Creating a Virtual Machine

Overview

In this exercise, you will create a virtual machine called VM1.

Mindset

A virtual machine (VM) is a self-contained, isolated unit that can be easily moved from one physical computer to another, runs its own operating system, and includes its own virtual hardware configuration. Within the Hyper-V Manager console, you can create virtual machines, import VMs (Action > Import Virtual Machine), and create virtual hard disks (Action > New > Virtual Hard Disk) to be used by VMs or by the host PC.

Lab Challenge

Configuring Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Support

Overview

In this exercise, you will configure the NUMA support settings based on the current hardware.

Mindset

Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) is a computer system architecture that is used with multiprocessor designs that organizes memory into regions; these regions are assigned access latencies based on how these larger systems’ processors and memory are interconnected. For large multiprocessor systems, NUMA organizes memory and processors into groups called NUMA nodes.
