Hyper-V in Windows 8.1

Hi, i've just download visual studio 2013 professional to start developing applications for Windows Phone and because of my Windows(it's regular windows 8.1, not Pro) i can't start emulator. Is there any way to install Hyper-V on regular windows 8 or emulate
apps on other virtualization engine?

Hi Zapalka,
To check whether your computer supports Hyper-v, please refer to:
# Does your Windows 8.1 computer supports Hyper-V?
http://techpageone.dell.com/technology/windows-8-1-computer-supports-hyper-v/#.U0uBX3mKCM8
To install the Hyper-v on Windows 8.1, please refer to:

How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?

Hi ,
anybody know How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?
I want to create lab but i couldn't I follow this article but the new VM is off
http://blogs.technet.com/b/gbanin/archive/2013/06/26/how-to-install-hyper-v-on-a-virtual-machine-in-hyper-v.aspx
one of hyper-v component is not running
thanks

Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.

Limitations of hyper-v in windows 8.1 in comparison with windows 2012 R2

Hi frineds
i am looking for a link or document to find out the limitations of hyper-v in windows 8.1 in comparison with windows 2012 R2. but i was unable to find a good link.
may someone please help ?

check out the "Client Hyper-V Survival Guide"
http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/hh857623.aspx
There a few features included in Windows Server Hyper-V that are not included in Client Hyper-V. These include:
Remote FX capability to virtualize GPUs (software GPU in RDP 8)
Live VM migration
Hyper-V Replica
SR-IOV networking
Synthetic fibre channel.
Shared VHDx

Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper Error during SharePoint 2013 install using Hyper-V on Windows 8.1

Client Machine
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
SQL Server 2012 (11.0.2100.60)

Doing a SharePoint Install and during the install (very near completion) I get:

I have had a few virtual machines that built fine... one I’ve been using to test with works about 33% of the time and fails with the same error other times.
I have tweaked the RAM and the # of Virtual Procs and nothing seems to consistently fix it. Specifically I've disabled dynamic memory, set the RAM to 8GB and the number of procs to
4. I've also downloaded the SharePoint ISO from multiple sources (MSDN/TechNet/Trial) thinking the installer was possibly corrupt - same issue.
At this point I'm thinking it is either an issue with Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 + SharePoint or else something specific to my hardware but it is terribly hard to troubleshoot an error that
is intermittent. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

@Trevor, I'm new to MSI debugging... now that I have a verbose log, what should I be doing with it? :)
The area of the error appears to be:

Cannot enable hyper-v in windows 8.1(EFI from bootcamp)

Hi Guys,
I wonder whether anybody has the same issue as me.
Use boot camp assistant to follow the instruction to install windows 8.1 and failed at last step said windows cannot write into boot configuration data something
Find one remediation solution to delete the partition created by boot camp and create it from disk utitlity. everything went smooth and get windows 8.1 installed(Bios), can even enable the hyper-v without any issue
Find another thread talking about EFI boot. So try it with the way(need use gdisk to do some patching and finally need recreate bcd record). windows 8.1 installed without any issue, not sure whether it is EFI boot. But I cannot enable hyper v anymore. after tick the option in windows features and it restart twice and nothing happen. The hyper-v option still remain in windows feature.
Anybody has the similar issue and provide your valuable advice? Thanks a lot.
BTW, the hardware is rMBP 15", i7 2.3GHZ, 16G RAM and 512G SSD

Hi TeddyIsSam
Encountered the same problem on my 27" iMac Mid-2010 (CPU i5-2500s)
I tried for hours/days and could not enable Hyper-V.
If i enabled hyper-v, windows would boot to black screen and could not be repaired without disabling hyper-v.
Found the problem. installing bootcamp from USB with always use latest EFI boot and hyper-v doesnt like it - at least on my old iMac.
Installing windows with old bootcamp style - BIOS emulation (or whatever apple call it) works OK.
non-EFI (or old bootcamp) is when you get 1-2 second of cursor flash in the top left before windows boots.
Unfortunately, i had removed my super drive DVD from iMac... so i could only install bootcamp from USB and this requires EFI boot only.
To remedy this, i used this process which was very,very time consuming, costs $ for winclone and not for beginners
http://huguesval.com/blog/2012/02/installing-windows-7-on-a-mac-without-superdri ve-with-virtualbox/
However, i can confirm i can now happily run hyper-v with Windows 8.1. great performance. It boots in old non-EFI mode which doesnt seem to have any downside? except the 1-2 cursor flash and i had to manually install latest graphics drivers from ATI as bootcamp drivers we buggy.
Hope this saves someone a lot of time!!!
im assuming later generation Macs happily run hyper-v with latest EFI.

