Is Vista x64 supported as a hyper-v guest yet?

[Guest Gary J. DIkkema]

Thought I saw some new software drops the past week; perhaps it was only for

allowing Vista X64 to manage Hyper-V.

 

Anyone?

 

Thanks!

No, it isn't a supported guest yet. (It works, just no Integration

Components, so you need to choose a Legacy NIC.)

 

It does work as a management machine.

Thanks Charlie... done that! However without integration, the box is SLOW as

molasses. Unlike the supported x86 box which is fleet and nimble...

 

Thanks.

Re: Is Vista x64 supported as a hyper-v guest yet?

 

I didn't find it all that bad. Throw an extra proc at it, and give it some

more RAM. Not sure what you had it set for, but on my VM with 2 procs and 2

GB of RAM, it runs decent. I admit, I'm not using it for any sort of

production work, it's just a test box, so I really wouldn't notice if it is

a bit slow.

Had it with 1 Gig and 1 proc Charlie...

 

The test bed has 8 GB of ram so I could try it with double.

 

Thanks!

Re: Is Vista x64 supported as a hyper-v guest yet?

 

Charlie,

 

Had planned to run Core but couldn't find the nice stuff, like how to set up

the virtual guests... in the end I figured WTF, I'm a Windows kind of guy.

After a day of this I thought I needed a life... without the stress. <VBG>

 

If however, you happen to stroll across some info that I could use, please

do pass it along.

 

Thanks again!

Re: Is Vista x64 supported as a hyper-v guest yet?

 

I have a whole series of scripts that set up a Core machine. They're

included in my Server 2008 Administrator's Companion book, from MS Press.

They do the full setup of a core machine to be a remote office RODC with

DNS, DHCP, etc, and set up remote administration. With comments so you can

see what you need and what you don't.

 

All configuration of Hyper-V itself, on Core, is done from the remote

Hyper-V Manager running on another machine. (I run it from Vista 64 on my

main workstation. )

1 GB is starving for a Vista machine, and on a VM where it's running without

ICs, it's going to be pretty slow.

Re: Is Vista x64 supported as a hyper-v guest yet?

 

So for comparison...

 

I have x64 and x86 Vista boxes running under Hyper-V...

 

x86 footprint ~ 350 K, x64 is double

 

x86 has IC and is quick and nimble even with 1 GB memory and 1 processor.

x64 has no IC and is slow with 2 GB of memory and TWO processors...

 

What does that tell you?

 

Where the heck is Microsoft's support for x64?

 

Regards.

Of course you can. Any time we're in the same part of the world, bring it
