Hello everyone,

Has anyone tried enabling Hyper-V Enlightenments for Windows guests?

Hi Spirit, it is a pleasure to greet you again.

Much time ago, you said me how i can add features of Hyper-V in the code of PVE.

My question is in PVE 4.2, Do I need to add something else?, and are all features of Hyper-V included in the current code?

Best regards

Not all hyper-v features are enabled, some new hyper-v features has been introduce in qemu 2.5/2.6 and not yet enabled.

I have send a patch recently to enable :
hv_reset, hv_vpindex, hv_runtime

https://www.mail-archive.com/pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com/msg17421.html

also, they are hv_synic,hv_stimer witch need kernel 4.5 (not yet available in kernel 4.4)

Many thanks for the answer, i wait that with the 4.5 Kernel, PVE has all these features enabled.

I think a newer kernel than 4.4 will be there in april 2018, when the new ubuntu LTS is released.

Hofully, some new features will be backported to kernel 4.4, so we don't need to wait 2 years
