1. Os X Iso For Hyper V Mac
2. Os X Iso For Hyper V Windows 7

Everyone knows how S-L-O-W and painful the Android emulator can be when developing. The Intel x86 system images are better, but still a bit slow, so most of us test and debug on actual devices. Still, emulators come in handy. In the past, I came across the Android x86 project and thought it would be a good option, but found the project to not be ready for prime time. With their 4.4 release earlier this month, that has changed.

Oct 13, 2020 Obviously, Ubuntu and other OS welcome screens will have different welcome screens, but you will be able to successfully create a VM using Hyper-V Manager or Hyper-V Quick Create. Windows 10 is making creating virtual machines (VM) easier and faster than ever. I'm relatively new to Hyper-V and virtualization. What I would like to know, is the best way to create a Mac OS X VM running in Windows Hyper-V host. I'm currently using a Windows 10 based desktop running Hyper-V to create a test lab. I'd like to run a Mac OS X VM in Hyper-V in my test lab.

1. The easiest way to use ISO images is directly from the Hyper-V host. Just place them in a folder on storage that’s local to the host. I typically use something very obvious on the root, like C:ISOs. Default permissions will be adequate.
2. Check Point Gaia OS can be deployed (ISO image) over Hyper-V infrastructure in Windows Server: Note: Refer to Check Point Hardware Compatibility List - go to tab 'Virtual Machines'. Hyper-V provides software infrastructure and basic management tools to create and manage a virtualized server computing environment.

It still isn't straight forward to install, so I am going to document the steps and some of the problems I ran into.

Installation

First, download the ISO for the 4.4 or newer release Android x86 from the downloads page.

Next fire up Hyper-V Manager. I assume you have some experience creating virtual machines using Hyper-V, so I am just going to outline the setup. If you need more info, Google it or check out this quick-start.

First, we need to make sure that a Virtual Switch is setup to enable networking. If you haven't already done it for another virtual machine, click Virtual Switch Manager on the right and create a new External Virtual Switch. Name it something like Ethernet and make sure it is linked to your Ethernet card, not your WiFi.

Back in Hyper-V Manager, at the top right, click New, Virtual Machine and name it Android 4.4.

Specify Generation 1 on the next screen, then select the startup memory. You probably want to increase it to 1024 or 2048 MB. Also, select Use Dynamic Memory.

In Configure Networking, select the Ethernet switch we setup previously.

On the Connect Virtual Hard Disk page, you can use the defaults, but you will want to decrease the size of the disk to something like 16 GB.

On the Installation Options page, select Install an operating system from a bootable CD/DVD-ROM and select the ISO you downloaded from Android-x86.

You can now click Next, check out the summary and click Finish to create your new virtual machine.

In Hyper-V Manager, click on your new Android virtual machine and click Connect in the lower right.

This will open the virtual machine in a powered off state. Press the Start button in the toolbar to power up and boot the machine. It will boot to the Live and Installation CD screen. Use the keyboard to scroll down and select Installation - Install Android-x86 to harddisk.

Select Create/Modify partitions,

Use the keyboard to highlight New and press Enter.

Select Primary, then accept the size of the partition, then click on Bootable.

Now, highlight Write, press Enter and type in yes to create the partition. You can now Quit.

You can now choose sda1 Linux Virtual Disk.

Format as ext3. confirm your selection, then wait while the partition is created. It will sit at 0% for awhile, don't worry, it will go.

Next you will be asked if you want to install GRUB. Say yes.

Also say yes to making /system read-write.

It will now install Android on your virtual disk.

After a successful installation, you will be asked if you want to run Android or reboot. Don't do either, click on the Turn Off button to shutdown the machine, then go to Media | DVD Drive and Eject the Android X86 ISO. Now press Start to boot the machine.

You will see the GRUB boot screen, then it will start booting Android and go to the initial setup. Step through as you would any Android device with a few small points.

On the Just a sec progress screen, click the screen with the mouse a couple of times so that it doesn't time out and lock the device.

Skip Wi-Fi setup. Your Ethernet card will act like cell data.

If you have a Google account and want to use it, click Yes, otherwise No.

Once you are done the setup, immediately go to Settings | Display | Sleep and set it to never. When Android x86 locks the screen, you cannot get it to wake up in Hyper-V. If anyone figures out how to do it, please post the solution in the comments.

Debugging in Android Studio

Now for the fun stuff.

