Minikube in Windows 10 Enterprise and Hyper-V

8/30/2019

Trying to setup minikube under Windows 10 using Hyper-V. https://blog.tekspace.io/getting-started-with-kubernetes-on-windows-10-with-hyper-v/

I found several articles stating that you need to start it with a switch --vm-driver=hyperv, however this does not work for me.

enter image description here

Command I'm running:

minikube start --vm-driver hyperv

What gives?

EDIT1: Getting stuck on:

  • Creating hyperv VM (CPUs=2, Memory=2000MB, Disk=20000MB) ...

Looks like your old minikube VirtualBox VM is in your MINIKUBE_HOME directory.

minikube delete is also failing because it looks like you uninstall VirtualBox.

You probably need to delete your MINIKUBE_HOME directory completely and then start with:

$ minikube start --vm-driver hyperv

Update:

In addition please refer to Microsoft Hyper-V driver

Requirements:

  1. Hyper-V enabled

    Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

    Note: If Hyper-V was not previously active, you will need to reboot.

  2. An active Hyper-V switch - please foloow the Network Configuration section.

Set the switch you created as the minikube default in the step 2.

minikube config set hyperv-virtual-switch ExternalSwitch
minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv
minikube config set vm-driver hyperv
