DELL 1855 Blade Servers and HyperV or Windows 2008 Core
Hi All
I hope im posting this in the right place. I have 3 VM's that are running on a GX760 on HyperV Server 2008 R2. Each VM is W2K3 Standard Edition. Im trying to move each one to their own Blade Server (1855). Do the blade servers support HyperV Server 2008 R2 and Windows Core.
Thanks in Advance

RE: DELL 1855 Blade Servers and HyperV or Windows 2008 Core
Here's the official Dell list for supported OSes on the 1855 --> http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/osmatrix/index?c=ca&cs=calca1&l=en&s=biz&~ck=anavml&SystemID=PWE_1855
R2 is not listed so it's not officially supported by us. Typically on the older servers there's a cutoff date for testing of the newer OSes.
However, If you look at the Microsoft Windows HCL --> http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/item.aspx?idItem=c6701f4f-925a-ccaf-55af-fe091be94c29&bCatID=1333 ... it shows the 1855 as supported with W2K08 x64 R2 ... this typcially means all features of the OS - which includes Hyper-V and Core.
So while not offically supported by us, it is supported by Microsoft and that means you'll have a place to go for support if you encounter any issues.
Hope that helps.

Hi Scott
Thanks very much for this, i have tried installing W2K8 64 Bit R2 Core, but kept on getting errors when importing VM's and even migrating the VM's. I am still testing and will let you know. It keeps on giving me access denied errors.
Thanks

Hi, i know that the hardware virtualisation must be compatible with server 2008. I'm facing the same issue. Do you know if the 1855 support the hyper-v role ? Thanks
