25. Live Migration Overview Moving a virtual machine from one server to another without loss of service Benefits Enables new scenarios Load balancing VMs for power Load balancing VMs for CPU Upgrade of host hardware and maintenance
26. Cluster Shared Volumes NEW Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) in Windows Server 2008 R2 Overview CSV provides a single consistent file name space; All Windows Server 2008 R2 Server servers see the same storage Benefits Easy setup; Uses NTFS No reformatting SANs Create one big data store No more drive letter problems Existing tools just work Highly recommended for live migration scenarios
27. Hot Add/Remove Storage Overview Add and remove VHD and pass-through disks to a running VM without requiring a reboot. Hot-add/remove disk applies to VHDs and pass-through disks attached to the virtual SCSI controller Benefits Enables storage growth in VMs without downtime Enables additional datacenter backup scenarios Enables new SQL/Exchange scenarios
28. Processor Compatibility Mode Overview Allows live migration across different CPU versions within the same processor family (i.e. Intel-to-Intel and AMD-to-AMD). Does NOT enable cross platform from Intel to AMD or vice versa. Configure compatibility on a per-VM basis. Abstracts the VM down to the lowest common denominator in terms of instruction sets available to the VM. VM NOT in Processor compatibility mode VM in Processor compatibility mode VM sees processor features: X,Y,Z VM sees processor features: X,Y Migration fails Migration succeeds Physical Processor features: X,Y,Z Physical Processor features: X,Y Physical Processor features: X,Y Physical Processor features: X,Y,Z Host B Host B Host A Host A

Good morning everyone,Welcome to MVUG Part 1- From Zero to Hero on Hyper V R2.Let me introduce myself, my name Lai . I’m a MVP on Virtual Machine and I’m one of the founder for MVUG.
Alright . . . so what is Windows Virtualization?Let look into how we normally deploy app. We tend buy a server and then you install an app. This is an on going process, and without you realise you have buy a lot of server. When you do assessment, you will find out that most of the server is underutilize, which is running only 10- 20%.
1970 –IBM is 1st company who introduce virtualizationMicrosoft start look into virtualization when they bought over Connectix and releasing 2 products.Virtual Pc is the desktop virtualization product. And in 2009, Microsoft release Virtual Pc for Win7 which require hardware virtualization. As time pass by, Microsoft receive a lot of feedback from consumer on running Virtual Pc without H/w Virtualization. So on this year March 2010, an update is release to run Virtual Pc without h/w virtualization technologies.On Server Virtualization, this is where Virtual Server is release. Virtual Server is a Type 2 hypervisor which need to run on top of OS and on my perspective it is an application. On year 2008, Microsoft start to release type 1 hypervisor which called Hyper V. Last year, Microsoft add more enhancement and came out with Hyper V R2 which is the current version which I’m going to cover in this webcast.More good news, on 1st half of 2011 – Microsoft will release more feature for Virtualization on SP1.
Title: Hypervisor Design GoalsTalking Points:VSP = Virtualization Service ProvidersVSC = Virtualization Service ClientsThe hypervisor instance must have at least one Parent or Root partition Parent partition is responsible for: Managing and assigning hardware resources. Power management, plug and play, and hardware failure events Creating and managing other partitions Loading and starting the hypervisor.Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 include enlightenments and are able to detect the presence of a hypervisor at run time. These changes are built into the Kernel and the HAL components for both performance optimization and functional enhancements. Virtualization Solutions traditionally emulate legacy devices for their guests.
In this slide, I’m going to discuss about virtualization right for guest VM.Free edition Hyper V – do not have virtualization right license. For each VM, you need to buy each license. I normally use Hyper V free edition when I want to perform Virtual standby (backup) or P2V older operating system with you have license.Windows Server 2008 Std Edition – allow you to install 1 instance of operating system.Windows Server 2008 Ent Edition – allow you to install 4 instance of operating systemWindows Server 2008 Datacenter – allow you to install unlimited VM.Let look into scenario:-OS for guest VM – Std allow you to install only Std Edition OS, Ent allow you to install either Std/ Enterprise Edition.Linux OS as guest VM. As we all know, linux is open source but in Microsoft Virtualization right, example I take Ent edition. So 4-1 =3Malaysia best practice is install roles such as DC in parent partition. In virtualization right is 4-1 =3 allowed guest VM.Microsoft recommendation is do not install other roles into Hyper V host machine. The reason is not because of the virtualization right license but because other roles will share and use the resource which will impact the performance of the VM.d) What happen if you exceed the VM virtualization license installed. Example: Ent edition, you install 6 VM, you just need to buy 2 additional license.For more further info about license, feel free to contact Microsoft.
Support for more logical processorsUp to 8 socket system with 8 cores/socketUp to 64 logical processors (8 cores x 8 CPUs)Support for more concurrent VMsUp to 384 powered -on VMs (6 VMs x 64 logical processors)Support for more virtual processorsUp to 512 virtual processors (8 virtual processors x 64 logical processors)Up to 4 virtual processor allocation per virtual machineVM Example (assuming 64 logical processors & lots of RAM)128 VMs with 4 virtual processors (maxes out 512 virtual processors)384 VMs with 1 virtual processor (maxes out 384 virtual machines)300 VMs with 1 virtual processor and 53 VMs with 4 virtual processors (maxes out 512 virtual processors)
In Part 1, we will run through a bit of history of how machine virtualization started in MS. Very quickly this takes us to the present with Hyper-V R1 and R2 for both the totally free version, MS Hyper-V Server 2008 and 2008 R2 and the Windows Hyper-V versions. Hyper-V overview and architecture will also be covered and then key capabilities with a whole series of demos.2. From Zero to Hero on Hyper-V R2 part 2 - 75 minutesThe second part, allows us to focus on installation and configuration. We will also provide some understanding on the Authorization Manager which governs the heart of authorization and access to Hyper-V.
