Step by Step Hyper-V Installation

Hyper-V is a new role in Windows Server 2008 that provides you with the tools and services you can use to create a virtualized server computing environment. This guide introduces Hyper-V by providing instructions for installing this role and configuring a virtual machine.

Hardware Requirements
Hyper-V requires an x64-based processor, hardware-assisted virtualization(EG:Intel VT), and hardware data execution protection.

Install Hyper-V
You can use Server Manager to install Hyper-V.
1. Click Start, and then click Server Manager.

2. In the Roles Summary area of the Server Manager main window, click Add Roles.

3. On the Select Server Roles page, click Hyper-V.

4. On the Create Virtual Networks page, click one or more network adapters if you want to make their network connection available to virtual machines.

5. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, click Install.

6. The computer must be restarted to complete the installation. Click Close to finish the wizard, and then click Yes to restart the computer.

7. After you restart the computer, log on with the same account you used to install the role. After the Resume Configuration Wizard completes the installation, click Close to finish the wizard.

Create and set up a virtual machine
After you have installed Hyper-V, you can create a virtual machine and set up an operating system on the virtual machine.

To create and set up a virtual machine
1. Open Hyper-V Manager. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Hyper-V Manager.

2. From the Action pane, click New, and then click Virtual Machine.

3. From the New Virtual Machine Wizard, click Next.

4. On the Specify Name and Location page, specify what you want to name the virtual machine and where you want to store it.

5. On the Memory page, specify enough memory to run the guest operating system you want to use on the virtual machine.

6. On the Networking page, connect the network adapter to an existing virtual network if you want to establish network connectivity at this point.

7. On the Connect Virtual Hard Disk page, specify a name, location, and size to create a virtual hard disk so you can install an operating system on it.

8. On the Installation Options page, choose the method you want to use to install the operating system:

• Install an operating system from a boot CD/DVD-ROM. You can use either physical media or an image file (.iso file). .

9. Click Finish.

After you create the virtual machine, you can start the virtual machine and install the operating system.
Install the operating system and integration services.In the final step of this process, you connect to the virtual machine to set up the operating system. As part of the setup, you install a software package that improves integration between the virtualization server and the virtual machine.

 Note
The instructions in this step assume that you specified the location of the installation media when you created the virtual machine. The instructions also assume that you are installing an operating system for which integration services are available.

To install the operating system and integration services

1. From the Virtual Machines section of the results pane, right-click the name of the virtual machine you created in step 2 and click Connect. The Virtual Machine Connection tool will open.

2. From the Action menu in the Virtual Machine Connection window, click Start.

3. Proceed through the installation.

(Notes) After the operating system is set up, you are ready to install the integration services. From the Action menu of Virtual Machine Connection, click Insert Integration Services Setup Disk. If Autorun does not start the installation automatically, you can start it manually.
