I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U...

Upgrading to 2012....Wait a minute.

So I was all gung-ho about getting my servers upgraded to 2012. I had done all my testing on the RC's , had my documentation all setup and ready to go then ran into these issues: Windows 2012 VM Freezes or reboots host 2008 R2 SP1 - I actually read about this prior to installing it on my clusters. I was able to use the same hardware as a cluster node to verify that my shop is indeed having the issue. The best thing to do would be to upgrade the nodes to 2012 hyper-v 3.0. but again there are roadblocks in the way of that too! To backup the servers with DPM 2012 you need SystemCenter 2012 SP1 , as of right its still CTP2 so it is not going on my production servers. To manage the cluster nodes with VMM 2012, it needs, you guessed it, System Center 2012 SP1 . so as of right now I'm in a holding pattern for my production servers until SP1 is released.
