Hyper-V and CentOS 6.4 - Revisit
Tuesday, March 12. 2013
I bumped into couple of issues earlier. Article about missing Integration Services and Networking Status: degraded.
RedHat managed to package the Integration Service drivers into RHEL 6.4 which essentially is the base of CentOS 6.4. So, from now on the much required drivers are bundled in the installation source.
There are no major changes in the drivers, though. Network status is still degraded and a hint of upgrading the drivers is there. It seems to be a mystery to everybody how to do the upgrade.
The list of integration services is unchanged:
- Operating system shutdown
- Time synchronization
- Data Exchange
- Heartbeat
- Backup (volume snapshot)
This article in Microsoft's social network describes the changes. Looks like Dynamic Memory (ballooning) is the only new feature. That wasn't even in the RHEL 6.4 beta, but they pushed it into final release.
