WIN2008 Virtualization-Hyper-V quick Settings

In the previous article, describes how to install and enable the Hyper-V feature (click) on a computer that has 64-bit Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition installed, this article briefly describes its basic settings. First, right click on the computer name, pop-up shortcut menu, as shown in Figure 1, including the "Hyper-V Settings", "Virtual Network Manager" and other commands, first select the Hyper-V settings command.

In the Hyper-V Settings dialog box, you can set the default virtual hard disk, save path to the virtual machine, set a hotkey, and so on, as described below.

(1) In the virtual hard disk option, you can set the default save location for the virtual hard disk of the Hyper-V virtual machine, as shown in Figure 2, in this case, select the C:\virtual machines folder.

(2) in the "Virtual machines" option, set the default save location when creating a virtual machine, as shown in Figure 3, in this case, still select the "C:\virtual Machines" folder.

"description" in Microsoft's Hyper-V, the virtual machine profile, virtual hard disk image files, are still saved in different folders (you can set them in the same folder), but in this way, all virtual machines, virtual hard disk image files that are created by the Hyper-V default, will be saved in the same (or two) folder. When the number of virtual machines is relatively large, it is not easy to distinguish between virtual hard disk image and virtual machine ownership. From this point of view, the Hyper-V virtual machine is far inferior to VMware series virtual machines, VMware Series virtual machines, are the different virtual machines in different folders, so it is easy for beginners to complete the virtual machine migration and deletion work. Of course, in Hyper-V virtual machines, when you create a virtual machine, you can manually set a different path to save each virtual machine in a different folder, but this operation seems to be more cumbersome.

(3) In the keyboard option, set how you want to use the Windows key combination when you run a virtual machine connection, which by default is "used in a virtual machine when the virtual machine is full screen running, as shown in Figure 4."

(4) in the "Mouse release key" option, set when the virtual machine driver is not running (formerly known as a virtual machine add-on), how to switch the mouse from the virtual machine to the host, default to the Ctrl+alt+← key, can be selected in the Release key Drop-down list, as shown in Figure 5.
