Hi,
I have mentioned this before in another thread, but thought it would be better to start a thread of my own once I had performed some testing.
Following the upgrade to v8.201 from the beta versions, I was experiencing some random problems with astaro running in hyper-v.
Most of these have been sorted with the exception of the driver for the virtual nics.
When starting the asg hyper-v guest, the following warning is produced in the hosts system event log for each virtual nic attached to the guest.
Networking driver on 'Gateway' loaded but has a different version from the server. Server version 3.2 Client version 0.2 (Virtual machine ID D4E0AC64-5481-41D6-9F3C-1A43B2E873AD). The device will work, but this is an unsupported configuration. This means that technical support will not be provided until this problem is resolved. To fix this problem, upgrade the integration services. To upgrade, connect to the virtual machine and select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk from the Action menu.
This would suggest that the driver included in v8.201 is a long way out of date and as such is an unsupported configuration in hyper-v.
Also, I have noticed that the performace of the nics is not too great and seems to be limited to around 30 mbps with this driver. Not great when you have a 100mbps broadband connection.
Given the message above, it would suggest that astaro is not actually supported in hyper-v and won't be until the driver is updated to v3.2.
Can anyone confirm if this is being looked into and is due to be rectified soon?
Cheers
Andy
