  3. What's New in Hyper-V 2012

  4. Storage Improvements • Disk Types Converting Disks Location Considerations of Virtual Hard Disks Storage on SMB 3 File Shares Fibre Channel Support in Hyper-V • Storage Migration • Demonstration: Managing Virtual Hard Disks in Hyper-V

  5. Virtual Hard Disks in Hyper-V 2012 Windows Server 2012 introduces the new VHDX format for virtual hard disks, which: • Supports bigger disks – Up to 64TB • Protection against data corruption during power failures by logging updates to the VHDX metadata structures • Supports better alignment when deployed to a large sector disk • Allows larger block size for dynamic and differencing disks, which provides better performance – 4K cluster disks

  6. Converting Disks • You can perform the following maintenance operations on virtual hard disks: • Convert the disk from fixed to dynamic • Convert the disk from dynamic to fixed • Convert a virtual hard disk in VHD format to VHDX • Convert a virtual hard disk in VHDX format to VHD

  7. Location Considerations of Virtual Hard Disks • When planning the location of virtual hard disks, ensure the following: • Virtual hard disk files are stored on disks that can be accessed quickly from the Hyper-V host • Virtual hard disk files are stored on a volume that is configured for redundancy • Virtual hard disk files are stored on high-performance storage • Virtual hard disk files configured for growth should be placed on volumes with adequate space

  8. Storage on SMB 3 File Shares • Hyper-V can store the following on SMB 3 files shares: • Configuration files • Vurtual hard disk files (in VHD and/or VHDX format) • Snapshot files • ** SMB 3 is available in Windows Server 2012 only, and not in earlier Windows Server versions

  9. Fibre Channel Support in Hyper-V The Fiber Channel Adapter: • Allows a virtual machine to directly connect to a Fiber Channel SAN • Requires that the Hyper-V host has a Fiber Channel HBA • Requires that the Fiber Channel HBA driver supports virtual Fibre Channel

  10. Storage Migration Storage Migration technology enables you to move a virtual machine and its storage to another location without downtime. • During migration the virtual machine hard drive is copied from one location to another • Changes are written to both source and destination drive • You can move virtual machine storage to same host, another host, or server message block share (SMB) • Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in different locations

  11. Live Storage Migration Hyper-V • Enables Storage Load Balancing • No downtime servicing • Leverages Hyper-V Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) Virtual Machine 1 VHD Stack 3 2 VHD VHD 4 5 Destination Device Source Device

  12. What's New in VM Mobility? • NIC Teaming • Performance and Acceleration • Security • Best Practices

  13. Complete mobility. Simply the best. • Live Migration with High Availability • Live Migrate among servers in a failover cluster • SMB Live Migration • Live Migrate VMs among servers with SMB storage • Live Storage Migration • Live Migrate VM storage from one volume to another without downtime • Share Nothing (SNO) Live Migration • Live Migrate VMs among servers with nothing, but an Ethernet connection

  14. Hyper-V Replica • Disaster Recovery Scenarios: • Planned, Unplanned and Test Failover • Pre-configuration for IP settings for primary/remote location • Key Features: • RPO/RTO in minutes • Seamless integration with Hyper-V and Clustering • Automatically handles all VM mobility scenarios (e.g. Live migration) • Supports heterogonous storage between primary and recovery • Integrates with Volume Shadow Services (VSS)

  15. Hyper-V Replica

  16. Hyper-V Replica • Easy to Setup • Via wizard • Or, via PowerShell • Works with your current hardware • All you need is two connected servers running Windows Server 2012 • No Guest Dependencies
