How to Build a Combined set of KIWI and EMU VMs (SQL Server 2012 demos)

You are currently reviewing an older revision of this page.

This article describes how to modify the KIWI VM build (for SQL Server 2012 demos) so that it uses a separate, central domain controller VM shared with other VMs. The only VM from the EMU set of VMs that is modified is EMU-DC (KIWI needs to be added to the domain).

Let's call this modified version of the KIWI virtual machine KIWI.V2.

Note: the VM that you use to build KIWI.V2 will need to be a separate activated VM (sysprepped) from the one used to build EMU-DC. You will not be able to join the domain otherwise.

System requirements: be aware that if you want to run all VMs at the same time, this will require 12-15GB of free RAM (not including some left over for the host OS). Otherwise, you can spin up the domain controller + KIWI or one of the EMU sets one at a time.

Steps:

Create the EMU VMs following this wiki article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6198.how-to-build-sql-server-2012-alwayson-hyper-v-virtual-machines-for-demos-emu-build.aspx
Reference the KIWI build from this wiki article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3402.how-to-build-a-sql-server-2012-hyper-v-virtual-machine-kiwi-build.aspx
- As you build KIWI, use the following modifications:
  - Configure network adapter to use IP: 192.168.31.8, subnet: 255.255.255.0, default gateway: 192.168.31.2, DNS: 192.168.31.2
    - Note: 192.168.31.2 is EMU-DC
  - At end of existing "Base OS Setup and Configuration" section, start EMU-DC and join KIWI to the contoso domain
    - note: both EMU-DC and KIWI need to have an internal network adapter configured and set to the same VLAN number in hyper-v settings
  - Note that EMU-DC already has a CONTOSO\sqlservice account setup. Wherever the KIWI steps call for using this domain account, continue to do so but keep in mind that EMU-DC needs to be spun up and accessible when KIWI is running

VM configuration & startup notes:

Make sure CONTOSO domain machines have an internal NIC configured in Hyper-V that is on same VLAN number for domain networking
Follow configuration steps in EMU wiki for additional network configuration for those machines
