Virtual Hard Disks in Hyper-V 2012
Windows Server 2012 introduces the new VHDX format for virtual hard disks, which:
Supports bigger disks – Up to 64TBProtection against data corruption during power failures by logging updates to the VHDX metadata structuresSupports better alignment when deployed to a large sector diskAllows larger block size for dynamic and differencing disks, which provides better performance – 4K cluster disks
Converting Disks
You can perform the following maintenance operations on virtual hard disks:
Convert the disk from fixed to dynamicConvert the disk from dynamic to fixedConvert a virtual hard disk in VHD format to VHDXConvert a virtual hard disk in VHDX format to VHD
Location Considerations of Virtual Hard Disks
When planning the location of virtual hard disks, ensure the following:
Virtual hard disk files are stored on a volume that is configured for redundancyVirtual hard disk files are stored on high-performance storageVirtual hard disk files configured for growth should be placed on volumes with adequate space
Storage on SMB 3 File Shares
Hyper-V can store the following on SMB 3 files shares:Configuration filesVurtual hard disk files (in VHD and/or VHDX format)Snapshot files
** SMB 3 is available in Windows Server 2012 only, and not in earlier Windows Server versions
Fibre Channel Support in Hyper-V
The Fiber Channel Adapter:
Allows a virtual machine to directly connect to a Fiber Channel SANRequires that the Hyper-V host has a Fiber Channel HBARequires that the Fiber Channel HBA driver supports virtual Fibre Channel
Storage Migration
Storage Migration technology enables you to move a virtual machine and its storage to another location without downtime.
During migration the virtual machine hard drive is copied from one location to anotherChanges are written to both source and destination driveYou can move virtual machine storage to same host, another host, or server message block share (SMB)Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in different locations
Live Storage Migration
Enables Storage Load Balancing
No downtime servicing

What's New in Hyper-V Networking?
NIC TeamingPerformance and AccelerationSecurity
NIC Teaming
We can connect up to 32 NICs in a single team. That’s a lot of bandwidth!NICs in a single team can be different models from the same manufacturer or even NICs from different manufacturersMultiple teaming modes:
Generic/Static Teaming requires the switches to be configured for the team and isn’t dynamicLACP is self-discovering and enables dynamic expansion and reduction of the NICs in the teamSwitch independent works with just a single switch – switches have no knowledge of the team.
Performance and Acceleration
Bandwidth Management allows you to easily reserve minimum or set maximums to provide QoS controls to manage to a service level agreementDynamic Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) uses hardware packet filtering to deliver packet data from an external virtual machine network directly to virtual machines to reduce the overhead of copying thru the Management OSIPsec Task Offload moves this workload from the main computer's CPU to a dedicated processor on the network adapterSR-IOV is a specification that allows a PCIe device to appear to be multiple separate physical PCIe devices
Security
DHCP Guard is a security feature that drops DHCP server messages from unauthorized virtual machines pretending to be DHCP servers.Router Guard is a security feature that drops Router Advertisement and Redirection messages from unauthorized virtual machines pretending to be routers.
What's New in VM Mobility?
NIC TeamingPerformance and AccelerationSecurityBest Practices
Complete mobility. Simply the best.
Live Migration with High AvailabilityLive Migrate among servers in a failover cluster
SMB Live MigrationLive Migrate VMs among servers with SMB storage
Live Storage MigrationLive Migrate VM storage from one volume to another without downtime
Share Nothing (SNO) Live MigrationLive Migrate VMs among servers with nothing, but an Ethernet connection
Hyper-V Replica
Disaster Recovery Scenarios: Planned, Unplanned and Test FailoverPre-configuration for IP settings for primary/remote location
Key Features:RPO/RTO in minutesSeamless integration with Hyper-V and ClusteringAutomatically handles all VM mobility scenarios (e.g. Live migration)Supports heterogonous storage between primary and recoveryIntegrates with Volume Shadow Services (VSS)
Hyper-V Replica

Private Cloud Management
Private CloudAbstraction that enables opaque usage model for service and VM management
FabricCompute: Logical grouping of hosts or host clusters in host groups
Storage: Storage Classifications, Pools, Providers and Arrays
Network: Logical Networks, IP/MAC Address Pools, Load Balancers, VIP Templates
Delegation - User RoleQuota: Defines per-user limits on compute, memory, storage, number of VMs
Cloud Capacity
Cloud can exposeAggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage)Oversubscription is allowed
Dimensions of CapacityNumber of CPUsAmount of MemoryType of and amount StorageNumber of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)
Private Cloud Usage Scenario
Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage)
Create a cloud from the fabric
Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User
Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud
