PowerEdge 1850 (or 1750/750) and windows 2008 with hyper-V
Hi,
I have some 1850 (witchs is not that old) and i wanted to use this for windows 2008 with Hyper-V
I have installed windows 2008 with no problems..
Its 64 bits version..
But, I cant enable Hyper-V role, its compling about it does not support virtual technology.
and that I have to do something in the BIOS.
I have updated the bios from A04 to A07 with no luck.
The server works with vmware with no problems..
What can i DO??????

Yes, i have also 1750, 1850, 1950 and up, in vmware lab/prod. and this is working _very_ good.
The challange is, that my company is Microsoft's right hand, and we are die'ing to sell MS produkts.
Since windows 2008 and hyper-v does not run on etc 1850, witch is not that old, i will having problems seeing where I actually can use Hyper-V instead of vmware.
I think this is very bad.
I undertand that the chipset inside the CPU prefereed a spescial chipset to use hyper-v, but IF MS want to start competite vmware, they should have made a hyper-v version that runs on 1850. :-)
I guess you know what i mean. :-)
TNX for god information.

I know exactly where you are coming from. As for a product which is similar to VMWare from Microsoft you can use Virtual Server 2005 R2 on the 1850, but it only supports 32 bit & getting a non Wintel OS to install is like pulling teeth. I think MS is just trying to compete with VMware higher end products with Hyper-V.
