vSphere 6 – vMotion updates

CONFIDENTIAL 9

vSphere 6 vMotion Updates• Cross vSwitch vMotion

– Standard vSwitch to Standard vSwitch– Standard vSwitch to Distributed vSwitch– Distributed vSwitch to Distributed vSwitch– NOTE: Distributed vSwitch to Standard

vSwitch is NOT supported

• Cross vCenter vMotion– Both vCenter must be in the same SSO

Domain– No need for Shared Storage

• Shared Nothing Migration– Alarms, Events, HA, DRS setting all migrated

with VM

CONFIDENTIAL 10

vSphere 6 vMotion Updates• Long Distance vMotion

– 10ms is up to 150ms– Layer 2 Adjacency no longer a requirement

• vMotion support for Microsoft Clusters – Physical RDMs

CONFIDENTIAL 11

A Little Background on RAW Device Mapping• What is an RDM

– Raw Device Mapping – Allows a VM to have direct access to a Physical LUN

• Why use an RDM– Performance– SAN Management Agents – SCSI target-based software can

used– Most common use case for RDM is running Windows Server

Failover Clustering with SQL Server

CONFIDENTIAL 12

A Little Background on RAW Device Mapping• Types of RDMs

– Virtual• Some VMFS capabilities, like Snapshots• Cross Box and Same Host Clustering• More options for back end storage providers

– Physical• Cross Hosts Clustering• Larger LUNs• Great Flexibility for SAN tool management

VMFS Datastore

Mapping File

You Can Now vMotion Those SQL Nodes That Were Stuck on a Host• With the ability to vMotion in cluster or even across cluster running Business Critical

applications that participate in a cluster with Shared RDMs we are greatly reducing maintenance downtime and complexity
