5.6 Hyper-V Support

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 (

http://www.microsoft.com/hyper-v-server/en/us/default.aspx

) instead of

a normal Windows Server with the server role Hyper-V.

The supported guest operating systems are Windows Server 2003 and later.

Required Resources

To estimate the required resources required by the virtual machines, measuring the performance data of a

real system can prove valuable. Please refer to the following chapters

Resources Estimation for Existing Customers

Resources Estimation for New Customers

The TCDiskTest tool can be used to test access to the hard disk. For more information, refer to chapter

Using TcDiskTest Tool.

Managing Hyper-V

Hyper-V can be configured via the Hyper-V Manager (a Microsoft management console snap-in, part of

administrative tools).
