Virtual Disk
Inbox solution for Windows to
manage storage
•
Virtualize storage by grouping industrystandard disks into storage pools
•
Pools are sliced into virtual disks, or
Spaces.
•
Spaces can be Thin Provisioned, and can
be striped across all physical disks in a
pool. Mirroring or Parity are also
supported.
•
Windows then creates a volume on the
Space, and allows data to be placed on
the volume.
•
Spaces can use DAS only (local to the
chassis, or via SAS)
}

}
}
Optimizing storage
performance on Spaces
•
Disk pool consists of both high
performance SSDs and higher capacity
HDDs
•
Hot data is moved automatically to SSD
and cold data to HDD using
Sub-File-Level data movement
•
With write-back-caching, SSD absorb
random writes that are typical in
virtualized deployments
•
Admins can pin hot files to SSDs manually
to drive high performance

Increased efficiency of network
processing on Hyper-V hosts
Without VMQ
•
Hyper-V Virtual Switch is responsible for
routing & sorting packets for VMs
•
This leads to increased CPU processing, all
focused on CPU0
With VMQ
•
Physical NIC creates virtual network
queues for each VM to reduce host CPU
With Dynamic VMQ
•
Processor cores dynamically allocated for
a better spread of network traffic
processing
Hyper-V Host

Clustering &
Resiliency with
Hyper-V
Integrated Solution for
Resilient Virtual Machines
•
Massive scalability with support for 64
physical nodes & 8,000 VMs
•
VMs automatically failover & restart on
physical host outage
•
Uses quorum, a state, to determine how
many elements must be online for the
cluster to continue running.
•
Nodes/Storage each have a vote.
•
2012 introduced Dynamic Quorum
•
Reduced AD dependencies – contact with
a DC not required for cluster to start.
•
Drain Roles – Hosts are placed in a
Maintenance Mode and VMs are
evacuated online.
Cluster Dynamic Quorum Configuration
Optimal cluster configuration
requires multiple networks
•
Host Management - Used for managing the
Hyper-V hosts through RDP, Hyper-V Manager,
Virtual Machine Manager etc.
•
VM Access - Dedicated NIC(s) on the nodes for
VMs to use to communicate out onto the network
•
Live Migration - Network dedicated to the
transmission of live migration traffic
•
Cluster Shared Volumes - Preferred network used
by the cluster for communications to maintain
cluster health. Also, used by Cluster Shared Volumes
to send data between owner and non-owner nodes.
If storage access is interrupted, this network is used
to access the Cluster Shared Volumes or to maintain
and back up the Cluster Shared Volumes
•
Storage (Optional)
Used by the hosts to communicate with their iSCSI
or SMB storage
Ensure Optimal VM Placement
and Restart Operations
•
Failover Priority ensures certain VMs
start before others on the cluster
•
Affinity rules allow VMs to reside on
certain hosts in the cluster
•
AntiAffinityClassNames helps to keep
virtual machines apart on separate
physical cluster nodes
•
AntiAffinityClassNames exposed
through VMM as Availability Set
Anti-Affinity
keeps
related
VMs
Upon
failover,

Monitor Health of Applications
Inside Clustered VMs
•
Upon service failure, Service Control
Manager inside guest will attempt to
restart the service
•
After 3 failures, Cluster Service will
trigger event log entry 1250
•
VM State = Application in VM Critical
•
VM can be automatically restarted on the
same node
•
Upon subsequent failure, VM can be
failed over and restarted on alternative
node
•
Extensible by Partners
Integrated Patching Solution
for Hyper-V Clusters
•
Reduces server downtime and user
disruption by orchestration of cluster
node updates
•
Maintains service availability without
impacting cluster quorum
•
Detects required updates and moves
workloads off nodes for updates

