Hyper-V and Linux guests

Duncan Epping · Mar 21, 2008 ·

I was just pointed out to a blog about Hyper-V and linux guest compatibility.

Wednesday, Microsoft said Hyper-V beta for Windows Server 2008 is feature complete. Included in the list of operating systems supported are Windows Server 2003 SP2, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1, Windows Vista SP1 (x86), and Windows XP SP3 (x86). See John Fontana’s article for more details about the Hyper-V RC announcement.

Though I’m anxious for Hyper-V to be released, especially the standalone version (which is not what this RC announcement was about), I’m very disappointed in Hyper-V’s lack of support for Linux.

No offense to SUSE Enterprise Server crowd, but only providing SUSE support in Hyper-V is a huge mistake. By not supporting Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and BSD, Microsoft is telling us Hyper-V is a Microsoft only technology. More Mt. Redmond, Microsoft center of the universe thinking. That’s disappointing.

What the hell, no support for Red Hat? After checking the “live migration” video that was posted recently this is another punch in the face of MS and in the end also Novell. They can try to defend MS/Hyper-V but these articles don’t make things better, they should have bought Xensource when they had the chance.

Lefthand’s Virtual San Appliance

Duncan Epping · Mar 14, 2008 ·

At the VMworld I had the opportunity to talk with the Lefthand guys about their products. I hardly see these products in the Netherlands but read some great reviews about their products. One of their products that really caught my attention was and is their Virtual San Appliance or VSA in short. I received a demo copy at VMworld and have been playing with it for a couple of days now.

VMReference Card 1.1!

Duncan Epping · Mar 9, 2008 ·

Forbes just uploaded a brand new version of the VMReference Card. Download it, print it and keep it close!

Here is version 1.1 in all its shining glory.

I’ve made several corrections (thanks everyone), added a few extra snippets and dusted it with a sprinkling of handy tips and tricks.

The biggest change is a small 3i section. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but I haven’t had a chance to play with it since its beta. There is quite lot of information around about 3i now, but I just wanted to add the sort of stuff people would actual use.
