Core hyper-v (bare metal)

Hi, 
i had a query  that what is the difference between CORE HYPER-V and HYPER-V 
can any one explain me better so that  related to licencing if in case 
Windows server 2008 r2 or 2012 r2 standard editions we can create only two vm's but i need answer for if i am install core hyper-v how many vm's i can create and how the licence works 
and some thing like 
core hyper v -------------> 1) windows 7 
2) windows 8
3) windows 8.1
.......soon can i  install like this 
Please me revert back .
Regards,
venkatavivek.

Hi,
You can use the snapshot part of the Hyper-V role or you can use the windows backup to take a full backup of each machine in case of (Windows OS). Snapshot works for most of the roles with exception of domain controller role.
You can also use the export feature to export each machine.
Hope it helps.

  • What is your preferred method of remote bare metal hyper-v 2012 server imaging

    I need to remotely provision (image) 32 Dell 620 servers (they have iDRAC installed), I will have system center 2012. I was thinking PXE boot and place images on the servers. I know I can use the iDRAC to remote boot a virtual ISO file and install the OS
    that way. I am looking for a better faster and more pre-configured OS way.
    I am used to using Shadow Protect (ghost like product) and making and placing 0 and 1 disk images on servers, I would like to continue along that vein. But with added ability to PXE boot and image the server that way. I am looking into clonezilla and want
    any thoughts of success or failures with server 2012 deployment.
    I understand that you can use system center 2012 to deploy images to your bare metal servers (lots of moving parts and looks pretty complicated) and that it will then deploy a VHD image file to your server. I am assuming that means it will boot to the VHD
    file (hyper-v light) . I have heard this slows down disk read\writes and can cause some issues.
    Thoughts with clear instructions please. Only link me to a website if it helps you to not type so much.
    Also looking into the DELL KACE server.
    Can anyone tell me if I need system center only or if I need Configuration Manager to image servers??

  • Bare-metal deployment of non-hyper-v host possible?

    Is it possible to use VMM 2012 R2 to perform a bare-metal deployment of a physical server which will not be a Hyper-V server? Just trying to find out if there's an opportunity to consolidate our build process to replace OSD or using the MDT. In this scenario
    I'm willing to consider options that don't involve using the VMM/App Controller interface (i.e., calling the PowerShell cmdlets directly).
    William Busby, PMP

    Nope.  not at this time.
    VMM focuses on managing the fabric components that the VMs require.
    You can build a Service Template that stands up an app server as a VM.  But, it would be managed by VMM.  So it really does not fit your ask.
    You need to look into configurations and desired state configuration.  At least that way you can define your end result and apply it to any machine.  But you still have to automate the deployment of the OS somehow.  Using WDS if you want to
    go that route, or any of the 3rd party management layers.

  • Bare Metal Deployments: The BMC can't have IP Address defined in logical network?

    I have defined a logical network, a logical switch, and a port profile.  I apply the logical switch (the NIC teaming settings) and a virtual network adapter that inherits the hosts network configuration (pass through config. no software defined networking)
    to each of my Hyper-V hosts successfully.
    The issue occurs once I have defined that logical network, I can no longer deploy bare metal hosts because the BMC obtains an IP within that logical network.  You see the BMC IPs and NICs are on the same subnet/VLAN.
    What's the best practice or perhaps best method to get around this issue?

    I am not sure if I follow you on this one.
    You have created a logical network for your BMC in VMM? If so, why have you done that?
    The bare-metal process requires both PXE and
    DHCP during this process, and the scope should therefore be in DHCP and not VMM for this purpose. 
    Can you try to do that? (If this is a lab environment, you could add the DHCP service to your PXE server or even VMM server).

  • Can i run Mac OS X on Mac Mini under a "bare metal" Hypervisor?

