ICTNWK559 – Install Enterprise Computing Environment
Note: To be able to use Hyper-V to create Virtual Machines and run them, you will first need to enable
virtualisation in your Windows Server 2012 Virtual Machine. To do that in VMWare:
You will also need to add some parameters in the .vmx configuration file of the Windows Server 2012
Virtual Machine. These are the parameters that will need to be added into the .vmx config file:
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”
mce.enable = “TRUE”
vhv.enable = “TRUE”
The first 2 lines you can just write at the end of the file, but the 3rd line “vhv.enable” already exists so
you need to find it in the .vmx file and edit it to TRUE.
