Ignoring the ‘recovery’ issue of installing many updates, potential lost backups (see WHS BDBB for the solution) and recreating users accounts there is the chance that you have installed ’extras’ outside of the Windows Home Server environment. The idea is that the operating system itself is expendable – in other words the loss of a system drive given that other important user data had been protected with duplication could be simply resolved by performing a server recovery. Microsoft decided against providing a mechanism to backup Windows Home Server (I’m ignoring Vail for now as it’s not a released product line). It definitively doesn’t have the same impact in the home as it may do in your workplace but there is one more issue that is worthwhile when considering the OEM and Home Built Windows Home Servers. That is migrating existing servers/computers to a virtual environment reducing cost overheads, physical presence and maintenance effort. Virtualization brings with it a number of advantages, the one for me that we will be dealing with today is that of consolidation. I’m Red Hat certified so don’t be surprised at my choice of Linux Distribution when we get to that part in the later articles.

I want to have a slice of that at home too which will help with my software development in terms of proving my applications on a number of platforms (read as different Windows Versions) but also allow me to run a Linux server. I’m a growing software developer and a keen home computer enthusiast coupled with the fact that my job encompasses technology running on diverse platforms including the utilization of virtualization and cloud computing. Anyway this is not a lesson of which is best or why use virtualization, I assume if you are reading this then you are familiar with Wikipedia for definitions and are interested in taking advantage of your ‘always on’ home server. Long before ESX (and ESXi) though was Virtual Server from VMWare supporting a more traditional approach of an application layer on top of the operating system – as opposed to installing a Hypervisor on top of bare metal (the machine itself with no underlying operating system). I did consider turning my EX490 into a Virtual Server using VMWare ESXi (the enterprise Virtualization solution) but because I would severely lose out on important storage characteristics with regard to the ability of hot swapping and expanding the virtual disk datastore I decided against it.

There are a lot of articles and posts on the internet showing you how to run Windows Home Server in a virtual environment. Later articles will cover installing VMWare Virtual Server 2.0 and guest operating systems. This article is based around upgrading the hardware in an HP MediaSmart Server EX490.
