Generation II virtual machines
Hey all, Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas ... I'm rather curious about something ... I've been having to create my virtual machines as generation I because I can't seem to get them to boot automatically,, or at all, on my current server (it would be interesting to see how my laptop handles them in client-side Hyper-V) as gen II. Any attempts at booting gen II VM on my server results in a "no OS device found, press any key to continue" error (happens on my laptop as well when trying to switch his boot type from legacy bios to UEFI). I'm wondering whether anyone has any insights, because my friend's older (bios-based) T300 and 2900 servers perform this task just fine with no modifications to any of the components. Is there something I have to do in order to make this work so that I don't have to babysit the boot process for UEFI? As I said, my friend has no problems, so I'm wondering whether the issues reside with the unit (another representation of possible defects, maybe?) Thanks for any feedback ... need to know how best to proceed.
Hi, Never had any issues with Gen2 machines on Hyper-V, running 2012 R2 only of course. What media are you booting from? You should be able to run Gen2 UEFI booting machines even if the machine itself boots 2012 R2 with BIOS based boot.

I'm attempting to boot from an iso file in this case, I believe it was, but it kept saying something about PXE ... I remember that, when I didn't even have it set to boot from the network card, so not sure what was up with that ... -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2015 5:31 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Generation II virtual machines Hi, Never had any issues with Gen2 machines on Hyper-V, running 2012 R2 only of course.
