Prerequisites
Before you attempt to install Hyper-V, make
sure that you have the following:
- A user account with administrator permissions for the
computer.
- Enough memory to run all the virtual machines that you
plan to run at the same time.
- Software for the virtual machine. For example, to test
a particular workload, you will need installation media for the operating
system and the workload. If you want to test certain features of Windows
Server 2012, you can use the same installation media in the virtual
machine that you used to install Windows Server 2012 on the physical
computer.
Step 1: Install Hyper-V
Install Hyper-V so you
can create and run virtual machines on this computer. Select one of the installation
methods:
- To add the
Hyper-V role in Windows Server
- To enable Client Hyper-V
- To install the
Hyper-V role using the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet on Windows Server
- To install Client
Hyper-V using the Get-WindowsOptionalFeature cmdlet
To add the Hyper-V role in Windows Server
- In Server Manager, on the Manage menu, click Add Roles and Features.
- On the Before you begin page, verify that your
destination server and network environment are prepared for the role and
feature you want to install. Click Next.
- On the Select installation type page, select Role-based
or feature-based installation and then click Next.
- On the Select destination server page, select a server from the
server pool and then click Next.
- On the Select server roles page, select Hyper-V.
- To add the tools that you use to create and manage
virtual machines, click Add Features. On the Features page, click Next.
- On the Create Virtual Switches page, Virtual Machine
Migration page,
and Default
Stores page,
select the appropriate options.
- On the Confirm installation selections page, select Restart
the destination server automatically if required, and then click Install.
- When installation is finished, verify the installation
by opening the All
Servers page
in Server Manager, selecting a server on which you installed Hyper-V, and
viewing the Roles
and Features tile
on the page for the selected server.
To enable Client Hyper-V
Warning
|
Because Hyper-V is an optional feature, the
files required for installation may or may not be present on your computer,
depending on your organization’s IT policy. If you are connected to the
Internet, enabling the feature will automatically download the required
files. If you are not connected to the Internet, you can download the
required files and manually copy them to your computer, or otherwise provide
the installation media.
When the Hyper-V
role is enabled on a computer running Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 that uses the
Always On/Always Connected (AOAC) power model, the Connected Standby power
state is not available. For additional information see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2973536.
|
- In the Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Programs
and Features.
- Click Turn Windows features on
or off.
- Click Hyper-V, click OK, and then click Close.
To install the Hyper-V role using the
Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet on Windows Server
Warning
|
In Windows PowerShell, unlike in the Add Roles and Features
Wizard, management tools and snap-ins for a role are not included by default.
To include management tools as part of a role installation, add the -IncludeManagementTools parameter to
the cmdlet. If you are installing roles and features on a server that is
running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2012, and you
add a role’s management tools to an installation, you are prompted to change
the installation option to a minimal-shell option that allows the management
tools to run. Otherwise, management tools and snap-ins cannot be installed on
servers that are running the Server Core installation option of
Windows Server.
|
- Do one of the following to open a Windows PowerShell
session with elevated user rights.
- On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows
PowerShell on
the taskbar, and then click Run as Administrator.
- On the Windows Start page, type any part of the
name Windows
PowerShell.
Right-click the shortcut for Windows PowerShell when it is displayed on
theStart page in the Apps results, click Advanced, and then click Run
as Administrator.
To pin the Windows PowerShell shortcut to the Start page, right-click the
shortcut, and then click Pin to Start.
- Type the following, and then press Enter, where computer_name represents a remote computer on
which you want to install Hyper-V. To install Hyper-V directly from a
console session, do not include -ComputerName
<computer_name> in
the command.
3. Install-WindowsFeature –Name Hyper-V
-ComputerName <computer_name> -IncludeManagementTools -Restart
- To view a list of available and installed roles and
features on the local server, type Get-WindowsFeature and then press Enter. The results of the cmdlet
contain the command names of roles and features that have been added to
this computer.
Note
|
In Windows PowerShell 3.0, there is no need to import the
Server Manager cmdlet module into the Windows PowerShell session before
running cmdlets that are part of the module. A module is automatically
imported the first time you run a cmdlet that is part of the module. Also,
Windows PowerShell cmdlets are not case-sensitive.
|
- When the installation is finished,
verify installation by running the Get-WindowsFeature. If you installed Hyper-V
remotely, include the ComputerName parameter (Get-WindowsFeature
-ComputerName <computer_name>) to view a list of roles
and features that are installed on the server.