Compute – VMM integrates
with hosts & other key servers
1. Host Groups - group hosts in meaningful
ways, often based on physical site
location and resource allocation.
2. Hosts & Clusters - Hosts can be Hyper-V,
vSphere or XenServer.
3. Library & PXE - Used to store important
VM-related artifacts. PXE Server is used
for Hyper-V host deployment.
4. Update Server – WSUS server used by
VMM to patch fabric servers.
5. VMM & vCenter – Multiple VMM servers
can be listed here, and vCenter server
used for managing ESXi hosts.
Provides granular, centralized
configuration of hosts
Hardware – Allows the admin to configure
local storage, networking, BMC settings etc.
Storage – Allows the admin control granular
storage settings, such as adding an iSCSI or
FC array LUN to the host, or an SMB share.
Virtual Switches – A detailed view of the
virtual switches associated with physical
network adaptors.
Migration Settings – Configuration of Live
Migration settings, such as LM network,
simultaneous migrations
Build clusters from within
VMM from existing hosts
Creation – Replaces the use of Failover
Cluster Manager to create a Hyper-V cluster.
Add Hosts – VMM will utilize hosts that are
already under management and not
clustered
Validation – VMM will trigger the validation
of the cluster configuration to ensure solid
foundation. Skipping optional.
Storage & Networks – Select and configure
currently exposed storage and logical
networks
Central patching of key hosts
& management servers
Cluster-Aware Compliance – Ensures all
hosts are patches to a baseline without VM
downtime
WSUS – Integrates with WSUS and
Configuration Manager
Baselines – Admins define patches that are to
be deployed for compliance. These baselines
are assigned to hosts/servers
Scan for Compliance – Scan the
hosts/management servers against baselines
to determine compliance
Remediation – VMM orchestrates the
patching of the servers, moving VMs as
necessary with Live Migration
Optimizing cluster resource
usage by virtual machines
Load Balancing – VMM keeps the cluster
balanced across the different nodes, moving
VMs around without downtime
Heterogeneous – Supports load balancing
on Hyper-V, vSphere & XenServer clusters
Resources – looks at CPU, Memory, Disk IO
and Network IO - when the resource usage
goes above the DO threshold, VMM
orchestrates live migrations of VMs
User Controlled – configurable frequency,
and aggression level. Can be manually
triggered, of enabled for automatic
optimization
Reduces power consumption
by Hyper-V hosts
Reduced Power Consumption –VMM
assesses the current cluster utilization and if
the VMs can be run on fewer hosts, it will
migrate VMs onto fewer hosts and power
spares down
Resources – looks at CPU, Memory, Disk IO
and Network IO - when the resource usage
goes above the DO threshold, VMM
orchestrates live migrations of VMs
Configurable – Admin specifies time for PO
to operate, i.e. weekend, overnight, and if
VMM deems it possible, it will power hosts
down during this time. Hosts will be
reactivated if demand increases.
Integration with storage arrays
for centralized provisioning
Classifications & Pools – assign user-defined
storage classifications to discovered storage
pools, typically by quality of service (QoS).
Providers – Uses the WS2012 Storage
Management API (SMAPI) for the
management of DAS, and external storage
arrays. Supports SMP/SMI-S to integrate
with supported storage arrays.
Arrays – Storage arrays that have been
brought under VMM’s management via the
provider
File Servers – Assign SMB file shares to
Hyper-V stand-alone hosts and clusters
Integrated Network
Management for Hyper-V
1. Logical Networks - Abstraction of the
underlying physical network fabric
2. Load Balancers & VIP Templates –
Management & integration with load
balancers such as Microsoft NLB, F5, Citrix
NetScaler. A virtual IP template contains
load balancer-related configuration
settings for a specific type of network
traffic.
3. Switch Extension Managers – VMM’s
management of the Hyper-V Switch
Extensions
Integrated Network
Management for Hyper-V
4. Logical Switches – Centralized
management of physical network
adaptors across hosts
5. Port Profiles & Classifications –
Configuration & classification of physical
& virtual ports
6. Gateways – Integration with 3rd party
gateway devices to enable VMs using
Network Virtualization to communicate
with non-Network Virtualization-capable
devices and networks. Windows Server
2012 R2 ships with a Gateway in-box.
Abstraction of the underlying
physical network fabric
Logical Networks - user-defined named
grouping of IP subnets, VLANs, or IP
subnet/VLAN pairs.
Sites – When you create a logical network,
you can create one or more associated
network sites. A network site associates one
or more subnets, VLANs, and subnet/VLAN
pairs with a logical network. It also enables
you to define the host groups to which the
network site is available
IP Pools – VMM will manage the assigning of
IP addresses, Gateway, DNS etc., to hosts (and
VMs) that are on the logical network.
Multiple IP Pools within a single site is fine.
Centralized configuration of
network adaptors across hosts
Logical Switch – brings port profiles, port
classifications, and switch extensions together
so that you can apply them to multiple
network adapters.
Compliance & Remediation - the settings
on either the virtual switch or the logical
switch might later be changed, resulting in a
virtual switch that is out of compliance with
the corresponding logical switch. VMM
provides a straightforward way to see
whether a virtual switch is out of compliance,
and then to bring the virtual switch back into
compliance. Bringing a virtual switch into
compliance is also called remediating the
virtual switch.
Logical Switch:
Uplink Port Profiles
Uplink Port Profile – centralized
configuration of physical NIC settings that
VMM will apply upon assigning a Logical
Switch to a Hyper-V host.
Teaming – Automatically created when
assigned to multiple physical NICs, but
admin can select LB algorithm &
teaming mode
Sites – Assign the relevant network sites &
logical networks that will be supported by
this uplink port profile
Logical Switch:
Virtual Port Profiles
Virtual Port Profile – Used to pre-configure
VM vNICs with specific characteristics.
Offloading – Admins can enable offload
capabilities for a specific vNIC Port Profile.
Dynamic VMq, IPsec Task Offload & SR-IOV
are available choices.
Security – Admins can enable key Hyper-V
security settings for the vNIC Profile, such as
DHCP Guard, or enable Guest Teaming.
QoS – Admins can configure QoS bandwidth
settings for the vNIC Profile so when assigned
to VMs, their traffic may be
limited/guaranteed.
Logical Switch:
Port Classification
Port Classifications – provides a global
name for identifying different types of virtual
network adapter port profiles
Cross-Switch - Classification can be used
across multiple logical switches while the
settings for the classification remain specific
to each logical switch
Simplification – Similar to Storage
Classification, Port Classification used to
abstract technical detail when deploying VMs
with certain vNICs. Useful in Self-Service
scenarios.
Logical Switch: Creation
Simple Setup – Define the name & whether
SR-IOV will be used by VMs. SR-IOV can
only be enabled at switch creation time.
Switch Extensions – Pre-installed/Configured
extensions available for use with this Logical
Switch are chosen at this stage
Teaming – Decide whether this logical switch
will bind to individual NICs, or to NICs that
VMM should team automatically.
Virtual Ports – Define which port
classifications and virtual port profiles can be
used with this Logical Switch
Logical Switch: Deployment
Assignment – VMM can assign logical
switches directly to the Hyper-V hosts.
Teaming or No Teaming – Your logical
switch properties will determine if multiple
NICs are required or not
Converged Networking – VMM can create
Host Virtual Network Adaptors for isolating
host traffic types i.e. Live Migration, CSV, SMB
3.0 Storage, Management etc. It will also
issue IP addresses from it’s IP Pool. This is
useful with hosts that have just 2 x 10GbE
adaptors but require multiple separate,
resilient networks.
