FCCP Failover Cluster Configuration Program Windows Server 2008 / R2 Buy validated solutions “Validated by Microsoft Failover Cluster Configuration Program” Not required for Microsoft support, must be logo’d More information: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/ clustering-program.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/ clustering-program.aspx

8. Enhanced Validation Run before, during or after cluster deployment Includes additional “best practices” tests Quorum configuration Status of cluster resources Network Name settings in a multi-site cluster Offers prescriptive guidance to achieve higher availability Collects information about the configuration for supportability and documentation

9. Cluster Validation

10. Migration – Our Upgrade Path Built-in Migration Wizard Supports most networking configurations IPv4, IPv6, IPv6 tunnel, DHCP IPs, Static IPs, different subnets Reuse storage or copy data and use new storage Migrate resource groups between clusters Enhanced Pre- and Post- migration reports Guide: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142796http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142796 2003 2008 R2 2008 2008 R2

11. Migration Migrate every in-box workload DFS-N, DHCP, DTC, File Server, Generic Application, Generic Script, Generic Service, iSNS, MSMQ, NFS, Other Server, Remote Desktop, WINS All other workloads have their own cluster- aware upgrade process DFS-R Exchange Hyper-V Print SQL Every workload now has a cluster-aware upgrade path!

31. The Dynamic Datacenter Vision Virtualize your workloads Consolidate Servers Reduce Costs Space/facilities Cooling Physical Hardware Maintenance Smaller OS footprint Easier Management HW Flexibility Quicker Installations & Deployments Run Legacy OSs & Apps Incompatible Apps on same server

32. Hyper-V Live Migration Move a running VM from one host to another host with no downtime Client is not aware of the migration Maintain open TCP connections of the guest OS Clients stay connected Planned failover Failover Clustering still recovers VM from a disk in an unplanned failover

33. Live Migration Entire VM memory copied Memory content is copied to new server Live Migrate May be additional incremental data copies until data on both nodes is essentially identical VHD

34. Live Migration Session state is maintained No reconnections necessary Clients stay connected to “live” VM VHD Client directed to new host ARP issued to point routing devices to new node Old VM deleted after success

35. Cluster Shared Volumes Distributed file access solution for Hyper-V Concurrent access to disk from any node VMs do not know their host VMs no longer bound to storage VMs can share a CSV disk to reduce LUNs VMs remain online during live migration Zero downtime!

36. Cluster Shared Volumes Overview Data over any network VHD Coordinator Node 1 LUN, Many VMs Distributed File Access for Hyper-V

37. CSV Compatibility No special hardware requirements Same requirements as standard cluster disk iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SAS No directory structure or depth limitations No proprietary file system Standard NTFS Support Hyper-V Workload It Just Works!

38. CSV Benefits Simplify Storage Management Consolidate VMs on a CSV disk Individual VMs on a shared LUN can failover Reduces client’s final transition time during a live migration Improves Reliability Dynamic I/O Redirection Node Fault Tolerance Network Fault Tolerance SAN Fault Tolerance Network Prioritization CSV gives your cluster Higher Availability 99% 99.9% 99.99% 99.999% Availability

39. Session Summary Windows Server 2008 R2 is delivering substantial value Hyper-V deployments will want to upgrade immediately Expanded support for several new roles No special requirements – it just works Cluster Shared Volumes Live Migration DFS-Replication Remote Desktop Connection Broker Innovation PowerShell Read-only APIs Migration Improved integration with Cluster Management UI ManageabilitySupportability Improved Logging Enhanced Validation Performance Counters
