After downloading the bits from http://www.blogger.com/goog_2019813541 I created a quad-processor virtual machine with a non-legacy network adapter.
Installation was fairly straight forward:
However – Ubuntu does not have the Hyper-V enlightened network drivers enabled by default – so the installation complains about not being able to find any network adapters:
But I just ignored that and moved along with the install:
I chose the default packages for setting up a LAMP server:
The install finished and I was dropped at the login prompt:
A cool thing to note was that at this stage I could already shut down the virtual machine by using the shutdown button on the Virtual Machine Connection window, so part of the integration services are already running. You can also see that all four virtual processors are there and working:
Getting the Hyper-V drivers up and running at this point in time is actually relatively simple. The first thing you need to do is to edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add the following lines to the end of it:
hv_vmbus
hv_storvsc
hv_blkvsc
hv_netvsc
Once you have made these changes you will need to run “update-initramfs –u” and reboot. You will now have the Hyper-V drivers for storage and networking loaded:
You can confirm that these drivers are loaded by running “lsmod” after the reboot:
The final thing you need to do is to configure networking (because that step was skipped during installation). The first thing to do is to run “ifconfig –a” to find out what name your network adapter has been given. In my case it was “eth0” – but this is not always the name it will get. Once you know the name you will need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the following to the end of the file:
For DHCP (what I did):
Auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
For a Static IP address:
Auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address [insert your IP address]
netmask [insert your netmask]
Gateway [insert your gateway address]
Like this:
One more reboot and running “ifconfig” should confirm that everything is working:
And in my case I could also confirm that the website was accessible from my parent partition as well:
Ubuntu Server 10.10 running under Hyper-V with full integration services using nothing other than what is included on the Ubuntu install media.
