Here you should add an installer image into the virtual machine. Then click on Next button. Specify which operating system type you want to install on the virtual machine. Select Windows Server version from the dropdown menu and click on Next button. Enter a name for the virtual machine and browse a place where you want to store the installation files.

For the purpose click on Browse button and specify the place. When finished, click on Next button. On the Processor Configuration specify then number of processors your server need to use and click on Next button. Also notice that it refers to your virtual machine speed that how much speed the server should be.

Specify the amount of the memory for the virtual machine based on MB and click on Next button. Then hit N ext. Now to create new virtual disk, select create a new virtual disk for the virtual machine.

Specify the disk amount by typing the disk size Recommended 60 GB and click on Next button. Open VMware Workstation on your host computer.

Click on Power on this virtual machine in top left. When the virtual machine powered on, specify the language , time zone and keyboard then click Next. Install now to install the windows server on virtual machine. Put a mark in the box next to I accept the license terms, then click on the Next button.

Go on and click on the Custom: Install Windows only Advanced option for installing the server custom. Select the disk, you want to install the widows on and select the disk , click on New , then specify the amount based on MB and click on Apply button then click on Next button.

Now the server copies all the files to the disk, amount the files from the windows image, install features, updates, so it will take time and when finished it will reboot. After the reboot, type a complex password composed of uppercase, lowercase, symbols and numbers and click on Finish button.

The Windows server is installed successfully and your server is now ready to work now. For any questions, leave a comment. I am going through the exact whole process as mentioned for installing the windows server. After copying the files and installing the update, it reboots and straightaway gives the blue screen your PC ran into a Problem. But clients are clients. The life of an IT consultant is dependant of the client's will.

Ok Let's get back to our setup. I have few free Hyper-V running in my lab as VMs and when you think how for example you install the VM tools in such VMs, it's actually brought up the graphical window of the application to proceed.

A GUI pops-up with the installer allowing to install the product. The StarWind Management console, however, needs to be executed from a remote system. No Node limit, no capacity limit. StarWind will take the local disks of each of the Hyper-V host and presents them as a shared storage mirrored from one side to another — thus assuring HA.

In fact you can do the same for VMware also free for 2 nodes where you, however, would need two Windows VMs which would be the destination for the Starwind SAN software, because Starwind needs to be installed on Windows. A screenshot from StarWind's site showing the actual setup. But in this article we will focus only on the Hyper-V model. The question here is not to think of it as a enterprise scale solution but rather a lab setup or very small shop with no IT budget as obviously in such a cases you won't get much support in case anything goes wrong.

That's not the question today as we would like to focus on it as a free solution. Now, if you're doing it with a real hardware and you thinking of it as a production environment, you should definitely follow StarWind's guidelines on that. In my case the Hyper-V runs as a VM but in real life it would, of course, be sitting on some physical hardware because it's intended to run some VMs, right?

But in my case it's just for the lab exercise ant test. So first what you need to do is to actually copy the starwind-v8. Use the default values and finish the installer. I checked all features. By default, only the Loopback Accelerator Driver was checked. Note that I should have mentioned that when copying the Starwind executable you should have also copy the license file so you can apply that. During the installation you'll be asked for it! Next we need to create partition in each of the Hyper-V hosts, on the disk that we would like to mirror.

First get the list of disks present in the system and select the disk where you want to create partition:. Update : In case you get error that the media is write protected, just run this command:. I know, one must type those command as there is no GUI. Well, that's the way it is. You pay the price of this free Hyper-V software by having no tools to manage it. But you already know that…. Just use this command:.

You don't have to use Windows for StarWind console. When installing on a system with Windows with a GUI the StarWind installer behaves quite differently as it proposes the console check boxes.

I just want to show up here that the installer looks a bit differently than when executed on the Hyper-V core as here we now have the console options pre-checked. Again, apply the license entitling you for free management of two nodes. We can see that there is quite a few steps to accomplish and we need to switch between consoles quite often too.

If the Hyper-V standard console would allow the local disk management then it would have been much easier. I see that this post gets quite large so I'll do the rest in a follow up post.

What we have done so far was quite a few steps:. Connect on: Facebook. Feel free to network via Twitter vladan. Thanks for those kind words. Yes, corefig. Why not. This version is distributed freely. On official site of Star Wind I have found document — starwind-virtual-san-free. StarWind allows production use which is a huge differentiation point.

Solution is self-supported and community-supported on StarWind publically open discussion forums. Hardware-less Hyper-Converged installation option is also possible with a paid version. Free deployment can be easily turned into paid one with a simple license upgrade. No downtime would happen and no data migration is required!

In Starwind support said me that I should use trial not free license. Is there any change in this? What you actually miss here is that as of now it is not allowed to do so from a Microsoft licensing perspective.
