Linux Integration Services 3.1 for Hyper-V

Last week we released an update for the Linux Integration Services for Hyper-V.  You can download the 3.1 release here: https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26837

Key details are that this release supports the following Linux distributions:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and 6.1 x86 and x64 (Up to 4 vCPU)
  • CentOS 6.0 x86 and x64 (Up to 4 vCPU)

It also provides support for the “KVP” feature of Hyper-V (I have yet to play with this under Linux, and am hoping to soon, but you can read about KVPs in a number of posts that I have made in the past).

Finally this release includes RPM based installers, which is certainly convenient.

One extra thing to note – if you are running SLES 10 SP3 / 11, or RHEL 5.2 / 5.3 / 5.4 / 5.5 you will need to continue to use the previous release of the Linux Integration Services – which can be downloaded from here: https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24247