To install Client Hyper-V using the
Get-WindowsOptionalFeature cmdlet
- Do one of the following to open a Windows PowerShell
session with elevated user rights.
- On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows
PowerShell on
the taskbar, and then click Run as Administrator.
- On the Windows Start page, type any part of the
name Windows
PowerShell.
Right-click the shortcut for Windows PowerShell when it is displayed on
theStart page in the Apps results, click Advanced, and then click Run
as Administrator.
To pin the Windows PowerShell shortcut to the Start page, right-click the
shortcut, and then click Pin to Start.
- Type the following, and then press Enter.
3. enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online
-FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All
- When the installation is finished, reboot the computer.
Step 2: Create a virtual machine
Before beginning, review the following
considerations. These are not required, but can help you make the most
appropriate choices. Consider:
- What to name the virtual machine. The name provides you
with a way to identify the virtual machine. For example, you might use a
name that identifies the type of server you want to configure on this
virtual machine, such as a web server. Or, you might use a name that
identifies the guest operating system.
- What kind of network connections with the virtual
machine need? Will the virtual machine need access to the internet? For
more information, see Create a virtual switch.
- How you will install the operating system. You can
install from a physical media or an image (.iso) file. You also can use a
virtual hard disk on which an operating system has already been installed.
To create a virtual machine
- Open Hyper-V Manager.
- From the navigation pane of Hyper-V Manager, select the
computer running Hyper-V.
- From the Actions pane, click New and then click Virtual
Machine.
- The New Virtual Machine wizard opens. Click Next.
- On the Specify Name and Location page, type an appropriate name.
- On the Assign Memory page, specify enough memory to
start the guest operating system.
- On the Configure Networking page, connect the virtual
machine to the switch you created when you installed Hyper-V.
- On the Connect Virtual Hard Disk and Installation Options pages, choose the option that
is appropriate for how you plan to install the guest operating system:
- If you will install the guest operating system from a
DVD or an image file (an .ISO file), choose Create a virtual hard
disk. Click Next, and then click the option
that describes the type of media you will use. For example, to use an
.iso file, click Install an operating system from a boot
CD/DVD and
then specify the path to the .iso file.
- If the guest operating system is already installed in
a virtual hard disk, choose Use an existing virtual hard disk and click Next. Then, choose Install
an operating system later.
- Windows
PowerShell equivalent commands
The following Windows PowerShell cmdlet or
cmdlets perform the same function as the preceding procedure. Enter each cmdlet
on a single line, even though they may appear word-wrapped across several lines
here because of formatting constraints.
Step 3: Install the guest operating system
This step assumes that
you configured the boot media for the virtual machine when you created the
virtual machine.
Note
|
This step must be completed through the GUI.
It cannot be automated or performed within a Windows PowerShell session.
|
To install the guest operating system
- From Hyper-V Manager, in the Virtual
Machines section
of the results pane, right-click the name of the virtual machine and click Connect.
- The Virtual Machine Connection
tool opens.
- From the Action menu in the Virtual Machine
Connection window, click Start.
- The virtual machine starts,
searches the startup devices, and loads the installation package.
- Proceed through the
installation.
Step 4: Install or upgrade integration services
Hyper-V includes a
software package for supported guest operating systems that improves
integration between the physical computer and the virtual machine. This package
is referred to as integration services. For more information, see Integration Services.
Note
|
This step must be completed through the GUI.
It cannot be automated or performed within a Windows PowerShell session.
|
To install or upgrade integration services
- Open Hyper-V Manager. From the Server Manager Tools
menu, click Hyper-V
Manager.
- Connect to the virtual machine. From the Virtual
Machines section of the results pane, using one of the following methods:
- Right-click the name of the virtual machine and click Connect.
- Select the name of the virtual machine. In the Action pane, click Connect.
- The Virtual Machine Connection tool opens. From the
Action menu of Virtual Machine Connection, click Insert Integration
Services Setup Disk.
This action loads the setup disk in the virtual DVD drive.
- Depending on the operating system being installed, you
may need to start the installation manually. Click anywhere in the guest
operating system window and navigate to the CD drive. Use the method that
is appropriate for the guest operating system to start the installation
package from the CD drive.
- After the installation finishes, all integration services
are available for use.
