Microsoft released Linux Integration Services Version v3.2 for Hyper-V , the set of drivers that enable synthetic device support in supported Linux running under Hyper-V.
Supported guest operating systems for Linux Integration Services 3.1 for Hyper-Vinclude:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.0 / 6.1 on x86 / x64 (up to 4 vCPU)
- CentOS 6.0 x86 / x64 (up to 4 vCPU)
For other Linux systems supported by Hyper-V, ie:
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP3 / 11
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.x
Use the previous version of the drivers: Linux Integration Services 2.1 for Hyper-V
Once installed on a virtual machine with supported Linux operating system, Linux
Integration Services for Hyper-V offers the following features:
- Supported drivers : Linux Integration Services supports network controllers and storage controllers, IDE and SCSI, which are specially developed for Hyper-V.
- Fastpath Boot Support for Hyper-V : Boot devices can take advantage of the block Virtualization Service Client (VSC), which increases productivity.
- Time Synchronization : The clock inside the virtual machine will remain synchronized with the clock on the server virtualization.
- Integrated closing : Virtual machines running Linux can be locked from the Hyper-V Manager or System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) using the command “Shut Down”.
- Support for Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) : Supported Linux systems can use up to 4 virtual processors. Note: SMP support is not available for 32-bit systems running Linux guests running on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V or Hyper-V Server 2008.
- Heartbeat : Allows the detection of server virtualization and virtual machine is running and responding.
- Exchange of information by the KVP (Key Value Pair) : For information about running a virtual machine running Linux can be obtained through the exchange of information by Key Value Pair – server functionality of Windows Server 2008 virtualization.
