VSA on Server 2012

oikjn — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:24:57 GMT

Has anybody done an install of a new VSA on Hyper-V 2012?

Before I waste my time wiping my test server I want to make sure I won't get stuck trying to install the VSA.

PS: I know it it is listed as supported... looking for someone who actually did it.

I have installed the FOM - and it works fine. Essentially the FOM is the VSA without storage, so I can't see any installation issues occuring.. Would be interested to see if there is any performance difference vs 2008 r2...

slow process, but 1 of 2 VSAs put onto a 2012 system. I'm also converting the vhd files to vhdx . Mostly for the extra protection it provides against vhd corruption.

I'll hold off on performance judgement until everything is synced and back to normal, but the install on 2012 did work once I installed .net3 as a feature... that required the use of an install cd for windows and a little googling.
