Degraded (Integration Services upgrade required)
Table of Contents
Today I noticed that my Hyper-V machines were showing Network status of
Degraded (Integration Services upgrade required).
Just like VMWare, Hyper-V also has VMWare Tools that need to be installed or upgraded. Only these are called Integration Services
So how do I install these Integration Services?
- Connect to your VM (Hyper-V machine).
- Ctrl-I or Select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk from the Action Menu. If Autorun doesn’t kick in go to your DVD drive on your VM and run the setup. After a reboot you will notice that the status of your network is set OK.
Important note: There is a known issue where Hyper-V Manager incorrectly reports “Update required” for Windows Server 2012 guest operating systems that use SR-IOV. Please make sure that you have the latest updates installed.
