In this exercise, you will perform various initial configuration tasks using the Hyper-V

Manager on Windows Server 2008.

Scenario

You have just installed Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V on a new host computer and you

are planning to begin creating virtual machines to migrate workloads. You will begin by

configuring management tools, creating virtual networks, and a virtual hard disk. You will

also configure global defaults for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.

Tasks

computers using the username Contoso\Administratorand the

password LS1setup!.

b. On the Startmenu, point toAdministrative Tools, and then click Hyper-

V Manager.

Important:Once the external switch is created, if the host network card can no longer be connected

to the network. Restore network connectivity on ADMIN-01, run

C:\scripts\restorenet.cmd from a command prompt and then re-check all of the network

card bindings for the Local Area Connection by using the Network Control Panel. Do not

create an external network on CORE-01.

Due to differences in hardware, restorenet.cmd may not restore network connectivity.

You may need to edit the file and change the Local Area Connection 3 to Local AreaConnection # where # matches the interface on your machine. On most machines that

have one network card, Hyper-V will create Local Area Connection 3 and so

restorenet.cmd attempts to set the IP address of this interface.

Exercise 9: Exploring Hyper-V with PowerShell

In this exercise, you will use Windows PowerShell to explore Windows Server 2008

Hyper-V and manipulate virtual machines.

Before You Begin

Before starting this lab:

Complete Exercises 1-8

Configure | verify your lab environment:

o Physical machines ADMIN-01 and CORE-01 with Hyper-V installed

What You Will Learn

After completing this exercise, you will be able to explore and manipulate a Hyper-V

server and virtual machines using Windows PowerShell.

After completing the exercises you will be able to:

Enumerate available classes in the Hyper-V WMI namespace

Start, Create a virtual machine, take a memory dump of a virtual machine and

change settings in virtual machine using PowerShell and WMI.

Scenario

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V is includes a full set of management and automation

interfaces which are based on Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). This allows

administrators to create custom management tools and scripts using any platform that

supports WMI, such as Windows Script Host, PowerShell, or .NET.

Important:The following scripts should be run using the 32-bit version of PowerShell. Do not close

PowerShell in between executing the commands in this lab or the environment will have

to be reconfigured. This can be accomplished by repeating the steps in 4a, Prepare

PowerShell to run scripts.

Tip:

Some of the following commands contain commands that must be enclosed in quotes, and

virtual machine names that must be enclosed in single quotes. Please take note of this to make

sure you enter the command correctly.

Tasks

1. Display available Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V WMI Objects.

a. Ensure you are logged on toAdmin-01as Contoso\Administratorusing

the password LS1setup!.

b.

If Server Manager is not already open onADMIN-01, open it and then

expand Features. Right-click on Featuresand selectAdd Features.

c. Select Windows PowerShellfrom the Select Featuresscreen and follow

the wizard to install Windows PowerShell.

d.

On the Startmenu, point toAll Programs, click Windows PowerShell 1.0and then click Windows PowerShell.

e.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command, and then press

ENTER.

Get-WMIObject namespace root\Virtualization computernamecore-01 list

f. The results of this command should be a list of the WMI objects from the

root\virtualization namespace.

2.

Explore Virtualization System Management Service

a.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following commands, pressing ENTER

after each command. This series of commands will first store an instance of

the Virtual System Management Service in an object. It will then display the

current values of the object, and finally enumerate the available properties

and methods.

$VM = Get-WMIObject query Select * from MSVM_ComputerSystemwhere ElementName = V_Server1 namespace root\Virtualizationcomputername core-01

$VM

$VM | get-member

b. When displaying the properties of the new $VM object, you should see the

results of the query. The command was successful if _PATHdisplays

\\CORE-01, ElementName = V_Server1,and PrimaryOwnerName =


3.

Explore Virtual Networks

a. In Windows PowerShell, type the following commands, pressing ENTER

after each command. This series of commands will first display details on all

configured virtual network switches. It will then display the properties and

methods available for working with virtual network switches.

Get-WMIObject MSVM_VirtualSwitch namespace root\Virtualizationcomputername core-01

Get-WMIObject MSVM_VirtualSwitch namespace root\Virtualizationcomputername core-01 | Get-Member

d.

Using Hyper-V Manager, verify that the startup order of the Windows

Server 2008 Pass-throughvirtual machine is Legacy Network Adapter,

IDE, CD, and then Floppy.

6.

Create a virtual machine

a.

Change to the C:\Labfiles\Scriptsfolder in PowerShell and execute thefollowing command to create a new virtual machine on CORE-01:

create-vm core-01 NewScriptedVM

b.

Verify that a new virtual machine named NewScriptedVM was created on

CORE-01.

7. Create a memory dump of a virtual machine.

a.

If it is not already started, start the Windows Vista SP1 Enterprisevirtual

machine on CORE-01.

b.

Execute the following command to manually force a memory dump of thevirtual machine:

Dumpvm s core-01 v Windows Vista SP1 Enterprise

c.

If the Vista SP1 virtual machine does not blue screen with a Stop

0x000000e2 exception, add a DWORD registry value named

CrashOnCtrlScrollto the Vista SP1 machine and set it to 0x1. Add the value

to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\parameters.

Reboot the Vista SP1 virtual machine and then try the script again.

Exercise 10: Hyper-V Snapshots

In this exercise, you will create snapshots and then apply snapshots to revert to a

previous configuration (i.e. to undochanges to the virtual machine).

Scenario

A snapshot is a point-in-time picture of a virtual machines running state. Snapshots can

be used to create checkpoints that allow you to quickly roll back a configuration change,

or revert a VM to a previous state. Capturing snapshots is an important part of Hyper-V

management and administration.

Tasks

1. Create a Virtual Machine Snapshot

a. Make sure the V_Server1virtual machine is running on CORE-01. Click on

V-Server1in Hyper-V Manager, and then on theActionmenu, click

Snapshot.

b.

Click on the Snapshot that you just created above and then click Renamein

Action menu. Rename the snapshot to First Snapshot No folder.

c. Logon to the virtual machine V_Server1running on CORE-01using the

administrator account and password. Create a new folder named New

Folder 1on the desktop of the V_Server1virtual machine.

d.

Use Hyper-v Manager to take another snapshot of the V_Server1 virtual

machine. Rename the snapshot to Second Snapshot Folder 1.

e. Repeatsteps c and d two more times and create a third and fourth

snapshot and a New Folder 2and New Folder 3on the desktop. Make sure

to take a new snapshot after each folder is created.

2.

Restore the VM from a snapshot

a.

In Hyper-V Manager, under Snapshots, click Second Snapshot Folder 1,

and then in theActionspane, clickApply.

b. In theApply Snapshotdialog box, clickApply.

Note:

The green arrow that indicates the active snapshot should move from Fourth Snapshot to the

Second Snapshot.

c. Switch to V_Server1on CORE-01and logon to this virtual machine.

d. Verify that there is only one folder on the desktop of the virtual machine

named New Folder 1.

e.

In Hyper-V Manager, click V_Server1, and then under Snapshotsright-click

on First Snapshot No folder, and then click Delete Snapshot Subtree.

f. Click Deletein the Delete Snapshot Treedialog to confirm the deletion.

g. Question/discussion: How many New Folders are on the desktop of the

V_Server1 virtual machine after deleting the snapshot tree? Is thissomething you would expect?

h.

Answer:

i. Close the V_Server1 on CORE-01Virtual Machine Connection window.

j.

In Hyper-V Manager, click V_Server1and then in theActionspane, click

Shut Down.

k.

If a message is displayed about forcing the shutdown, click Forceto forcethe shutdown.
