Many thanks to Arlindo Alves (Microsoft Belgium) has just posted the Jeff Woolsey’s Hypervisor demo on soapbox.  How cool is that?!

Check it out, it’s 5:47 long, and jump to 5:00 to see Jeff hot-add another NIC to a VM whilst it’s running!

Longhorn - Windows Server Virtualization

In this demo you will see:

  • Windows Server Virtualization running on Server Core managed from another Windows Server Longhorn box
  • 64-bit hosts and 32-bit hosts and a Linux running on the same server core box
  • An 8-core virtual machine
  • System Center Virtual Machine Manager
  • System Center Operations Manager
  • Monitoring the VMs on the Server Core box
  • Fire off a PowerShell script to hot-add another NIC to a SQL VHD Image
