FAQ

                Q: Do these Linux ICs enable support for more than one virtual CPU?

                A: No. The ICs support single processor Linux Virtual Machines. We are currently evaluating multi-proc Linux support at a later time (post RTM).

 

                Q: Do these Linux ICs enable mouse support?

A: Synthetic mouse support is not included in this download. However, synthetic mouse drivers for use with Linux running on Hyper-V are available. For more information, see the Citrix Project Satori Web site at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=157779.

               

Q: Did Citrix develop these ICs?

A: No. The Linux IC’s were developed by a team in the Microsoft Open Source Technology Center.

Many thanks to Hank Janssen and his team including Haiyang Zhang and Hashir Abdi. They took over the development of the IC’s from Citrix and worked to remove the Xen shim and enhance the synthetic storage and network modules to be compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V. Their work has resulted in a tremendous boost to the performance of the IC’s!

 

Q: Do I need to run the Xen kernel with the hypercall shim with these ICs?

A: No, the Xen kernel is no longer used with this version of the IC’s.