    Unfortunately, I can't leave Windows because of heavy amount of legacy software which cannot be easily transfered to Mac OS X (for example, databases running on MSSQL).
    On the other side I like Mac Mini hardware for its size, noise level and power consumption and want to try Mac OS X (buying it only to replace Max OS X with Windows would be insane).
    So, to avoid buying a separate computer, I want to run both operating systems simultaneously under a "bare metal" Hypervisor (VMWare ESXi, Hyper-V etc.).
    Using BootCamp to run either Mac OS X or Windows doesn't fit my needs. Running Windows as a guest OS in Parallels - doesn't fit them too.
    Both OS should be able to run at the same time, and Windows should be on 24h a day.
    I know that a hypervisor can be installed on Mac Mini. I know also that running Windows on it won't be a problem.
    The only question is - will the Mac OS X Lion run under hypervisor?

    VMWare ESXi should support Lion and Mountain Lion, both in terms of it having been done and beeing allowed by Apple's license.
    Note: Apple's license only allows hosting two virtual OS X machines on a single host.
    In addition to ESXi, there is also Parallels Server for Mac Bare Metal Edition. See http://www.parallels.com/uk/products/server/mac/baremetal/technical-resources/ I merely mention it for completeness, I would stick to ESXi since it is 'free'.
    You could consider running OS X as the host operating system and Windows as a guest VM using VirtualBox. VirtualBox can be configured to start automatically and invisibly on the Mac host. You could then use Microsoft RDP to connect to the running VM. Its services like SQL Server would of course be running and accessible as normal.

  • Bare-metal deployment to previously used host fails - removing host references.

    I am running SCVMM 2012 R2 and setting up bare-metal deployment of Hyper-V hosts. I got it almost figured out but I am getting a failure when it tries to register the host with the error The fault reason was: 'Unexpected registration of physical
    computer 4a310166-642f-e211-0050-05000000003a.' in the vmm log file vmmagentpe.exe.log. The error onscreen in PE is
    Error: 803d0013. I have been using this server for my testing and have had a few other failures which are now resolved. All other tasks in the job complete except for
    Wait for physical machine to reboot and customization to be finished.
    This host was also registered in VMM as part of a manually built cluster before I started looking into bare-metal. I believe the problem is that there are probably references to this host in VMM.
    Does anyone know where to look in the db or another method to remove anything related to this host?

    I figured this out. It was rebooting to PXE instead of booting to the newly installed OS. once I reset the boot order to local disk it came up and ran mini-setup, domain join and all as expected.

  • Rename vNics during bare metal deployment

    Hi all!
    I am deploying a cluster of Hyper-V hosts with VMM, each host with two vSwitches. The first vSwitch is intend for guest VMs and the second for host management, heartbeat and live migration (all vNics). I have configured IP-pools for the three
    vNics and technically it's all working like a charm. The issue I have concerns the actual day to day management in regards to monitoring which host has which IP. When running Get-SCIPAddress | Out-GridView it produces a list of all IPs "leased"
    from VMM, but I find it hard to see which host has the actual address for the heartbeat and Live migration vNics when looking at the description column. For the bare metal deployed hosts it the description shows the vSwitch name plus an incremental number
    and not the actual hostname of the host using that particular IP. 
    Example: For host1 it would read "HostSwitch5" for the LiveMigration IP and "HostSwitch6" for the heartbeat IP.
    If you have a great number of hosts and all of them show the same description it gets pretty confusing.
    The management vNic IP shows the hostname for the host in the description column and I'd really like the other vNics to show the same. Maybe this has something to do with this being the only vNic configured with a gateway and DNS or something?
    Now, I could use the AssignedToID column but that only outputs the host's GUID which (at least for me) is not "human readable" :) So, I'd like to change the description field of each IP to read the actual hostname of the host using it. Is this
    possible?

    I specifically asked the product team about that.
    And this has actually been the behavior all along. However, it was never my experience until after applying UR2.
    And this is an experience vs. Product behavior thing. Somewhere in the process something changed with how the one is decided upon when vmm gets more than one match.
    I am going to add this to my discussion with them.
    Glad we have your issue resolved.

