16. Quick Migration Planned downtime Quick migration enables movement of running virtual machines from one host to other host servers with minimal downtime. Domain Controller Virtualization Servers (3+1 Servers) • Active server requires servicing • Move virtualized workloads to a • standby server Microsoft Solutions and Technologies Ethernet Storage Connectivity VHD Failover Cluster Manager VHDs on SAN 17

17. Quick Migration Unplanned downtime Quick migration provides an instant failover plan for unplanned downtime. Domain Controller • Active server loses power • Virtual machines automatically restart on the next cluster node • If there is not enough memory, the failover automatically moves to the next node until done Virtualization Servers (3+1 Servers) Microsoft Solutions and Technologies Domain Controller Ethernet Storage Connectivity VHD Failover Cluster Manager VHDs on SAN 18

18. Cluster ManagementMicrosoft® System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Easy Management of Hyper-V™ Host Clusters • Add entire Hyper-V™ host cluster in a single step • Automatic detection of node additions/removals Cluster Reserve • Specify the number of node failures to sustain while keeping all high availability virtual machines (VM) running • Intelligent Placement ensures that new high availability VMs will not over commit the cluster • Node failures automatically trigger over commit recalculation Microsoft Products: 19

19. Guest Clustering Guest clustering protects against failure of a cluster-aware application on a guest as well as failure of an individual instance of a guest. Node 1 • Virtual machine cluster aware workloads • File, print, DNS, DHCP, SQL Server® 2008, etc. • Virtual machines are clustered using SCSI • Guest clusters can co-exist with quick migration host clusters iSCSI Target Private Virtual Network Node 2 Microsoft Products: 20

20. Network Load Balancing Scalability • Load balance individual TCP/IP requests across the cluster • Manage multiple server requests from the same client or from several clients across multiple hosts in the cluster High Availability • Automatically detects and recover from a failed or offline computer • Rebalances the network load automatically when servers are added or removed Microsoft Products: 21

22. Disaster Recovery • Stretch Clustering

23. Differences between Single-site and Multi-site Clusters Single-site Cluster Multi-site Cluster Two node single-site cluster Primary Site Secondary Site WAN Connectivity VMs move between physical nodes on different SANs and without true shared storage between the sites VMs move between nodes on the same SAN and share common storage SAN SAN SAN SAN Replication Primary Storage Array Secondary Storage Array Storage Array • Multi-site clusters have different independent storage arrays in each site • Each node in distributed clusters typically access storage from local sites • “True” shared disk not visible to all nodes • Common physical location • Common shared storage infrastructure (SAN) presents a shared disk visible to all nodes 24

24. Microsoft Stretch Clustering and Storage Continuity Secondary Site Primary Site • Geographically distributed clusters are extended to different physical locations • Stretch clustering uses the same concept as local site clustering • Storage array or third party software provides SAN data replication Stretch clustering automatically fails VMs over to a geographically different site SAN SAN Replicated data from site A Primary site data is replicated to the secondary site Storage Array Storage Array Multi-site stretch configurations can provide automatic failover 25

33. VMware® Site Recovery Manager (SRM) What SRM Is What SRM Is Not • Does not provide high availability or stretch clustering services • SAN replication remains a function of the array provider or third party software provider and must be pre-configured • Only supports storage vendors who write Storage Replication Adapters (SRA) • Does not easily support automated failback • SRM 1.0 was released as plug-in for vCenter in June 2008 • Helps simplify and automate disaster recovery plans • Supports testing of disaster recovery plans • Allows vCenter users to initiate automated failover plans • Licensed per CPU socket on the ESX server hosting the protected VMs in the “protected site” 34

34. Site Recovery Manager Specifics • vCenter and the Site Recovery Manager Server add-in are required at both “protected” and “recovery” sites • Custom Storage Replication Adapters are required from each storage partner for: • array discovery, LUN discovery, test initiation, and failover • SAN replication still requires array specific or third party software – SRM does not provide SAN replication “Protected” Site “Recovery” Site VMware® Vcenter and SRM Module VMware® Vcenter and SRM Module WAN Connectivity VMware® ESX SRM Server VMware® ESX SRM Server Storage Replication Adapter* Vendor Management Interface* Storage Replication Adapter* API Calls API Calls Vendor Management Interface* Pre-configured SAN array or third party SAN replication required * Storage Provider Developed Components 35

35. Site Recovery Manager Failover “Protected” Site VMware® Vcenter and SRM Module • Failover to “recovery” site is initiated by IT administration • Solution can be automated based on vendor storage replication adapters (SRAs) • Data-store meta-data, VM configuration files are backed-up at the recovery site and ready for implementation • At failure, SRA connects with vendor management interface and write enables the mirrored data • vCenter at the disaster recovery site scans the data-stores and activates the protected VMs SRM Server VMware® ESX Storage Replication Adapter Vendor Management Interface “Recovery” Site VMware® Vcenter and SRM Module VM® ware ESX SRM Server Storage Replication Adapter Vendor Management Interface 36
