I'm running Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition using the built-in Hyper-v manager. I can run linux guests no problem. However in the manager it wont display the ipaddress. Windows vm guests do display.

I'm not using the "Legacy Network Adapter". In the picture below I'm running:

~$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 8 \n \l

$ cat /etc/debian_version
8.2

hyper-v manager

The package you want for Debian is called hyperv-daemons.

  • it's voted down, because it's not a correct answer. It does not answer the question itself.

    upvoted - worked for me, thanks - I did 2 things actually (using Ubuntu) - first I enabled LIS: oitibs.com/hyper-v-lis-on-ubuntu-16 and then installed hyper-V tools: technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/compute/hyper-v/…

    For CentOS the package is the same name (yum install hyperv-daemons). According to unix.bris.ac.uk/2015/03/12/…, you also need to enable/start the hypervvssd/hypervkvpd. I think the latter gives the IP address to Hyper-V.

The code necessary to make that happen isn't part of the Linux kernel. It's a user-mode component that you need to install through whichever package manager your distro uses.

There really is no such thing as "Linux" once you get outside of the kernel. There are Centos, Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE, Android, etc. Each of those is somewhat different. The exact means to get what you're looking for depends on which Linux-based OS you're using.

Here, for instance, are the instructions for getting what you want (the "cloud tools" set of packages) with Ubuntu:
