CHALLENGES

Central management of infrastructure resources

Operational costs are increasing

Better abstraction of diverse infrastructure into something assignable pools of resources

Utilize both on premises and other resources to lower capital costs

Deploy the underlying management architecture

How to easily deploy Compute, Storage, and Networking resources

Decrease capital and operational costs of infrastructure

Use bigger, more capable servers and infrastructure more effectively

Utilize storage more effectively

Create associations between storage and VM through reconciling data from Hyper-V and storage arrays

Identify storage consumed by VM, host, and cluster

End-to-end mapping

Add storage to a host or cluster through masking operations, initialization, partitioning, formatting, and CSV cluster resource creation

Add storage capacity during new cluster creation

Capacity management

Create new VMs taking advantage of the SAN to copy the VHD

Utilize SMI-S copy services and replication profiles

Deploy to host or cluster at scale

Rapid provisioning


End-to-end mapping

Unified storage management API

• VMM integrates with Windows Server 2012 storage management API. • SMI-S, SMP, and Spaces* storage devices • disk and volume management• iSCSI/FC/SAS HBA initiator management

Windows Server discovery for Hyper-V

hosts• HBA Initiator ports (FC, iSCSI, SAS), volume, disk, NPIV, MPIO

Storage Monitoring

• Indications/eventing – SMI-S service subscribes to CIM lifecycle Indications and alert indications to keep cache in sync

• Monitoring of thin provision threshold alerts from disk (sense codes), health view showing impacted VMs, capacity trending reports

Storage Discovery• SAN discovery – FC, iSCSI, SAS• NAS discovery – Self-contained NAS, NAS Head• File Server discovery – Windows Scale-out File Server*• SAN / NAS / File Server Discovery levels



Storage Capacity Management Automation works for hosts, clusters, VMs and service instances

Connect iSCSI and fibre channel array iSCSI – Add iSCSI portal and logon to iSCSI target ports (works for Hyper-V host/cluster) FC – add target ports to zone (works for Hyper-V host, cluster, VM, and service

instance) Provision block and file storage

VM Networks


• Tenants with overlapping IP Address range share same physical network

• Packets isolated using embedded Subnet IDs

• Host address and SubnetID uniquely identifies individual VM

• Policies enforced at host level using PowerShell or System Center Virtual Machine Manager

• Supports L2 learning letting customers bring their own DHCP server, have locally assigned IP addresses for IPv6 and tenant control of IP address within their VM

• Supports guest clustering
