This section explains how to install a virtual hard disk (VHD) in a Hyper-V
environment.
Copy the VHD file onto a Hyper-V server. By default, Hyper-V puts the VHD file into
the following
directory:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard disks
Note: You need to be running a client Hyper-V before you
start this installation.
-
Start the Hyper-V Manager Console, and then connect to the Hyper-V
server.
-
In the Actions pane click New, and then select Virtual
Machine.
-
Click Next.
-
In the Name field, type a name for your virtual machine.
In the Location field, specify the location where the
virtual machine will be stored and then click Next.
-
In the Memory field, set the amount of RAM that you want
to allocate to the VM. Click Next.
Memory settings are dictated by your
respective Address Manager and DNS/DHCP Server
license(s).
-
From the Connection drop-down menu, select the network
that you want to use for your virtual machine and then click
Next.
Note:
- You should have at least one network to map to the
management interface (eth0).
- If you want to use a multi-interface DNS/DHCP Server you must configure additional
network adapters from your hypervisor network settings
after deployment is complete.
-
Select Use an existing virtual hard disk and specify the
location of the VHD that you have downloaded. Click Next.
-
In the Description field, verify the information that
you have specified. Click Finish to create the virtual
machine and close the wizard.
This completes the steps to set up your virtual machine in your Hyper-V
environment.
