Description
With the introduction of user network mode
, Openshift Local remove the constraint on setup a vswitch
to route communication within the machine. That constraint was the main reason to pick only Windows 10 Professional
as a valid supported version.
Now the support can be extended to any Windows version which supports hyper-v
feature.
Currently, install Openshift Local on a Windows Server, which already has hyper-v and its management tools enabled, works out of the box.
On other systems where hyper-v
is not enable yet, Openshift Local installation should fix it by enabling/installing the feature. Currently the installer command to enable hyper-v
only works with Workstations
.
Here we can see the different cmdlets to handle it based on product type:
Workstations
Get-ComputerInfo | select OSProductType
OsProductType
-------------
WorkStation
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All -NoRestart
Servers
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-ComputerInfo | select OSProductType
OsProductType
-------------
Server
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -IncludeManagementTools
Fix
The installer script can get information on the product type and set the cmdlet accordingly, with this in place we could evaluate if we can agreed on support windows server versions
