4. What's New in Hyper-V 2012

5. Virtual Hard Disks in Hyper-V 2012 Windows Server 2012 introduces the new VHDX format for virtual hard disks, which: • Supports bigger disks – Up to 64TB • Protection against data corruption during power failures by logging updates to the VHDX metadata structures • Supports better alignment when deployed to a large sector disk • Allows larger block size for dynamic and differencing disks, which provides better performance – 4K cluster disks

6. Converting Disks • You can perform the following maintenance operations on virtual hard disks: • Convert the disk from fixed to dynamic • Convert the disk from dynamic to fixed • Convert a virtual hard disk in VHD format to VHDX • Convert a virtual hard disk in VHDX format to VHD

7. Location Considerations of Virtual Hard Disks • When planning the location of virtual hard disks, ensure the following: • Virtual hard disk files are stored on a volume that is configured for redundancy • Virtual hard disk files are stored on high-performance storage • Virtual hard disk files configured for growth should be placed on volumes with adequate space

8. Storage on SMB 3 File Shares • Hyper-V can store the following on SMB 3 files shares: • Configuration files • Vurtual hard disk files (in VHD and/or VHDX format) • Snapshot files • ** SMB 3 is available in Windows Server 2012 only, and not in earlier Windows Server versions

9. Fibre Channel Support in Hyper-V The Fiber Channel Adapter: • Allows a virtual machine to directly connect to a Fiber Channel SAN • Requires that the Hyper-V host has a Fiber Channel HBA • Requires that the Fiber Channel HBA driver supports virtual Fibre Channel

10. Storage Migration Storage Migration technology enables you to move a virtual machine and its storage to another location without downtime. • During migration the virtual machine hard drive is copied from one location to another • Changes are written to both source and destination drive • You can move virtual machine storage to same host, another host, or server message block share (SMB) • Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in different locations

11. Live Storage Migration Hyper-V • Enables Storage Load Balancing • No downtime servicing • Leverages Hyper-V Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) Virtual Machine 1 VHD Stack 3 2 VHD VHD 4 5 Destination Device Source Device

13. Hyper-V Storage No Limits & Dynamic

14. What's New in Hyper-V Networking? • NIC Teaming • Performance and Acceleration • Security

15. NIC Teaming • We can connect up to 32 NICs in a single team. That’s a lot of bandwidth! • NICs in a single team can be different models from the same manufacturer or even NICs from different manufacturers • Multiple teaming modes: • Generic/Static Teaming requires the switches to be configured for the team and isn’t dynamic • LACP is self-discovering and enables dynamic expansion and reduction of the NICs in the team • Switch independent works with just a single switch – switches have no knowledge of the team.

16. Performance and Acceleration • Bandwidth Management allows you to easily reserve minimum or set maximums to provide QoS controls to manage to a service level agreement • Dynamic Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) uses hardware packet filtering to deliver packet data from an external virtual machine network directly to virtual machines to reduce the overhead of copying thru the Management OS • IPsec Task Offload moves this workload from the main computer's CPU to a dedicated processor on the network adapter • SR-IOV is a specification that allows a PCIe device to appear to be multiple separate physical PCIe devices

17. Security • DHCP Guard is a security feature that drops DHCP server messages from unauthorized virtual machines pretending to be DHCP servers. • Router Guard is a security feature that drops Router Advertisement and Redirection messages from unauthorized virtual machines pretending to be routers.

18. What's New in VM Mobility? • NIC Teaming • Performance and Acceleration • Security • Best Practices

19. Complete mobility. Simply the best. • Live Migration with High Availability • Live Migrate among servers in a failover cluster • SMB Live Migration • Live Migrate VMs among servers with SMB storage • Live Storage Migration • Live Migrate VM storage from one volume to another without downtime • Share Nothing (SNO) Live Migration • Live Migrate VMs among servers with nothing, but an Ethernet connection

20. Hyper-V Replica • Disaster Recovery Scenarios: • Planned, Unplanned and Test Failover • Pre-configuration for IP settings for primary/remote location • Key Features: • RPO/RTO in minutes • Seamless integration with Hyper-V and Clustering • Automatically handles all VM mobility scenarios (e.g. Live migration) • Supports heterogonous storage between primary and recovery • Integrates with Volume Shadow Services (VSS)

21. Hyper-V Replica

22. Hyper-V Replica • Easy to Setup • Via wizard • Or, via PowerShell • Works with your current hardware • All you need is two connected servers running Windows Server 2012 • No Guest Dependencies

35. Cloud Capacity Cloud can expose • Aggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage) • Oversubscription is allowed Dimensions of Capacity • Number of CPUs • Amount of Memory • Type of and amount Storage • Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)

36. Private Cloud Usage Scenario • Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage) • Create a cloud from the fabric • Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User • Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud
