Topic: VM HYPER V Linux Integration Components

[windrake]

Bonjour,

Je voudrais installer SME 7.4 dans une VM sous HYPER-V 2008 R2 de Microsoft. L'installation fonctionne très bien sauf le réseau. Il existe 'Linux Integration Components' pour centos mais je n'arrive pas a l'installer sous sme.
Si quelqu'un a déja fait cette manipulation je veux bien un coup de main.
Merci

Hi

I know this is an older listing but it's the only one that comes up in a search of "Hyper-V".

Using Google Translate French to English I get
"Hello, I would install the EMS 7.4 in a VM under Hyper-V 2008 R2 Microsoft. The installation works fine except the network. There 'Linux Integration Components' to centos but I can not install on a sm. If someone has already done this manipulation I'd like a helping hand. Thank you"

I have spent a few hours experimenting with 2008 R2 Hyper-V and SME 8 beta and SME 7.5 over the last couple of days and have found that while SME does not play nicely with current release NIC's - Realtek 8168 and 8169 in my case - Hyper-V does accommodate us effectively when you use the Hyper-V option to Add Hardware and select Legacy Network Adapter and not the default Network Adapter.

The end result is that SME server recognises the Legacy driver using the Tulip chipset and aliases this to my Realtek cards. Obviously different brands may vary and may not be recognised, but this was very effective and simple for my requirements.

If you are working with Hyper-V and SME there was also a bug that I logged that may be of interest. It was resolved by sorting out the NIC issues above. http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6021


cheers

Be aware that the thruput on the legacy adapter is very slow - NOT suitable for a FileServer SME, unless you are only using small files
