I have been using server systems for development and recently changed Windows 8 to Windows Server 8, focusing on testing new enterprise-level features.
Test script download
All scripts in this series pass the Windows Server 8 (powershell ise x64) test.
Windows Server 8 also retains the metro interface:
Compared with Windows Server 2008 R2, the appearance of the Server Manager dashboard changes significantly:
I. Ten New Features of Windows Server :(Original ENGLISH)
1.1 multi-server management
1.2 zero-resistance server deployment
1.3 IP Address Management
1.4. Dynamic Access Control
1.5 large hyper-V Clusters
1.6 flexible dynamic migration
1.7. Advanced Virtual Network
1.8 hyper-V Replication
1.9 server data in the form of server information blocks
1.10. Enhanced virtual desktop Architecture
Ii. Ten New Features of hyper-V 3.0 (Original ENGLISH)
2.1. vhdx Virtual Disk format
2.2. Virtual Fiber Channel Adapter
2.3. Storage and network resource pool
2.4. supports more than 4 virtual CPUs
2.5. Hardware acceleration
2.6. bandwidth management
2.7 DHCP wizard
2.8 routing wizard
2.9 port monitoring
2.10. vswitch Extension
Iii. Use powershell 3.0 to manage hyper-V 3.0
Powershell ISE is an integrated powershell development environment integrated into Windows server. in Windows Server 8, powershell ise finally began to support smart sensing:
Although it is not as good as the powergui Script Editor, it is already quite good and supports plug-ins. Currently, there are not many plug-ins.Teachnet.
Powergui Script Editor currently does not support powershell 3.0, so powershell ISE is used for development.
A very practical function of the new powershell ise version is to view and search modules and commands:
The following uses the hyper-V module. You can see many commands:
The vhd Virtual Disk format has already appeared as early as the virtualpc era. It is the standard format of Microsoft virtual storage. In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, it can be started directly from the vhd virtual disk, however, the maximum capacity is 2 TB.
By hyper-V 3.0, the capacity limit has been increased to 16 TB and updated to the vhdx disk format.
3.1 create a virtual disk
New-vhd
-Path
"F: \ work \ TMP \ hyper-V \ test. vhdx"
-Vhdtype
Dynamic
-Vhdformat
Vhdx
-Sizebytes
1024 MB
As shown in, a virtual disk in vhdx format is created in the F: \ work \ TMP \ hyper-V directory, with the capacity of 1 GB and Dynamic Scaling.
In Windows Server 8, you can directly mount the vhdx Virtual Disk format:
You can initialize it in the Disk Manager:
Generally, the MBR partition table can be viewed in the resource manager after being formatted as NTFS, which is no different from the physical hard disk:
3.2 view existing virtual machines
Get-VM
-Name
"Winserver2003r2"
Script running result:
3.3 view hyper-V Server Information
Get-vmhost
3.4 create a virtual machine
New-VM
-Name
"Winserver2008r2"
-Memorystartupbytes
2 GB
-Bootdevice
"CDROM"
-Newvhdpath
"F: \ backup \ developer \ virtualization alization \ virtual machines \ hyper-V \ virtual hard disks \ winserver2008r2. vhdx"
-Newvhdsize(2048
*
1000
*
10)-Switchname
"Hyper-V Switch"
3.5 start and shut down virtual machines
Start-VM
-Name
"Winserver2008r2"
Stop-VM
-Name
"Winserver2008r2"
-Force
3.6 Delete virtual machines
Remove-VM
-Name
"Winserver2008r2"
-Force
Note that deleting a virtual machine does not delete the virtual disk.
Summary:
this time, we started testing the enterprise-level features of Windows Server 8 and pushing the next-generation Windows server to be released. Powershell 3.0 plays a core role and can complete almost all management operations. The subsequent chapters will continue to test the unique features of Windows Server 8.
