BEFORE STARTING IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THIS ENVIRONMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY MICROSOFT. USE IT ONLY FOR SELF STUDY AND LABORATORY OF CLUSTER OF HYPER-VHello everybody, everyday often some information technology professionals ask me if it is possible to install Hyper-V on a virtual machine.
We all know that a HYPERVISOR can only be installed and officially supported in production physical servers, this prevents many professionals study and increase your knowledge of Hyper-V.If you have tried to install the Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 through Server Manager probably encountered the following message: The following message appears preventing you from continuing the process: Hyper-V can not be installed: The hypervisor is already running.Now I have good news and bad news for you who are eager to learn how to install the Hyper-V virtual machine. The good news is that through PowerShell you can install but the bad news is that unfortunately you are not able to start the virtual machines, but for self-study lab and is already a great improvement you can create a cluster of Hyper-V and verify in practice how it all works. It will work including the last screenshot, but it’s not possible to actually start the vm (tested with ubuntu 14). So this post is very misleading. Just look at the people saying thanks; I think they followed the steps but didn’t tried to start the vm.I’m using Azure VM as the host btw. (It is already possible if you use VMware but this post states 'hyper-v on a hyper-v' and it is just not working at all).
Linux on Windows How to create a Linux virtual machine on Windows 10 using Hyper-V If you work with Linux, or you just want to test drive the OS, you can use Hyper-V to create a virtual machine.
(I’m facing 'one of the components is not running' error every time like anybody actually tried startinga vm in this discussion.).
Some programs will be looking at the names of the disk controllers and searching for anything that resembles a virtual disk controller. The program is only performing this check during install. It’s safe to say that any program using a check this simple will probably do it only once during initial installation.To get around this pesky little road block, open regedit and navigate to HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesDiskEnumYou will see the values like the followingBefore you make any changes to your registry, the best practice is to export the Enum key to somewhere.Locate the value that shows the Virtual Disk Controller Name and double-click on it to open. Copy and paste the full name somewhere (like notepad on the guest OS). Then edit the value to remove the words Vmware and Virtual.
Save and run the program’s setup.The setup should now continue as if it is executing on a physical computer. When it’s complete, go ahead and restore the registry value back to its original name (otherwise Windows won’t boot properly). Run the exported registry to restore the original values.Test and see if your program still runs, if it does then you are done. If the program does not run then it’s probably too smart for this trick.
If that is the case, then you’ll have to permanently rename the hardware. Such a task is currently beyond the scope of this HelpFile.
