  1. WSV332 Windows Server 2012 File and Storage Services Management Mathew Dickson Fabian Uhse Principal Group Program Manager Program Manager Microsoft Corporation Microsoft Corporation

  2. Session Objectives • Learn how to manage a Windows Server 2012 File and Storage Services • Understand the benefits of remote multi machine management • Use PowerShell to automate common File and Storage Services tasks

  3. Today File & Storage Services Management

  4. Today • Share & Storage Management • Shared Folders • File Server Resource Manager • Disk Management • DFS Management • Storage Manager for SANs • iSCSI Software Target • Storage Vendor Tools • Storage Explorer • Windows Explorer • Failover Cluster Manager • Command Line / Scripts

  5. Challenges Management Activities • Discrete UI’s • Single server focus • Multiple cmdline interfaces Task based operations Diagnosis & investigation Automation & scripting Result - finding & switching between multiple UI’s & Servers

  6. Key Concepts File & Storage Services Management

  7. Windows Server 2012 - File & Storage Services Mgt Integrated management experience • Centralized administration • Single ‘pane of glass’ experience for standalone & clustered servers • Remote management • Rationalize diverse tools • Manage end-2-end scenarios • Integrate experience where MMC tools remain • Unified management of storage Device Management • PowerShell for all admin tasks Unified Experience Robust Automation Multi-Server management

  8. Windows Server Manager – File & Storage Services

  9. Managing Windows Server Storage Managing Windows Server 2012 “Volumes”, “Disks” & “Storage Pools”

  10. Managing Server File & Storage Services Managing Windows Server 2012 “Volumes”, “Disks”, “Storage Pools”, “Shares” & “iSCSI”

  11. File & Storage Services Management Task based operations Diagnosis & investigation Automation & scripting Multi-server management Unified UI and PowerShell management Unified management of storage • Easy to find areas of management • Wizards guide tasks • Filter to find information “at a glance” • Pivot between related activities • PowerShell & WMI • Storage • Cluster • File Server Shares Volumes Quota

  12. Unified Management Concepts • SMB & NFS Shares • FSRM & DFS Windows File Server • iSCSI • Deduplication • File Systems • Windows Cluster Windows Server • Windows Volumes • Windows Disks Storage Spaces Disk SMP/SMI-S • Virtual Disks Space(s) LUN(s) Windows and/or External Storage Pool Storage Pool • Storage Pools • Physical Disks

  13. Unified management of storage File & Storage Services (Server Manager) Microsoft Applications ISV or Storage Vendor Applications Windows Storage Management API (PowerShell & WMI) (Physical Disks, Storage Pools, Virtual Disks & Volumes) Storage Spaces Storage Spaces compatible JBOD SMP compliant array SMI-S compliant array

  14. Task based operations • Wizards guide key tasks: • Shares - SMB & NFS • iSCSI - Virtual Disks & Targets • Volumes • Pools – Virtual Disks & Pools

  15. Diagnosis & investigation • Use filters to search & find • Sort & group lists • At a glance – information available (Detail in properties) • View & pivot to related tiles

  16. Manage File Server Settings • NFS • Deduplication • iSCSI • FSRM • DFS

  17. Cluster in a Box - Demo • Switches • Quanta 10GbE switch • 1GbE switch • Wistron CiB • LSI SAS controllers • SAS HDDs • Storage Spaces

  18. Demo End to End Management Fabian Uhse

  19. Managing Data Deduplication

  20. Deduplicationbenefits

  21. Target Workloads Windows Server Build lab: 82% savings MSIT Install Servers 67% savings MSIT File shares: 64% savings MSIT Intellimirror: 20-35% savings

  22. System overview • Management • Server Manager • PowerShell • WMI Windows Server Windows volumes …… Transparent access to files Local/SMB/NFS Config Status Management Operations D:\ E:\ Optimized file download SMB/HTTP F:\ Branch Office Deduplication scope is a Volume Cluster-aware: BranchCache enabled

  23. Evaluating Deduplication • Evaluate: (DDPPEval.exe) \Windows\System32 • Runs on Win 7 or later systems • Determine expected savings • Local drives & remote files shares • Examples: • C:\> DDPEVAL.EXE \\Server\Testshare • C:\> DDPEVAL.EXE E:\Test\ • C:\> DDPEVAL.EXE F: • Evaluated folder: E:\Test • Processed files: 34 • Processed files size: 12.03MB • Optimized files size: 4.02MB • Space savings: 8.01MB • Space savings percent: 66 • Optimized files size (no compression): 11.47MB • Space savings (no compression): 571.53KB • Space savings percent (no compression): 4 • Files with duplication: 2 • Files excluded by policy: 20 • Files excluded by error: 0 • Space savings percent: 66 Data Deduplication Savings Evaluation Tool Evaluated folder: E:\Test Processed files: 34 Processed files size: 12.03MB Optimized files size: 4.02MB Space savings: 8.01MB Space savings percent: 66 Optimized files size (no compression): 11.47MB Space savings (no compression): 571.53KB Space savings percent (no compression): 4 Files with duplication: 2 Files excluded by error: 0

  25. Demo Managing Data Deduplication

  26. PowerShell Managing File & Storage Services

  27. PowerShell &WMI are the Management foundation SMB Shares NFS Shares FSRM & File Classification Infrastructure DFS-N Data Deduplication iSCSI initiator & target Storage Management Failover Clustering PS C:\Get-Command –module [ ] SMBshare NFS FileServerResourceManager DFSN Deduplication iSCSI iSCSITarget Storage FailOverClusters PowerShell and WMI http://blogs.technet.com/b/roiyz/archive/2012/03/06/windows-powershell-reference-sheet-for-file-and-storage-services-in-windows-server-8-beta.aspx

  28. Additional manageability notes • MMC managed components can be launched from Server Manager • DFS Management • FSRM [Note: Quota details visible in Server Manager & New Share Wizard] BPA – Best Practice Analyzer available for all components • System Center Management Packs available: • SMB • NFS • iSCSI • Dedup • FSRM / FCI • DFS-N / DFS-R • Cluster Admin • Integrated Server Manager Storage & Share Wizards for a consistent experience

  29. Summary • Remote, multi machine management • Consolidation of multiple management tools • Manage the File Server and Windows storage • PowerShell & WMI foundation • Integrated with Windows Server Manager

  37. In Review: Session Objectives and Takeaways Session Objectives: • Summarize how to manage a Windows Server“8” File Server. • Demonstrate the benefits of remote multi machine management. • Use PowerShell to automate common File Server management tasks Key Takeaways: • The Windows Server “8” File Server has an ‘appliance like’ & Unified multi-machine management experience • Integrated Storage management is available for all Windows Servers • File Server PowerShell support enables robust automation

  38. Easy to find what needs to be managed • Use filters to search & find • Sort & group lists

  39. Scenario: User calls in “I can’t save my file to the ‘sales’ drive” Today – Component based management Identify server Name Find volume hosting the share Find Quota for folder hosting the share Check Share/Folder/File Act’s ? Share & Storage manager Share & Storage manager Share and Storage Manager Find share (SrvMgr) Find share Find share (SrvMgr) Is Servera Cluster? Quota Manager View share properties (Sec) View share properties View share properties (Folder) Clyster Manager Server Manager ACL & Explorer Browse to file/folder (Explorer) NO YES View volume free space View status in quota manager Check file permissions HW- ThinProvisioned? Connect to server with SrvMgr Connect to cluster with Cluster Mgr. External tool YES View physical space – 3rd party Mgt tool Result - finding & switching between multiple UI’s & Servers
