Career Progression: Getting Ready for the Cloud

Career Progression: Getting Ready for the CloudThe cloud is simply the next level of virtualization. For those that do not have virtualization experience you will learn the fundamentals of Hyper-V while giving you a jump start to your virtualization or cloud career. But, we are not staying there long. We will then dive deep into the Microsoft hypervisor-based server virtualization technology. Professional Hyper-V and VMware administrators will learn how their existing virtualization knowledge can be leveraged to quickly move to the next layer of virtualization, private cloud. So have your cup of caffeine and buckle up to take a very fast and eventful ride from where you are now, to where you need to be to advance your career!

8Challenges: Underutilized hardware Excessive power consumptionExpensive space across datacenter and branch offices

Server Consolidation + Cloud Foundation

Server Utilization

We expect to consolidate an additional 75 servers using Hyper-V, which will lead to a cost savings of more than $325,000 annually. By the time we hit our fifth virtual machine, weve usually paid for the host. Long term, we will be able to reduce our total data center holdings by 75 percentfrom nearly 400 servers to fewer than 100 servers.Robert McShinsky Senior Systems Administrator, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Supported HostsWindows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition x64 with Hyper-VWindows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 with Hyper-VWindows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition x64 with Hyper-VProcessor Requirementsx64 Processor ArchitectureSupport for Hardware Execute DisableIntel VT Hardware Virtualization or AMD-V Hardware VirtualizationWindows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-VNote: Standard Edition does not support Hyper-V High AvailabilityBetter flexibilityLive MigrationCluster Shared VolumesHot Add/remove of StorageProcessor compatibility mode for live migration

BenefitsEasy setup; Uses NTFSNo reformatting SANsCreate one big data storeNo more drive letter problemsExisting tools just workHighly recommended for live migration scenarios


47Processor Compatibility ModeOverviewAllows 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.

BenefitsProvides a great deal of migration flexibility within clusters.Enables migration across a broader range of Hyper-V host hardware.No specific hardware requirements needed.

Processor Compatibility ModeHow it works?If a host As processor features are superset of host Bs processor features, migrating a running VM from host A to host B will fail; if the same VM is put in processor compatibility mode migration will succeed (see below image)Hypervisor exposes only those features to VM that are available between all Hyper-V supported processors

VM NOT in Processor compatibility modeVM in Processor compatibility modePhysical Processor features: X,Y,ZVM sees processor features: X,Y,ZPhysical Processor features: X,YPhysical Processor features: X,Y,ZPhysical Processor features: X,YHost AHost BHost BHost AMigration failsMigration succeedsVM sees processor features: X,Y

Processor compatibility modeWhen to use it?If you have servers with different processors and you want flexibility in freely moving running VMs between serversWhat to consider before using it?Moving a VM to a host with a superset of processor features does not require processor compatibility mode Due to some processor features are hidden from VM test multimedia, high-performance computing applications before deploying in VM with processor compatibility modeWhich Hyper-V features utilize this capability?Live Migration, Quick Migration and Save/Restore VMHow to use it?By default, processor compatibility mode is OFFTo turn it ON, from Hyper-V Manager, select a CPU setting wizard of a VM. Check a check-box labeled Migrate to physical computer with a different processor version, see below image for details

Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)New Processor Feature SupportOverviewUses new processor features to improve performance and reduce load on Windows HypervisorAMD: Nested Page Tables (NPT)Intel: Extended Page Tables (EPT)

51VM Chimney (TCP Offload Support)OverviewTCP/IP traffic in a VM can be offloaded to a physical NIC on the host computer.Disabled by default

BenefitsReduce CPU burdenNetworking offload to improve performanceLive Migration is fully supported with Full TCP Offload Cautions: Not all applications benefit from ChimneyWorks best for long-lived connections with large data transfers Applications with pre-posted buffersChimney capable hardware supports a fixed number of offloaded connections shared between all VMs10/27/2011 10:50 AM 2007 Microsoft Corporation.

52Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)Overview disabled by defaultNIC can DMA packets directly into VM memoryVM Device buffer gets assigned to one of the queuesAvoids packet copies in the VSPAvoids route lookup in the virtual switch (VMQ Queue ID)Allows the NIC to essentially appear as multiple NICs on the physical host (queues)Best performance gains seen on 10G NICs (highly recommended)BenefitsHost no longer has device DMA data in its own buffer resulting in a shorter path length for I/O (performance gain)


53Jumbo Frame SupportOverviewEnables 6x larger payload per packetEthernet frames >1,500 bytesAd hoc standard is ~9k

5464 Logical Processor SupportOverviewProvides Hyper-V the ability to utilizes up to 64 of the logical processor pool presented to Windows Server 2008 R2

BenefitsSignificantly increases host server densityEasily provide multiple processers per virtual machine

Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core ParkingOverviewScheduling virtual machines on a single server for density as opposed to dispersionThis allows park/sleep cores by putting them in deep C states

BenefitsSignificantly enhances Green IT by being able to reduce power required for CPUs10/27/2011 10:50 AM 2007 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