  • Bare Metal Deployment

    When Deploying a VHD through Bare Metal you end up with a C: that is 40 BG is size and a D: the size of the physical drive. Is there any way to change the size of the resulting C:
    Is there any good documentation on this

    The size of the "C:" drive is dependant on the size of the VHD(x) file you are deploying to the host.
    You will always see the D drive and it will always show the entire size of the physical drive as it is indeed the physical drive that hosts the VHD(x) file (the C drive is the mounted VHDx file stored on the "D" physical drive).
    If you want to see the C drive as using all of the available space the physical drive has, size it appropriately when creating it.
    However... 50-60Gb should be sufficient for any deployment as it should only ever be the Base OS, plus Hyper-V component + drivers + Management tools/Agents. The physical drive needs enough space to store the expanded size of the VHD(x) file plus the Page
    File (this is created outside of the VHD(x) file).
    This also means that you can then use that VHD(x) file to deploy to any server with a physical drive bigger than say 60Gb rather than sizing the VHD(x) file at 200Gb and only being able to use it with servers with 200Gb+ physical drives.
    This link might help you understand it more as it's a general Windows feature not VMM/Hyper-V:

  • SCVMM Bare Metal Deployment with SAN Boot

    Can VMM assign "boot targets" to hosts while deploying them? Or do I have to do it manually before initiating VMM deployment? Specifically talking about PowerEdge M420. But also interested if it is possible in general?
    The data above this text is pseudorandom, brace yourselves.

    Hi Sir,
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305547
    This article shows the key point is we need to make the LUN works properly like a local disk , it also means that we need to prepare HBA driver within WinPE image before the deployment .
    I have also read these blog regarding adding drivers for SCVMM Bare Metal Deployment:

  • Unable to do Bare Metal Restore on Windows Server 2008R2 Backup from USB Seagate Backup Plus Harddrive

    I have done a windows full server backup on to an external Seagate HDD on a Dell PowerEdge T110 II Server running Windows Server 2008 R2
    I want to clone this and do a Bare Metal Restore on an identical server at home which has Windows Server 2008 R2 on it.
    I boot from the Windows DVD provided, select repair however windows Server 2008 R2 will not find the image of the Seagate drive. The Seagate drive can be seen on the server otherwise. I guess there are options to load the driver, but I don't see them.
    Please help. Kind of stuck here
    Thanks

    I am using a windows server 2008R2 disk to boot up. Both the servers have windows server 2008R2 on them. I have two licenses for each of the servers. I want to use the server at home as a backup server in case the server in office  goes down. I used
    windows server backup to backup the server at work to a portable USB hard drive. I bought the hard drive home and want to clone the server at work. I heard bare metal restore is the best way to do this. So I booted the server at home with the windows server
    2008 r2 disk that I have and clicked repair. I had attached my seagate portable drive to the usb port so that the server could find the image of the server at work, however the server cant find the hard drive or the server image. Is it a problem with my usb
    hard drive? Do I need a specific type of usb hard drive to do server image backups?
    If I let my server at home boot regularly and it comes up, it can see the image on the hard drive so I dont know how to do the bare metal restore. I know it can be done becuase my IT guy did it when he set up both the servers. I just want to periodically
    clone them so make sure the server at home is updated with the settings of the server at work.
    Thanks for any help here

  • Disk Utility in Lion 10.7.4 for Bare Metal Disaster Recovery??

    We just got our 15" Macbook Pro back from repair of a catastrophic hard disc failure. Wow. An older Seagate Momentus XT 500 toasted its little self. It seems most of our data are intact. If any software on the *new* hard disc get corrupted, we need a fairly straightforward disaster recovery process.
    I need to ask if anyone has successfully used Disk Utility to create a (bare metal) disaster recovery image of everything on their hard drive, including all their software *and* the perfectly functioning OS. We'd like to be able to restore a complete disc image of the new Seagate Momentus 750 XT - taken from a 1 TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex USB drive - to the Macbook.
    Has anyone done this successfully? Thanks very much for your help!

