SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) Feature
The SR-IOV feature is currently not supported on Express 5800 Series servers.
Considerations for Exporting Virtual Machine
If you export a virtual machine with a physical CD/DVD drive allocated to it, the virtual machine settings for CD/DVD drive may show "Physical Drive Not Found" when you import the data. (The import itself is done successfully.)
If a physical CD/DVD drive is allocated to the virtual machine, cancel the allocation before exporting the virtual machine.
Restriction on Using Generation 2 Virtual Machine
The following issues will occur when you install Windows Server 2012 on a generation 2 virtual machine.
- You cannot use the physical keyboard until the installation is done.
- You cannot use the physical keyboard in Windows Recovery Environment(Windows RE).
When you need to enter a product key to install a guest operating system, click on the keyboard icon on the right side of the input box to use the software keyboard.
When you need to specify the partition size, adjust the size using the UP/Down allows on the right side of the input box.

The following issues will occur if you execute Sysprep after installing the Hyper-V Integration Services on guest operationg systems.
Issue:
The following types of guest operating systems do not boot.
- Windows Server 2012 on a generation 1 or generation 2 virtual machine
Take ether of the following workarounds if you execute Sysprep on those guest operating systems.
- Applying KB2779768 to the guest operating system before executing Sysprep.
- Applying KB2822241 to the guest operating system before executing Sysprep.
-
- Using /mode:VM option when executing Sysprep.
