Module 7: Hyper-V

Module Overview List the new features of Hyper-V Configure Hyper-V virtual machines

Lesson 1: Introducing Hyper-V Describe server virtualization benefits Describe Hyper-V architecture Configure Virtual Machines Configure Networks Configure Virtual Machine Files

Hyper-V Overview 64-bit Hypervisor Up to 4 Logical Processors per Guest VMBus for Hardware Sharing High Availability Features

Configuring Virtual Machines Virtual Machines Based on VHD Files Virtual Machine Off for Most Setting Changes Ensure Adequate Disk Space for VM Ensure Adequate Processor Capacity

Configuring Virtual Machine Files VHD Files are Virtual Hard Drives. Multiple VHD Files per VM Supported. Snapshots Used to Preserve VM State

Lesson 2: Configuring Hyper-V List the functions of Integration Components Implement configuration best practices for optimized performance

Hyper-V Integration Components Increase Usability of Guest OSes Provide VSCs to some Guest OSes Provide Snapshot Capability to Guest OSes

Optimizing Performance Virtual Hardware Challenges Assumptions Ensure Adequate CPU & RAM for Workloads Multiple HD Spindles Ideal for VHDs Multiple NICs Ideal

Hyper-V Processor and Shared Storage Requirements Hardware HostProcessors Intel VT AMD V Quick Migration will require shared storage SAN (iSCSI or FC) Serial Attached SCSI Shared Storage

Windows Enlightenment ● Enlightenments ● Modifications to an operating system to make it aware that it is running within a virtual machine ● Refer to official supported operating system listofficial supported operating system list ● Windows Server 2008 Enlightenments ● Optimizations in memory manager ● Microsoft Win32® and kernel API: Am I running on a virtual machine?

Quick Migration Fundamentals 1. Save state ● Save entire virtual machine state 2. Move virtual machine ● Move storage connectivity from origin to destination host 3. Restore state and run ● Restore virtual machine and run ● Finish migration

Virtual Sessions Per License Unlimited Standard Enterprise Datacenter Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition makes licensing Windows Server for virtual machines easy. Simply license the processors. There is no need to count, track, or license the virtual machines. Includes host OS: YES YES YES Unlimited Virtualization with Datacenter
