Difficulty: Medium Essay Questions [Question] Describe at least four examples of virtualization given in the chapter. Answer: Examples of virtualization listed in the chapter include virtual world, virtual reality, storage virtualization, network virtualization, server virtualization, desktop virtualization, virtual machine, and application virtualization. (1) A virtual world is a simulated time and place. When a virtual world involves other senses beyond sight and sound, it becomes virtual reality in which the participant feels present in the virtual world. (2) Storage virtualization makes multiple networked storage devices appear to be one. (3) Network virtualization involves creating a network addressing space existing within one or more physical networks. [This definition of network virtualization should be expanded to include the virtual networks created by Hyper-V virtual switches]. (4) Server virtualization and desktop virtualization both create virtual computer hardware in which server or desktop operating systems and their apps can exist. (5) A virtual machine is a simulation of computer hardware. Page: 80 Difficulty: Medium [Question] Explain the difference between virtual reality and augmented reality.

Page: 80 Difficulty: Difficult [Question] List at least three of the major sources of hypervisors and point out the ones used in the Step-by-Steps in Chapter 3. If you are aware of the use of hypervisors at school or work, describe them. Answer: Major sources of hypervisors are Citrix, VMware, Parallels, Microsoft, and Oracle. The free hypervisors used in the Step-by-Steps in Chapter 3 are Microsoft Hyper-V, only available for the Pro and Enterprise editions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Page: 83 Difficulty: Medium [Question] The Step-by-Step exercises in Chapter 3 instructed you to accept the default configuration settings for the virtual machines you created. Describe the virtual hardware components that you can optionally size when you create a virtual machine and why you might choose to do so. Answer: The two virtual hardware components you can optionally size are memory and storage space. I might opt to increase both if I planned to run applications in the VMs that require more memory and storage space. Of course, this would depend on the memory and storage capacity of the host computer. Page: 84 Difficulty: Medium [Question] Describe the two tasks required to connect a virtual machine in Microsoft Hyper-V to a network. Answer: The first task required to connect a VM in Microsoft Client Hyper-V to a network is to create a virtual switch using the Virtual Switch Manager available in the Hyper-V Manager. This step will not be necessary for every VM because a single virtual switch can be used by multiple VMs on the same host, but part of creating a virtual switch is selecting the type of virtual switch (external, internal, or private). An external virtual switch allows the VM clients to access a physical network. An internal virtual switch allows VM clients to connect with other clients running on the same physical computer as the virtual switch with no

connectivity to a physical network, but they may also connect to the physical computer hosting the VMs and the switch. A private virtual switch is like an internal virtual switch except the VMs connecting to a private virtual switch cannot connect to the physical computer hosting the VMs. The second step required to connect a VM in Microsoft Client Hyper-V to a network is to connect the VM’s network adapter to a virtual switch. This step is done by opening the Hyper-V Manager. In the Virtual Machines pane, click on the virtual machine you wish to connect. Under Actions in the right pane, avoid the actions at the top, which are for the host computer, and scroll down to the actions for the selected virtual machine and click on Settings. This opens the Setting dialog for the virtual machine. In the left pane click on Network Adapter; in the right-hand pane, click on the dropdown box under Virtual switch, and then click on the switch you created. Click the OK button. Page: 89-91 Difficulty: Difficult [Question] Explain how to enable Client Hyper-V in Windows 10. Answer: Enter “Windows features” in the Taskbar search box.

Ensure that each of the three boxes have checks in them. Then click the OK button. Wait for the files to be found and installed. When the Windows Features dialog box prompts with the message that the requested change was completed, select Restart Now. After the restart, sign in and click the Start button. They Hyper-V Manager will appear in the list of programs under Recently added unless it was previously enabled. In that case, look for it in the Start menu’s Apps list under Windows Administrative Tools. Page: 84 Difficulty: Difficult [Question] . Page: 83 Difficulty: Difficult [Question] You have installed a hypervisor, created a virtual machine, installed a client OS, and installed guest utilities. What remains to be done before you work in the guest OS? Answer: Once the client OS is installed and any necessary guest utilities installed into the OS, it is time to install security software, and then the application software needed in the virtual machine—going back to the reason for creating a virtual machine. If it is a test environment for new apps, install them and test them. If it is an environment for a programmer, install the programming tools required. Page: 85 Difficulty: Medium [Question] You have decided to no longer use Hyper-V on a Windows 10 Pro computer. Describe how you would “decommission” Hyper-V.

[Question] Describe the Full Screen and Split View features of macOS, how to access them, and how to close one of these views. Answer: The Full Screen feature is app-related, meaning that a macOS must be capable of opening full screen and taking up the entire desktop, including covering the menu bar. The Split View feature allows two Full Screen apps to share the macOS desktop. The key to using these features is the green menu button on the top left of an app window. Click this button once to make the app full screen. Both the menu bar and the green button disappear when an app is in full screen mode. Move the cursor to the top edge of the screen to access the menu bar. Here, you can access the menus or exit full-screen view by clicking the green button on the app window.

Page: 248 Difficulty: Medium [Question] Describe what the trade press called the “UNIX wars” and the organizations involved.

Page: 249 Difficulty: Difficult [Question] Defend or dispute the statement: When you start Linux, if you do not see a log in screen or prompt, you are not logged in as a user. Answer: I dispute the statement because in Linux you are always logged in as a user—even when you do not see a login page or prompt and do not enter a username and credentials. For instance, when you run a live image of Linux, you are automatically logged in as the Guest. Another example is when, during Linux install, you create a user and provide a password for that user but opt for the Automatic Login option. Then, you will not need to enter a password to log in and will go directly to the desktop (or command prompt). However, if you attempt to make a significant settings change or install software, you will be prompted for the password for the currently logged in user (you). Page: 259 Difficulty: Difficult
