5. 5 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 What is “Virtualizable”? Yes, yes it does!

6. 1. Guest Clustering is supported with SQL Server when running a guest operating system of Windows Server 2008 SP2 or newer SQL Server 2008 SP3 Hardware & Software RequirementsHardware & Software Requirements, Hardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering SupportHardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering Support SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Hardware & Software RequirementsHardware & Software Requirements, Hardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering SupportHardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering Support SQL Server 2012 SP1 Hardware & Software RequirementsHardware & Software Requirements, Hardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering SupportHardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering Support SQL Server 2014 Hardware & Software RequirementsHardware & Software Requirements, Hardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering SupportHardware Virtualization & Guest Clustering Support SQL Server 2008 SP32003 SP2, 2003 R2 SP2, 2008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1, 2012, 2012 R2YesYes 1 SQL Server 2008 R2 SP22003 SP2, 2008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1, 2012, 2012 R2YesYes 1 SQL Server 2012 SP12008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1, 2012, 2012 R2Yes SQL Server 20142008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1, 2012, 2012 R2Yes 1 - Guest Clustering is supported with SQL Server when running a guest operating system of Windows Server 2008 SP2 or newer

7. 1. SharePoint HA refers to the deployment of each of the key tiers of a SharePoint infrastructure, across multiple virtual machines. This would involve the WFEs balanced behind a NLB, redundant application servers, and a SQL Server AlwaysOn/Clustered/Mirrored configuration across multiple virtual machines. These combinations are supported on Hyper-V. 2. Support for running SharePoint on Windows Server 2012 R2 is only available with SharePoint 2013 SP1 and SharePoint 2010 SP2 SharePoint 2007 Hardware & Software RequirementsHardware & Software Requirements, Hardware Virtualization SupportHardware Virtualization Support SharePoint 2010 Hardware & Software RequirementsHardware & Software Requirements, Hardware Virtualization SupportHardware Virtualization Support SharePoint 2013 Hardware & Software RequirementsHardware & Software Requirements, Hardware Virtualization SupportHardware Virtualization Support SharePoint 2007 SP32003 SP2, 2003 R2 SP2, 2008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1Yes SharePoint 2010 SP22008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1, 2012, 2012 R2 2 Yes SharePoint 2013 SP12008 R2 SP1, 2012, 2012 R2 2 Yes 1 - SharePoint HA refers to the deployment of each of the key tiers of a SharePoint infrastructure, across multiple virtual machines.

15. Cluster-Aware Updating ensures clusters stay patched & protected Hyper-V Host Cluster Virtualized SharePoint Web, Application or SQL Servers iSCSI, Fibre Channel or SMB 3.0 Storage, used to store SharePoint & SQL Server VM virtual disks

17. SharePoint Infrastructure within a Hybrid Cloud

20. 20 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 Best Practices Leave adequate memory for the Hyper-V partitions. (we recommend 6 GB of RAM or more for host computer operations.) Use a recommended of four Networks Use NIC Teaming for the VM guest network. Use a minimum of two physical network adapters. Use NIC Teaming for Host – Virtual Adapters

21. 21 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 Best Practices Do not oversubscribe the CPU on the virtualization host computer. Do not use snapshots in a production environment* Do not use the parent partition for services other than Hyper-V. Do not store host computer system files on drives that are used for Hyper-V storage.

23. 23 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 Configure the Hyper-V host computer Avoid running programs such as anti-virus software on the parent partition. (Run them on the child partition if they are required.) Use hardware that supports Second Level Address Translation (SLAT). Enable Hyper-Threading (if hardware supports it) Use fast connections on Hyper-V (10GB) or faster Hyper-V Hotfixes are different than Windows Update!

36. 36 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 You must install the SharePoint Foundation MP first If you download it from the SCOM Console, it will put it into the correct order for you. If there is an upgrade, the import MP wizard will identify this, and upgrade for you

37. 37 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 Make sure the RunAs account is configured Ensure you have a list of the SP Servers Allow an hour for the MP to complete, to display all the info

42. 42 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 Through Data Protection Manager, not only can IT protect their key virtual machines, but IT can also provide centralized protection for key workloads such as SQL, SharePoint and Exchange. Data Protection Manager provides granular protection up to the latest versions of each of the key workloads, and fully supports SQL Server 2014 AlwaysOn, SharePoint 2013 farms.

43. 43 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 Backing up to the Cloud is considered to be off-site.

44. 44 | SharePoint Saturday Calgary – 31 MAY 2014 Conclusion All of SharePoint can be virtualized with WS Hyper-V SQL Server 2014 is the best to date SharePoint 2013 works best on Microsoft WS Hyper-V SharePoint with System Center 2012 R2 is protected All of SQL can be virtualized with WS Hyper-V
