How to activate the Hyper-V Server 2012 on Fusion 5?

Dear members of the Forum,

I have a Mac Pro early 2008 Intel Xeon, 16 GB under Snow Leopard and VMWare Fusion 5 installed, as well as a few virtual machines running perfectly. I decided to create a virtual computer that is running Windows Server 2012. The installation went well. However, when I tried to activate the Hyper-V technology I got in trouble.

In the Virtual Machine settings > system settings > general: I chose "Hyper-V (not supported).

In the processor and memory, I selected 4 cores, 4 GB and in advanced: enable applications to hypervisor...

In other/advanced: the virtualization engine preferred: Intel VT - x with EFA

and all the possible permutations of these selections. Nothing has worked.

Error messages:

Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor has no virtualization required capabilities.

Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.

Preferred mode is unavailable. Using VT - x instead. This host does not support EFA.

All this leads me to believe that my hardware configuration does not support the operation of computers virtual hyper-v in Fusion. According to your philosophy, we can consider this to be a reality: everything is always possible. However, what drives me nuts are guys on internet blogs, everybody saying he's working on their system! I would like to hear an authoritative voice if possible, or not.

Thanks in advance

Hi Eric and welcome on VMware communities!

It is purely a matter of features of the CPU.  None of the processors that apple delivered in Early 2008 Mac Pro systems supports Extended Page Tables (EPT).  According to the list of the Mac Pro systems, the processor that you have will be E5462, E5472 or X 5482, as well as relevant on the (related) Intel Web site pages show no support for EFA everymac.com.

Without EFA, we cannot virtualize VT - x.  In other words, the guest operating system cannot see and use virtualization assisted by material, although the merger itself will be able to make use of the hardware support of the functions of virtualization host to run the virtual machine: we can use VT - x, but cannot virtualize to make it available to a nested prompt.

Hyper-V is entirely dependent on the hardware support for virtualization (VT - x for example), then it won't work as a guest nested in your configuration.

Companions VMwarian jmattson produced a great entry on nested VMS requirements and functional combinations here: nested VMs running

See you soon,.

  • VMware ESXi 5.1 can run Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 SMV also, nice!

    I created a detailed instructions (with screenshots and video) using GA-level code here:

    http://tinkertry.com/ESXi-5-1-running-hyper-v-Server-2012

    using the "basic" version of the new Hyper-V, with tips and ideas from these forums and other sites on the previous beta tests.

    Here's the gist:

    • Create a "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)" VM, using the default Configuration
    • Right click on the new virtual machine and material virtual upgrade to Version 9
    • twist the VMX, adding these 4 lines:

    MCE. Enable = TRUE

    Hypervisor.CPUID.v0 = FALSE
    featMask.vm.hv.capable = Min:1″ «»
    VHV.enable = TRUE

    • Remember, it is assigned to a network where the vSwitch is Promiscuous Mode to Accept
    • Turn on the new machine virtual of Hyper-V
    • perform the default installation and configure Hyper-v, hard IP-code if you wish, create an Admin user and password name that matches a customer's system
    • create a Windows 8 'customer' VM, as the Hyper-V Manager takes just a few seconds to add
    • Difficulty of COM security on the client system
    • use Hyper - V Manager this virtual machine to connect to Hyper-V, and then...
    • create a Hyper-V hosted Virtual Machine, can connect you and turn it on to test

    I'm looking forward to suggestions or alternative methods, but for the moment, it was the only way I could get it to work in my own laboratory, thought that others might not want to try to replicate this exercise.

    Windows Hyper-V (not supported) is a selection of OS comments available through the user interface in Workstation 9.  It defines the guestOS to 'winhyperv '.  Although the selection of the BONES of Hyper-V is not available through the user interface of 5.1 ESXi, I understand that support it is always there.

    See you soon

    Hi Matthew

    As far as I know you can connect an external monitor or a TFT. For this you can use the VGA (15-pin) port or DVI - D video, supported by PortReplicator III (PA3314E).

    Sorry, but I don't understand why you need the two holes at the same time. How many external screens that you want to use? Sorry if I'm missing something but perhaps you can explain your wishes more precisely.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - how to activate the bluetooth connection

    How to activate the bluetooth connection?

    Hello

    First check to see if your computer supports BT
    If the laptop supports BT, then you should find a BT tag at the bottom of the unit.
    If there is no label then your machine was not equipped with internal BT module!

    If the laptop supports BT, then use the FN + F8 key to go to the BT
    Then BT should start installation and configuration.

  • How to activate the resolutions of wide screen on Satellite Pro A10

    Hello

    I looked through various positions through the forums, but have not found how to activate the wide screen on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 resolutions.
    The 2 following wires offer partial answers:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19677

    The solution in the 2nd post won't work because the A10 has an Intel graphics card, not a Nvidia. He suggested also, modify the INF of the graphics driver, but to extract the driver (SA10B2DP.exe) file includes an installer, but no INF.

    Just look to see if anyone has any advice on how to activate the resolutions such as 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050.

    Thank you

    Hello

    you mean on the external screen, Don t you? If you have an intel chipset graphic why Don t you download the drivers from the website of intel.
    Maybe it offers a resolution of the external display.

    I don't know if the res external can be set to widescreen on this chipset as the drivers are somewhat limited...
    Can you describe what monitor you have and how you connect it to your machine. (d-sub or DVI)?

    Would appreciate some reactions :)

  • Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

    Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

    1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
    2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards
