Installing Hyper-V Linux Integration Services v3.2 on CentOS 6.2
Posted in Linux Server, Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Server | 13 Comments | 27,166 views | 28/01/2012 21:12

You installed CentOS 6.2 on Hyper-V and you want to install Linux Integration Services v3.2.
Let’s read documentation and see if we can.

So let’s do it on CentOS server.

mount /dev/cdrom /media
/media/install.sh

Oops, we got the following error:

ls: cannot access kmod-hyper-v-rhel6-43.1.x86_64.rpm: no such file or directory
ls: cannot access hyper-v-rhel6-43.1.x86_64.rpm: no such file or directory
RPM’s are missing

But I know they are not missing, just I can’t execute them due to directory permissions.
There is one additional step to install Linux Integration Services v3.2 on CentOS 6.2.

chmod 777 /media
/media/install.sh

Correction! Please use the following if the above doesn’t work for you.

mount /dev/cdrom /media
mkdir /home/LIC
cp /media/* /home/LIC
cd /home/LIC/
./install.sh

You can also try “SetLinuxVM” to install integration services.

Now you should reboot your VM to get VM additions.

I still get the error?

[root@LinuxWeb ~]# chmod 777 /media
chmod: changing permissions of `/media’: Read-only file system
[root@LinuxWeb ~]# /media/install.sh
ls: cannot access kmod-microsoft-hyper-v-rhel6-43.1.x86_64.rpm: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access microsoft-hyper-v-rhel6-43.1.x86_64.rpm: No such file or directory

Any way to copy locally and then run?

Hi, I get this error but changing the permissions of /media does not do anything, it just says “read only file system” and the perms stay the same

Okay I found this worked instead of chmod
Sounds like just a pathing issue in the script. I issued the following commands (changing to the media folder was what fixed it)

mount /dev/cdrom /media
cd /media
/media/install.sh

Hello,

This is from current version of SetLinuxVM:

# Install Linux IC
mount /dev/cdrom /media
mkdir /home/LIC
cp /media/* /home/LIC
cd /home/LIC/
./install.sh

Sorry for my late response.

Yusuf.

Thanks it worked great. Integration services are now installed. How do you go about getting the nic installed? There only seems to be a Loopback adapter installed.

I am having the same problem on 2 virtual Machines in CentOS 6.2 (Kernel 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64) with IC 3.2 on Hyper V (Windows 2008R2 SP1 Datacenter Edition). Each VM is on a different CSV FC SAN HP EVA. They are on a different nodes of the clusters.

Here are screenshots I got.

Hello Fawaaz,

Is that possible to try removing LIC v3.2 and install LIC v3.1? We have same problem on some CentOS VMs which has high IO usage. Sometimes we got this IO problem once in a week, but sometimes every day. I’m going to try same process.

I think there is a problem with LIC v3.2 or CentOS 6.2 has different storage behavior and it’s not working with LIC v3.2 well.

Yusuf.
