Linux Integration Services v2.1 Now Available

  • Artykuł

Over on the virtualization team blog – Mike Sterling has just announced the availability of the Linux Integration Services v2.1.  And there is a lot to announce here.  Along with the previous support for our high performance virtual storage and network adapters – this release brings in the following new features:

  • SMP Support: All supported Linux distributions can use up to 4 virtual processors per virtual machine.
  • Integrated Shutdown: This means that you can finally shutdown Linux virtual machines directly from the Hyper-V / SCVMM management consoles – without needing to login to the virtual machine first.
  • Time Synchronization: Linux virtual machines will now have their clocks updated to deal with things like “saved states” just like Windows virtual machines.
  • Heartbeat: The virtual machine heartbeat allows you to confirm that Linux is still running and responding inside the virtual machine.

These integration services are supported on the following guest operating systems:

  • Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3
  • Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 / 5.3 / 5.4 / 5.5

You can download the integration services here: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=eee39325-898b-4522-9b4c-f4b5b9b64551

Cheers,

    I would do this by installing Asterisk on one of the supported Linux distributions. Cheers, Ben

    Are there any plans to provide support for Ubuntu, or would the integration tools work on Ubuntu if they were compiled from the source?

    Any idea if/when these will be scheduled in the main Kernel development?

    John I believe its all in 2.6.35 which is rtm very soon.  Although not many distros will use that kernel for a while. Prehaps someone else can confirm.  In the meantime if you are looking for a free option I use opensuse 11.1 which works well with the 2.1 ICs if you follow thwe install notes

    This is an update to my previous comment. I have now removed the nic teams on both Hyper-V hosts and I am still experiencing the same problem.  When a linux guest live migrates, the gratuitous ARP is not sent like it is for a Windows guest.  This is on Server 2008 R2 Data Center Edition with all of the latest patches and recommended hotfixes.  I am running Linux IC 2.1 on Centos 5.5.
