New Features for Hyper-V in Server 2008 R2
Adding storage in a physical environment can be less then fun. One of the great features of Server 2008 R2 is the ability to add and remove Virtual Hard Disks on a virtual SCSI controller. I will show you some other new “fun features” that the boys and girls over at Microsoft have come up with to make your experience with Hyper-V even easier!
- Dynamic Storage - Easy Swapping of VHD's on SCSI
- Migration Options
- Core Parking
