Q

How do you Create a Virtual Machine?

A

Step 1. Launch the Hyper-V Manager by selecting Tools > Hyper-V Manager. (This step assumes that you have installed Hyper-V and its management tools properly,
Step 2. Ensure that your Hyper-V host is selected in the left pane and choose Action > New > Virtual Machine,
Step 3. Click Next in the New Virtual Machine Wizard - Before You Begin page.
Step 4. Provide a name for your virtual machine and select a location on the Specify Name and Location page. Click Next when you are done.
Step 5. On the Specify Generation page, choose a Generation 1 or Generation 2 virtual machine. Remember that this choice cannot be changed once the VM is created. Click Next.
Step 6. Assign memory and decide on the usage of dynamic memory for your virtual machine on the Assign Memory page. Click Next.
Step 7. Select your network adapter on the Configure Networking page and click Next.
Step 8. Select your virtual hard disk settings on the Connect Virtual Hard Disk page. Click Next.
Step 9. On the Installation Options page, choose from one of three options: Install an operating system later
Install an operating system from a bootable image file
Install an operating system from a network-based installation server
When you are done making selections, click Next.
Step 10. On the Completing the New Virtual Machine Wizard page, click Finish.

Q

How do you configure Dynamic Memory in a Virtual Machine?

A

In the Virtual Machine Memory settings there is an option to enable dynamic memory with a minimum and maximum amount that would like to be used.
It is also possible to set a percentage of memory that a virtual machine can use as a memory buffer

Q

What PowerShell cmdlet is used to enable resource metering in Hyper-V?

A

Enable-VMResourceMetering

17
Q

To view Resource Metering in a detailed list view what cmdlet would you use?

A

Measure-VM

18
Q

What cmdlet allows you to reset resource metering statistics?

A

Reset-VMResourceMetering

19
Q

What cmdlet would you use to completely disable resource metering?

A

Disable-VMResourceMetering

20
Q

What Integration Services are available between host server and the operating system in a virtual machine?

A
  1. Operating System Shutdown
  2. Time Synchronization
  3. Data Exchange
  4. Heartbeat
  5. Backup( volume snapshot)
  6. Guest Services
21
Q

What does Operating system shutdown do In Virtual Machine’s Integration Services?

A

This permits the graceful shutdown of the OS in the virtual machine using controls in Hyper-V for shutdown.

22
Q

What does Time Synchronization do in the Integration Services of a virtual machine?

A

This permits the synchronization of time in the guest OS with that of the host.

23
Q

What does Data Exchange in the Integration Services of a virtual machine do?

A

Also known as key-value pairs (KVP), data exchange permits the sharing of information between the host and the virtual machine; access to this data from the host is only available using WMI scripts

24
Q

What does Heartbeat do in the Integration Services of a virtual machine?

A

The heartbeat service monitors the state of running virtual machines by reporting a heartbeat at regular intervals; you can check the heartbeat status of a virtual machine on the Summary tab of the virtual machine’s details page

25
Q

What does the Backup (Volume Snapshot) Integration Service in a virtual machine do?

A

The backup service enables consistent backup of the virtual machines from backup software running on the host. The backup service allows for a virtual machine to be backed up while it is running without any interruption to the virtual machine or the services running in the virtual machine.

26
Q

What does Guest Services do in the Integration Services of a virtual machine?

A

You can copy files to a running virtual machine without using a network connection

27
Q

What does the Get-VMIntegrationSerivce cmdlet do?

A

monitors the state of running virtual machines by reporting a heartbeat at regular intervals

28
Q

What does the Copy-VMFile cmdlet do?

A

Copies a virtual machine

29
Q

What Linux Operating systems are enabled for secure boot in a virtual machine?

A

Ubuntu 14.04 and later
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 and later
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 and later
CentOS 7.0 and later

30
Q

Which cmdlet can be used to boot securely but must be used before booting the virtual machine for the first time?

A

Set-VMFirmware -VMName SAMPLEVM -SecureBootTemplate

MicrosoftUEFICertificateAuthority

31
Q

What are five best practices for Virtual Machine deployment?

A
  • Use dynamic memory. The only exception is if you are hosting applications that would continue to request more memory if available.
  • Set the minimum and maximum memory for VMs.
  • Avoid using differencing disks. Using them may reduce disk space, but they can dramatically reduce performance.
  • Use multiple Hyper-V-specific network adapters connected to different external virtual switches to provide redundancy in the networking configuration.
  • Store virtual machine files on their own volumes if you are not using shared storage. Doing this will minimize the impact of a single virtual machine’s hard disk growth on other VMs.
