Creating an SMB Share
From Server Manager:
1. Log on or connect to a
Windows Server 2012
computer on which the
File and Storage role is
installed. Open Server
Manager and navigate
to File and Storage
Services
2. In Server Manager, start
the New Share Wizard
With PowerShell:
# Create folder MD X:\VMS # Create file share New-SmbShare -Name VMS1
-Path X:\VMS -FullAccess Domain\HVAdmin, Domain\HV1$, Domain\HV2$, Domain\HVC$ # Set NTFS
permissions from the file share permissions (Get-SmbShare VMS1).PresetPathAcl | Set-Acl

VMware and Microsoft Hypervisors
Work at the CPU Level
Check out Tommy Patterson’s Blog Post
http://aka.ms/V-CPU
Migrating Storage to an SMB Share
You can migrate from…
• Direct-Attached Storage to SMB file share
• SMB file share to another SMB file share
1. To determine the current storage being used by a virtual machine:
Get-VM VM1 | FT Name, Path, State Get-VMHardDiskDrive VM1 | FT VMName, Path
2. To migrate the virtual machine storage to an SMB file share:
Move-VMStorage –VMName VM1 –DestinationStoragePath \\FST\VMS
3. To confirm migration:
Get-VM VM1 | FT Name, Path, State Get-VMHardDiskDrive VM1 | FT VMName, Path

• 2:1 with file shares, 20:1 with virtual
storage
• Less data to back up, archive, and
migrate

Storage Spaces Requirements
• Windows Server 2012
• Serial ATA (SATA) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
connected disks (in an optional just-a-bunch-ofdisks [JBOD] enclosure)
• Multinode clustered shared-storage deployments
• Two or more servers running Windows Server
2012
• Requirements as specified for failover
clustering and Windows CSV
• SAS connected JBODs that comply with
Windows Certification requirements

• The criterion for determining which drives are eligible to be part of a Pool are:
• Minimum drive size is 10 GB
• Drive is empty, i.e. no partition data exists on the drive
• Drive is not assigned to any other pool
• The Primordial Pool will consist of Physical Disks that are not assigned to
any existing Storage Pool

Data Redundancy in

Redundancy Type
Description
Simple
•
•
•
Data is striped across physical disks
Maximizes capacity
Increases throughput
Mirror
•
•
•
Data is duplicated on two or three physical disks
Increases reliability
Reduces capacity by 50 to 66 percent
Parity
•
•
•
Data and parity information are striped across physical disks
Increases reliability
Reduces capacity by 13 to 33 percent
Deduplication
• Capacity Optimization
• Scale and Performance
• Reliability and Data Integrity
Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX)
Token-based data transfer between
intelligent storage arrays
Benefits
• Rapid virtual machine provisioning and
migration
• Faster transfers on large files
• Minimized latency
• Maximized array throughput
• Less CPU and network use
• Performance not limited by network
throughput or server use
• Improved datacenter capacity and scale
