VMware vSphere to Microsoft Hyper-V Shuffle
VMware vSphere Virtualization Support and Training Resources »
The past few weeks we saw some interesting blog postings on VMware and its future with SMBs. Of course, any increase in Hyper-V market share will either need to come from greenfield virtualization projects or conversion from existing VMware installations.

Windows Server “8” Beta: Hyper-V & Scale-up Virtual Machines - Part 2
Microsoft Windows 8 Resources, News and Support »
In the last blog, we discussed how Windows Server “8” introduces NUMA for virtual machines and how Hyper-V automatically does the right thing when creating a virtual machine. Let’s take this a step further and discuss what improvements have been made from the Windows 8 Developer Preview to the Windows Server “8” Beta (and Client Hyper-V in Windows 8 Consumer Preview).

Hyper-V on Hyper-Drive, Part 4: Monitoring Hyper-V The Right Way
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
Now that we have the basics of Microsoft Hyper-V down, let's look at how to monitor performance of VMs and how your skills in this area translate from the physical to the virtual world. There's sometimes a sense among IT pros (or their bosses) that performance monitoring isn't necessary any longer -- "just beef up the VM with more resources" -- but I think it's vital to understand what's going on under the covers because that's essential knowledge when things go wrong. It also pays to be able to determine which resource (Processor, Disk, Network, Memory) is under pressure.

The Rise of Hyper-V? SolarWinds Hits a Virtual VMware Nerve
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
Vendor food fights are sometimes enjoyable to watch provided you are not in the middle. Last week, we saw VMware react to a SolarWinds blog post claiming that Gartner is predicting that 85% of businesses with less than 1,000 employees will be Microsoft Hyper-V shops. The SolarWinds reference is not quoted, so it is tough to say whether this is accurate or not. VMware countered with:

Remote Administration With PowerShell 3.0 Sessions - Part 1
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
In response to my recent set of posts someone pointed me to a new PowerShell 3.0 feature of PowerShell sessions – RunAs… I had seen people use PowerShell session configurations in the past but I had never really seen a need to use them myself that is until now. With the challenges of constrained delegation and some of the limitations of CredSSP the ability to define an account on your Hyper-V hosts for which all commands will run in the context of can be very powerful and that’s exactly what this provides.

Option to remove .BIN files with Hyper-V in Windows “8”
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
In Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 – starting a virtual machine would result in Hyper-V creating a .BIN file which matched the size of the memory assigned to the virtual machine. We did this to ensure that we always had enough disk space available to create a saved state (which is particularly critical if the physical computer is shutting down – and the virtual machine is configured to save state when the physical computer shuts down).

Hyper-V Remote Management With PowerShell
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
You may have already read my previous two posts on Hyper-V remote management using the UI and configuring Constrained Delegation, for some people that will not be an option or is just undesirable... Well with Windows 8 and the joy of PowerShell we have another option. Many of the new Hyper-V PowerShell cmdlets (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848559.aspx) take a computername parameter to allow for remote usage however if you are creating a virtual machine using SMB storage or if your are live migrating a VM you run into the same double hop constrained delegation problem as with the UI. Luckily we have PowerShell remoting or WinRM remoting more specifically.

Enabling Hyper-V Remote Management - Configuring Constrained Delegation For Non-Clustered Live Migration
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
In Windows Server 8 we added the ability to live migrate virtual machines without the requirement of a cluster i.e. standalone live migration. For this feature to work the storage the virtual machine is using must be available to both Hyper-V severs which implies that it’s hosted on an SMB share – we also have the ability to perform a live storage migration in concert with the virtual machine live migration in Windows Server 8 but I’ll get to that latter. If you read my last post on Enabling Hyper-V Remote Management - Configuring Constrained Delegation For SMB and Highly Available SMB which discusses configuring the Hyper-V severs to delegate credentials to the SMB server this process is similar to that and the configuration of the SMB delegation is a prerequisite for this post.

Are Hyper-V and App-V the new Windows Servers?

Enabling Hyper-V Remote Management - Configuring Constrained Delegation For SMB and Highly Available SMB
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
Windows Server 8 brings support for storing and running Hyper-V virtual machines on SMB2.2 file shares, which is pretty handy, especially with the new Scale-Out/Continuously Available file server features in Windows Server 8. However it does bring one challenge to the table – if you want to remotely manage your Hyper-V servers and use SMB then Kerberos's single hop tickets become a problem.

Everything you wanted to know about SR-IOV in Hyper-V Part 3
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
So far in this series, we’ve looked at the “why” question, and the hardware aspects of SR-IOV, and identified that to use SR-IOV in Hyper-V it is necessary to have system hardware support in the form of an IOMMU device, and a PCI Express device which has SR-IOV capabilities. Now it’s time to start taking a look at the software aspects. In this part, I’ll look at device drivers.

In part 1, I discussed why Microsoft has been investing in SR-IOV for device I/O from virtual machines. The key points were to reduce latency, increase throughput, lower compute overhead, and for future scalability. Part two takes a look at SR-IOV from a hardware perspective.

Using PowerShell to Storage Migrate with Windows Server “8”
Microsoft Windows 8 Resources, News and Support »
Yesterday I showed you how to do a simple storage migration using the Hyper-V Manager user interface. Today I want to show you how to do the same thing in PowerShell – and in my opinion it is even easier to do in PowerShell than with our user interface.
