hi,

 

1. how works? & requirements before configuring hyper - v?

 

microsoft’s hyper-v microkernel hypervisor virtualization technology.

 

for more information hypervisor, can refer to:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hypervisor

 

if use windows server 2008 hyper-v host, after enable hyper-v on it, original windows server 2008 becomes special virtual machine, called parent partition or host partition. hyper-v parent partition can manage , assign hardware resources virtual machines.

 

if want run hyper-v, have ensure servers compatible hyper-v.

 

hyper-v requires specific hardware. install , use hyper-v role, need following:

 

    an x64-based processor. hyper-v available in 64-bit editions of windows server 2008—specifically, 64-bit editions of windows server 2008 standard, windows server 2008 enterprise, , windows server 2008 datacenter. hyper-v not available 32-bit (x86) editions or windows server 2008 itanium-based systems. however, hyper-v management tools available 32-bit editions. more information tools, see installing hyper-v [node].

 

    hardware-assisted virtualization. available in processors include virtualization option—specifically processors intel virtualization technology (intel vt) or amd virtualization (amd-v) technology.

 

hardware-enforced data execution prevention (dep) must available , enabled. specifically, must enable intel xd bit (execute disable bit) or amd nx bit (no execute bit)

 

2. features in hyper - v?

 

i sorry can’t concern, please provide details.

 

3. how many vm's can run on it?

6. can clustering on hyper  - v?

 

requirements , limits virtual machines , hyper-v in windows server 2008 r2
