I started looking into Hyper-V, and learned something quick. I installed Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V on a server. Then, I used a Windows 7 client to access the host via the Hyper-V Manager. I created a virtual machine and installed an operating system, but found that I had no network connection. I had to configure the host network interfaces via the Hyper-V Manager Virtual Network Manager. Once I did this, I was able to adjust the network interface on my virtual machine to use the newly configured interface.<\/p>\n

Installing RHEL6 on a Hyper-V server presented some new challenges as well. I was able to install the OS easily enough. The problem came when I actually tried to use it. There was no virtual network interface card driver loaded. I had to download and install the Linux Integration Services<\/a> software from Microsoft. It is a 2.2MB ISO image, so you can either put it on CD\/DVD, mount it from a flash drive or use it as your virtual CD drive (which I did). <\/p>\n

From the RHEL6 VM:
\n# cd \/media # If \/media is the mount point you used.
\n# .\/install.sh
\n# shutdown -r now<\/p>\n

Now, in my case, I did a minimum install, so maybe it is different when you do a basic install, but I had to manually create the ifcfg-eth0 and network files. For now, I just wanted to get on the network, so I used a DHCP client configuration.<\/p>\n

# vi \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eth0
\nDEVICE=eth0
\nBOOTPROTO=dhcp
\nONBOOT=yes<\/p>\n

# vi \/etc\/sysconfig\/network
\nGATEWAY=192.168.0.1<\/p>\n

# service network restart
\nor
\n# shutdown -r now
\nor
\n# ifup eth0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
