Understanding Hyper-V over SMB 3.0 Through Specific Test Cases

In Windows Server 2012, the new Hyper-V over SMB scenario was introduced, supporting the storage of live VMs on a file share using the SMB 3.0 protocol. In this session, we’ll take look closer at this scenario by describing specific test cases you can try yourself with either Windows Server 2012 File Servers or third party implementations of SMB 3.0. These include: Configuring the File Server (Standalone, Traditional or Scale-Out) and the Hyper-V hosts (standalone or clustered). Failing one of multiple NICs while VM is running. Live Migrating and Storage Migrating VMs on an SMB share (in a cluster or standalone). Saving, resuming and snapshotting a VM on an SMB share. Creating a Hyper-V Replica of a VM on an SMB share. Performing planned and unplanned failover of both the File Server cluster nodes and the Hyper-V cluster nodes or File server cluster nodes. Backing up VM using VSS for SMB File Shares.
Learning Objectives

Describe the main scenarios for configuration of file server clusters and Hyper-V clusters using SMB file shares.
Understand the different types of Hyper-V Live Migration and Storage Migration related to SMB file shares.
Outline the different types of planned and unplanned failover cases for Hyper-V over SMB and how to provide continuously available SMB storage.
