Patch required for proper management of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with
Hyper-V systems
A patch from Microsoft is required for managing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V
systems. Patches are installed on the Hyper-V hosts, and after you do so, you must install or update
Hyper-V Integration Services from the updated host to each VM guest. Do this as a precaution
because not all patches affect Integration Services on the guests.
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 with Hyper-V requires you to install the following patch that
fixes the hang in host servers with many simultaneous virtual machine operations. The patch is
located at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980081.
See the Managing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V with HP Insight Software technology
brief for more information about other patches that might be required for later editions of Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 (R2):
