WHY VIRTUALIZE?
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Why Virtualize?•Direct Server over consumption / Utility Bills / “Greener” technology•Less Physical space to consume •Less cost to cool multiple servers
Reduce Costs
•Reduce number of physical servers•Get rid of legacy hardware•Dedicated specialty servers
Consolidate /
Dedicate
•Optimized use of memory/processor•No proliferation of disk volumes•Large number of servers can run on a single box
Optimize Investme

SHAREPOINT 2010 VIRTUALIZATION GUIDELINES
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Virtual Host Guidelines• Dedicated hosts for SharePoint Virtual
Guests• No Software on Host OS! (Except A/V or
Backup)General
• Allocate Passthrough/RDM NICs for best perf
• Aggregate NICs at a minimum• Create dedicated NIC for Management• Create dedicated NIC for Failover
NICs• Dedicated spindles for SharePoint• Dedicated volume for Host OS• Dedicated volume for Guest OS VHDs• Dedicated volume for Databases and
LogsDisk
• Avoid overallocating (applies to memory as well)
• No more than 2 vCPUs for every Core• Ideally 1:1 ratio for best performance
Max 2:1 Core/vCPU
Ratio

SharePoint Guest Guidelines
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
VM Guest Guidelines:SharePoint Roles
•Fixed size Disk a minimum•Pass-through (raw) disk is recommended, but not required.•Address Disk I/O (Dedicated spindles, etc.)
Disk
•Created dedicated virtual switch for SharePoint•Use VLAN tagging for Security•Ensure host has redundant network links•Highly consider passthrough NICs
Network
•Load balance like servers across hosts•Install Integration components on servers (Win2008 R2 automatically does for Hyper-V)
General
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
•Passthrough/RDM strong recommendation•If Passthrough/RDM Disk not used, scale out the server tier•Follow best practices for tempDB, others
Disk
•Ideally Passthrough/RDM NICs•Aggregate Host NICs at a minimum•If using Virtual NICs, used a dedicated virtual switch
Network
•Be sure your hosts have the necessary capacity, or you will have performance bottlenecks•SQL Mirroring and Clustering now supported on virtual guests (KB 956893)

SHAREPOINT 2010 VIRTUALIZED FARM ARCHITECTURE
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Allows organizations that wouldn’t normally be able to have a test environment to run one
Allows for separation of the database role onto a dedicated server Can be more easily scaled out in the future

VIRTUALIZATION PERFORMANCE MONITORING
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Processor (Host Only) <60% Utilization = Good 60%-90% = Caution >90% = Trouble
Available Memory 50% and above = Good 10%-50% = OK <10% = Trouble
Disk – Avg. Disk sec/Read or Avg. Disk sec/Write Up to 15ms = fine 15ms-25ms = Caution >25ms = Trouble
Virtualization Performance MonitoringPerformance Counters and Thresholds
• Network Bandwidth – Bytes Total/sec– <40% Utilization =
Good– 41%-64% = Caution– >65% = Trouble
• Network Latency - Output Queue Length– 0 = Good– 1-2= OK– >2 = Trouble

SHAREPOINT VIRTUALIZATION SUPPORT
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Microsoft Support of SharePoint Virtualization
Microsoft’s official SharePoint support stance is that any SharePoint role or service is supported for hardware virtualization, including SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, or SQL Server 2008 R2. There are only three requirements for virtualization that must be satisfied, these are as follows: Hardware-assisted virtualization, which is available in
processors that include a virtualization option—specifically processors with Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology.
Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is available and enabled.
Either deployed on Microsoft Hyper-V (RTM or R2 version) or a validated third-party hypervisor that is part of the Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP) – KB 897615
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
What does this mean for SharePoint on Third party?
SharePoint supported on VMware ESX/ESXi, Citrix XenServer, or others in the SVVP
This only covers Hypervisor products, so excludes products such as VMware Workstation or VMWare Server
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 HYPER-V
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Hyper-V R2 for SP2010Overview
•Hyper-V Introduced shortly after released of Windows Server 2008 RTM•Hyper-V R2 included with Windows Server 2008 R2•Installs on any edition (Std., Ent, Datacenter)
Versions
•4x Hyper-V v1 Performance•Support for up to 384 Guests or 512 VPs, whichever comes first•Core Parking to reduce resource consumption
Performance
•Hot Add Storage•Processor Compatibility (Intel-Intel or AMD-AMD)
Flexibility
•Multipathing for network availability•Cluster Shared Storage Support•Live Migration host high availability with VMM 2008•Active/Active failover with no guest downtime
Availability

SYSTEM CENTER VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGER 2008 R2
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008
New version out (VMM 2008 R2) VMM 2008 R2 has P2V (Physical to virtual
migration) and V2V (VMware Guest migration to Hyper-V) tools
For SharePoint, allows for creation of SharePoint template servers that can be quickly provisioned for test farms or for new farm members in production
Can manage both Hyper-V and VMware guests (though must ‘go through’ a Virtual Center server to manage VMware guests.)
Self-Service Portal allows end users and remote admins to be able to provision their own virtual machines based on templates
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Quick SP2010 Farm Provisioning with VMM 2008 R2
1. Create new Virtual Guest (Windows Server 2008 R2)
2. Install SP2010 Binaries. Stop before running Config Wizard
3. Turn Virtual Guest into Template, modify template to allow it to be added into domain
4. Add PowerShell script to run on first login, allowing SP to be added into farm or to create new farm
Voila! 15 minute entire farm provisioning…

VIRTUALIZATION LICENSING
$ £ ¥ €
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Windows Server Virtualization Licensing Standard Edition: One virtual guest (if host is dedicated to
virtualization role) Enterprise Edition: Four virtual guests (if host is dedicated to
virtualization role) / Guests can be Std/Ent DataCenter Edition: Unlimited Number of Virtual Guests / Per
processor socket license Virtualization OS licensing applies to Hyper-V or any virtual host
software listed in SVVP (KB 897615) System Center Virtualization Licensing
System Center Management Suite Standard Edition License: Gives DPM, OpsMgr, ConfigMgr, and VMM Agents for 1 server.
System Center Management Suite Enterprise Edition License: Gives unlimited DPM, OpsMgr, ConfigMgr, and VMM Agents for all virtual guests on the host.
Check with Microsoft for Specifics…
Virtualized Farm ArchitectureMicrosoft Virtualization Licensing Primer
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Microsoft Virtualization Guest Licensing Model
Guests can run any combination of downlevel licenses (i.e. Datacenter host, Ent or Std edition guests)
Applies not only to OSes running virtualized with Windows Virtualization, but it also applies to 3rd party virtualization as well!
http://www.SharePointSaturday.org/Vietnam
Session Takeaways
Understand the architecture options for SharePoint 2010
Consider Virtualization for SharePoint, but architect host and guest environments very carefully.
Best performance comes from dedicated virtual hosts, dedicated passthrough NICs, and dedicated passthrough disks and by not overcommitting resources.
KB897615 outlines MS Support for 3rd Party Virtualization such as VMware and XenServer…
Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V technology gives high performance and is a very cost competitive option
MS Licensing has new virtualization support, and Datacenter edition will provide for unlimited guests under a single host.
