Server 2016 Hyper-V
4 core 3.5ghz xeon processor, 16 logical cores.
I plan on running Exchange 2016 on a VM.
Are there any ways to hide to options to delete VM's in Hyper-V or protect them from deletion? By default, it is a little too easy to delete them accidentally...
For my VM's, the option to increase the number of processors is grayed out with 1. Is this a setting in Hyper-V or a limitation imposed by my hardware? Would 1 be enough? The other processor settings for the VM are the default settings.
If the CPU usage that a VM indicates is maxed out, does Hyper-V give it more CPU capacity dynamically or is it limited by the VM and needs to be manually increased? Host CPU usage indicates low usage overall.
As for what happens to the VM when the host is powered down, would it be better for it to save the state or shut down the VM like it was told to shut down? Exchange will be running on the VM.
If there's a power outage and I'm not there, the person powering everything down (there are UPS's) might not power down the VM"s individually.
