Comments on: Hyper-V vs. ESXi management http://projectdream.org/wordpress/2008/10/23/hyper-v-vs-esxi-management/ The experiences of an SMB IT technician Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:17:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Graham http://projectdream.org/wordpress/2008/10/23/hyper-v-vs-esxi-management/comment-page-1/#comment-3445 Graham Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:44:31 +0000 http://projectdream.org/wordpress/?p=430#comment-3445 Good article and I have also setup hyper-v and about to go back to esxi, hyper-v is too much of a pain in the butt to manage and also the almost non existent support for linux is a joke, also with vmware you also have access to loads of ready to download and run vm images to test out. To setup hyper-v so you can manage it from another pc takes so long, and as you rightly mention with esxi it so much quicker. Quick install browse to server ip address , download the client and you are up and running, and I installed hyper-v in the server gui version and that means you have to reboot every time there are Microsoft updates. For me there are just too many negatives to running a hyper-v hypervisor right now, and although I am sure it will get easier to manage and have more features as it evolves, one can never see it being a easy and light setup even in the future, going by how Microsoft always seem to make things so bloated and complicated to run in all there products..

If you want to build an inexpensive ESXi host then see my blog post here: http://www.mikedipetrillo.com/mikedvirtualization/2008/10/building-a-500.html. There's a lot of great comments and links to other sites with several different detailed configs to choose from. Thanks for the comparison.

But reading your blog entry, it really looks like, that Microsoft is doing the same mistake like Sun. With all those visualization products, it's not only about the product it self. What really matters, are tools around the product and the extra functionality, which is giving an extra value to the product. I’m coming from the Sun world and I’ve never seen Hyper-V.
