Windows 8 x64 --- Add Traditional Chinese Language into English version

I am not sure whether it is default design about cannot install Traditional Chinese(Taiwan) language on Windows 8 Profession English version!

Based on Windows 7 user experience, I ever install English Enterprise version with Traditional Chinese language and the language pack can be downloaded from Microsoft. So I decide to do the same activity after installing Windows 8 English version.
In Control Panel windows, click Add a language to launch Language settingScreenHunter_02In Change your language preferences page, click Add a language ScreenHunter_03In Add a language page, select Chinese (Traditional) next to click Open buttonScreenHunter_04and then select Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) next to click Add buttonScreenHunter_05So does that the Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) language will be added to this list now.
Click option to prepare for installing Windows display language, I think.ScreenHunter_06But I find out I am wrong because no any language pack can be downloaded.ScreenHunter_07
How to resolve this problem if no exist language pack or no reinstall OS Traditional Chinese version?
I try to add Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong SAR) language because I ever travel Hong Kong and know its front is the same as Taiwan one. (# 1)ScreenHunter_11Click option againScreenHunter_12In Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong SAR) page, click Download and install language pack for Windows display languageScreenHunter_13In Downloading process…ScreenHunter_14After installation completion, select this new language next to click Move up to the top list. (# 2)ScreenHunter_22So does that the Windows display language will be enabled on next sign-in.ScreenHunter_23Now the Traditional Language will show up when log on again.ScreenHunter_24
Reference :
(# 1) When add Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong SAR) language then, please remember to first remove Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) language. Otherwise, we can add the second language into the existing Traditional one.ScreenHunter_10

Hyper-V 3.0 --- Live Migration without Shared Storage on Non-Clustered Virtual Machines (part 1)

In the previous Hyper-V 2.0 version, we need to build a cluster shared storage and do some cluster settings if use live migration function. It is a little complex or difficult for us that must have some cluster skill and knowledge.
In Windows Server 2012, there is one new feature in Hyper-V that is live migration without Shared Storage. It is good news for us to use live migration on Non-Clustered environment so that I will build a lab for this testing.
live migration without shared storage
At first, we need to prepare something before begin to do the live migration lab.
Prerequisites:
   ● Install Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V role on the source and destination host
   ● In the source host, at least one virtual machine is alive then.
   ● The source and destination host join into the same domain, or exist on the different domain that these domains trust each other.
   ● To manage the Hyper-V task by remote management tools (# 1), we have to configure constrained delegation and select Kerberos as the authentication protocol. so the operator account that want to configure constrained delegation need to be a member of the Domain Administrators group.
   ● To configure or perform live migration, the operator account must be a member of the local Hyper-V Administrator group or Administrators group on both the source and destination host.

