Libraries and Library Objects
VMM library: a catalog of resources
file-based resources (virtual hard disks, virtual floppy disks, ISO images, Scripts, driver files, application packages that are stored on library servers)
non file-based resources (virtual machine and service templates and profiles that reside in the VMM database)
A library is associated to a single host group

New in VMM 2012: Library Object Equivalency
Resources (any physical library object) across multiple libraries can be tagged as equivalent
Why use this?
Consistency amongst multiple sites
Maximize performance by using the “closest” available resource
Provide high availability/redundancy of resources

30. New in 2012: Dynamic and Power Optimization
Dynamic Optimization (DO):
Automatically or manually balance VMs across a cluster
Replaces Host CPU & Memory PRO monitors from 2008 R2
Does not require Operations Manager
DO coordinates moves of multiple machines
Power Optimization (PO)
Works with Dynamic Optimization
Balances VM load on the smallest possible number of cluster nodes while ensuring a cluster quorum is maintained
Powers off unused nodes
Powers on nodes based on need and user-defined schedule

31. Placement (star ratings)
Layered technology
Dynamic Optimization
Placement (star ratings)
Power Optimization

32. Placement: Host reserves
CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, Disk Space, Network I/O
Host Reserve (for example, 10%) VM VM

33. Dialing up the perfect level of Dynamic Optimization
All of these are configurable:
Placement Host reserves (familiar from 2008 R2)
Dynamic Optimization Thresholds
Dynamic Optimization Aggressiveness
Set the rating improvement required to initiate an optimization action
Low = 1.0 star rating improvement, High = .2 star rating improvement

34. Dynamic Optimization Configuration

35. Dynamic Optimization: Thresholds

36. Dynamic Optimization: Aggressiveness
Slider level
Means VMM will migrate VMs for…
High
0.2 of a star improvement
0.4 of a star improvement
Medium
0.6 of a star improvement
0.8 of a star improvement
Low
A full star better

Private Cloud Infrastructure

49. TRANSFORM YOUR DATACENTER INTO A PRIVATE CLOUD
ABSTRACTION
HETEROGENEITY
ACCESS
CONTROL
Take the underlying infrastructure of networking, storage, and compute, and abstract those resources into clouds.
Create cloud abstractions across virtualized infrastructure from Microsoft, VMware, and Citrix.
Manage resource utilization and service creation by delegating self-service access to cloud resources.
Standardize application deployment by using templates. 49

50. Private Cloud Usage Scenario
Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage)
Create a cloud from the fabric
Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User
Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud

Actual aggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage)
Dimensions of Capacity
vCPUs
Memory
Storage
Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)
Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

53. Cloud Capabilities Cloud can VM “shape” limits
Host highly available VMs
Allow VMs to use dynamic disks or differencing disks
Enable network optimizations
VM “shape” limits
