Chapter 7 - Installing Hyper-V

Question 1

What is Docker?

Answer 1

A well-known application for maintaining containers.

Question 2

What is PowerShell Direct?

Answer 2

A feature that permits commands to be run against virtual machines from a local PowerShell installation.

Question 3

What is Shielded Virtual Machine?

Answer 3

A feature that allows the encryption of virtual machines.

Question 4

What are Checkpoints?

How Has Windows Server 2016 improved “checkpoints”?

Answer 4

Point-in-time images of a virtual machine.

Windows Server 2016 improves checkpoints with a new productioncheckpoint feature; production checkpoints are “point in time” images of a virtual machine, which can be restored later in a way that is completely supported for all production workloads; this is achieved through using backup technology inside the VM instead of the more traditional saved state approach.

Question 5

What is Hyper-V Manager?

Answer 5

The GUI that permits the management of Hyper-V.

Question 6

What is Nested Virtualization?

Answer 6

The ability to run Hyper-V virtualization from within a virtual machine.

Question 7

Name at least three requirements that you must meet in order to run shielded virtual machines.

Answer 7

UEFI 2.3.1c
TMP v2.0,
IOMMU, Generation 2, and supported OS

Question 8

How can you install Hyper-V using the GUI?

Answer 8

Choose the Add Roles and Features option from the Manage menu of Server Manager.

Question 9

Name at least two requirements for nested virtualization.

Answer 9

At least 4 GB of RAM; Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10 Anniversary Update; a virtual machine running Hyper-V that is the same build as the host; and an Intel processor with VT-x and EPT technology

Question 10

What is an IOMMU?

Answer 10

n input–output memory management unit (IOMMU) is a memory management unit (MMU) that connects a direct-memory-access–capable (DMA-capable) I/O bus to the main memory.

Question 11

What is a TPM v.2?

Answer 11

designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that helps you with actions such as generating, storing, and limiting the use of cryptographic keys

Question 12

What is UEFI 2.3.1? 6 features

Answer 12

United Extensible Firmware Interface allows for:

• Ability to support Windows 10 security features like Secure Boot, Windows Defender Credential Guard, and Windows Defender Exploit Guard.
• All require UEFI firmware.
• Faster boot and resume times.
• Ability to more easily support large hard drives (more than 2 terabytes) and drives with more than four partitions.
• Support for multicast deployment, which allows PC manufacturers to broadcast a PC image that can be received by multiple PCs without overwhelming the network or image server.
• Support for UEFI firmware drivers, applications, and option ROMs.

Question 13

What are the prerequisites for Hyper-V installation?

Answer 13

• x64 processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
• A minimum of 4 GB of RAM
• At least 1 GB of RAM for the host operating system of Windows Server 2016 VM Monitor Mode extensions
• Virtualization support enabled in the BIOS or UEFI
  Processors with Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology
• Available and enabled hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP); for Intel systems, this is the XD bit (execute disable bit), and for AMD systems, it is the NX bit (no execute bit)