Installing Hyper-V on Windows 7

Hi!
I installed Hyper-V on Windows 7, but when I try to connect to local host, the follow message appears:
"Hyper-V has not been installed on computer localhost""
Someone can help me?
Regards

Hello,
There is a solution, you 'll still be able to run a virtual machine on Windows 7. You've got to first create a Virtual Hard disk (vhd) then install Windows Server 2008R2 on it by WIM2VHD. Create a boot entry by bcdedit. Then you have your new environment
where you can install hyper-V!
Bye, Sébastien
Please explain how you can run Hyper-V in Windows 7 if you install Server 2008 R2 in a VHD. The Server 2008 R@ VHD is a separate environment on the HDD. When you boot the Server 2008 R2 VHD you are not running Windows 7.
Read the information found @
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/129475-boot-windows-7-from-vhd-an-amazing-concept/ about booting from VHD. Your method of creating the Server 2008 R2 VHD will not work. Server 2008 R@ must be installed to its own separate VHD the same as with
the Windows 7 VHD.

How to install hyper-v on windows 8 ?

How to install hyper-v on windows 8 ?
I want to install virtual PC but after some research I came to know that windows 8 no longer support virtual pc and it has been replaced by something called hyper-v.
I just bought a Windows 8 laptop.
I tried looking into windows on / off features (in control panel) and there is NO hyper-V.
I know why I don't have hyper-V because after doing some research it seems like it is only available on windows 8 PRO.
Here is comparison chart:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions#Comparison_chart
I have Widows 8 on my laptop (NOT Windows PRO).
Now in this situation, how to install hyper-v on my laptop ?
Also, will I be able to run windows 7 virtually on my windows 8 laptop using hyper-v just like virtual pc ? like switching in windows between OS ? If I cannot do this and hyper-v does not work like virtual PC then I don;t think hyper-v will be useful to
me at all and i don't wanna figure it out if it is not useful in any way ?

Hi jeffcarter,
To enable the Windows 8 Client Hyper-V feature, our computer needs to meet the following requirements:
1. Hardware supports Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
2. 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise.
3. 4 GB or above of RAM.
Therefore, it seems that your computer cannot install Hyper-V. Also, Windows Virtual PC cannot be run on Windows 8. Thanks for your understanding.
In addition, regarding how to configure your BIOS to enable Intel VT-X, you can refer to your motherboard’s operating manual or query the vendor support for help.

Hope this helps.

Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 is messing with MAC address when sharing my Wifi card

Hello,
I'm using Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 to build a complete SharePoint Development environment.
All of my VM are following this scheme:
a "local" private network shared between the host and all VM, using a static IP address plan (192.168.10.0/24)
a RJ45 external network, attached to my physical ethernet card. This network uses DHCP protocol
a WIFI external network, attached to my wireless network card. This network also use DHCP protocol
When plugged on the ethernet card, I have no issue. Both the host and the guest OSes are getting a valid IP address.
However, when I try to connect on the wireless card, I get some weird errors. Actually, my guest OS are getting the same IP address than the host. This issue an IP address conflict.
Someone else got the same kind of behavior : Windows 8.1
Hyper-V : IP address conflict on Guest OS
I've checked my MAC address plan, and it seems correct.
Using WireShark (a tool I'm not used to I admit), I can see that all DHCP request of the guest os, are sending the host MAC address, and not the guest' one.
Does anyone have an answer to this weird behavior?
Thanks,
steve

