  11. Settings for Virtual Machines Virtual Machine Settings

  12. Exporting and Importing Virtual Machines in Hyper-V Originating Computer Exported Virtual Machine Destination Computer Imported Virtual Machine

  13. What Are Hyper-V Virtual Machine Snapshots? Snapshots: Snapshot files: • Virtual machine configuration .XML file • Are a point-in-time copy of a virtual machine • Do not affect the running state of a virtual machine • Save state files • Differencing disk (.AVHD)

  14. Demonstration: Using Snapshots in Hyper-V R2 In this demonstration, you will learn how to: Take and manage a virtual machine snapshot Create a snapshot Revert to a previous snapshot Merge snapshots

  15. Planning Hyper-V Hosts When planning Hyper-V hosts: • Simplify and standardize the host platform • Consider using the Server Core installation option • Automate and standardize administration of the virtual server environment by: • Standardizing the host and virtual server configuration • Implementing remote management solutions at the host server level • Implementing VMM

  16. Guidelines for Designing Virtual Machines Guidelines: • Simplify and standardize the host platform • Plan virtual machines for specific server roles by: • Monitoring the servers before virtualization • Configuring each virtual machine with a hardware configuration that is similar to the hardware required on a physical server • Deploy Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2–based virtual machines whenever possible • Consider other options for ensuring physical server utilization

  17. Designing Virtual Machines for SQL Server Guidelines: • Ensure that the Hyper-V integration components are installed • Plan virtual machine hardware settings to match physical server hardware • Use fixed-size disks and SCSI controllers for database and log file drives • To ensure adequate CPU capacity: • Remember virtual machines are limited to four processors • Do not over-commit CPU resources • Remember networking-intensive workloads require more CPU capacity

  18. Designing Virtual Machines for Exchange Server When designing virtual machines for Exchange Server: • Use standard server sizing rules • Configure appropriate storage • Do not use virtual machine snapshots • Configure adequate CPU resources • Consider how to use Hyper-V and native Exchange Server high availability • Consider I/O requirements

  19. Designing Virtual Machines for SharePoint When designing virtual machines for SharePoint: • Configure virtual machine hardware like physical server hardware • Do not take snapshots of virtual servers • Avoid over-committing the virtual CPUs • Consider deploying all of the servers in a server farm on a single physical server • Assign adequate memory • Use only Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) • Choose the right storage implementation for the SharePoint server role