Setup the Emulator for Debugging

First, we need to enable debugging on the device. Go to Settings | About tablet and click on the Build number 7 times to enable the Developer Options.

Go back to settings and open Developer Options and turn on USB debugging. I also find it useful to enable Show Touches in the Input section so that you can see the mouse clicks.

Next, go back to settings and into Security and enable Unknown Sources.

Connect ADB

In Android, run the Terminal Emulator. The font is probably way too small to see, so go into Preferences and increase the font size.

Back in the emulator window, type netcfg and take note of the IP address of eth0.

Now, back on Windows open a command prompt (with a path to your Android tools) and type adb connect [ipaddress] with the IP address from the device. Now when you do an adb devices, you should see your emulator listed.

Debug Your App from Android Studio

Launch Android Studio and load your project. In the configuration dropdown in the toolbar, select Edit Configurations. In the dialog, click on your app configuration and in the Target Device section, make sure it says Show chooser dialog. Close the configuration dialog.

You can now Run or Debug your app and a Choose Device dialog will come up with your emulator listed.

So far, I haven't been able to adjust the emulator resolution to portrait mode and you can't rotate the device. From what I can tell, Hyper-V limits the available resolutions to common desktop resolutions. There is also no sound in the emulator and I haven't been able to get it working with my WiFi card yet, but it is a great option for quick debugging and testing.

That's all there is to it. If you have any solutions, questions or problems, post them in the comments.

Introduction

Check Point Gaia OS can be deployed (ISO image) over Hyper-V infrastructure in Windows Server:

Note: Refer to Check Point Hardware Compatibility List - go to tab 'Virtual Machines'.

Hyper-V provides software infrastructure and basic management tools to create and manage a virtualized server computing environment. Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 R2 enables the creation of a virtualized server computing environment. You can use a virtualized computing environment to improve the efficiency of your computing resources by utilizing more of your hardware resources. This is possible because you use Hyper-V to create and manage virtual machines and their resources. Each virtual machine is a virtualized computer system that operates in an isolated execution environment. This allows you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one physical computer.

Supported Hyper-V versions

Os X Iso For Hyper V Windows 7

^(*) Refer to Check Point Hardware Compatibility List - go to tab 'Virtual Machines'.
^(**) R80.30 Management is supported only with Windows 2016 server.
(***) R80.40 is supported on Windows 2019 server.

Drivers incorporated into Gaia OS

• In a rare scenario. Hyper-V Time Synchronization doesn't correct the system clock in the virtual machine.
• For more details, refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/virtualization/virtual-machine-time-not-synced.

Network interfaces

Hyper-V supports two types of network interfaces:

Notes:

• When setting up the machine, it is recommended to assign it with a static MAC address. This should ensure that the VM retains its MAC address in case it is moved to another host. You can configure the MAC address by editing the settings of the virtual machine in Hyper-V Manager.
• For more details, refer to Supported CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines on Hyper-V.

Non-supported features

For more details, refer to Supported CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines on Hyper-V - 'RHEL/CentOS 5.x Series'.

• Generation 2 virtual machines

• Hyper-V clocksource does not work on 64-bit kernel

  Refer to sk105862 - In a Hyper-V environment, the Virtual Machine's clock moves faster than the hardware time.

File system freeze/thaw

• vRSS (Virtual Receive Side Scaling)

  Hyper-V can support the notion of multi-queue. This is done by a feature in Windows called RSS (Receive Side Scaling).
  Gaia Multi-Queue on on hv_netvsc interfaces are not supported.

• coreXL - affinity
  hv_netvsc interfaces are automatically affined by hyper-v to all cores.
  This behavior cannot be controlled from the VM.
  there for you can't assign hv_netvsc interfaces to specific CPU cores

• SCSI
  SCSI disks are currently not supported (at least not for the main installation disk).
  Attempting to use SCSI disks may cause the image installation to fail in unexpected ways.

• Dynamic Disk
  Dynamic Disk should never be used in a production environment. Dynamic Disks is not suitable for for VM's with a long life span.
  • Prone to fragmentation issues that can potential causes the VM to become unresponsive.
  • Slower read rates
  • Performance decreases overtime
  • Unpredictable storage utilization patterns

• SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization)

  SR-IOV, designed to provide VMs more direct access to the physical host's hardware, is currently not certified for use on Hyper-V.
