Creating your own “Private Cloud” with Windows 10 Hyper-V

WIN443

A little intro to Hyper-V

What Hyper-V enables you to do

Hyper-V enables running virtualized computer systems on top of a physical machine *.

Virtualized systems can be used and managed just as if they were physical computer systems

Virtualization enables quick deployment of computer systems

Windows 10

Virtual Machines

NEW: you can now have nested virtualization with Windows 10

Common scenarios• A test environment consisting of multiple

virtual machines of multiple operating systems.

• You can use Hyper-V to troubleshoot virtual machines from any Hyper-V deployment.

• Using virtual networking, you can create a multi-machine environment on a laptop for demonstrating older versions of Windows or non-Windows operating systems

Windows 10

Virtual Machines

Checking if your computer have the pre-requisites

First, let check the Software side…

Make sure you have the supported version of Windows 10: • Windows 10 Enterprise

• Windows 10 Professional• Windows 10 Education

And then Hardware…

Checking Hardware Compatibility• 64-bit Processor with SLAT.• CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension

(VT-c on Intel CPU's).

It is recommended a minimum of 4 GB memory

Checking Hardware Compatibility

If you run systeminfo.exe on an existing Hyper-V host

On the command prompt, type systeminfo.exe

Enabling BIOSBoot your computer and go to BIOS setup to enable both Virtualization Technology and Data Execution Prevention

Installing Hyper-V

Install Hyper-V

Go to Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off, check Hyper-V

Hyper-V Manager

Hyper-V Manager

External – if a virtual machine needs to get access to a physical network directly.Internal – if no need to get access to physical network. however network connectivity exists between virtual machines and Hyper-V host.Private – if  a virtual machine only runs on this host and connectivity does not exist between virtual machines and Hyper-V host.

Networking

You may want to create a virtual switch for both the wired and wireless network cards.

With this configuration you can change your virtual machines between theses switches dependent on how the laptop is network connected.

CheckPointsYou may want to create a virtual machine checkpoint before making software configuration changes, applying a software update, or installing new software

CheckpointsOne of the great benefits to virtualization is the ability to easily save the state of a VM•Standard Checkpoints – takes a snapshot of the VM and VM memory state at the time the checkpoint is initiated.•Production Checkpoints – uses VSS or File System Freeze on a Linux virtual machine to create a data consistent back of the VM.

Import/Export a VM

An export can be used for backup, restoration, or a way to move a virtual machine between hosts

Export VM

When creating an export of a virtual machine, all associated files are bundled in the export. This includes configuration files, hard drive files and also any existing checkpoint files

A virtual machine export can be imported back into the host from which it was derived or new host.

Register in-place – Keep the same ID. VM files are on location where it should be run. If the virtual machine is already registered with Hyper-V it needs to be deleted before the import will work. Restore the virtual machine – Creates a copy of the exported file and moves them to a selected location. If the VM is already running in Hyper-V it needs to be deleted before the import can be completed. Copy the virtual machine – The imported VM has a new unique ID which means that it can be imported into the same host many times.

Export VM

Virtual Machine Configuration Version

What version of Hyper-V the VM configuration, saved state, and snapshot files is compatible with?

Checking the Configuration Version

Get-VM * | Format-Table Name, Version

Important: The .VMCX file is a binary format. Directly editing the .VMCX or .VMRS file isn't supported.

Connected Standby

When Hyper-V is enabled on a computer that uses the Always On/Always Connected (also known as InstantON) power model

Connected Standby is now available

Windows PowerShell Direct

• The host needs to a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016• The guest VM’s needs to run Windows 10 or Windows Server

2016.• You need to be logged on the host with Hyper-V Administrator

account.• You need User credentials for the virtual machine.• The VM you want to connect to must be running

Nested Virtualisation

Demo: Let’s get hands onNEW: Nested VirtualizationAlessandro Cardoso

What is not available in Win10 Hyper-V

Windows Server featuresNot included on Windows 10 Hyper-V:

• The Remote FX capability to virtualize GPUs • Live migration of virtual machines from one host to another• Hyper-V Replica• Virtual Fibre Channel• SR-IOV networking• Shared .VHDX

License

You'll need to have a valid license for any operating systems you use in the VMs.
