Microsoft Hyper-V Role

Two different configurations are possible when using Windows with the Hyper-V Role:

Running on the Root/Parent Partition

SANsymphony runs in the root/parent partition of the Windows operating system along with the Hyper-V feature.

Running Inside a Virtual Machine

SANsymphony runs in its own dedicated, Hyper-V Windows virtual machine.

The standalone “Microsoft Hyper-V Server” products, which consist of a cut-down version of Windows containing only the hypervisor, Windows Server driver model, and virtualization components, are not supported.
