*New in Windows Server 2012 R2
Inbox solution for Windows to
manage storage
Virtualize storage by grouping industrystandard disks into storage pools
Pools are sliced into virtual disks, or Spaces.
Spaces can be Thin Provisioned, and can be
striped across all physical disks in a pool.
Mirroring or Parity are also
supported.
Windows then creates a volume on the
Space, and allows data to be placed on the
volume.
Spaces can use DAS only (local to the chassis,
or via SAS)
Optimizing storage
performance on Spaces
Disk pool consists of both high performance
SSDs and higher capacity HDDs
Hot data is moved automatically to SSD and
cold data to HDD using
Sub-File-Level data movement
With write-back-caching, SSD absorb random
writes that are typical in virtualized
deployments
Admins can pin hot files to SSDs manually to
drive high performance
New PowerShell cmdlets are available for the
management of storage tiers

The vSphere Distributed Switch (required for PVLAN capability) is available only in the Enterprise Plus edition of vSphere 5.5 and
is replaceable (By Partners such as Cisco/IBM) rather than extensible.
ARP Spoofing, DHCP Snooping Protection & Virtual Port ACLs require the vCloud Networking & Security package, which is part
of the vCloud Suite or a Partner solution, all of which are additional purchases
Trunking VLANs to individual vNICs, Port Monitoring and Mirroring at a granular level requires vSphere Distributed Switch, which
is available in the Enterprise Plus edition of vSphere 5.5

Increased efficiency of network
processing on Hyper-V hosts
Without VMQ
•
Hyper-V Virtual Switch is responsible for
routing & sorting packets for VMs
•
This leads to increased CPU processing, all
focused on CPU0
With VMQ
•
Physical NIC creates virtual network
queues for each VM to reduce host CPU
With Dynamic VMQ
•
Processor cores dynamically allocated for
a better spread of network traffic
processing

High-Availability Platform for
Applications with Shared Data
Massive scalability with support for 64 physical
nodes & 8,000 VMs.
Cluster physical servers (host clusters), virtual
machines (guest cluster), and SMB Scale Out File
Servers (storage cluster).
Built-in hardware and software validation tests to
ensure compliance and to offer guidance to fix
misconfigurations.
Redundant networks and teamed NICs supporting
IPv4 and/or IPv6.
Shared storage using SMB, iSCSI, Fibre Channel,
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or SerialAttached SCSI (SAS).
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) is a distributedaccess file system allowing multiple VMs to write
to the same disk.
Failover Clustering
A cluster is a coordinated,
distributed system
All cluster nodes can access the same
shared storage.
VMs run on the host, but store their data
(.vhdx) on shared storage.
Nodes monitor the health of each other
through cluster networks.
If a node fails or is partitioned, the
health check fails, and failover actions
take place.
The VMs or roles will restart on another
node, reading the application’s data
from the shared disk.
Cluster Communication
Integrated Solution for
Resilient Virtual Machines
Uses quorum, a state, to determine how many
elements must be online for the cluster to
continue running.
Nodes, disks or file shares can have a vote.
There must always be an odd number of
votes across the cluster.
After a network partition, this ensure that one
group of voters (nodes or disks) has the
quorum (majority) of votes.
2012 introduced Dynamic Quorum to toggle
disk voting to ensure odd votes.
Reduced AD dependencies so contact with a
DC is not required for cluster to start.
Drain Roles to evacuate host for maintenance.
Cluster Dynamic Quorum Configuration
Optimal cluster configuration
requires multiple networks
Host Management - Used for managing the
Hyper-V hosts through RDP, Hyper-V Manager, Virtual
Machine Manager etc.
VM Access - Dedicated NIC(s) on the nodes for
VMs to use to communicate out onto the network
Live Migration - Network dedicated to the
transmission of live migration traffic
Cluster Communications- Preferred network used by
the cluster for communications to maintain cluster
health. Also, used by Cluster Shared Volumes to send
data between owner and non-owner nodes. If storage
access is interrupted, this network is used to access the
Cluster Shared Volumes or to maintain and back up the
Cluster Shared Volumes
Storage (Optional)
Used by the hosts to communicate with their iSCSI or
SMB storage
Cluster Networking
Construction of Hyper-V
Clusters, Integrated into VMM
Hyper-V Clusters provide VM resiliency, so
that in the event of host failure, VMs
automatically restart on other physical hosts.
Creation – Replaces the use of Failover
Cluster Manager to create a Hyper-V Cluster.
Add Hosts – VMM will utilize hosts that are
already under management and not clustered
Validation – VMM will trigger the validation
of the cluster configuration to ensure solid
foundation. Skipping optional.
Storage & Networks – Select and configure
currently exposed storage and logical
networks
Ensure Optimal VM Placement
and Restart Operations
Failover Priority ensures certain VMs
start before others on the cluster
Affinity rules allow VMs to reside on
certain hosts in the cluster
Preferred and Possible Ownership help to
control where VMs run.
AntiAffinityClassNames helps to keep
virtual machines apart on separate physical
cluster nodes
AntiAffinityClassNames exposed
through VMM as Availability Set

Monitor Health of Applications
Inside Clustered VMs
•
Upon service failure, Service Control
Manager inside guest will attempt to restart
the service
•
After 3 failures, Cluster Service will
trigger event log entry 1250
•
VM State = Application in VM Critical
•
VM can be automatically restarted on the
same node
•
Upon subsequent failure, VM can be failed
over and restarted on alternative node

Optimizing cluster resource
usage by virtual machines
Load Balancing – VMM keeps the cluster
balanced across the different nodes, moving
VMs around without downtime
Heterogeneous – Supports load balancing on
Hyper-V, vSphere & XenServer clusters
Resources – looks at CPU, Memory, Disk IO and
Network IO - when the resource usage goes
above the DO threshold, VMM orchestrates live
migrations of VMs
User Controlled – configurable frequency, and
aggression level. Can be manually triggered, of
enabled for automatic optimization
Reduces power consumption
by Hyper-V hosts
Reduced Power Consumption –VMM assesses
the current cluster utilization and if the VMs can
be run on fewer hosts, it will migrate VMs onto
fewer hosts and power spares down
Resources – looks at CPU, Memory, Disk IO and
Network IO - when the resource usage goes
above the DO threshold, VMM orchestrates live
migrations of VMs
Configurable – Admin specifies time for PO to
operate, i.e. weekend, overnight, and if VMM
deems it possible, it will power hosts down
during this time. Hosts will be reactivated if
demand increases.
Central patching of key hosts
& management servers
Cluster-Aware Compliance – Ensures all
hosts are patches to a baseline without VM
downtime
WSUS – Integrates with WSUS and
Configuration Manager
Baselines – Admins define patches that are to
be deployed for compliance. These baselines
are assigned to hosts/servers
Scan for Compliance – Scan the
hosts/management servers against baselines
to determine compliance
Remediation – VMM orchestrates the
patching of the servers, moving VMs as
necessary with Live Migration
