New Feature - Storage spaces (effectively LVM)
- component of file and storage services
- builtin storage virtualization engine
- allows aggregation of multiple storage devices / types (storage pools)
- supports redundancy, fault-tolerance and resiliency
- successor / replacement of the Disk Management Console
Deploy and manage storage spaces with PowerShell
Storage spaces (SS) - Drive allocation
- Data Store (default)
- Manual (marks the drive for a pool, but does not activate for use)
- Hot Spare
Next generation - ReFS - Resilient file system
- features: checksumming, metadata integrity, disk scrubbing
Building the next generation file system for Windows: ReFS (cannot boot from ReFS)
Partition types
- MBR - Master Boot Record - 4 partitions per drive, 2TB max partition
- GPT - GUID Partition Table (Win2k3 or newer) - 128 partitions per drive, 8ZB max partition size
Backup
- is stored as VHD (csn be mounted or booted from)
- backups are stored as unencrypted and uncompressed
- enterprise solution - Data Protection Manager - DPM - 2012
- GUI or wbadmin (command line tool)
VSS - Volume shadow copy
- can use to restore previous versions of file
- can be customised - Volume properties sheet
- VSSAdmin - command line tool
Cloud computing - Types of cloud computing
- Microsoft Azure
Monitoring - Technet Events and Errors Center or EventID.net
Resource Metering - Hyper-V Resource Metering in Windows server 2012
Universally Relevant Perfmon Counters
- Processor (CPU) - % Proc Time, Interrupts / Sec, Proc Queue Length
- Memory - Pages / Second
- Physical Disk - % Disk Time, Avg. Disk Queue Length
- Network - Current Bandwidth, Output Queue Length, Bytes Transferred / Sec
Data Collector Set (DCS) - Perf counters, Trace Data, System Config (Registry Keys)
- Alerts - based on threshold value - write to event log, email, etc.
Network Monitor - Network traffic / protocol analysis - Netmon tool - nmcap.exe (cmd line tool)
- Parsers - Network Monitor Open Source Parsers
Resource monitor - Real time monitoring tool
