UBUNTU 10.0.4 Integration - Hyper-V Synthetic Drivers Support
Sept 26, 2010
- Enabling Hyper-V (Microsoft virtualization platform) Synthetic Drivers Support in Ubuntu Server 10.0.4 LTS. Updated for 10.0.4.1 LTS.
Ubuntu Server current version's networking no longer works out of the box with Microsoft's Hyper-V R2. The following procedure enables new integration support in Ubuntu for Synthetic drivers.
$ sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ... hv_vmbus hv_storvsc hv_blkvsc hv_netvsc $ sudo update-initramfs -u
- Check to assure the hv_ Modules are Loaded
$ lsmod | grep hv_
- Look for the synthetic virtual Ethernet adapter(s).
$ ifconfig -a
After finding the synthetic virtual Ethernet adapter(s), edit the /etc/network/interfaces with the changed adapter device name.
$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces ... auto eth1 iface seth1 inet static address 192.168.0.79 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 network 192.168.0.0 dns-nameservers 192.168.0.80 $ sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf ... nameserver 192.168.0.80
