How to load IP Office Application Server on Microsoft Hyper-V 1

[gkittelson]

I have a lot of clients using Microsoft Servers and although Avaya doesn't support using the Application Server on Hyper-V I have wanted to use it. I wanted to share my instructions on how to load and run the IP Office Application Server on Microsoft Hyper-V.

How to load IP Office in Hyper-V
1) Create a Hyper-V virtual machine
2) In settings, click on network adapter and remove it
3) In settings, add hardware, legacy network adapter
4) Change processors to four or more
5) Start machine and run setup from DVD image (mouse will not work)
6) When installation is complete eject the DVD image and let it reboot
7) Download the Linux integration services package from Microsoft

8) Insert the disc image and start the server
9) type "login" and login with Administrator Administrator
10) Type sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media
11) Type cd /media/RHEL63 (this is case sensitive)
12) Type sudo ./install.sh
13) After this completes (it will take awhile) type reboot and reboot the VM
14) After it comes back up shut it down using the VM interface button - this demonstrates that Linux integration installed properly
15) Go to settings and add a "normal" network adapter and start the VM
16) When it boots you will see two NICs, shut down the VM and in settings remove the legacy network adapter
17) Start the VM and it will boot and then reboot and when it comes up it will have the correct address on the HyperV adapter
18) Use the server!

Write a FAQ for it, here your instructions will fade away.
Thanks for sharing anyway, we appreciate that.

The Linux integration is not always needed for it to work, but you won't get mouse input and will struggle when RDP to the host server to control the Linux.

Good info though for those that haven't played. Do the FAQ!!

On a side note. I did argue the point that Avaya say they support the machines that Red Hat is supported to run on, which Hyper-V is listed. I did argue the point at trial that this makes HV supportable. Hit a brick Wall!!!!
