Part 1

WINDOWS SERVER PLANNING


Getting Started
• To plan for virtualization, we first need to plan for
Windows Server
• Remember, to install Hyper-V we need a licensed
Windows Server
Windows Server Versions
• Windows Server versions currently supported for
installing Hyper-V:
– Window Server 2008
– Windows Server 2008 R2
– Windows Server 2012
– Windows Server 2012 R2
– Windows Server 2016
– Windows Server 2019 * We will use Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2019 Editions

Standard Datacenter

• 2 Virtual Machines, 1 • Unlimited Virtual


Hyper-V host per Machines, 1 Hyper-V
license host per license
Window Server Core vs GUI
• Server 2019 does not allow changing between Core and
Desktop Experience once selected.
• Important you pick the correct one during installation

Core Desktop Experience

• Stripped down, no GUI • Standard Windows GUI


• Interact with Command
Prompt/PowerShell
Hyper-V Server
• There is a Hyper-V Server, which adds some confusion.
• Hyper-V Server is a free version of Windows Server
• Optimized for use as Hyper-V host
– Contains Windows Hypervisor, driver model, virtualization
components
• Cannot install other server features (e.g. IIS, File Server)
• No GUI, only remote management.
• We won’t be using Hyper-V Server
Licensing
• Windows Server 2019 is licensed per core
• 1 Windows Server 2019 license allows you 2 physical
cores on a single server.
• Purchase 2-x core licenses – 8 licenses would give you
16 cores.
• Choose an Edition based on number of VMs running
• Licensing Datacenter makes sense if you have 14 or
more virtual machines on a physical host.
Part 2

CONSIDERATIONS FOR HYPER-V


VIRTUALIZATION
Physical Host
• Remember, you will need at least 1 physical server to act
as your host.
• We now need to consider our workloads and hardware
requirements

• Proper virtualization management requires capacity


planning
Example: Physical Computing Resources
Workload Number of Physical Amount of Physical Amount of Storage in
CPU Cores Memory in GB GB

Domain Controller 2 2 80

Domain Controller 2 2 80

Database Server 4 8 300

Mail Server 4 8 300

File/Print Server 2 4 500

TOTAL 14 CPU Cores 24 GB 1260 GB


Resource Demand
• We can use tools such as Perfmon, Task Manager to
discover resource information
• After examining resource demand for physical servers,
determine actual resources demand for each resource
• Remember, with a physical server, the resources are not
always fully utilized.

HYPER-V VIRTUALIZATION
PLANNING TOOLS
Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit
• MAP is a free tool
• Provides detailed readiness assessment reports
• Provides server utilization data for Hyper-V Server
virtualization planning
– Identifies server placements
– Performs virtualization candidate assessments
Example Discussion
SERVER VIRTUALIZATION
RECOMMENDATION
To Do
• Read
– Textbook Chapter 1
– Licensing Windows Server for Virtualization
– VMWare Capacity Planner Results Assessment Report
(FDCCD)
• Complete
– Analyze Section 4 Source Data and recommend Host
configuration for virtualizing servers
