Virtualisation
WinImage - Tidbits from the field
I have posted before about the great tool called WinImage and how I think it is brilliant! I have been using it on and off recently and decided to share some tidbits of information about it.
The first tool for anyone using virtualisation
I am a fan of virtualisation, my comments on an earlier post about it being the future should be a give away. As such I have a “few” VHD's around and sometimes I have problems which the out of the box technology can’t cope with. A few of these are:
Hyper-V Shrinking a VHD
Virtualisation is the way of the future, be it for demos or testing or production systems it is the future, and that means VHD files will be everywhere. However VHD files grow and grow and never shrink because of the way they are designed to work.
Hyper-V and Win2k3 Network Card
Great Hyper-V Post
The Zen of Hosting: Part 9 - Hyper-V
As I approach the end of this series I want to highlight some of the technology that the hosting machine is built on and some of the experiences I learnt with that. These last few posts are much shorter than the earlier ones but hopefully provide some quick bite size info.
So if you have looked at standard HMC then add all the technology we have added to it, you would assume there is a building full of servers. The reality is the server room has got lots of space and isn’t that big. How did we achieve this?
