Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Requirements

Microsoft Hyper-V 01

REQUIREMENTS

Description

Hypervisor based virtualization platform

Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition technology

Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter Editions

Hardware Requirements

x64 server with hardware assisted virtualization

AMD AMD-V or Intel VT

Hardware enabled Data Execution Prevention (DEP) required

AMD (NX no execute bit)

Intel (XD execute disable)

Note: Enabling these BIOS features requires powering down (not rebooting) the server to take effect

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Capabilities

CAPABILITIES

32-bit (x86) & 64-bit (x64) VMs

Large memory support (64 GB) per VM

SMP VMs (up to 4 cores)

Integrated cluster support for HA & Quick Migration

BitLocker: Seamless, secure data encryption

Live Backup: Volume Shadow Service integration

Pass-through disk access for VMs

Virtual Machine snapshots

New hardware sharing architecture (VSP/VSC/VMBus)

Disk, networking, input, video

Robust networking: VLANs and NLB

Based on DMTF for WMI management interface

Support for Full or Server Core installations

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Overview

OVERVIEW

Building on the rock-solid architecture of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V

Integration with new technologies

Enabling new dynamic scenarios:

Increased Server Consolidation

Dynamic Data Center

Virtualized Centralized Desktop

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Live Migration

LIVE MIGRATION

#1 Customer Request Moving a virtual machine from one server to another without dropped network connection or user perceived downtime Enables dynamic datacenter scenarios

Servicing Load balancing VMs for power Load balancing VMs for CPU

LIVE MIGRATION

Live Migration via Failover Cluster Manager In box UI

Live Migration via System Center Virtual Machine Manager Orchestrate migrations via policy

Moving from Quick to Live Migration: Guest OS limitations?: No Changes to VMs needed?: No Changes to Storage infrastructure: No Changes to Network Infrastructure: No Update to Hyper-V: Yes

LIVE MIGRATION

Quick Migration (Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V)

1. Save state

a) Create VM on the target

b) Write VM memory to shared storage

2. Move virtual machine

a) Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet

3. Restore state & Run

a) Take VM memory from shared storage and restore on Target

b) Run

Live Migration (Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V)

1. VM State/Memory Transfer

a) Create VM on the target

b) Move memory pages from the source to the target via Ethernet

2. Final state transfer and virtual machine restore

a) Pause virtual machine

b) Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet

3. Resume

Host 1 Host 2 Host 1 Host 2

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Migration & Storage

Migration & Storage

Today: Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V

Management Overhead one VM per LUN 100 VMs = 100 LUNs Drive letter limitations

Solutions:

Use drive GUIDs

Migration & Storage

Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V NEW Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV)

Required for Live Migration CSV provides a single consistent file name space; All Windows Server 2008 R2 servers see the same storage

Easy setup; Uses NTFS No reformatting SANs Create one big data store No more drive letter problems Existing tools just work

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Cluster Shared Volumes

Cluster Shared Volumes

All servers “see” the same storage

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V New Processor Feature Support

New Processor Feature Support

Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)

Uses new processor features to improve performance and

reduce load on Windows Hypervisor

AMD: Nested Page Tables (NPT)

Intel: Extended Page Tables (EPT)

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Virtual Storage

Hot Add/Remove Storage

Overview Add and remove VHD and pass-through disks to a running VM without requiring a reboot.

Hot-add/remove disk applies to VHDs and pass-through disks attached to the virtual SCSI controller

Benefits Enables storage growth in VMs without downtime Enables additional datacenter backup scenarios Enables new SQL/Exchange scenarios

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Networking

Networking

Extending TCP Offload support for Virtual machines

TCP/IP traffic in a VM can be offloaded to a physical NIC on the host computer.

Benefits

Reduce CPU burden

Networking offload to improve performance

Live Migration is supported with TCP Offload

Networking

Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) Support

Overview

NIC can DMA packets directly into VM memory

VM Device buffer gets assigned to one of the queues

Avoids packet copies in the VSP

Avoids route lookup in the virtual switch (VMQ Queue ID)

Allows the NIC to essentially appear as multiple NICs on the physical host

(queues)

Benefits

Host no longer has device DMA data in its own buffer resulting in a shorter

path length for I/O (performance gain)

Networking

Jumbo Frame Support

Ethernet frames >1,500 bytes

Ad hoc standard is ~9k

Overview

Enables 6x larger payload per packet

Benefits

Improves throughput

Reduce CPU utilization of large file transfers

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Terminal Services –Virtualization

Terminal Services –Virtualization

Overview

TSV - Virtualized “Centralized Desktop” provisioning, access and management

solution on top of Hyper-V

Unified user and admin experience for traditional TS (session per user) and

TSV (VM per user).

Deployment Scenarios

Temporary (until Logoff) VM per user Assignment

Permanent VM per user assignment

Built-in solution for low complexity deployments

Features and management are tuned for Entry Level deployments.

Example: 4 TS/TSVM Servers with few apps.

Connection broker Infrastructure

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Summary

Summary

Hyper-V is high-performance and deployed in massive scale production environments.

Long running collaboration between Intel and Microsoft is producing great results.

Great Hyper-V scaling and IO performance on Intel® Xeon® processors.
