Hyper-v Server 2012 (native) in ESXi 5.1 (actual Patched)

Hi Experts,

I want to install hyper-v 2012 (native) in esxi 5.1U1 (actual patched). I can't see any harddisk. I load all available driver (via floppy-image or vmwaretools-dir) but non harddisk will be listed.
Installation of Windows 2012 Std. or Datac. GUI and Core operates fine. Setup find Disk without loading any driver.
What wrong with hyper-v native?
Thx++

You mean the Hyper-V 2012

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 [FREE]
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/hyper-v-server/default.aspx

from the above link?

Have you tried re-downloading the iso? it could be corrupt.

hancocka -- can you really run a type 1 hypervisor in another type-1 hypervisor?

I don't think you can.. please prove me wrong

is your Hyper-V iso called

9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVERHYPERCORE_EN-US-HRM_SHV_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5

@ve3ofa, Oh, yes because VMware ESXi is special!

it supported Nested Hypervisors. All our Windows 2012 Hyper-V Research and Dev is conducted virtually in ESXi 5.1! We've got Big Clusters running, for test and dev!

just checked this iso

9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVERHYPERCORE_EN-US-HRM_SHV_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5.iso

it installs correctly.....with no issues on ESXi 5.1 U1, using the Windows 2012 (64-bit) template

I have seen this error, when the ISO is corrupt.

what size and MD5 sig is your ISO?

did you use the Windows 2012 template with no changes?

Yes all per default
It's a german version. Maybe ESXi 5.1 doesn't like it ^^

my MD5 Hash is

257CA8B8EA94BA6AFB6417D7F8F6C6F4

I can't download a ...EN-US.... Version

Andrew Hancock (VMware vExpert PRO / EE Fellow/British Beekeeper)

Either something wrong with the iso downloaded, e.g. corrupt.

no issues here with the version I've downloaded.

fortunately I found a old Windows Hyper-v 2012 Image 24-04-2012 in an old esxi4-an-it's-Datastore -amazing that it exist ^^ ...
and ...

there it is ... a harddisk.

@hanccocka you 're right. these 4(!!!) images were corrupt.

Please note: Don't delete old iso Files!

Andrew Hancock (VMware vExpert PRO / EE Fellow/British Beekeeper)

I've seen it too many times, why the corruption shows up with missing hard disk is a mystery, and it still boots the cdrom, is very strange.

Glad you've resolved it!
