We often install Windows operating systems in Hyper-V of Windows Server 2008. In fact, Hyper-V can also install Linux systems.
Currently, the following operating systems are officially supported:
L SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 3 (x86 Edition or x64 Edition)
L SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86 Edition or x64 Edition)
L Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 (x86 Edition or x64 Edition)
In addition, the relevant Linux installation programs on Hyper-V are officially provided, as follows:
Linux Integration Services v2.1 for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V R2-Chinese (simplified) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/zh-cn/details.aspx? FamilyID = eee39325-898b-4522-9b4c-f4b5b9b64551
After this attachment is installed, the following services can be provided for Linux virtual machines: synchronization device drivers, enhanced performance, time synchronization, integrated shutdown, multi-CPU support, heartbeat, and instant time sources.
This article first introduces how to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 on Hyper-V.
Let's start the experiment.
1. Use the Hyper-v vm creation Wizard to create a new VM.
2. Then, in the virtual machine setting, delete the new Nic and add the old Nic.
3. Insert the installation disc of SUSE 11 to start the VM. Then, use F2 to set the language to Chinese, use F3 to set the video mode to 1024*768, and then select install. In this case, the mouse cannot be used, and all operations must be performed on the keyboard (Tab + space + press Enter ).
4. Agree to the license agreement and proceed to the next step.
5. Select "new installation" and click Next.
6. Set the time zone
7. Select GNOME Desktop
8. Partition the disk
9. Enter the user name and password
10. view the Installation Summary and start installation.
11. online updates are not required after installation.
12. The above steps have already been installed on Hyper-V in SUSE. I believe that the above steps are not unfamiliar to everyone. However, the current SUSE does not have the corresponding driver and Linux add-on installed, and the mouse cannot be used normally. Next, we will install the Linux add-on, which is the most important part in the entire article.
13. Install the C ++ compiler and Kernel Source before installing the plug-in. Press Alt + F1, open the Start menu, and find the installer.
14. Search for kernel source in the search box, find the kernel source file, and select
15. Find gcc-c ++ and install it.
16. First install Linux Integration Services and insert the Linux Integration Services CD image (if the CD is locked, disable the VM and insert it) into the VM. Use the Root user to log on to the terminal and enter the following command
Mkdir/mnt/cdrom
Mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom
Mkdir/tmp/linux_ic_v21_rtm
Cp-R/mnt/cdrom/*/tmp/linux_ic_v21_rtm
Cd/tmp/linux_ic_v21_rtm/
Make
Make install
Reboot
17. Run the/sbin/modinfo vmbus command to verify that Hyper-V is installed successfully.
After completing the preceding steps, complete the steps for installing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 on the Hyper-V virtual platform. The most important part of the entire process is to install the Hyper-V driver integration plug-in. This process is exactly the same as the installation steps in Windows virtual machines. The installation process is cumbersome despite the download of related integrated Plug-In discs on Microsoft's official website. If you can integrate the relevant Hyper-V virtualization platform driver on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation CD, it will be more perfect. In the next article, I will introduce how to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the Hyper-V virtualization platform.
