This section explains how to run Clear Linux OS for Intel® Architecture
inside a `Windows Server Virtualization`_ *A.K.A.* **Hyper-V** environment.
This section explains how to run |CLOSIA| inside a
`Windows Server Virtualization`_\* or **Hyper-V** environment.
Install Hyper-V*
Install Hyper-V
================
Please refer to `Microsoft documentation`_ to install and configure
Please refer to the `Microsoft documentation`_ to install and configure
*Hyper-V* on your machine.
Create a virtual machine
========================
#. Download the `latest`_ live version (clear-XXXX-live.img.xz) of Clear Linux OS
for Intel Architecture.
#. Decompress the downloaded image. Uncompressed image size is ~ **5GB**.
#. To convert a raw image to :abbr:`VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)`
format, you can use VirtualBox_ or QEMU_.
* With *VirtualBox*, you can use one of the following commands::
> VBoxManage convertfromraw clear-XXXX-live.img clear-XXXX-live.vhd --format VHD
or::
> vbox-img convert --srcfilename clear-XXXX-live.img --dstfilename clear-XXXX-live.vhd --srcformat raw --dstformat vhd
* With *QEMU*, you can use the following command::
> qemu-img convert -f raw -O vpc clear-XXXX-live.img clear-XXXX-live.vhd
You can test your new *VHD image* using the **PowerShell** command line::
PS C:\> Test-VHD -Path c:\path\to\clear-XXXX-live.vhd
Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture uses *EFI* to boot. Since this feature
is availible only in `Generation 2`_ or later virtual machines, you'll need
to convert from **VHD** to **VHDX**. To do this, you can use the following
*PowerShell* command::
PS C:\> Convert-VHD -Path c:\path\to\clear-XXXX-live.vhd -DestinationPath c:\path\to\clear-XXXX-live.vhdx
You can save the new *VHDX* virtual hard disk in :file:`C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Hyper-V\\Virtual Hard Disks`.
#. Download and uncompress the latest hyperv disk image :file:`clear-XXXX-
hyperv.img.xz`) of |CLOSIA| from our `downloads`_ section.
#. Create a virtual machine using the **Hyper-V Manager**:
* Choose **Generation 2** when you need to *specify VM generation*.
* Choose **Use an existing virtual hard disk** and browse to find the :file:`clear-XXXX-live.vhdx` file.
* When finised, open VM settings, select Firmware Section and in Secure Boot
config, **uncheck** Enable Secure Boot.
#. Choose **Generation 2** when prompted to *specify VM generation*.
#. Choose **Use an existing virtual hard disk** and browse to find the
:file:`clear-XXXX-hyperv.vhdx` file.
#. When finished, open VM settings, select Firmware Section and in Secure
Boot config, **uncheck** Enable Secure Boot.
+ Currently Clear Linux does not boot with secure boot enabled.
.. note:: Currently, Clear Linux does not boot with :option:`secure boot`
enabled.
#. Finally, connect to your new VM and start it. You should see a prompt asking for
a user; use::
#. Connect to your new VM and start it. You should see a prompt:
.. code-block:: console
> User: root
and set a root user password.
#. Set a root user password.
Your virtual machine running |CLOSIA| is ready!
