Native vs. Hosted Virtualization
Native
Hosted
Device support is inherited from host
operating system for maximum
hardware compatibility
Virtualization installs like an
application rather than like an
operating system
Can run alongside conventional
applications
Maximum performance with lowest overhead
using certified hardware
Highly efficient direct I/O pass-through
architecture for network and disk
Highly secure micro-kernel virtualization
layer
only 100Ks of lines of code versus 1025
million lines of host operating system code
Advanced features like VMotion available

Virtualization Overview
Hypervisor
Partitions computing resources of a server
for multiple VMs
Hypervisors alone lack coordination for
higher availability and efficiency
VMware vSphere
VMware vSphere goes beyond basic host
partitioning by aggregating infrastructure
resources into a giant virtual computer
Serves as a dynamic OS for a private
internal cloud in your datacenter

vSphere Components
vSphere is a distributed software
system with features enabled by
a management server and
hypervisor working together
VMware vCenter Server is the
management server and cluster
coordinator (1 instance required)
VMware ESXi is the hypervisor
software running on each host (1
instance per server required)
VMware ESX / ESXi VMware ESX / ESXi VMware ESX / ESXi

What is the VMware vSphere Hypervisor?
VMware vSphere Hypervisor is the new name for what was formerly known
as VMware ESXi Single Server or free ESXi (often abbreviated to simply
VMware ESXi).
VMware vSphere Hypervisor is the free edition of the vSphere product line.
It is licensed to only unlock the hypervisor functionality of vSphere, but it
can be seamlessly upgraded to more advanced offerings of VMware
vSphere.
vSphere Hypervisor is based only on the ESXi hypervisor
vSphere Hypervisor is target to virtualization first time users

S-22
ESXi Convergence

What is Network I/O Control (NETIOC) ?
Network I/O control is a traffic management feature of vSphere
Distributed Switch (vDS)
In a consolidated IO (10 gig) deployments this feature allows
customer to
Allocate Shares and Limits to different traffic types.
Provide Isolation
One traffic type should not dominate others
Guarantee Service Levels when different traffic types compete
Enhanced Network I/O Control vSphere 5.0 builds on previous
versions of Network I/O Control feature by providing
User-defined network resource pools

The Upgrade to VMFS-5 is clearly displayed in the vSphere Client
under Configuration -> Storage view.
It is also displayed in the Datastores -> Configuration view.
Non-disruptive upgrades.

S-89
VAAI Thin Provisioning - Dead Space Reclamation
Dead space is previously written
blocks that are no longer used
by the VM. For instance after a
Storage vMotion
vSphere conveys block
information to storage system via
VAAI & storage system reclaims
the dead blocks
Storage vMotion, VM deletion &
swap file deletion can trigger
the thin LUN to free some
physical space
ESXi 5.0 uses the a standard
SCSI command for dead space
reclamation.

Running Business Critical Applications with Confidence
vSphere HA provides the right availability

any application
Allows for:
Protection of Tier 1 Applications
Restart of VM upon Application Failure
VM High Availability
Virtual Machine Health Monitoring
Host High Availability

Every host runs an agent.
Referred to as FDM or Fault Domain Manager
One of the agents within the cluster is chosen to
assume the role of the Master
There is only one Master per cluster during normal
operations
All other agents assume the role of Slaves
There is no more Primary/Secondary
concept with vSphere HA

Storage-Level Communications
One of the most exciting new features of
vSphere HA is its ability to use a storage
subsystem for communication.
The datastores used for this are referred to
as Heartbeat Datastores.
This provides for increased communication
redundancy.
Heartbeat datastores are used as a
communication channel only when the
management network is lost - such as in
the case of isolation or network partitioning.

Datastore Cluster
An integral part of SDRS is to create a group of datastores called a
datastore cluster.
Datastore Cluster without Storage DRS Simply a group of datastores.
Datastore Cluster with Storage DRS - Load Balancing domain similar to a
DRS Cluster.
A datastore cluster , without SDRS is just a datastore folder. It is the
functionality provided by SDRS which makes it more than just a folder.

Storage DRS Operations Initial Placement
Initial Placement - VM/VMDK create/clone/relocate.
When creating a VM you select a datastore cluster rather than an
individual datastore and let SDRS choose the appropriate datastore.
SDRS will select a datastore based on space utilization and I/O load.
By default, all the VMDKs of a VM will be placed on the same datastore
within a datastore cluster (VMDK Affinity Rule), but you can choose to
have VMDKs assigned to different datastore clusters.

Evacuates all VMs & VMDKs from selected datastore.
Note that this action will not move VM Templates.
Currently, SDRS only handles registered VMs.

VMDK affinity
Keep a Virtual Machines
VMDKs together on the
same datastore
Maximize VM availability
when all disks needed in
order to run
On by default for all VMs

VMDK anti-affinity
Keep a VMs VMDKs on
different datastores
Useful for separating
log and data disks of
database VMs
Can select all or a
subset of a VMs disks

Datastore Cluster
VM anti-affinity
Keep VMs on different
datastores
Similar to DRS anti-
affinity rules
Maximize availability of
a set of redundant VMs

Datastore Cluster
S-160
SDRS Scheduling
SDRS allows you to create a schedule to change its settings.
This can be useful for scenarios where you dont want VMs to migrate
between datastore or when I/O latency might rise, giving false negatives,
e.g. during VM backups.

So what does it look like? Provisioning
S-162
So what does it look like? Load Balancing
It will show utilization before and after
Theres always the option to override the recommendations
