LAB
1. Turn off PC -> insert in the server cd and removable drive and start PC
• While booting - Press F12 when prompted to go to the Windows images
• Choose the Windows server 2012 R2 x64 Hypercore image
• Delete all the Disk 0 partitions (NOT Disk 1) and create a new partition on Disk 0 – this is where you will install your server
• Follow the installation wizard
2. Configure the Intel Network adapter
• On your server's blue screen: press '8' for Network adapter settings and make sure the network adapter has been successfully detected. What is the IP address of your server at this stage?
_____________________________________
3. Set a static address on the server
• It is good practice to give your server a static IP address.
• From the main menu of the blue screen on your server - Press '8' for Network adapter settings-> enter the instance number of your adapter -> press '1' -> enter 's' for static -> for setting up the static ip address
• Use the following settings: IP: 10.150.3.x, SNM: 255.255.240.0, GW: 10.150.1.1
• Press 2 to enter the DNS server and use: 10.150.1.100 (alternate DNS server 10.150.1.11)
• Is the Static IP address for your server set correctly? Y/N
4. Add the core server to the Rexnet domain
• From the server's main menu (blue screen) – press '1' for the Domain/Workgroup
• -> press 'd' for domain
• -> enter domain name: 'rexnet' -> enter username: 'rexnet\admin'
• -> password: router
• -> 'y' to change the name of your server-> enter a unique servername e.g. DILEEPHYPERVCORE
• -> restart
• Is the Server part of the Rexnet domain? Y/N
5. Add a local administrator to your server
• From the main menu of the blue screen on your server – press '3' to add a local administrator
• User: rexnet\admin
6. Enable remote desktop
• From the server's main menu (blue screen) on your server – press '7'
• -> type 'e' for enable
• -> type '2' for any client for remote desktop
• Go to the windows client and start-> remote desktop
o use the IP address of your server
o username: rexnet\admin
o password: router)
• Can your remote desktop from your client PC to Your server PC? Y/N
7. Disable Firewall on the server
• From the other windows client try and pin the IP address of your server – you may find it cannot ping
• On the command prompt of your server user the following command to disable the firewall: netsh firewall set opmode disable
(Alternative: netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off)
• You should now be able to ping the server from your client Y/N
8. Install Hyper v tools on your windows client
• Log into your windows client on the rexnet domain as the user: admin (pw: router). You may need to switch user if it is already logged in as another user
• Double click on the file and follow the wizard to install it onto your pc
• Control panel -> programs and features -> turn windows features on/off
• -> Expand 'HyperV'
• -> Check the boxes and sub-options for Hyper-v management tools and Hyper-V platform
• Click 'ok' to enable the new hyper v tools features
• Once it is enabled -> start -> administration tools -> Hyper-V manager
• Connect to server (right hand panel)
• ->click on 'another computer' and enter the hostname of your core server
(you could try the ip address of the server instead of the hostname but it may result in an RPC service error)
• -press 'ok' to connect
• Server connected? Y/N
• Notes
o if it is displaying a message saying that access denied, then make sure your client is logged in as admin user and right click on the core server icon in Hyper-V manager and refresh
o If it has an RPC service error message - make sure the firewall has been disabled on both the client and server and that you are connecting to your server using Hyper-v Manager with the hostname (not the IP address)
9. Create a virtual switch on the core server from the windows client
• On your client: start Hyper V Manager-> right click your core server name -> select 'Virtual Switch Manager'
• New virtual network -> External -> add
• Name your virtual switch e.g. DileepVirtualSwitch and select the Intel network adapter on your core server e.g. Intel 82578DC Gigabit Ethernet adapter (make sure the check box that says 'allow management operating system…." is checked
• -> 'ok'
• -> 'yes'
10. Create VM on the core server from the windows client
• Copy the Ubuntu iso file (ITSW1\public\itb7345\ virtualisation folder) on to your USB drive and plug the usb drive into your core server
• On your client: -> Hyper-V manager -> right click on your server name -> new -> virtual machine -> next
• Make this a Generation 1 virtual machine (same viritual hardware as previous versions of Hyper-V)
• Give your virtual machine a unique name e.g DileepUbuntuVM
• -> Keep the memory to default (512 MB) -> next
• -> For the connection select your virtual switch (e.g DileepVirtualSwitch) from the drop down menu and change the size of your VM to be smaller e.g. 40GB (keep the name and location to be the default values) -> Next
• Check the radio button that says: 'Install the operating system from a boot CD/DVD ROM' and check the radio button that says: Image file (.iso)-> browse for the iso on the USB on your server -> 'Next' -> 'Finish'
(note: if you cannot see your usb drive you can navigate to your usb drive letter e.g. G:\ and the typing 'dir' to make sure you can see the contents of your usb drive.
Then copy it from the G: drive to the C: drive of your server by using the following DOS command:
Copy C:\
11. Install VM on the core server from the windows client
• On your client: -> Hyper-V manager-> double click on your virtual machine name (e.g DileepUbuntuVM ) in the center panel
• -> 'Action' menu -> Start
• This will start the installation wizard for Ubuntu as if it was a live installation from a CD
Y/N
Note: you can install as many Virtual switches and Virtual machines on your core server as required. The only limitation is the memory and processing power for your core server's hardware
12. View the Core server Device Manager from the client using MMC (This part does not work so you don't need to do this part)
• On your windows client -> start ->type: MMC
• File -> Add/remove snap in..
• Select device manager -> add
• ->Select the 'Another computer' radio button -> Enter the IP address/hostname of your server
• ->'Finish'
• Double click on the Device Manager
• Can you view the Device Manager for your server? Y/N
