  D: Configuring CSV Cache Windows Server 2012 R2

  1.

  Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt

  2.

  Define the size of the size of the cache to be reserved (example of setting to 1 GB)

  (Get-Cluster). BlockCacheSize = 1024

  Note:

  * There are two configuration settings that allow you to control CSV Cache.

  E: CsvEnableBlockCache This is a private property of the cluster Physical Disk resource. It allows you to enable CSV Cache on an individual disk. This gives you the flexibility to configure cache for read intensive VMs running on some disks,

  while allowing you to disable and prevent random I/O on other disks from purging the cache. For example parent VHD's with high reads you would enable caching on Disk1, and high writes for differencing disks the CSV cache could be

  disabled on Disk2. The default setting is 0 for disabled, setting to a value of 1 enables CSV Block Cache on that disk. Note: In Windows Server 2012 R2 this property has been renamed to EnableBlockCache and is Enabled by default.

  D: SharedVolumeBlockCacheSizeInMB This is a cluster common property that allows you to define how much memory (in megabytes) you wish to reserve for the CSV Cache on each node in the cluster. If a value of 512 is defined, then 512

  MB of system memory will be reserved on each node in the Failover Cluster.

  Configuring a value of 0 disables CSV Block Cache. Note:

  In Windows Server 2012 R2 this property has been renamed to BlockCacheSize.

  * The main new features of the VHDX format are:

  / Support for virtual hard disk storage capacity of up to 64 TB. / Protection against data corruption during power failures by logging updates to the VHDX metadata structures.

  / Improved alignment of the virtual hard disk format to work well on large sector disks.

  

• Question 59:

  A company has Windows Server 2012 R2 servers that have the Hyper-V role installed. The guest virtual machines are configured as follows:

  

  You need to configure the environment to support the creation of failover clusters. What should you do?

  A. Convert the data drives to use the VHDX file format.
  B. Convert the operating system drive to use the virtual hard disk (VHD) file format.
  C. Convert the virtual machines to Generation 2 virtual machines.
  D. Upgrade the operating system to Windows Server 2012 R2.
  A. Convert the data drives to use the VHDX file format.

  ---

  Shared virtual hard disk functionality in guest failover clusters exclusively uses the .vhdx file format. Although the shared virtual hard disk must use the .vhdx file format for the data drive, the operating system disk for a virtual machine can use either the .vhd or the .vhdx file format. Generation 1 and Generation 2 virtual machines are supported in a guest failover cluster using a shared virtual hard disk.

  http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2012/08/21/integrating-vmm-2012-and-opsmgr- 2012.aspx Step 1: (C)

  The Operations Manager is a requirement.

  With System Center Operations Manager 2012 SP1, customers can now monitor Hyper-V Replica using a Management Pack available for free from the SCOM catalogue.

  Step 2: (A)

  An Operations Manager agent is a service that is installed on a computer. The agent collects data, compares sampled data to predefined values, creates alerts, and runs responses.

  A management server receives and distributes configurations to agents on monitored computers.

  Step 3: (B)

  Enter in one of your management server names to provide the SDK connection to VMM. Next we will need two accounts. One for SCVMM to connect to SCOM, and one for SCOM to connect to SCVMM.
