OVH/SoYouStart applies for IP, creates a VM, and sets IP

There is a SoYouStart dedicated server, which is given 1 IP. If you need to open some VMs and share resources, each VM will have an independent IP, which will make the operation much more convenient.

1. Apply for IP from OVH/SoYouStart
1. Apply for IP
It's quite simple. Go to the backend, click IP, then click Order IPs on the left, select the number of IPs you need, and purchase and pay.

After payment, you need to verify the information, first, personal ID card, driver's license and other information, second, verify the payment address (I use Paypal payment information, which contains the address, which needs to be consistent with the information in the OVH/SoYouStart account)

2. Create a virtual MAC address. The newly applied IP in the background has the Unblocked mark behind it, which is an available IP. Click the lock button behind it to set the virtual MAC address.

After that, a virtual MAC address corresponding to the IP will appear, and all VMs created later need to be bound to this MAC address.

In the email for activating IP, there will be information such as gateway and subnet mask.

2. Hyper-V creates a VM
The server is Windows Server 2012, using a VM created with Hyper-V.
1. Install Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012
Use Server Manager - Add Roles - Hyper-V, fool-proof installation (select Ethernet for networking)

2. Use Hyper-V to create a VM
Open Hyper-V, click New - Virtual Machine on the right, and set the configuration according to the instructions.

The network must be selected correctly, otherwise the VM will not be able to connect to the Internet.

After the operating system is downloaded in advance, install it directly

3. Set the VM IP
After the VM is created, it is in shutdown state. Select the VM to be edited in Hyper-V, click Settings on the right, and set the virtual MAC.

Virtual switch is set up

Set the MAC address (at OVH/SoYouStart, the MAC address corresponding to the IP that needs to be bound)

After the VM is started, connect (right-click on the VM, and there will be options to start and connect)

Then install the operating system (same as normal installation, take installing win7 as an example)

In the VM system (using win7 as an example), open the Network and Sharing Center and click Local Connection

Click Properties and set IPv4

Below are the IP, gateway, dns and other settings (the IP address is the IP corresponding to the virtual MAC set in the OVH/SoYouStart background, the subnet mask is the Netmask in the email, the gateway is the Gateway IP in the email, and the preferred DNS is fixed, which is 213.186.33.99)

This sets the VM IP.
