ICTNWK559 Install an enterprise virtual computing environment
Task 1 - Install Enterprise Computing Environment
Your document must include:
A. Introduction
a. Description of what you will do during this task (1 paragraph)
i. If you are using only 1 VM, write the reason here
B. Report
a. Screenshot of your configuration, crop your screenshot making sure all the relevant information is captured and make a small comment of what the screenshot is about.
b. Create a Windows Server 2012 VM (Requirements: 6 GB RAM, 60 GB Storage)
c. Hyper-V set up configuration
d. Enable Hyper-V
e. Add Windows 7 ISO Image into the server (using shared folder)
f. Create 2 Windows 7 VMs inside Hyper-V (Requirements: 2 GB RAM, 20 GB Storage)
g. Install the 2 Windows 7 VM
h. Do a Ping test between the 2 Windows 7 VMs (In some cases, you will need to disable the firewall)
C. Installation Summary Table
D. Referencing
a. The Referencing style that we use is APA style.
You will also need to add some parameters in the .vmx configuration file of the Windows Server 2012 Virtual Machine. These are the parameters that will need to be added into the .vmx config file:
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" mce.enable = "TRUE"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
The first 2 lines you can just write at the end of the file, but the 3rd line "vhv.enable" already exists so
you need to find it in the .vmx file and edit it to TRUE.
