garycase Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 +1 ... definitely interested on feedback on this. It's be really neat to get UnRAID running under Hyper-V. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Kosti & Pantner ==> Did you ever succeed at getting UnRAID to work with Hyper-V?? It would REALLY be nice to get some feedback on this ... and, if successful, the details on just what was needed to get it working. Quote Link to comment
pantner Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It does work, but only for the free version. Need to clone the Storage device (Hyper-V doesn't let you boot from USB). The new licencing for the free version means it's not really worth while Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It does work, but only for the free version. Need to clone the Storage device (Hyper-V doesn't let you boot from USB). The new licencing for the free version means it's not really worth while After the unRAID OS is booted from a virtual-disk, is there no way to pass-through the USB flash device to meet unRAID license requirements? This is how most ESXI unRAID users are doing it, so wouldn't it be possible to do so with Hyper-V? MS added some USB Passthrough support in Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V , here's a walkthrough on what steps are needed to do, but I'm not sure if this would work for unRAID or not (uncertain if it passes the device GUID to the guest VM) -- http://www.msserverpro.com/support-for-usb-access-in-windows-server-2012-r2-hyper-v-through-microsofts-new-virtual-machine-enhanced-session-mode/ Quote Link to comment
pantner Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 thanks for the link, didn't know about that. Will have a look when I can Quote Link to comment
JimPhreak Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Unfortunately that passthrough doesn't work with unRAID. All that does is "share" the USB device, it will not let you boot from it. There is also a way to "passthrough" USB hard drives in Hyper-V right now by taking it offline in the disk manager and then passing it through as a disk in the guest settings. However you can't do this with flash devices which makes the whole thing moot for our purposes. Quote Link to comment
pantner Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Been a bit out of the loop, just had a good read about the new VM Manager in UnRaid 6. I think I'm going to install that and run a Windows VM or two that way, instead of virtualising UnRaid. Quote Link to comment
arejaytee Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Are the Hyper-V drivers still included in the latest releases? Quote Link to comment
titanarchon Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Here for this as well. I have a use case where the docker management from UNRAID (I already own and is amazing) would do wonders to have as a Hyper-v VM. Problem is that flash still isn't supported to take "off-line" and therefore cant meet the license requirements. Hoping this gets resurrected! Quote Link to comment
