Computer Management -> Action -> Connect to another computer... -> Your Hyper-V host
Exactly - what he's not telling you is that Computer Management is a completely different tool. It's the Windows tool.
If you came from ESXi or even XS, you're in for some surprises. Unlike ESXi and XS, there is no single pane of glass to see all of the things related to Hyper-V. Instead you have to manage all the components the exact same way you would a normal server. Computer Management handles a lot of them, but not all. For example, you can't look at Device Manager that way anymore - MS removed remote access a bit ago.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH... yes. Shit. LOL

ugh.. I wish I knew this before.. Maybe I'll just use the free version of ESXi instead..

Hey a plumber has a different wrench for different jobs, why should Microsoft be any different?

no - you shouldn't do that. If you bail on Hyper-V, you should look at KVM instead, so you aren't leaving often needed/desired feature that are free in KVM and Hyper-V and cost a ton in ESXi.

well I do want to gain some experience with Hyper-V so maybe I'll stick it out.. I just need to find a centralized guide on this or something.. The way to do things so far has been murky and illusive.. Part of the problem may be that I'm so used to VMware with ESXi and vSphere.

That's the last thing you want. If you wanted easy, KVM is the answer.

IF that't he goal, then that makes sense. Hyper-V is good, it's just that the management of it is crappy.

I'm not actually in charge. I just oversee the tags.

I mean, I rule the tags with an iron fist!

@dave247 said in question about Hyper-V resource management?:
I'm new to Hyper-V Server 2016 and I'll try not to ask basic questions for every little thing.. but I'm kind of confused about this one..
I've set up a single Hyper-V Server 2016 and configured the basic settings and everything and I"m basically to the point where I can start setting up virtual machines. I just realized that I don't even see a way that I can look at the amount of memory or storage space on my Hyper-V server. I mean, I know how much I have because I configured the server's hardware, but beyond that, I can't see how to monitor how much is left, neither in sconfig or in the Hyper-V Manager in Windows 10.
What am I missing?
Just an FYI, you can Remote Desktop into your Hyper-V server, then in the command prompt, enter:
msinfo32.exeThat will open up System Info in a GUI.
-
Most basic tools do run in GUI mode in Hyper-V Server...
For example, the above and also:
iscsicpl.exe
