HP BL680c Implementing Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V Release Candidate 1 (R - Page 20

Install Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC1 server role To install the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC1 server role, complete the following steps: 1. Start the installation program that was obtained from either www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/audsel.mspx or the Windows Server 2008 media. 2. Click Add Roles. If this is the first time a role has been added to the server, you may see a page describing the process for adding roles. Click Next. 3. Check the box for Hyper-V and click Next. Review the overview of Windows Server 2008 Hyper- V RC1 presented on the screen, and then click Next. 4. Choose the NICs to configure as virtual networks for use by guest OSs. Click Next. IMPORTANT When the user binds the virtual network switch to the NIC, all protocols are removed. Instead of the TCP/IP protocol, the Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol is installed; therefore, all possible open Terminal Server sessions will close. To re-enable the old TCP/IP settings, login to the server locally or through IRC, and then configure the newly created network adapter while using the old TCP/IP configuration. NOTE Microsoft recommends that one NIC port be reserved for managing the host operating environment. In scenarios where this is not possible, be advised that network connectivity to the host can be temporarily interrupted during configuration changes to the virtual network. 5. Review the summary installation. Make a note of which NICs have been selected to be configured as virtual networks. 6. When prompted, choose to reboot the server to complete the installation. After the server finishes rebooting, log in as Administrator to finish the installation process. After adding the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC1 role, you can create and configure any virtual machines. 20
