Home Lab Hypervisor?
-
Any of you Hyper-V guys tried this at home? https://xenappblog.com/2017/setup-nano-server-as-nas-for-home-lab/
I set one up 3 days ago, was pretty easy & painless.
I then fired up a second instance & imported it to XenServer, it was almost too easy... -

Looks like SA is required

Also, based on that MSRP, you switch to Datacenter on VM #13.
6155 / 882 = 6.98
So the biggest whole number there is 6 licenses.
6 licenses = 12 Windows Server VMs

@JaredBusch I did the math on that about a year ago, and, if I recall 13 was the magic number then.

MSRP probably has not changed.

Correct. For Datacenter over Standard.

Hyper-V 2102 R2 and 2016 for most everything. I have a host with ESXi and XenServer but they are turned off.
