-- Ben Armstrong, Virtualization Program Manager
Talking about core virtualization at Microsoft (Hyper-V, Virtual PC and Virtual Server).
With Hyper-V the world of networking is quite different than it was with Virtual Server. First to set the scene, with Windows Server 2008 installed on a system with one network adapter you will see this under Network Connections:
And your system is operating like this:
Once you install Hyper-V and create a virtual network your system now operates like this:
As you can see the parent partition (host operating system in Virtual Server lingo) is now using a virtual network adapter to connect to the physical network. If you look at network connections on the parent you will now see the original network adapter and a new virtual network adapter:
The original physical network adapter now has nothing bound to it except the Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol. The virtual network adapter now has all of the standard protocols and services bound to it instead.
Some interesting things to note here:
Cheers, Ben
Ben, shots 2 & 3 look the same to me. Did I miss something?
I think image 2 & 3 are the same? is this right?
I have an issue that I'd be delighted to see you cover in the near future or throw some help at..
I'm trying use a virtual machine as a web server. Now the only way I'v emanaged to get my VM's to connect to the internet is follow these directions (http://blogs.sqlxml.org/bryantlikes/archive/2008/01/09/setting-up-hyper-v-virtual-networking.aspx).
All well and good, but neither my router or other physical machines on my network know how to get to the 192.168.0.x stack.
How can I create a VM that is exposed and accessible to the internet (web server, remote desktop) and other machines in my physical network?
There appears to be an odd bug wrt to networking in the current beta (it will be in Connect when I have the chance)... when creating a new VM you must have something, not sure what yet (TCP/IP?) bound to the real physical NIC for the new installation wizard to offer the card as a NIC for making a new network. If you unbind everything it's not in the list... but afterwards, if you unbind and make a new network in the management console, you can do it.
That got it, was able to create the external network fine after unbinding.
Much appreciated!
I have the same 192 issue; what do you mean by unbind? In the VM's network setup or in the Hyper-V setup of the VM? Or in the host's Network setup? Or somewhere else?
Daniel -
the unbinding is done on the host computer's physical network connection.
On the properties dialog for the network connection there's a section in the middle 'This connection uses the following items' (Client for Microsoft Networks, TCP/IP, etc).
In there you want to uncheck all the items and click OK.
If you now go back into the Hyper-V network settings on the host computer, you can create an external network bound to the network adapter WITHOUT getting the 'this adapater is already bound' error. Once it creates the new network adapter, change the settings of your virtual machine to use the new external adapter and go back into the propterties of your host computer and re-tick all the boxes as they were before.
You should then be good to go.
Ugh. I'm sure there are good reason for this, but people experienced with VS2005 are going to be very very very very confused by this and probably assume it is an error!
mr plase help me
img8.img98.com/.../i68333_Untitled.jpg
im buy 18 IP and ADD to LAN SERVER
im make VPS windows or lliux
im send INFO server for you plase see
give me email address ?
i have not MAC for ech ip so IPs add to switch
{Also, make sure that there is no MAC address limiting configured on the physical switch that the Hyper-V host External Virtual Network is patched to.} it job ok by datacenter
i see winvideo-ITPro-NAThyperV.avi and do job step to step for crate NAT but also ping 4.2.2.4 time out to VDS
i m wait fo answer u
thanks
I have been looking for a good post that explains Hyper-V and how to use NAT with it.
I have 5 virtual machines in Hyper-V that I want to NAT with private addresses like (192.168.1.X)
So far I have been able to get NAT to give out addresses but the internet does not work.
I am not sure if you ever have time to touch on this subject.
Hi Ben,
Is there any new feature expected in new release of Hyper-V like Private vLAN concept in virtual Switch. If this feature will introduced in Virtual switch then Tenate isolation is possible.
Thanks
Regards
