  9. Enhancements

  10. Hyper-V 2.0 Features • Live migration • Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) • Enables multiple nodes in a cluster to access a single shared LUN • Dynamic I/O redirection • Network optimizations • TCP/IP Traffic in a VM can be offloaded to a physical NIC on the host computer • Processor compatibility mode • Allows live migration across different CPU versions within the same processor family 10

  11. Hyper-V 2.0 Features • Logical Processor Support • Support for 32 logical processors on host computer • Hot Add/Remove Storage • Add and remove VHD disks to a running VM without requiring a reboot • Second Level Translation (SLAT) • Leverage new processor features to improve performance and reduce load on Windows Hypervisor • Better SMP support for Linux 11

  12. SCVMM 2008 R2 Features • Manage WS 2008 R2 Hyper-V • Live Migration • Detects if Live migration can be done • Maintenance mode • Placement of new VM not allowed • Existing VMs migrated off or saved • Multiple VM per LUN using CSV • Supports CSV feature of HV 2.0 • V2P feature 12

  13. SCVMM 2008 R2 Features • SAN related enhancements • Promote non-HA VM to HA VM by migrating it to a clustered host, and vice versa to “demote” the VM • Network optimizations • If enabled, VMM will configure the VM to use VMQ or Chimney, if available on the host • Rapid provisioning • Avoids copying VHD from library • VDI integration 13

  14. Why Migration? • Maintenance reasons • Load balancing • Green IT • Fast migration • SOAP interface 14

  15. Live Migration • No dropped network connections • No perceived loss of service • Clustered Shared Volumes facilitates LM • Leverages Failover Clustering 15

  16. Quick vs. Live Migration Quick Migration (Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V) • Save state • Create VM on the target • Write VM memory to shared storage • Move virtual machine • Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet • Restore state & Run • Take VM memory from shared storage and restore on Target • Run 16 Host 1 Host 2

  17. Quick vs. Live Migration Live Migration (WS08R2 Hyper-V) • VM State/Memory Transfer • Create VM on the target • Move memory pages from the source to the target via Ethernet • Final state transfer and virtual machine restore • Pause virtual machine • Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet • Un-pause & Run Host 2 Host 1 17

  18. VMware vs. Hyper-V R2 Source: Login, USENIX Magazine, Oct 2009 18

  19. Hyper-V Linux VM • RHEL supported as guest OS • Open source drivers (GPL) in 2.6.32 • CPU Benchmark 19

  20. Linux in VM • Time synchronization • Kernel parameters, e.g. notsc divider=10 • Virtual serial console • Admin privileges • 5 Linux templates 20

  21. Consolidation vs. batch 21

  22. ELFms Integration Perl SOAP client HMS AIMS Lemon Virtual Machine Manager Admin Console Application Management OS Maintenance Backups SOAP Services Windows Powershell LAN DB Microsoft VirtualMachine Manager 22 22

  23. Experiment use case • VOBox service – dedicated servers for experiments: 222 and growing rapidly! 23

  24. CC Virtualization Future • Consolidation of servers on critical power supply as the power is very limited • Development resources for IT-FIO 24

  25. What’s next? • CERN fabric managementintegration • LEAF • Lemon • Quattor • SLS • Integrate Hyper-V drivers with SLC • Rapid provisioning 25

  26. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Office Computer Centre Connection Broker Blade PCs PC Terminal Services Cluster Hyper-V servers with Virtual Desktops Thin Client 26

  27. VDI Use Cases • Propose Virtual Desktop self service • for experiment developers • as an alternative to dual-boot • as an alternative to Terminal Services • Evaluate a thin client technology, which could be solution for • public computers • basic office users Jack PC Thin Client 27

  28. Conclusion • Latest editions of Hyper-V + SCVMM in production • Better Linux support • Live migration • Integration with CERN IT services • Fabric management tools VisitourwebsiteCERN Virtual Infrastructure:http://cern.ch/cvi 28