Hi Steve,
Please try the following step and then retry ipconfig /renew in your VM :
1. Configure the WI-FI router to assign a static IP address to the host’s wireless network adapter(the IP should not be in DHCP Pool).
2. On the host, configure the wireless network adapter to use a static IP address. The IP address will be the same address configured in step 1.
3. Using Hyper-V Manager, create an external network switch that is bound to the host’s wireless network adapter
Hope this helps

Hi Elton,
First of all, thanks for your effort.
I will try your suggestion, but even if it works, it won't solve the actual root the issue.
Moreover, it is only relevant if I can control every wireless network I'm connecting to. What about if I travel and I connect with a customer wireless network? what about an hotel wireless network?
As I said, wireshark shows me DHCP requests using the wrong IP address. I strongly believe there's a bug somewhere between the wireless card driver and Hyper-v Mac-Bridge service.

Unable to install Windows 10 Preview in Hyper V in Windows 8.1

Hi All,
I have a strange issue in my Hyper V in Windows 8.1 . I download the Windows 10 Technical preview ISO from the Technet Evaluation center and when i try to make a Gen 2 VM and attach the downloaded ISO it gives me the below Error.
Has any one faced this issue before ? If yes any solutions ?

Hi,
I've found this:

basicly saying you should try copy the iso, and mount that copy.

Hyper-V on Windows 8 why SLAT requirement?

When I saw that Hyper-V will be available for client OS I was very excited, and that would be my "No.1" reason to upgrade to Windows 8.
Reading the Microsoft article
Client Hyper-V and their "declarations" like
"Client Hyper-V provides the same virtualization capabilities as Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012."
or
"Because Client Hyper-V is the same technology as in Windows Server 2012, IT pros and developers do not need to learn any new tools or commands"
I thougt - Wow, I finnaly would have a single operating system to boot that would be a "desktop operating system" and all the facilities to work with Virtual Machines with server features... but this seems to be my biggest dissapointment
and I could not find any reason for this requirement as long as Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V will work without any problem on my old notebook without this SLAT requirement...
Is there any workaround, patch or any other way I could use the Hyper-V on Windows 8 without using third party software like VMWare or VirtualBox? or I have to continue to use mutiple boot OS'es depending on what I need to test... because I would like to
use an "desktop operating system" but I HAVE to use Hyper-V for my virtual machine environment... :(

I don't care about hypervisor type, I only care about the end objective to running another OS or two effectively responsive and effortless, while runnning a main host OS.
As for hypervisior type of Hyper-V, it's academic, ref
http://virtualizationreview.com/blogs/everyday-virtualization/2009/06/type-1-and-type-2-hypervisors-explained.aspx
I would have love to see hypervisor in Window 8 for me. I have long been using microsoft products as much as possible. I believe tehre is still a large base of users like to migrate to W8 from vista or W7 using existing Core 2 Quad PC ( still
farily powerful and reliable platform)
Now that I resort to Virtualbox, it just means I would not likely be back in microsoft market for future Virtualization need.
I may not count much, but for sake of microsoft, losing entrance customers would not help grow its enterprise nor small business market.

Hyper-v on windows server 2012r2 essentials!

hi,
I read just this blog about virtualisation
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn293253.aspx now my question is :
1-is this blog is about running essentaials on other OS for example server standaard or it is runnung Essentials on essential server as virtual server? enjoying of Essentials 2012r2 twice one as a host server ,other as virtual server?
I am going to test this essential tomorrow and try to make my own virtual server to see what it is all about.
so Do I have to follow all this complicated instruction on the blog above ?
I have once enabled hyper -V on windows 8 and installed windows 7 on it .it was not so complicated. I have also used virtualistion software of oracle and installed windows 8 on it very simply .
I don't understand why on server things got to be done in some complicated way?
thanks

Hi:
Sometimes Microsoft "moves in mysterious ways" to paraphrase an old expression. I have not read all of the article you linked to, but I think the operative part of the opening is:
"After OEM has done the appropriate configuration, which will be described in detail in the later sections, the end user can choose to deploy Windows Server Essentials as a virtualized instance, or perform a physical deployment."
OEM means a large "tier one" company that manufactures hardware and has a special relationship with MS. Not a system builder or an end user. If you choose to follow the steps in that document I suspect you will be supporting yourself.
What is supported by MS is to install regular server (standard or enterprise/data center) in hyperV mode and install essentials as a guest VM, as well as another VM.

Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2 Running Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone

I am a lone wolf developer running Hyper-V on a legally-licensed Server running Windows Enterprise 2008R2. I have extremely limited research funding.
Since I need to evaluate Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone development for the 1080p Phone Emulator, I created a Virtual Machine of Windows 8.1 Evaluation Copy RTM on my server. I am trying to create software for the Nokia Lumia 1520 Phone-Tablet.
Everything in the Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine runs perfectly from Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2, except for one problem related to my Phone development project. Networking is perfect, the display is perfect, there are no other issues except this "gotcha".
The problem appears with the Windows Phone SDK Update 4, which supports a 1080p
Windows Phone Emulator. This emulator is supposed to load it's own instance of a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V virtual machine
when debugging the Phone Application from Visual Studio 2012 Express.
This Emulator tries to start it's own Hyper-V session inside Windows 8.1. In my humble opinion, it should be possible to do this (load a Windows 8.1 HyperV Virtual Machine inside a "parent" Virtual Machine).
It presents this error message instead:
Essentially, Windows 8.1, running in a Virtual Machine, should also be able to create a Virtual Machine inside it's own Virtual Machine. That is the required design of the Phone Emulator (must be able to intantiate a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V Virtual machine to display
the Phone).
If that does not work, then I guess it must not be a supported configuration. If not, then I need to licence Windows 8.1 on a separate physical computer. Anyone want to tackle this?
+__+

I have a legal, licensed Windows 2008 R2 Server with the Hyper-V Role. I then downloaded the time-limited
Windows 8.1 RTM Evaluation Version and successfully installed. It works flawlessly. Next, I installed the
Windows Phone SDK Update 4 on top of
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.
It all works flawlessly, except for one little problem.
Since I am interested in evaluating and testing the Windows Phone SDK 1080p Emulator, I must run
F5 - Start Debugging in Visual Studio in order to see my Windows Phone application in 1080p resolution. Well, the Emulator
almost completely starts up successfully, but at the last push it gives an error. This error is shown below as a JPEG.
Does anyone know which of the "Hyper-V components is not running?"

How to run hyper-v on windows 8?

I'm trying to run Hyper-V on windows 8.
I enabled it from Windows Features, then it required me to reboot the PC.
When Windows rebooted it hung on the loading screen so I had to restart it.
It then shows automatic repair and I have to use a Restore Point to make Windows work again.
Note: virtualization is enabled in the BIOS and Im using HP ProBook 4540s, 8 GB RAM.

Hi,
As mentioned in the link posted by Steve, you can check the setting of Data Execution Prevention.
And according to the following blog, some hardware features that Hyper-V does not utilize and enabling them will prevent Hyper-V from loading. (If your BIOS doesn't have this hardware feature, then igonre this part)
(Hyper-V : What to
Disable in the BIOS)

How to specify only possible owner of the VM in Hyper-v cluster (Windows 2012R2)

Good day,
We want to prevent the migration of
virtual machines between the cluster nodes in indows 2012R2 Hyper-V cluster.
How to specify only possible owner of the VM in Hyper-v cluster (Windows 2012R2) ?
SQL clustering

Hi Al_leont,
I ask if your using FOCM or SCVMM as you configure possible owners in different places. As well as possible owners you can also configure preferred owners, affinity and anti affinity groups and placement rules.
To configure possible owner in FOCM you select the VM you want to configure, then in the bottom window select the resources tab (change from summary tab). Right click the Virtual Machine Resource, then select the Advance Polices tab of
the popup window. You should then see the hyper-V nodes as Possible owners.
In SCVMM you just right click on the VM and select properties, then settings form the popup window.
Preferred owners, affinity and anti affinity groups, placement rules are configured in other locations or by PowerShell.
Kind Regards
