Learn how Hyper-V maps virtual cpu scheduling from host logical processes to vm virtual processors, enabling free processor scheduling without gangs scheduling in SMP environments.
Virtual CPU Assignment For VMs5:18
Processor Compatibility Setting For vCPUs5:57
Learn how to use processor compatibility settings in Hyper-V to enable live migration of VMs between hosts with different processor versions, including requirements to shut down VMs to apply changes.
Using NUMA Configurations4:04
Dynamic Memory Overview4:13
Dynamic Memory Configuration3:24
Enable dynamic memory to configure startup RAM, maximum RAM, minimum RAM, memory buffer, and memory white to guide allocation.
Dynamic Memory Demonstration5:12
Dynamic Memory Special Case Considerations3:51
Understanding Hyper-V Smart Paging3:15
Page Sharing Technologies2:33
Explore page sharing technologies that store memory pages as single instances to increase virtual machine density; modern operating systems use large memory pages, limiting benefits.

Overview Of Virtual Hard Disk5:18
Explore how Hyper-V uses vhdx dynamic virtual hard disks in Windows Server 2012 to abstract storage from physical hardware and attach multiple disks via a scsi controller.
Types Of VHD6:44
Discover the three main types of virtual hard disks—fixed, dynamic, and differencing—and how they preallocate space, grow with data, or track changes from a parent image.
Virtual IDE And SCSI Controller5:28
Explore how Hyper-V generation one virtual machines use IDE and SCSI controllers, highlighting emulation vs synthetic devices, boot options, write caching behavior, and hot add capabilities for SCSI.
VHDX Changes6:17
Creating A New VHD Using Hyper-V Manager3:32
Creating A New VHD Using PowerShell5:24
Managing VHDs5:21
Learn to manage virtual hard disks in Hyper-V using PowerShell and Hyper-V Manager, including compacting, optimizing, converting between VHD and VHDX, and handling fixed versus dynamic disks.
Overview Of Pass Through Storage2:09
Explore Hyper-V pass through storage, where a VM uses a host physical disk with exclusive access, which limits migration and backups, and favors virtual disks for better capabilities.

Overview Of Virtual Switches3:47
Hyper-V virtual switches connect multiple virtual machines to shared resources, enabling internal communication and access via physical adapters. They route traffic on the host, using loopback for same-switch communication.
Types Of Virtual Switch5:54
Creating A Virtual Switch5:49
Create an external virtual switch in Hyper-V with the Hyper-V Manager or PowerShell, bind it to a host network adapter, and use consistent naming to enable live migration.
Using The Extensible Virtual Switch3:37
Understanding VLANs3:51
Using VLANs With Hyper-V3:04
Understanding PVLANs2:20
Using PVLANs With Hyper-V1:54

Understanding And Using Port Profiles5:23
Understanding And Using Port Classifications1:52
Creating Logical Switches4:20
Disabling Automatic Logical Network Creation1:46
Applying A Logical Switch To A host3:53
Apply a logical switch to a host via the fabric view, select the logical switch definition, assign adapters to form a NIC team, and deploy the virtual switch.
Understanding Network Virtualization5:31
Understanding The three Planes Of Network Virtualization4:23
Deploying Network Virtualization With SCVMM3:22
Managing Network Virtualization With PowerShell3:55
Manage Hyper-V network virtualization with PowerShell in an elevated session. Inspect provider addresses, look-up records, and virtual subnet IDs to test VM communication across hosts.
