  1. Module 12 Implementing Hyper-V®

  2. Module Overview • Overview of Hyper-V Creating Virtual Machines Managing Virtual Hard Disks Managing Snapshots

  3. Lesson 1: Overview of Hyper-V • What Is Client Hyper-V? Scenarios for Using Client Hyper-V

  4. What Is Client Hyper-V? Hardware and software requirements: Management Tools: Client Hyper-V is a feature that enables virtualization within the Windows 8 environment • Windows 8 64-bit version • SLAT supported processor • 4 GB RAM • Hyper-V Manager • Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection tool • Hyper-V Module for Windows PowerShell

  5. Scenarios for Using Client Hyper-V Scenarios for using Client Hyper-V can include: • Using self-contained, multinode test labs • Testing Windows versions • Troubleshooting production Hyper-V virtual machines • Working with existing production Hyper-V files by using familiar tools • Creating isolated networks for testing • Loading VHDs from a USB drive for mobility • Using preconfigured trial VHDs from Microsoft for trial-testing a potential new application

  6. Lesson 2: Creating Virtual Machines • Creating a Virtual Machine Configuring Virtual Machines Running Virtual Machines

  7. Creating a Virtual Machine Important information required to create a virtual machine: • Virtual machine name • Virtual machine location • Network connection • Virtual hard disk location • Operating system installation media

  8. Configuring Virtual Machines Default configuration options: Virtual Machine components include: • Name: New Virtual Machine • Memory • Processor • Network adapters • Virtual disks • Location: The default location configured for Client Hyper-V • Memory: 512 MB • Network connection: Not connected • Virtual hard disk: Dynamically expanding hard disk with a storage capacity of 127 GB • Operating system: No media specified

  9. Running Virtual Machines A virtual machine can be in one of the following states: • Stopped • Started • Running • Paused • Saved Virtual machines can be exported and imported between Client Hyper-V and Hyper-V environments

  10. Lesson 3: Managing Virtual Hard Disks • What Is a Virtual Hard Disk? Configuring a Virtual Hard Disk

  11. What Is a Virtual Hard Disk? A VHD provides storage for a virtual machine, and is represented and used just like a physical disk within the virtual machine VHDs in Windows 8: • Are available in two types: IDE and SCSI • Support the VHDX format • Can be created as fixed-size or dynamically expanding drives

  12. Configuring a Virtual Hard Disk When planning virtual hard disks: • Implement storage solutions with multiplehard drives to distribute disk I/O • Use fast hard drives • Consider deploying a SAN for VHD storage • Implement iSCSI SANs for a less expensive storage solution • Avoid scanning virtual hard disk files with antivirus software, or use virtualization-awareanti-virus software

  13. Lesson 4: Managing Snapshots • What Is a Snapshot? Creating and Managing Snapshots Considerations for Working with Snapshots

  14. What Is a Snapshot? Snapshots: Snapshot files: • Virtual machine configuration .XML file • Are a point-in-time copy of a virtual machine • Do not affect the running state of a virtual machine • Save state files • Differencing disk (.AVHD)

  15. Creating and Managing Snapshots Manage snapshot options: • Create a snapshot • View a snapshot • Snapshot settings • Apply a snapshot • Rename a snapshot • Delete a snapshot • Subtree • Revert

  16. Considerations for Working with Snapshots Snapshots: • Should not be used in production environments • Should be used in testing and training environments • May consume a significant amount of hard disk space • Can have unexpected results when deleted

  17. Lab: Implementing Hyper-V • Exercise 1: Installing Client Hyper-V Exercise 2: Creating a Virtual Network and Virtual Machine Logon Information No virtual machines are required for this exercise Estimated time: 60 minutes To perform this lab, you must boot the host computer to 20687B-LON-CL5. To do this, restart the host computer and choose 208678B-LON-CL5 from the boot menu. Sign in as Adatum\Administrator and the password Pa$$w0rd.

  18. Lab Setup The IT department at A. Datum wants to test several applications in different operating system environments prior to certifying the applications for the environment. Several members of the application testing team have expressed interest in creating virtual environments on their Windows 8 desktops where they can create and configure virtual machines. You have been asked to demonstrate the process of creating an environment where the applications can be tested.

  19. Lab Review • Why did you have to boot from a Windows 8 VHD file in order to complete this lab? In the lab, you configured created a private virtual network to connect the virtual machine to. Would a private network type be the logical choice if you were using the virtual machine for testing Windows Updates? Why or why not?

  20. Module Review and Takeaways • Review Questions Tools
