Guidelines for Designing Virtu

Machines Standardize the Virtual Machine configuration

Plan virtual machines for specific server roles by Monitoring the servers before virtualization

Configuring each VM with a hardware configuration sthe hardware required on a physical server

Deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 virmachines whenever possible

Install Integration Services whenever possible to imintegration between the physical computer and thmachine

Moving VMs to a 2008 R2 H Backup / Restore

Varies based on backup provider Export / Import

Export VMs that are not running Saves snapshots, VHDs, VMs, config XML

Import VMs Move VM (keeps same unique ID)

Copy VM (creates new unique ID) Duplicate VM (allows for multiple new VMs)

Configuring Virtual Networ

Configured from Virtual Network Manager

External Networks

VMs can communicate with other computers on the network

Only 1 per physical NIC

Internal Networks

VMs can communicate with only other VMs on the same host,

and with the host computer

Private Networks

VMs can communicate only with other VMs on the same host

Hyper-V Microsoft reserved first 3 octets

00-15-5d-**-**-**

Each host has a random pool 00-15-5D-**-**-00

Sysprepping after installing Hyper-Vwill cause both hosts to have thesame pool

Default range of 256 addresses

Configuring Firewall Rule

Automatically configured during Hyper-V role installation

Check Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

On Server Core use SConfig tool

Automatically configured when adding a host via VMM

Failover Clustering with a File Server or VMM Library requires

Volume Management to be unblocked

Creating VHDs Use the Virtual Disk Wizard

Disk Type: Fixed, Dynamically Expanding,Differencing

Configure Disk: Size, Contents can be copied fromanother location

Configuration can be changed using the VM

Target: Create virtual disks

Initiator(s): Request access to disks

Target: Accept access request from initiator(s)

Initiator(s): Refresh configuration to check con

Initiator(s): Login to the target Enable automatic reconnections

Servers: Initialize, format and bring disks online
