Linux Integration Services v2.1 pour Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V R2 disponible
L’annonce date “un peu” puisque la RTM de ces services d’intégration pour les systèmes linux a été faite à la mi-août mais un petit rappel ne fait pas de mal…:-)
Supports des systèmes :
- Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 / 5.3 / 5.4 / 5.5
Les évolutions à noter:
- Driver support for synthetic devices: Linux Integration Services supports the synthetic network controller and the synthetic storage controller that were developed specifically for Hyper-V.
- Fastpath Boot Support for Hyper-V: Boot devices take advantage of the block Virtualization Service Client (VSC) to provide enhanced performance.
- Timesync: The clock inside the virtual machine will remain synchronized with the clock on the host.
- Integrated Shutdown: Virtual machines running Linux can be gracefully shut down from either Hyper-V Manager or System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
- Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) Support: Supported Linux distributions can use up to 4 virtual processors (VP) per virtual machine.
- Heartbeat: Allows the host to detect whether the guest is running and responsive.
- Pluggable Time Source: A pluggable clock source module is included to provide a more accurate time source to the guest.
