EFA - Hyper-V
EFA - Hyper-V
Hello Darky83
Congratulations on the first EFA release. Let hope it the first of many.
Is there any chance of a .vhd (Hyper-V) release?
Regards

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
That could be possible,
I am currently documenting the build script, with the build script it is possible to build EFA on any machine you want from scratch (linux knowledge is required however because a basic installed debian system is needed)
I currently don't have a Hyper-V host available but I can set one up next week to create a vhd also.

Version eFa 4.x now available!
Re: EFA - Hyper-V
No worries... I've used linux for many years & many different distro's
I have access to Hyper-V, VMware ESXi and at a push... A Citrix Xen hosts.
Can knock you up an image(s) if you want?

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
I already created a Hyper-V image for you
see: http://www.efa-project.org/download/
It is compressed using 7zip so you will need 7zip to decompress the .7z file.

I've downloaded the Hyper-V image. Not having much luck importing it though. Replicated the install/export path etc. What version of Hyper-V did you use?
I'm using Windows 2008 Stnd
Many thanks for the time and effort
Kind regards

2008 std R2
I don't know if there is a difference in R2 maybe.
I will try it out tomorrow, I sucessfully installed it on a few 2008 R2 hyper-v servers but never tried a non R2 machine.

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
Hi Dark
Just wondering you had a .vhd file that could be added to a Hyper-V instance?

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
I tested on a non R2 server and all seems to be working fine.
Are you using the import option in Hyper-V Manager or just selecting the disks it self?
See for example: http://www.howtogeek.com/104148/beginne ... n-hyper-v/ and scroll down to Importing a Virtual Machine and select 'Copy the Virtual Machine'

Tried both methods. Gunna try another import

Hi Dark
Still no joy.
I've replicated the export path. Even tried removing the UUID from the .exp file
Just a quick question... I know this sounds insulting.. But you're not renaming folders once the vm has exported & all exported (even empty ones) folders are being included in the 7zip?
Cheers

Please disregard last post.
I've imported the image on Hyper-V R2 host. Image boots up, I can run through the config options.
There's no networking though.
As for my 2008 Std Hyper-V @ Home... time to blow it away and upgrade.

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
For networking make sure the 'legacy' networking adapter is connected to a virtual switch.
Weird that it didn't work on your non R2 2008 server, I specialy installed one to test but it worked there :S

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
Hello, Yes... tried the legacy card... still no luck
tried bringing the card 'manually' with ifup etc. Tried creating a new vm adding the legacy card, then adding the two vhd files. It boots up but still doesn't pick up the network interface.
This happens on both Hyper-v's
Gunna try a vanilla debian install with Legacy card enabled... just to rule out anymore hv bugs

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
Hi,
I am also getting the same problem with lack of networking after the image goes thru the config.
2008 R2 Hyper V with switch and legacy network adapter.
Any ideas?

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
Been testing but somehow I can't reproduce,
Guess it has something todo with the physical hardware differences.
My best guess is that in the ip configuration script I use I set eth0 as network interface.
It might be that in your case the system has a eth1 nic for example, if you do a clean boot and then login on the console and then:
what is the result there? does it show a eth0 or eth1 nic?

Re: EFA - Hyper-V
It appears that if you use the pre-built image, but choose not to keep the same MAC address, Debian assigns a new interface name to the (sole) Ethernet adapter. I haven't tested replacing with the synthetic NIC and keeping the MAC - as it appears the kernel doesn't include the Hyper-V extensions and I'm not clued up enough to install them myself.
