The Linux Integration Components for Hyper-V are back onto the connect website
When installed into a virtual machine running a supported Linux operating system, the Linux Integration Components for Hyper-V provide the following functionality:
- Driver support for synthetic devices: The Linux integration components include support for both the synthetic network controller and synthetic storage controller that have been developed specifically for Hyper-V. These components take advantage of the new high-speed bus, VMBus, which was developed for Hyper-V.
- Hypercall adapter: The Hypercall adapter is a thin layer of software that translates the Xen-specific virtualization function calls from a Xen-enabled Linux kernel to Microsoft Hyper-V hypercalls. This results in improved performance for the Linux virtual machine.
- Fastpath Boot Support: Boot devices now take advantage of the storage VSC to provide enhanced performance.
Supported Operating systems
The Linux integration components support the following guest operating systems:
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 x86
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 x64
