1. Basic V90 Server Virtualization
Host Setup
This chapter identifies the basic parts of the Control Core Services or I/A Series V90 Server
Virtualization Host (DL380) and explains how to determine which interface cards and hard
drive configuration are used with each V90 server virtualization host.
This chapter contains all the information necessary to set up the V90 server virtualization host.
The V90s are shipped preconfigured from Foxboro with all cards, internal hard drives, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating system installed. Before performing any procedures
described in this document, you must determine the following information about your V90:
 Number of monitors used with the V90
 Size of internal system hard drive(s)
 Type of Ethernet card(s) (if present)
 Available I/O interface cards (if present).
 Determine Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) hard drive level: RAID 1
and RAID 5.
 The number of virtual machines to be supported by this V90, including the following
information:
 Disk space to allocate for each virtual machine
 Number of virtual machines communicating over the Foxboro Evo Control network
 Number of virtual machines used for Remote Desktop Services
NOTE
Each V90 can maintain no more than ten virtual machines. The virtual machines on
the V90 can host Microsoft® Remote Desktop Services (formerly known as Terminal
Services) connections from thin clients. Each virtual machine can connect to no
more than 20 thin clients simultaneously. However, the V90 can support no more
than 40 simultaneous Remote Desktop Services connections across all its virtual
machines.
NOTE
1. Do not install Control Core Services or I/A Series software on the V90. This software should only be installed on the virtual machines created on this V90.
2. The V90’s own physical operating system environment (POSE) (and all applications on it) may not connect to the Foxboro Evo Control Network. Only the virtual
operating system environment (VOSE) on the virtual machines hosted on this V90
may connect to Foxboro Evo Control Network.

1. Basic V90 Server Virtualization Host Setup
Sizing Requirements for Virtual Machines
For the sizing requirements for the V90’s operating system and its available virtual machines, refer
to the section “Sizing Requirements for Load Balancing V90 Server Virtualization Host with Virtual Machines and Software” in Virtualization User’s Guide (B0700VM).
Your V90 Server Virtualization Host’s Configuration
The V90 is pre-configured with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating system
pre-installed, in a 2U rack-mounted package. The base unit includes the Microsoft Hyper-V
hypervisor with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard operating system licenses for hosting four virtual machines with a mouse, keyboard, dual-head graphics interface, redundant hotswap universal power supplies, 48 GB RAM, one Xeon® processor, two 300 GB SAS hard drives
in a RAID 1 configuration and four 600 GB SAS hard drives in a RAID 5 (with one hot spare)
configuration, and two 1 GB copper or fiber network interface PCIe cards plus four copper integrated NICs. Additional options include virtualization hosting support up to ten virtual
machines, 96 GB RAM, two Xeon processors, and up to six 600 GB SAS hard drives.
You can determine basic information about your V90 (described at the beginning of this chapter)
from the V90’s V-Code.
V-Code is a production code used to identify a machine and its hardware configuration. The VCode can be found on a label on the top of the V90. The label is illustrated in Figure 1-1. The
information found on this label lets you identify:
 V-Code for your V90
 Style type
 Revision level
! WARNING
Do NOT disconnect the digital video cables from the NVIDIA NVS 310 graphics
card during operations on a running system. Disconnecting the cable from either
the computer end or the monitor end will cause video resolution problems. The
NVIDIA graphics card will dynamically reset the driver configuration, resulting in a
video frame buffer size that exceeds the monitor resolution. Disconnecting the
video cable on a running system will have a negative effect on the operation of the
V90. This warning will appear repeatedly in the document to advise you of potential negative consequences.

should be familiar with your V90 server’s ports and external features, as described in “Rear Panel
Connectors” on page 8, and your V90 server’s internal configuration, as described in “Determining Your V90 Server’s Configuration” on page 2.
Before installing any software on your V90 server, ensure all the V90 server’s interface cards are
installed properly and all peripherals are connected to the V90 server. To install a card in your
V90 server, refer to Chapter 2 “Hardware Upgrade Installation”. This chapter provides information on which interface cards are available for installation in your V90 server and how to install
new cards and card drivers (if required).
Server Boot Options
This section provides examples of what you will see while booting up the HP DL380 Gen9 server.
It also describes the various functions and options available at boot time. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the default Boot Mode for the DL380 Gen9 server. The Boot Mode in
the BIOS must be changed to Legacy BIOS Mode for correct system operation. This change in
the BIOS is typically done during setup in the Foxboro factory.
The BIOS setup for the DL380 Gen9 server has user-configurable parameters that change the
default UEFI to legacy support for BIOS services. UEFI is a specification that defines a software
interface between an operating system and platform firmware.

normally for clients accessing these virtual machines remotely, it may not work correctly for any users who log into the V90 itself locally (that is, through a keyboard
plugged directly into the V90) to accessing its virtual machines. For local users, one
monitor view of a virtual machine desktop is the only view possible when invoking
a virtual machine window on the V90’s own display monitors. A multi-monitor
view of the virtual machine desktop is not supported. Additionally, when locally
viewing a virtual machine desktop, the resolution is significantly lower than 1080p.
It is highly recommended that you only use thin clients to connect to a
virtual machine, not direct local access on the V90.
Monitor Configurations
Figure 5-1 illustrates typical configurations of monitors attached to a V90 with a dual-head video
card. Assign each monitor a number as shown in Figure 5-1.

Configuring Span Mode
For NVIDIA Display Adapters, to configure the span mode using the dual NVIDIA adapters you
must use the “Set up Mosaic” feature within the NVIDA Control Panel. Refer to the section titled
“Configuring the NVIDIA Dual-Head Driver Using NVIDIA Control Panel” on page 60.
The NVIDIA Dual-Head Video Card Driver
Installation of the NVIDIA dual-head video card driver is not required. The NVIDIA unified
driver is pre-installed on the Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating system provided on
the restore media and supports only the dual video graphics card.
The driver can also be reinstalled from the C:\Drivers\NVIDIA directory.
