Thu, 07 Aug 2008 09:38:06 GMT

Hyper-V WMI APIs. Hyper-V uses WMI APIs (similar to the Virtual Server COM API) to create, manage, monitor, configure virtual resources. We expect the Hyper-V WMI APIs to be used widely in a variety of ways such as:

Hyper-V Monitor Gadget for Windows Sidebar

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:09:46 GMT

I've created a sidebar gadget so I can see what the Hyper-V server is doing from my workstation. The gadget can list multiple servers at once and also support vmconnect when double clicking on a VM. PS: The gadget uses WMI to connect to the server so the user need remote WMI access (Step 5) on the Hyper-V server.

Will Cloud Computing Rain on Microsoft?

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:53:12 GMT

Virtualization and cloud computing are both disruptions that threaten core Microsoft strengths. Could Hyper-V be a mere attempt to cannibalize virtualization as a way to slow its progress?

The features and pricing of Hyper-V may be less important to Microsoft than how VMware executes on its invasion of the data center.

Developing with Windows Server 2008 VMWare Virtual Machines

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:44:43 GMT

For awhile now I have been enjoying the freedom of developing with virtual machines. The biggest advantage it has given me is the freedom to run any host operating system I want (Windows, Linux or Mac). This article describes how to setup Windows Server 2008 for development using VMWare and includes lots of tips no matter which host OS you run.

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC0 and Athlon 64 X2 4200+

Wed, 14 May 2008 01:22:12 GMT

I used virtualization through VirtualPC 2007 on this computer, an Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with a Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 motherboard, and it worked perfectly. The Athlon 64 X2 even support Hardware-Assisted Virtualization, so things actually run pretty smooth. Now I've upgraded to Windows Server 2008 so I can run virtual machines with the new Hyper-V (RC0), but when I try to start any virtual machine it gives me an error saying "The virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running." What?? I just installed it. Did I miss configuring something?

Virtualization on the Desktop: VirtualPC 2007 and Hyper-V

Sun, 04 May 2008 08:39:31 GMT

About a year ago I started to use VirtualPC 2007 on my Vista x64 box to allow me to run other instances of OS's within isolation without requiring me to purchase anymore hardware for my desk. It's actually rather simple to do and makes it extremely easy to roll back any of your systems to a previous state in case they get screwed up by installing beta software or for any other reason. The latest from Microsoft is Hyper-V for Windows Server 2008. I'm still reading up on exactly what Hyper-V is, and what it's benefit are over Virtual Server 2005 and VirtualPC 2007.
