30. The Dynamic Datacenter Vision Virtualize your workloads Consolidate Servers Reduce Costs Space/facilities Cooling Physical Hardware Maintenance Smaller OS footprint Easier Management HW Flexibility Quicker Installations & Deployments Run Legacy OSs & Apps Incompatible Apps on same server

31. Hyper-V Live Migration Move a running VM from one host to another host with no downtime Client is not aware of the migration Maintain open TCP connections of the guest OS Clients stay connected Planned failover Failover Clustering still recovers VM from a disk in an unplanned failover

32. Live Migration Entire VM memory copied Memory content is copied to new server Live Migrate May be additional incremental data copies until data on both nodes is essentially identical VHD

33. Live Migration Session state is maintained No reconnections necessary Clients stay connected to “live” VM VHD Client directed to new host ARP issued to point routing devices to new node Old VM deleted after success

34. Cluster Shared Volumes Distributed file access solution for Hyper-V Concurrent access to disk from any node VMs do not know their host VMs no longer bound to storage VMs can share a CSV disk to reduce LUNs VMs remain online during live migration Zero downtime!

35. Cluster Shared Volumes Overview Data over any network VHD Coordinator Node 1 LUN, Many VMs Distributed File Access for Hyper-V

36. CSV Compatibility No special hardware requirements Same requirements as standard cluster disk iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SAS No directory structure or depth limitations No proprietary file system Standard NTFS Support Hyper-V Workload It Just Works!

37. CSV Benefits Simplify Storage Management Consolidate VMs on a CSV disk Individual VMs on a shared LUN can failover Reduces client’s final transition time during a live migration Improves Reliability Dynamic I/O Redirection Node Fault Tolerance Network Fault Tolerance SAN Fault Tolerance Network Prioritization CSV gives your cluster Higher Availability 99% 99.9% 99.99% 99.999% Availability
