Hi All,
We can create a virtual machine in Hyper V server using the simple commands in powershell.
To create a Virtual machine follow the simple steps
Open the Powershell
type the following in terminal
The syntax for new VM creation is
New-VM -Name -Path -MemorystartupBytes
To create new VM
New-VM -Name Testmachine -path C:\vm-machine --MemoryStartupBytes 512MB
Note:
MemoryStartupBytes is the RAM for new VM
To create Harddisk for new VM we can use New-VHD command
New-VHD -Path c:\vm-Machine\Testmahcine\Testmachine.vhdx -SizeBytes 10GB -Dynamic
To attach virtual hard disk for a Virtual Machine we can use Add-VMHardDiskDrive command
syntax is as follows
Add-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName -Path
Add-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName TestMachine -path "C:\vm-machine\Testmachine\Testmachine.vhdx"
We can map the ISO image to virtual machine CD/DVD ROM by
Set-VMDvdDrive -VMName -ControllerNumber 1 -Path
We can start new VM by
Start-VM -Name
To stop VM use the command below
Stop-VM -Name
To check the VM status
use the command below
Get-VM
That's It :)
