1 Microsoft Virtual Academy Module 8 Managing the Infrastructure with VMM

2 Module Overview Managing Networking Infrastructure Managing Storage Infrastructure Managing Infrastructure Updates Hyper-V Clustering

3 Lesson 1: Managing Networking Infrastructure Working with Virtualization Infrastructure What Is Networking Infrastructure? Configuring Ports and Logical Switches in Virtual Machine Manager Using Virtual Machine Networks for Isolating Networking

4 Working with Virtualization Infrastructure VMM infrastructure contains the components that make the virtualization environment, which are: VMM infrastructure servers (any with a VMM agent) Library servers, Hosts servers (and host groups), PXE servers, WSUS servers, vCenter servers and VMM servers Networking Logical networks, MAC address pools, load balancers, VIP templates, logical switches, port profiles port classifications, network service Storage Classifications and pools, providers, arrays, file servers, Fibre channel fabrics

5 What Is Networking Infrastructure? Top of rack switch management and integration Logical network: named networks that serve particular functions IP address pool management and integration with IPAM Host and VM network switch management Load balancer integration and automated deployment Network virtualization deployment and management

6 Configuring Ports and Logical Switches in Virtual Machine Manager Hyper-V host #1 Virtual switch Logical switch Switch settings Port profiles (uplink) Port profiles (virtual) Management Corporate Cluster Hyper-V host #2 Virtual switch Management

7 Using Virtual Machine Networks for Isolating Networking Virtual machine network features: Built on top of logical networks Allows you to use several virtualization networks on one logical network Without isolation there can only be one virtual machine network per logical network. This kind of virtual machine network uses the logical network to communicate. VLANs and PVLANS are configured at the logical network Virtual machine networks work well for many situations, not just for hosts

8 Lesson 2: Managing Storage Infrastructure Storage Options for Server Virtualization Implementing Block Storage Implementing File Storage Deploying Storage in Virtual Machine Manager

9 Storage Options for Server Virtualization When you do storage planning for virtualization hosts, you should: Use high performance connectivity to storage Implement redundant storage Analyze the current storage usage, and determine the storage performance Plan for adequate space for existing virtualization needs, and plan future storage growth Ensure you include data protection, such as backups or offsite replication

10 Implementing Block Storage Implementing Fibre Storage Virtual Fibre Channel Adapters Implementing iSCSI Storage

11 Implementing File Storage SMB 3.0: Enables virtual machine storage on SMB 3.0 file shares Requires Windows Server 2012 file servers Requires fast network connectivity Provide redundancy and performance benefits NFS: Enables you can use NFS Shares to deploy VMware to virtual machines

12 Deploying Storage in Virtual Machine Manager After adding storage to VMM, you can deploy logical units using two SAN methods: Snapshots. With this method, the SAN creates a writable snapshot of an existing logical unit Cloning. With this method, the SAN creates an independent copy of an existent logical unit The method used must be supported by the SAN vendor After integration, you can deploy logical units and storage pools by using the VMM Console or Windows PowerShell cmdlets

13 Lesson 3: Managing Infrastructure Updates What Are Infrastructure Updates? Configuring a Fabric Update in Virtual Machine Manager Planning an Update Baseline Update Server Considerations

14 What Are Infrastructure Updates? Infrastructure updates: You can integrate VMM and Windows Server Update Server (WSUS) to provide scanning and compliance of your virtualization infrastructure

15 Configuring a Fabric Update in Virtual Machine Manager Process for implementing update management in VMM: 1. Enable update management 2. Configure and manage update baselines 3. Start a scan to determine compliance status 4. Perform an update remediation 5. Specify update exemptions

16 Planning an Update Baseline An update baseline is a set of required updates assigned to a scope of infrastructure servers within the private cloud If you move a host or host cluster to a new host group, the object will inherit the baseline associated with the target host group If you assign a baseline specifically to a standalone host or host cluster, the baseline will stay with the object when it moves from one host group to another

17 Update Server Considerations When integrating WSUS and VMM: You must have WSUS 3.0 SP2 x64 or newer You should limit languages, products, and classifications in WSUS Integration with Configuration Manager is possible, if WSUS server is managed by Configuration Manager Also use reporting capabilities for compliance information

18 Lesson 4: Hyper-V Clustering Clustering Review Dynamic Optimization Power Optimization

19 Overview of Failover Cluster Up to 64 physical servers and 6,000 VMs Built-n hardware and software validation Shared storage using SMB, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) Compares with VMware HA

20 Dynamic Optimization Compares with vSphere DRS

21 Power Optimization Compares with vSphere DPM
