4. Creating an SMB Share From Server Manager: 1.Log on or connect to a Windows Server 2012 computer on which the File and Storage role is installed. Open Server Manager and navigate to File and Storage Services 2.In Server Manager, start the New Share Wizard # Create folder MD X:\VMS # Create file share New-SmbShare -Name VMS1 -Path X:\VMS -FullAccess Domain\HVAdmin, Domain\HV1$, Domain\HV2$, Domain\HVC$ # Set NTFS permissions from the file share permissions (Get-SmbShare VMS1).PresetPathAcl | Set-Acl With PowerShell:

19. Storage Spaces Requirements The criterion for determining which drives are eligible to be part of a Pool are: Minimum drive size is 10 GB Drive is empty, i.e. no partition data exists on the drive Drive is not assigned to any other pool The Primordial Pool will consist of Physical Disks that are not assigned to any existing Storage Pool Windows Server 2012 Serial ATA (SATA) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected disks (in an optional just-a-bunch-of- disks [JBOD] enclosure) Multinode clustered shared-storage deployments Two or more servers running Windows Server 2012 Requirements as specified for failover clustering and Windows CSV SAS connected JBODs that comply with Windows Certification requirements Drive Type Stand-Alone File Servers Clustered File Servers SATASupported SCSISupported iSCSISupported SASSupported USBSupported

22. Storage Spaces Management Interface

23. Configuring a Storage Pool

24. Creating a Storage Space (Virtual Disk)

25. Data Redundancy in Storage Spaces Redundancy TypeDescription Simple Data is striped across physical disks Maximizes capacity Increases throughput Mirror Data is duplicated on two or three physical disks Increases reliability Reduces capacity by 50 to 66 percent Parity Data and parity information are striped across physical disks Increases reliability Reduces capacity by 13 to 33 percent

26. Deduplication Capacity Optimization Scale and Performance Reliability and Data Integrity

27. External Intelligent Storage Array Virtual Disk Token Benefits Rapid virtual machine provisioning andmigration Faster transfers on large files Minimized latency Maximized array throughput Less CPU and network use Performance not limited by networkthroughput or server use Improved datacenter capacity and scale Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) Token-based data transfer between intelligent storage arrays

30. Managing Storage with PowerShell Parameters configured with GUI and PowerShell Underlying storage pool name Virtual disk name Resiliency setting (Simple, Mirror, or parity) Provisioning type (Thin or Fixed) Virtual disk size Parameters configured only with PowerShell Number of columns: the number of columns the virtual disk contains Number of data copies - number of complete copies of data that can be maintained Disk interleave - number of bytes forming a stripe Physical disks to use - specific disks to use in the virtual disk PowerShell is required to access many of the advanced features afforded by the new Storage Management application programming interface (API) Example: New-StoragePool

31. Integrating Storage Pools with Failover Clustering Clustered Storage Spaces require fixed provisioning Clustered virtual disks require underlying hardware to support persistent reservations

32. Thin Provisioning and Trim Requirements Enabled by default in Windows Server 2012 Storage infrastructure that complies with the certification that is required for Windows Server 2012 Standards-compliant hardware for identification Capabilities Identification Windows Server 2012 uses a standardized method to detect and identify thinly provisioned virtual disks Notification When configured physical storage use thresholds are reached, Windows Server 2012 notifies the administrator through events; events can be used for automated actions by sophisticated management applications, such as Microsoft System Center Optimization Windows Server 2012 provides a new API that lets applications return storage when it is no longer needed. NTFS issues trim notifications in real time when appropriate. Trim notifications are issued as part of storage consolidation (optimization), which is performed regularly on a scheduled basis