After finish the above prerequisites, we will begin to do the following process based on
[Scenario 1]:To use Kerberos to authenticate live migration traffic
Step 1:Configure constrained delegation
          (1). Log on an account that is a member of the Domain Administrator Group and open Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in
ScreenHunter_01
          (2). In the Computers folder, right-click the computer account of the source server and then click Properties in menu
ScreenHunter_02          (3). In the delegation tab, select Trust this computer for delegation to the specified services only and Use Kerberos only under the above option next to click Add button
ScreenHunter_04          (4). In the Add Service window, click Users or Computers… button
ScreenHunter_01          (5). In Select Users or Computers dialog box, type the name of the destination server, then click Check Names to verify the typed name is correct or not next to click OK button
ScreenHunter_02          (6). In the list of available services, select cifs next to click OK button if we want to move virtual machine storage along with the virtual machine, or if we want to move only a virtual machine’s storage, or if we use SMB storage for Hyper-V.
ScreenHunter_03          (7). To type the name of the destination server again by click Users or Computers… button, then select Microsoft Virtual System Migration Service in the available services list next to click OK button if we want to move virtual machines. ScreenHunter_07          (8). In the Delegation tab of the Source Server, the cifs and Microsoft Virtual System Migration Service in the Destination Server will be listed. Click OK button to completely configure constrained delegation for Source Server.
ScreenHunter_08          (9). Repeat the above process to add the Destination Server’s cifs and Microsoft Virtual System Migration Service into the Delegation tab of the Source Server.
ScreenHunter_18
Step 2:   Configure Live Migration
          (1). Open Hyper-V Manager, select a Source Server that we want to configure live migration next to click Hyper-V Settings… In the Action pane.
ScreenHunter_19          (2). In Hyper-V Setting dialog box, click Live Migrations next to choose Enable incoming and outgoing live migrations check box, select User Kerberos option if we have configured constrained delegation, keep default value under Simultaneous live migrations, select Use these IP addresses for live migration option and click Add button for using specific network connection to accept live migration traffic.
ScreenHunter_28          (3). In IP Address dialog box, we will set an IP address as “10.10.104.101” that belongs to the second network card next to click OK button
ScreenHunter_41          (4). click OK button to complete Live Migrations configuration in the Source Server
ScreenHunter_42          (5). Repeat the above process in Destination Server for configuring live migration.
ScreenHunter_44
Step 3: Configure Inbound Firewall Rule           (1). By default, the Hyper-V (MIG-TCP-In) firewall rule will be added automatically in Inbound rule when we configure live migration setting in Hyper-V Manager.
ScreenHunter_50          (2). If no exist this rule, we have to right-click Inbound Rules next to click New Rule… by opening Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (# 2).
ScreenHunter_51
Step 4: Move a running virtual machine (# 3)          (1). From the Virtual Machines section of Hyper-V Manager, right-click the virtual machine and then click MoveScreenHunter_35          (2). On the Before You Begin page of the Move Wizard, click Next > button
ScreenHunter_36          (3). On the Choose Move Type page, choose Move the virtual machine option next to click Next > buttonScreenHunter_37          (4). On the Specify Destination Computer page, click Browse… button to search or enter a computer nameScreenHunter_39                So does that the Destination Hyper-V Server as “VB-HYPERV-01” will be selected. Click Next > button to go ahead.ScreenHunter_40          (5). On the Choose Move Options page, select Move the virtual machine’s data to single location option next to click Next > button.ScreenHunter_45          (6). On the Choose a new location for virtual machine page, click Browse… button to set Destination location folder next to click Next > buttonScreenHunter_48          (7). Click Finish button to complete the Move Wizard.ScreenHunter_49
Reference
(# 1) If we want to use remote management tool to manage Hyper-V in Windows 8, we can just install Hyper-V Manage Tools by Turn Windows feature on or off.
ScreenHunter_01
(# 2) What is firewall rule need to be created for live migration?    How to do it by launching New Inbound Rule Wizard?
          (1). In Rule Type page, select Custom option next to click Next > button
ScreenHunter_58          (2). In Program page, select This program path: option, write down %systemroot%\system32\vmms.exe next to click Customize… button
ScreenHunter_59          (3). In Customize Service Settings dialog box, select Apply to service with this service short name option, write down vmms word next to click OK button
ScreenHunter_60                then click Next > button
ScreenHunter_61          (4). In Protocol and Ports page, select TCP Protocol type and Specific Ports Local port with 6600 value next to click Next > button
ScreenHunter_62          (5). In Scope page, click Next > button if want to keep the default setting.
ScreenHunter_63          (6). In Action page, still click Next > button if no change anything
ScreenHunter_64          (7). In Profile page, select Domain, Private, Public check box for applying this rule next to click Next > button
ScreenHunter_65          (8). Finally, assign a Name as “Hyper-V (MIG-TCP-In)” next to click Finish button to complete this wizard.ScreenHunter_66          (9). Now the Inbound Rule for live migration has already been added.
ScreenHunter_67
(# 3) If you cannot move a running VM, maybe we can try to power off VM next to move it again because the live migration also support offline status. ScreenHunter_71
