Options for Making Virtual Machines HighlyAvailable

High Availability

options

Description

Host clustering Virtual machines are highly available

Does not require virtual machine operatingsystem or application to be cluster aware

Guest clustering Virtual machines are failover cluster nodes

Virtual machine applications must be clusteraware

Requires iSCSI or virtual fiber channelinterface for shared storage connections

NLB Virtual machines are NLB cluster nodes

Use for web-based applications

Best Practices for Implementing High Availability in aVirtual Environment

Use Windows Server 2012 as the Hyper-V host

Plan for failover scenarios

Plan the network design for failover clustering

Plan the shared storage for failover clustering

Use the recommended failover cluster quorummode

Deploy standardized Hyper-V hosts

Develop standard management practices

Requirements for Failover Clustering in Hyper-V

Hardware requirements: Cluster nodes & storage Server hardware & Storage

Network adapters & storage adapters

Software requirements: Cluster nodes

Must run either Server Standard or Server Datacenter (orHyper-V Server 2012)

Should have same software updates & service packs

Must be either full installation or Server Core installation

Network infrastructure requirements Network settings and IP addresses DNS & Domain role

Account for administering the cluster

Implementing Hyper-V VMs on Failover Cluster

1) Install and configure Windows Server 2012

2) Configure shared storage

3) Install the Hyper-V and failover clusteringfeatures

4) Validate the cluster configuration

5) Create the cluster

6) Create a virtual machine on one of the cluster

nodes7) Make the virtual machine highly available

Configuring Clustered Shared Volumes

CSV benefits: Fewer LUNs required

Better use of disk space

Virtual machine files are in a single logical location

No special hardware required Increased resiliency

To implement CSV: Create and format volumes on shared storage.

Add the disks to failover cluster storage.

Add the storage to the CSV.

Implementing Highly Available Virtual Machines onan SMB 3.0 File Share

In Windows Server 2012 you can store VM files onSMB 3.0 file share

File servers should be running Windows Server2012

File server cluster should be running in scale-outmode

Hyper-V Manager can be used to create or move

virtual machine files to SMB file share

Considerations for Implementing Hyper-V Clusters

Identify applications that require high availability

Identify application components that must behighly available

Identify the application characteristics

Identify the total capacity requirements

Create the Hyper-V design1) Verify basic requirements

2) Configure a dedicated network adapter for the privatevirtual network

3) Use similar host hardware

4) Verify network configuration

5) Manage Live Migrations

How Does Virtual Machine and Storage MigrationWork?

Storage Migration technology enables you to movea virtual machine and its storage to anotherlocation without downtime

During migration the virtual machine hard drive iscopied from one location to another

Changes are written to both source and destinationdrive

You can move virtual machine storage to same host,

another host, or server message block share Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in

different locations

How Does Hyper-V Replica Work?

Enables you to replicate a single virtual machineover WAN or LAN network to another host

Hyper-V replica components: Replication Engine

Change Tracking Network Module

Hyper-V Replica Broker role

Configuring Hyper-V Replica

1) Configure authentication options

2) Configure ports

3) Select replica servers

4) Select location for replica files

5) Enable replication on virtual machine
