Introduction John Kelbley  Senior Technical Product Manager with Microsoft’s Platform Tech Strategy Team (Redmond-based group)  Field-based “corporate” resource focused on customer and partner engagement for new server technology  Server Virtualization  High Performance Computing (HPC)

Windows Hyper-V Requirements  Description  Hypervisor based virtualization platform  Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition technology  Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter Editions  Hardware Requirements  x64 server with hardware assisted virtualization  AMD AMD-V or Intel VT  Hardware enabled Data Execution Prevention (DEP) required  AMD (NX no execute bit)  Intel (XD execute disable)  Note: Enabling these BIOS features requires powering down (not rebooting) the server to take effect

Hyper-V: Production Scalability  Hyper-V Powering Microsoft Internet Properties Now support for systems with 24 LPs and up to 192 running VMs! TechNet: 100% Hyper-V ~1 million hits a DAY Microsoft.com: >50% Hyper-V and growing ~1 Billion hits a month MSDN: 100% Hyper-V ~3 million hits a DAY

Hyper-V  Capabilities  32-bit (x86) & 64-bit (x64) VMs  Large memory support (64 GB) per VM  SMP VMs (up to 4 cores)  Integrated cluster support for HA & Quick Migration  BitLocker: Seamless, secure data encryption  Live Backup: Volume Shadow Service integration  Pass-through disk access for VMs  Virtual Machine snapshots  New hardware sharing architecture (VSP/VSC/VMBus)  Disk, networking, input, video  Robust networking: VLANs and NLB  DMTF standard for WMI management interface  Support for Full or Server Core installations

Windows Server Core  Server Core: new minimal installation option  Provides essential server functionality  Command Line Interface only, no GUI Shell  Benefits  Less code results in fewer patches and reduced servicing burden  Low surface area server for targeted roles  More secure and reliable with less management

Security  Isolation  No sharing of virtualized devices  Separate VMBus instance per vm to the parent  No sharing of memory  Each has its own address space  VMs cannot communicate with each other, except through traditional networking  Guests can’t perform DMA attacks because they’re never mapped to physical devices  Guests cannot write to the hypervisor  Parent partition cannot write to the hypervisor

Hyper-V Manager

Hyper-V Networking  Two physical network adapters at minimum  One for management  One (or more) for VM networking  Dedicated NIC(s) for iSCSI  Connect parent to back- end management network  Only expose guests to internet traffic

Hyper-V Network Configurations  Example 1:  Physical Server has 4 network adapters  NIC 1: Assigned to parent partition for management  NICs 2/3/4: Assigned to virtual switches for virtual machine networking  Storage is non-iSCSI such as:  Direct attach  SAS or Fibre Channel
