Implementing Hyper-V®

Module Overview

• Overview of Hyper-V
• Creating Virtual Machines
• Managing Virtual Hard Disks
• Managing Snapshots

2
Lesson 1: Overview of Hyper-V

• What Is Client Hyper-V?


• Scenarios for Using Client Hyper-V

What Is Client Hyper-V?

Client Hyper-V is a feature that enables virtualization


within the Windows 10 environment
Hardware and software requirements:
• Windows 10 64-bit version
• SLAT supported processor
• 4 GB RAM
Management Tools:
• Hyper-V Manager
• Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection tool
• Hyper-V Module for Windows PowerShell

4
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

6
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 Default configuration


components include: options:
• Name: New Virtual Machine
• Memory
• Processor • Location: The default location
configured for Client Hyper-V
• Network adapters
• Memory: 512 MB
• Virtual disks
• Network connection: Not
connected
• Virtual hard disk: Dynamically
expanding hard disk with a
storage capacity of 127 GB
• Operating system: No media
specified

8
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

10
What Is a Virtual Hard Disk?

A VHD provides storage for a virtual machine, and


is represented and used just like a physical disk
within the virtual machine

VHDs in Windows 8:
• Are available in two types: IDE and SCSI

• Support the VHDX format

• Can be created as fixed-size or dynamically


expanding drives

11

Configuring a Virtual Hard Disk

When planning virtual hard disks:


• Implement storage solutions with multiple
hard drives to distribute disk I/O

• Use fast hard drives

• Consider deploying a SAN for VHD storage

• Implement iSCSI SANs for a less expensive


storage solution

• Avoid scanning virtual hard disk files with


antivirus software, or use virtualization-aware
anti-virus software

12
Lesson 4: Managing Snapshots

• What Is a Snapshot?
• Creating and Managing Snapshots
• Considerations for Working with Snapshots

13

What Is a Snapshot?

Snapshots: Snapshot files:


• Virtual machine configuration
• Are a point-in-time copy
.XML file
of a virtual machine
• Save state files
• Do not affect the running
state of a virtual machine • Differencing disk (.AVHD)

14
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

15

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
