In the example above, one lo gical processor (2 GHz) is assigned to the virtual machine. The “Virtual
machine reserve (percentage):” is set to 30 percent. Effectively, this machine has one processor (2 GHz)
and 615 MHz are reserved for this virtual machine. The virtual machine was assigned 512 MB RAM.
Supported KCS Components
All KCS components supported on VMware are also supported on Hyper-V. For more information, see KCS
Components Supported on Virtual Environment.
Similar restrictions and hints like for VMware apply also for Hyper-V. See chapters Restrictions and Hints.
The KCS core, i.e. TCOSS, must be installed on a dedicated virtual machine.
All other KCS applications connecting to the TCOSS must run on other virtual machines than TCOSS. It is
recommended to connect their VNICs (virtual network adapters) to the same network adapter as the VM of
TCOSS.
Tests and Performance Observations
Hyper-V was tested on an Intel XEON E5405@2GHz (Quad Core) computer with 7 GB memory.
The virtual machine was assigned one logical processor (2 GHz). The virtual machine reserve was not
configured; however, not much else was happening on the host computer. The virtual machine was
assigned 2048 MB memory. The host operating system was Windows Server 2008 R2; the guest operating
system was Windows Server 2008 R2 as well.
