discovered the option of using Hyper-V on Windows 8.1. As I'm doing an IT-apprentice I've used Hyper-V before to build a small virtual business. Now my question is: Will there be any performance hit to the host operating system (leaving aside the resources that the VMs use of course)? Thanks for answers. -Marius

ive several servers some are set up in hyper v so i wanted to know if i export a hyper v server while its running would it be a problem? its an erp purpose server. so if i export to a file would it cause isssues to the virtual server?
