Consolidating multiple SQL Server systems onto
Dell PowerEdge R610 Servers using Microsoft’s Hyper-V

To format the new drive, you will use the Disk Management utility
that is part of the Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition
Administrative Tools. The EqualLogic storage will appear to be a
single disk to Windows. Format the new volume as NTFS.
In previous guides, we recommended that you choose a 64KB
allocation unit size for your drive, as Microsoft recommends. This
recommendation remains, even in a virtualized environment.
Installing the Hyper-V role
The enabling of Hyper-V on your Windows Server 2008 installation
is very straightforward, and you can do it in just a few short steps.
• NOTE: Plan on at least 10 minutes for installing the
Hyper-V role on your Dell PowerEdge R610 server. Each
step below takes at least 1 minute. We provide the
approximate amount of time each step takes in
parentheses. These times exclude data entry time.
1. Click Start, and then click Server Manager. Under
Roles Summary, choose Add Roles.
2. Click Hyper-V (see Figure 16). Configure your
networking as you desire, and then proceed to
install the Hyper-V role. (1 minute)
3. The installation requires a reboot upon
completion, after which the Hyper-V role finishes
installing. (5 minutes, including the reboot)
