Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V on Dell Precision T3400
Hello,
I have a Dell Precision T3400 which is currently running CentOS_5.2 and vmware.
I would like to try and install Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and use the virtualization stuff to test various Virtual Machine possibilities.
I have obtained a spare 500GB disk and wonder if this Dell hardware will be ablt to run the OS?
There are a few pre-requisites that I have seen on the Misrosoft Hyper-V FAQ...
On this site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/hyperv-faq.aspx
Technical Information
Q. What are the system requirements for Hyper-V?
A.
In addition to the systems requirement for Windows Server 2008, the two key requirements for the Hyper-V platform are the need to ensure that the server is a 64-bit environment and supports hardware-assisted virtualization (Intel VT or AMD-V) technology.
Setup and Requirements
Q. What are the prerequisites to install and use Hyper-V?
A.
In addition to the system requirements for Windows Server 2008 as described in the release notes, a 64-bit system with hardware-assisted virtualization enabled and data execution prevention (DEP) is required. It is also recommended to ensure that you have a clean install of x64 edition of Windows Server 2008 to be able to use the Hyper-V technology.
I am not sure how to tell - maybe that's a numpty thing, but I'd appreciate your advice on the matter.
Cheers,
