  1. About Me • +15 years’ experience in Datacenter Architectures • +80 Micrososoft Certification • +11 has a MCT (Western Canada Regional Lead) • MVP in System Center Cloud & Datacenter Management • + Deploy over +1000 SharePoint Farms

  2. Agenda Planning Deployment Monitoring Protection Conclusion

  3. Audience Target Who is a SharePoint Administrator Who is Hosting SharePoint Who has a SP 2013 Farm, but it’s not performing well Who is using System Center to Administer SP 2013 Who has challenges and need to find solutions Who wants to learn how to deploy SP 2013 on Hyper-V None of the above but I have interest

  4. Planning Phase

  5. What is “Virtualizable”? • Active Directory Domain Services * Front-End Web Server or Application Server The SQL Server Services,can we Virtualize that? Any Part of SQL, ADS, SharePoint 2013 Yes, yes it does! Does Size Matter!

  6. General Virtual Supportability Guidance Guest Clustering is supported with SQL Server when running a guest operating system of Windows Server 2008 SP2 or newer 1 - Guest Clustering is supported with SQL Server when running a guest operating system of Windows Server 2008 SP2 or newer

  7. General Virtual Supportability Guidance SharePoint HA refers to the deployment of each of the key tiers of a SharePoint infrastructure, across multiple virtual machines. This would involve the WFEs balanced behind a NLB, redundant application servers, and a SQL Server AlwaysOn/Clustered/Mirrored configuration across multiple virtual machines. These combinations are supported on Hyper-V. Support for running SharePoint on Windows Server 2012 R2 is only available with SharePoint 2013 SP1 and SharePoint 2010 SP2 1 - SharePoint HA refers to the deployment of each of the key tiers of a SharePoint infrastructure, across multiple virtual machines.

  8. Virtualizing SQL Server | Performance • Only 6.3% better on the physical. • 6x performance increase • 5x improvement in transaction response time. • Additional features such as SR-IOV, Virtual Fibre Channel and Virtual NUMA. Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012, Single VM, 64GB of RAM Full report is available here

  9. Virtualizing SharePoint | Performance • SharePoint 2013 infrastructure deployed • 1 Physical Hyper-V Server • SSD-Based • Mirror Storage Spaces • 5 Hyper-V VMs (3 WFE, 1 App, 1 SQL) • Supported • Demand of over 1.3 million heavy users (60 requests per hour) • With 1% concurrency, running a lightweight, non-blocking workload) • With measurably low response times throughout (230 request/sec - .08s response time) 8 vCPU, 12GB RAM per WFE VMFull report is available here

  10. Virtualizing SharePoint | Performance • ESG Labs • Tested a virtualized tier-1 SharePoint 2013 infrastructure • Scalability & Performance • Deployed across 3-5 Hyper-V VMs, • Single physical server • Supported over 1.3 million heavyweight 1% concurrent users on a virtualized SharePoint farm. • When pushed further, the 5 VM configuration scaled to over 2 million heavyweight 1% concurrent users, whilst keeping CPU utilization below 90%. • Download Full Report • The full report is available for public download here. 8 vCPU, 12GB RAM per WFE VM

  13. SharePointHigh Availability Comprehensive resilience for Web Front Ends, Application & SQL Servers • Multiple Levels of Redundancy • SharePoint 2013 enables administrators to implement redundancy at web, application and database layers. • SQL Server AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (FCI) or Availability Groups provide resilience at database level. • Multiple Application servers provide resilience for farm services and specific application components such as search. • Multiple front end web servers dedicated to serving content, behind an NLB for network distribution. SQL Server AlwaysOnFailover Cluster Instance or Availability Groups Application Servers Search Query & Index along with other application roles Front-End Web Servers Web content servers behind a Network Load Balancer

  14. Combining HA Configurations Dual-levels of resilience with Hyper-V & SharePoint HA • Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V • Failover Clustering at host level provides resiliency in the event of hardware failure. • Supports Failover Priority to ensure SharePoint VMs start first upon failover, and in a specific order. • Supports Anti-Affinity rules to keep SharePoint farm member VMs on different physical hosts. • SharePoint Resilience • SharePoint VM virtual disks should be stored on resilient storage (SMB 3.0, iSCSI, FC). • A 3-tier deployment with multiple VMs per tier would be recommended for production. • SharePoint farm nodes, including SQL Servers, fully supported with Hyper-V Live Migration. Guest SQL Server AlwaysOn Failover Cluster for SharePoint content databases Hyper-V Host Cluster iSCSI, Fibre Channel or SMB 3.0 Storage, used to store SharePoint & SQL Server VM virtual disks and/or SQL Server data files (SMB)

  15. Integrated Cluster Maintenance Cluster-Aware Updating ensures clusters stay patched & protected • Hyper-V Host Maintenance • Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) will orchestrate the automatic Live Migration of SharePoint VMs away from Hyper-V nodes that are ready to be patched. • Node is placed into maintenance mode before patching, and removed upon completion. • CAU can be manually triggered, or set to Self-Updating Mode for automated patching on a scheduled basis - daily, weekly, or monthly intervals • CAU can also be extended to include 3rd party patches, hotfixes, firmware updates etc. • CAU can be managed via PowerShell or through GUI. • No downtime to the SharePoint Virtual Machines whilst the process of patching the host is underway. Virtualized SharePoint Web, Application or SQL Servers Hyper-V Host Cluster iSCSI, Fibre Channel or SMB 3.0 Storage, used to store SharePoint & SQL Server VM virtual disks

  16. Hybrid Infrastructure

  17. Integrating with Microsoft Azure SharePoint Infrastructure within a Hybrid Cloud • Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Services • Whilst SharePoint admins can upload their own SharePoint VMs, Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Services also provides a gallery of images for rapid deployment. • Virtual Machines are geo-replicated for durability & redundancy. • VM images can be brought back on premises from Microsoft Azure infrastructure services. • Rich web-based dashboard for administration & ongoing management. • Integration with System Center for centralized management & monitoring.

  18. Integrating with Microsoft Azure SharePoint Infrastructure within a Hybrid Cloud • SharePoint & Microsoft Azure • Design, implement, and develop on SharePoint 2010/2013 without upfront hardware costs • Develop custom internet sites and collaboration apps not supported in softwareas a service model • Burst compute, storage, and database for your SharePoint farm when you need it • Microsoft provides end-to-end, direct support for SharePoint running in Microsoft Azure. • Microsoft Azure Virtual Networks and ADFSallow streamlined integration with on premise resources. • Deployment can be automated via PowerShell and once deployed, can be monitored & managed with System Center

  19. Best practice guidance for virtualization

  20. Best Practices Leave adequate memory for the Hyper-V partitions. (we recommend 6 GB of RAM or more for host computer operations.) Use a minimum of two physical network adapters. Use a recommended of four Networks Use NIC Teaming for Host – Virtual Adapters Use NIC Teaming for the VM guest network.

  21. Best Practices Do not use the parent partition for services other than Hyper-V. Do not store host computer system files on drives that are used for Hyper-V storage. Do not oversubscribe the CPU on the virtualization host computer. Do not use snapshots in a production environment*

  22. Configure the Hyper-V host computer

  23. Configure the Hyper-V host computer Avoid running programs such as anti-virus software on the parent partition. (Run them on the child partition if they are required.) Use hardware that supports Second Level Address Translation (SLAT). Enable Hyper-Threading (if hardware supports it) Use fast connections on Hyper-V (10GB) or faster Hyper-V Hotfixes are different than Windows Update!

  24. Deployment Phase
