I was using Windows Server 2008 R2 as my developer machine, hosting my Hyper-V virtual machines. I am now switching over to Windows 8 to run Hyper-V in a client OS, which is my use case anyway.
Are there any gotchas I should be aware of before I attempt to port my existing VMs into Windows 8 Hyper-V? I have a few virtual machines on a virtual network, and I need them to continue working (DC, SQL, SharePoint, etc). Are there any special steps I should take (for instance, exporting my virtual network instead of recreating a new one) to minimize headaches?
Great answer. Thank you. Is there anything I should do for the networks? – Nathan DeWitt – 2012-10-23T18:01:36.953
@NathanDeWitt what do you mean exactly? – James Mertz – 2012-10-23T18:02:39.423
I have a virtual network for the VMs to use between themselves. Do I just create a new one in Win8 or should I somehow export the one I use currently? – Nathan DeWitt – 2012-10-23T18:03:40.443
1There's probably going to be some configuration that you'll have to do, but anything that is done withing the VM's themselves will stay the same. Virtual switches however, I don't believe are exported. – James Mertz – 2012-10-23T18:06:37.450
