Getting started with Hyper-V 2012

I will be using this post for Hyper-V notes as I go through setting up and using Hyper-V 2012. This may not be informative to all but I am really just using it for some note taking.

Add hyper-v management tools on another server 2012 server.

Connect iSCSI storage.

From command line on Hyper-V 2012 Server run the following commands

GUI Based

iscsicpl

Command Line

Set-Service –Name MSiSCSI –StartupType Automatic
Start-Service MSiSCSI

List iSCSI IQN for the iSCSI Initiator

(Get-InitiatorPort).NodeAddress
Get-IscsiConnection

Now, let’s make the session for this iSCSI connection persist across reboots with the following command:

Get-IscsiSession | Register-IscsiSession
Get-IscsiSession
Get-Disk | Where-Object BusType –eq “iSCSI”
Initialize-Disk –Number <Disk_Number> –PartitionStyle GPT –PassThru | New-Partition –AssignDriveLetter –UseMaximumSize | Format-Volume

Install iSCSI MPIO

Powershell
Install-WindowsFeature Multipath-IO

To allow remote management from another server 2012 the following firewall rules need to be added

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Administration" new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Service Management" new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Performance Logs and Alerts" new enable=yes

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Desktop" new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Firewall Remote Management" new enable =yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="windows management instrumentation (wmi)" new enable =yes
