E’ disponibile presso il sito Download di Microsoft, il nuovo pacchetto Linux Integration Services v2.1 for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V R2.

Il rilascio di questo software segna l’avvio definitivo della piattaforma Hyper-V R2  in ambienti Enterprise, dove il primo prerequisito per una nuova infrastruttura di virtualizzazione è la possibilità di avere il pieno supporto ai vari S/O , Linux compreso.

Il package comprende:

Driver support for synthetic devices: Linux Integration Services supports the synthetic network controller and the synthetic storage controller that were developed specifically for Hyper-V.
Fastpath Boot Support for Hyper-V: Boot devices take advantage of the block Virtualization Service Client (VSC) to provide enhanced performance.
Timesync: The clock inside the virtual machine will remain synchronized with the clock on the host.
Integrated Shutdown: Virtual machines running Linux can be gracefully shut down from either Hyper-V Manager or System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) Support: Supported Linux distributions can use up to 4 virtual processors (VP) per virtual machine.
Heartbeat: Allows the host to detect whether the guest is running and responsive.
Pluggable Time Source: A pluggable clock source module is included to provide a more accurate time source to the guest.

Adesso anche le macchine Linux avranno tutti i benefici della Virtualizzazione (comprese le performance) tramite Hyper-V, in base ai principi di Alta Affidabilità e Business Continuity.

Il supporto ai sistemi operativi linux è limitato a:

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 / 5.3 / 5.4 / 5.5
