We are running RHEL 6.5 and CentOS 6.5 as Hyper-V guests under Hyper-V 2012 R2 with System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 U2. If we have the SCVMM agent 1.0.2.1014 installed, should we also install the Red Hat supplied Hyper-V Key Value Pair
(KVP) package (hypervkvpd.x86_64) via yum?
I've noticed that if neither the SCVMM guest services are installed nor the Hyper-V KVP, VMM reports that no guest services are installed. If just the Hyper-V KVP daemon is installed, guest services are reported as 3.1. If both the KVP daemon and the SCVMM agent are installed, guest services are shown as simply detected.
