Hopefully the Hyper-V management console should now be reporting on the heartbeat status for your VM. While the VM is rebooting, we can eject the ISO via the media menu.
Once installed we’ll need to restart again, type reboot at the command prompt. Issuing the following commands as root should install the Linux Integration Components: These enhance your VM by adding features such as time sync with the Hyper-V host, heartbeat reporting to Hyper-V host, multi processor support, shutdown support form Hyper-V manager, and also NIC, IDE and SCSI drivers. We will now install the Linux Integration Components. Don’t go through the installation again! Turn off the VM via the action menu, then from the media menu, eject the CentOS minimal ISO, and replace it by moutning the Microsoft Linux Integration Components that we downloaded earlier, and start up the VM again.Īll being well, we should end up at the login prompt, login with username root, and whatever password you chose earlier. It might end at the installer screen, as our ISO is still mounted. Once the installation has finished, the VM will reboot. Our CentOS system should now begin the installation, don’t make a coffee – it won’t take very long! For disk partitioning, just go with the defaults (unless you have special requirements) and write the changes to the disk. Keep going through the wizard, entering your timezone and root password. The VHD for the VM will be empty/not formatted, so needs initializing: In the installer you will need to select the regional settings appropriate to you. I would skip the media check that the installer offers as it can cause the ISO to eject.
When the wizard has completed, start the new VM, from the actions on the right, then click connect.Īt the startup screen, select the first option to start the CentOS installer. Select the CentOS minimal ISO as the boot image file, then continue with the wizard. Hopefully your download has finished now, so copy it along with the Linux integration components ISO, onto your Hyper-V host. When we get to the installation option screen of the new VM wizard, we will want to tell it to boot from our CentOS minimal ISO.
