PowerShell Hyper-V script: Hyper-V FreeBSD shutdown problem workaround
Mike notifies that he has found an workaround to Hyper-V FreeBSD shutdown problem, that uses a PowerShell Hyper-V script. It has a lot of functions already, and I added a “Kill-VM” function that automates the kill process:
Kill-VM <VM name>
To use it, you need to install PowerShell (Under Server Manager -> Features in Win2008). Once installed, run PowerShell from Start -> Search, find the script, and and type:
. .\hyperv.ps1
Once loaded into memory, type:
Kill-VM <VM Name>
Download: Hyper-V script
Loading
You can install FreeBSD 6.4, 7.1 RC1, Current 8.0 in Hyper-V. In order to do it you need to apply special patch to kernel. It will not hang after poweroff or shutdown command. And by the way network card will work with DHCP. Read here how to do it http://blogs.technet.com/abesh.....69299.aspx
