Week 1: Build Your Lab
Prep: download all the essentials components, and overview the lab what you need
-
Create MS IT Camp Folder under VMs and Templates
-
Create a new VM from WS12R2 Template for workgroup server and name it HVSCCM
-
Select the customization specification for Local Group OS
-
Edit VM Hardware
-
Set Memory to 16GB (at least 8GB) and 4 Core vCPU (at least 2 Core vCPU)
-
Set HDD to 200GB Space and 192.168.255 for the port group for DHCP Scope.
Install Hyper-V on the dedicated lab host VM (HVSCCM)
-
Install Hyper-v Role, but got the following error
- Per Solution Link1 at Nesting Hyper-VM running ESXi 5 and Link1, shut down the VM
-
Edit Settings>options>Advanced>General>Configuration Parameters>Configuration Parameters>
-
Add Row
-
Add name | value as below
- hypervisor.cpuid.v0 |false
- mce.enable | true
-
change monitor.virtual_exec | hardware from true
-
Go back to Edit Settings>options>Advanced>CPU/MMU Virtualization>Use intel VT-X/AMD V for instruction set virtualization and Intel EPT/AMD RVI for MMU Virtualization
- Turn on SSH on ESXi1 and ESXi2
- Logon to the hosts with PuTTY and type vi etc/vmware/config to edit
-
Add vhv.enable= “True” at the end of the line and ESC key to change editing mode then type :wq to save
-
To confirm the config file, type cat /etc/vmware/config
- Type Exit to end SSH connections and turn off SSH options on Security Profile on each ESXi Hosts
-
Edit Setting>Options>Advanced>CPUID Mask>CPU Identification Mask>Advanced
-
Add under LEVEL1>ecx> —- —- —- —- —- —- –H- —-
-
Then, Power the VM back on and try again to add install Hyper-V role
-
Per the solution Link at ESXi 5.1, access to web client https://vc5.vmlab.local:9443/vsphere-client/#
-
Edit Settings>CPU>Hardware Virtualization> Check on Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS
- Power back on the VM and try to install Hyper-V Role again. Finally no additional error.
-
Click next without select any network adapter now. I will add another network adapter for the lab environment.
-
Since this is a lab host, next without select anything
-
Set restart automatically if need and Click Install
-
It was rebooted automatically and completed.
- Server Manager> Tools>Hyper-V Manager
- Follow the instruction from Hands- on Lab build Guide to setup the lab. ( I will not create a SOP for settings up Hands on lab)
