Here is a compact english howto. For pictures, see the detailed howto.
BitcoinMining on Hyper-V is not that hard, you dont need four days and you dont need to be a Windows-Guru *g* FYI, im not selling this howto but donations are very welcome! :-)
- Download and Burn Windows Server ISO-Image and install the Server (no more instrucions here, for Details see http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-install-windows-server-2008-step-by-step.htm) - Download all needed Software and copy it to the USB-Stick - "install" the Portable Software to the USB-Stick - DO NOT INSTALL UPDATES rightnow! - (start Free Commander Portable from Console for easy installation) - install all Redistributable Packages - install ReadyDriverPlus - This changes the Startup-process! - REBOOT - install all Updates, including SP1 - this will take 3-4 reboots (Number 6 in blue console ;-)) - REBOOT
Now the tricky part. You have to installe the ATI/AMD Software incl. the driver but the installer will fail with some packages. - go to "USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\DRIVER\bin64" - start Setup from console with "ATISetup.exe -install -output screen" - install the .exe-files in : \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Branding \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Core-Static \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Fuel64 \Packages\Apps\CCC2\MOM-InstallProxy \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Utility64 \Packages\Apps\DnDTranscoding64 (can be done with Free Commander) - DO NOT INSTALL OPENCL!
Now we're good to install the Radeon-driver itself. This can't be done with Free Commander. So: - start the console and change the path to "USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\DRIVER\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\" - type pnputil.exe -i -a C7119606.inf (inf-file will change with newer/older driver) - REBOOT
If everything is fine until now, the screen-resolution should be much better now :-) Now were going to install the AMD APP SDK, its pretty much the same as the Driver itself
- go to USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\SDK-Package\Bin64 - type in "ATISetup.exe -install -output screen" into console - install ALL .exe-files in USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\SDK-Package\Apps\ - do also install OpenCL64 (can be done with Free Commander)
- one last REBOOT - if you have done the configuraion via RDP, do not log in via RDP now. This has to be VGA-Console - navigate to your miner directory - start your miner. for example phoenix.exe -u http://hyperv:hyperv@mtred.com:8337/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128 FASTLOOP AGGRESSION=7 DEVICE=0
Bazinga! BitcoinMining with Hyper-V Server. Even without CPU-Lags ;-)
Have Fun. Donations to: 15niKNDas65cWLtwYXzxXCJiAqMuxyAs9m
