Is it possible to mount VHDX (not vhd) disk file in Linux as a read + write block device ?
I have found that qemu-img allows conversion of vhdx disks to other formats, but I am looking for read + write mounting of such disks.
There is also qemu-nbd which allows for read-only mounting of vhdx disks.
But is there a ways to mount vhdx disk as a read + write ?
It's easy to check state of the PromiscuousMode for a physical network interface using PowerShell:
Get-NetAdapter | Select InterfaceDescription, PromiscuousMode
However how to set (enable/disable) PromiscuousMode on the physical network adapter in PowerShell ?
Network Adapters are based on Intel X722 using latest driver.
All hosts are in the domain and the setup is following:
S1 and S2 have network shares accessible from each other and desktop client.
S1, S2 and desktop client have full network connectivity between each other.
S1 and S2 have hard disks attached directly without any third party storage provider.
Desktop client wants to copy a very large file (2-3TB) from network share on S1 to network share on S2.
Is it possible to use some technology like ODX for the file to be directly copied from S1 to S2 with a command issued as a copy from desktop client.
I am aware that since MS Windows Server 2012R2 an ODX is supported with a third party storage provider which supports this technology. However I'm looking for a solution which would provide same effect but with just normal MS Windows storage.
Older versions of MS Windows had BITS Service exposed on WMI in "root\Microsoft\BITS" namespace. However since MS Windows Server 2012 this namespace is gone.
Is there any "new" way to control BITS using WMI ? I was not able to google or find any namespace which has BITS exposed.
If not, is there any other way to listen to BITS events ?
I would like get events on BITS session start, complete, error, etc. instead of polling this information using C++ app and .dll
I cannot find a definitive answer anywhere (lots of contradicting information and very general). With the new version of MS Windows Server 2016 it's going to be possible to run containers in two modes:
First one (windows container) is a classic container which shares the same MS Windows Server kernel and not very secure. However second (hyper-v container) uses hypervisor to provide isolation and security.
Sine release of Windows 10 Anniversary Update few months back Microsoft has included “Windows Subsystem for Linux”.
Is it going to be possible to run Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, CoreOS, etc. ?) containers using the Hyper-V Container technology ?
I have searched everywhere but cannot find an container image with Linux for Hyper-V Containers. Only two available which I'm able to find are Nano Server and Windows Server 2016 which are provided by Microsoft.
Using Technical Preview 5 (TP5) of Windows Server 2016 now, the general availability (GA) is going to be any day soon as announced at Ignite conference few days back.
Anybody got any news ? able to verify ?
