it depends on the version of windows server 2008 you've installed.
(assuming you've used same x64 rc1 media both servers since you're talking 'bout hyper-v instead of wsv , you've got hyper-v console , running on full installation...)
- if you're using windows server 2008 rc1 hyper-v/wsv v.667
this version allows installation of hyper-v on full installations of windows server 2008. server core boxes could install virtual server 2005, it's unsupported scenario. management can done using vrmc (from windows box), the virtual server management website or wmi on server core console.
i'd recommend upgrading both boxes v.735 if want use hyper-v on server core , manage full installation.
- if you're using windows server 2008 rc1 hyper-v beta v.735
this version of hyper-v supports installation on server core installation. best thing in opinion uninstall virtual server 2005 server core machine , install hyper-v role issuing following 2 commands:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
start /w pkgmgr /iu:microsoft-hyper-v
your windows server core installation restart after running last command , there isn't holding anyway.
Windows Server > Server Core
