RSI Prerequisites for Hyper-V

When working with virtual machines in a Microsoft Hyper-V/RSI environment, on any supported operating system, verify the following prerequisites:

• Each VM must have at least one Legacy Network Adapter that is connected to one of the DynaCenter boot networks. Using only one Legacy Network Adapter is recommended. If you use more than one adapter, ensure that the first one is connected to a DynaCenter boot network.
• Hyper-V Tools do not support the legacy network adapter on the 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2003; therefore, DynaCenter does not support this operating system.

  Note: For a complete list of supported operating systems, see the support matrix in the RSI Server Installation Guide.

• Each VM must have one or more para-virtualized network adapters (for use by the OS when it is deployed to the VM).