    Time Machine, SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are some of the utilities that will allow you to backup your disk and do a complete restore.

  • Bare Metal Provisioning - physically needed machines

    Hello together,
    our company plans to use Bare Metal Provisioning soon.
    We're thinking of the installation of the needed servers at the moment. According to the best practice guide, one needs a boot server, a stage server, a rpm repository and a software library.
    In the document it's mentioned that oracle suggests to keep boot and stage server on one physical machine.
    Can we also place the rpm repository or the software library (or both?) on this machine? Do we have any disadvantages when doing it this way? As servers are nothing cheap, we could save some money. But of course not if it would cause significant problems...
    What do we have to consider about it?
    Do you have any experience in consolidating those servers?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,
    If you have small number of targets, that would be find OMS and Reporsitory on same box. But for in future considering growth you may require distributed architecture.

  • Bare metal restore of full server backup fails with RPC error 0x800706BA (server 2012)

    With Windows Server 2012, after creating a successful windows server backup (full server), I am unable to do a bare metal restore of the system.
    EFI System Partition, C:, D: are the volumes on a single array (Raid 5).
    Loading WinRE and launching re-image, the full server restore stops after completing the C: restore just after beginning the D: drive restore (data volume) with the error with the message about RPC error 0x800706BA, unavailable.
    The system will not boot as a result of the failure. 
    What may be causing this?
    [edit]
    I think I have two things working against me here... one, Volume Shadow Copy service wasn't running in WinPE and two.. the D: volume contains data deduplication.
    I think this is causing some of my problems.
    Is there an additional service that I need to start in WinPE to get a volume that was deduplicated restored perhaps using wbadmin?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply Shaon.
    The hardware system is identical; however, I am increasing storage capacity from 12TB to 16TB.  Basically, the system is the same, just new hard drives (4x4TB versus 4x3TB).  Drives are all identical enterprise class drives and I am actually using
    the same system (backup, swap drives then restore).
    I tried both using the WinRE restore (re-image) with the backup set, and tried using wbadmin.  Both produce same RPC unavailable messages (although using the GUI based tool via WinRE provides the additional error code #).
    I do not have any idea what to look at to try to figure this one out.
    [edit]
    I was just informed of this posting:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/147efccc-e0e9-4458-852e-c3a44ae5cb64/the-system-image-restore-failed-error-details-he-rpc-server-is-unavailable-0x800706ba?forum=windowsbackup
    and in my case, this lab server does in fact act also as a DC as well as a file server...  do I need to spin up a secondary controller (perhaps in a VM on another machine) to do this restore?

  • Is there any helpful link/tutorial on bare metal programming on MicroBlaze?

    Hi,
    I have a Spartan-6 EDK board. Because my target design will be a fast AGC adjustment (in 20 uS step making an adjustment), I think that it cannot use an OS (Is it  right?).
    For a bare metal programming on MicroBlaze, I do not see any description on this topic. Neither I find an answer in the web search. 
    Can you help me on my question?

  • Is it okay to do a bare metal Linux Mint 17 install, or do I need to keep Windows 8 on my SSD drive?

    I will be installing a new Samsung EVO SSD drive in a new T540p.  I really don't use Windows anymore, so I'm wondering if I have to keep Windows 8 on this machine and set up a dual boot with the new Mint 17 on the new SSD - or - can I just install the Mint on the new bare metal SSD?  Can I do this and still have UEFI too?  I'd prefer that.  It would just be Mint 17 on the UEFI SSD.
    Or is this a crazy idea?   My old computer is dual boot and I just don't use the Windows OS anymore.  It's just uselessly using up my drive space.
    Solved!

    The T540p is a really nice machine. I have Windows 8.1 running on mine. The display is fantastic. I'm sure you will really enjoy yours.
