! important ! Name 7 best practices on how to configure Hyper-V hosts | - Provision the host with adequate hardware - Deploy VM's on seperate disks - Hyper-V should be the only server role installed - Manage Hyper-V remotely - Run Hyper-V in server core - Run the Best Practice Analyzer - Use Generation 2 VM's |
How to provision the Hyper-V host with adequate hardware? | - Provide enough RAM - Provide enough processing capacity - Provide fast storage - Designate a team of network adapters |
Why should the host OS and the VM files be stored on seperate disks? | - To ensure Host OS and VM's read/write operations don't conflict - The host OS volume can grow, without consuming space for the VM's |
What storage technology can be used to increase performance for the VM's? | Striping, for example RAID 1+0 array |
How can you store multiple VM's on a LUN? | By using Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV's) |
It is recommended to only install the Hyper-V role on a server. But, if you do require other roles to be hosted on the same physical hardware, what should you do? | Deploy the roles in VM's running on this hardware |
Why do you not want to install different roles alongside the Hyper-V role on a host? | Because this consumes resources which else could have been used by the Hyper-V role |
Why do you want to manage Hyper-V remotely instead of locally? | Because logging in locally to the server, your sessions consumes resources. |
Why would you want to install Hyper-V on a Server Core? | - The Server Core OS consumes less hardware resources, therefore, leaving more for the hosted VM's - The Server Core OS requires fewer updates, and therefore, fewer restarts |
A Hyper-V host sometimes has to be restarted. What can you do to prevent the VM's from being down as well? | Use a clustered Hyper-V environment. This allows you to fail over the VMs to a different host. |
How can you determine the hardware resource utilization of a VM? | Resource Metering This shows how VM's are using their resources |
How can you identify configuration specific issues on a Hyper-V host? | By running the Best Practice Analyzer |
Name 5 features/functionalities that Generation 2 VM's provide in contract to Generation 1 VM's | - PXE boot from a standard NIC (on a Gen1 VM this is only possible from a Legacy Network Adapter) - Hot Add/Removal of Virtual Network Adapters - SCSI controller boot from VHD and DVD - Secure Boot - Shielded VM's |
