Powershell 3.0 practice (2) Managing hyper-V 3.0 (1)

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.
