Bare Metal Install Windows Server and Hyper-V

[@mint9121]

Been away from these for a few years. Great refresher, Thank you!

[@Ciraltos]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Philliprgarcia]

Awesome video Travis!

[@ameladukic6232]

Is it possible to install HyperV direct on hardware like vSphere?

[@Alex-CBG]

Yes.

[@shanehowlett9203]

It still baffles me how this is considered a type 1 HV...

[@Albertkallal]

Why would you consider it anything else? The fact that you use the os to install hyper-v has no bearing that it not a type 1 HV. once installed then you have to re boot and the HV now loads and boots before the os which is now running on top of the HV. Why would it matter how you install that HV matter? What only matters is once installed then the os is running on top of that HV, and that makes hyper-v a type 1 or so called bare metal HV, unlike say VirtualBox which is a type 2 and runs on top of the os. Once hyper-v is installed, then it runs and loads before the os does, including the host os.

Please can i request your service in helping me setup my hyper-v on server 2022?

[@joejoe2452]

I thought you was going to install window server 2022 on a hp proliant server.. installing on desktops is too easy but installing on a hp proliant server many issues like generation and version issues

[@juang1one]

Does 2022 have a free tier of Hyper-V? Without GUI?

[@mdd1963]

Nope...!

[@Ciraltos]

It looks like it will install on Server Core. It has to be installed by the command line, more details here learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/get-started/install-the-hyper-v-role-on-windows-server

[@mdd1963]

The root part of question was 'is there a 'free HyperV 2022', I think...@@Ciraltos

[@Ciraltos]

Thanks! I missed that in the question.

[@KoiaKoiaEVE]

Pretty sure that you can install hyper v on bare metal. Not what he has done here even though the title says it is. This is Hyper V as a type 2 since it's installed over the OS of Windows Server. You can get hyper v in iso and install on bare metal. I don't believe their is a license needed for this at least in older versions you didn't need it. Now if you wanted to spin up a Windows VM you would need a license for that if you are looking to use in production. For lab use you can get evals.

thank you man!

[@michaelem7883]

for the bootable pendrive i would rather use Diskpart.

A few simple IaaS question: 1. How to upgrade an Azure Windows 11 21H2 Gen2 VM to 24H2 ? 2. How to upgrade an Azure Windows 11 Enterprise Multi-Session 21H2 Gen2 VM to 24H2 ? ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I know it's a hard question, please ask all Microsoft Azure MVP you can reach !!!!! Please & Thanks.

[@llfrater19]

This ain’t bare metal my guy I suggest proper research is done

[@Albertkallal]

Why not? The fact of using os to install hv has no bearing on if it's a type 1 or not. Once installed and you reboot then hv loads first and then windows loads on top. Given that hv loads first then yes this means hyper-v is a bare metal hv.

[@ravenhoodcat9421]

@@Albertkallal I thought the same until I realized the Root Partition runs the hypervisor underneath the Server OS. It totally looks identical to running type 2. It was obvious in Hyper-V 2019. I guess we’ll just have to take Microsoft’s word for it.

[@Seb851s]

​@ravenhoodcat9421 so Proxmox is a Hypervisor Type 2 ? Stop say bullshit
