Figure E shows the configuration screen. Check the Enable box at the top of the window. To get started, that's all you need to do. Obviously, if you begin to use VS in a production environment, you should consider installing an SSL certificate in order to protect the management traffic. If you don't enable VMRC, you won't be able to interact with a running virtual machine.
At this point, you've created your virtual server. You now have a computer set up and ready to go, but it doesn't have an operating system. If you try to boot this OS-less system, you'll receive the typical "non-system disk" or "disk error" message that you'd see if you tried to boot a regular computer with no OS.
The solution: Install an operating system. Before you proceed, make sure that your CD device is set up correctly and that installation media is present.
Next, click the little thumbnail picture of your server's console. From here, install the server operating system just as you would for a regular physical server. You'll be able to interact with your server just as if you were sitting at the console. The screen in Figure G shows a fully loaded Windows Server installation being used via a Web browser and running inside the VS server. One important note: While you're loading the operating system, your mouse pointer will be captured each time you do something inside the virtual server.
To release the mouse pointer back to the host system, press the right [Alt] key. The left [Alt] key will not release your pointer. Don't use [Ctrl][Alt][Del] because this keystroke will be captured by the host system. After you've loaded your operating system, you'll probably notice that it looks pretty bad.
The resolution will most likely be low, and you'll eventually get annoyed that your mouse pointer is continually captured by the virtual machine. Fortunately, all of this can and should be fixed with the installation of the Virtual Machine Additions. The Virtual Machine Additions do the following:.
The Virtual Machine Additions work only for Windows virtual machines. To install the Virtual Machine Additions, make sure your virtual server is turned on and you're logged in as an administrator and sitting at the desktop.
Now, go back to your virtual server's console and follow the steps in the wizard. After you install the Virtual Machine Additions, you'll have to restart your virtual server.
You'll now have a fully functional VS server and a virtual machine running inside of it. Deployment planning First, keep in mind the systems that you can actually run inside VS Limitations Clients running inside VS have some limitations that are important to understand. Editor's Picks. The best programming languages to learn in Therefore, you should determine how much downtime is acceptable for the host and the virtual machines before you choose the host migration approach.
Windows Server Inside Out. Sign in. Your cart. Page 1 of 6 Next. This chapter from Windows Server Hyper-V Resource Kit will provide you with guidance about what should be moved, how to move it, when to move it, and other important considerations you need to be aware of during the process.
A guest operating system can not be used efficiently until the Virtual Machine Additions is installed. Since it is not installed by default when you install R2, you must do so afterwards using the process outlined below. You'll now have a fully functional VS R2 server, and a virtual machine running inside of it. This article is also available as a TechRepublic download. Author's note In this article, I'll outline the hardware and software requirements that must be met prior to installing VS R2.
System requirements First, the computer that you are installing R2 on -- also referred to as the host computer -- must meet a set of minimum hardware and software requirements. Editor's Picks.
