Hi<br />
<br />
I have a Hyper-V host and 3 VM connected.<br />
I have my host set to auto windows update.<br />
Last night some updates were done and the host re-booted.<br />
1 of my 3 VM started up perfectly, this was a 2003 server.<br />
But the other 2 started up with no network connectivity, these are 2012 servers.<br />
I went into host, and re-booted both.<br />
All was then perfect.<br />
<br />
Is there a proper procedure for rebooting VM Hosts, with regard to windows updates?<br />
or should I set it to manual and do the host in a controlled way?<br />
<br />
thanks Terry

HYPER-V VM loses network connectivity 2012

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
