Objectives

• SQL Server Private Cloud• Arm DBAs with infrastructure knowledge• Improve DBA productivity, so you can add

value to the business

What we have heard?“We can’t virtualise database workloads”

“We would like to offer chargeback…but its too hard”

“We can’t have our crown jewels in the public cloud”

but….

“We would like to provide the business with an Azure like portal that enables them to create their own databases”

Best Practices: Virtualizing SQL Server

Fabric configuration (compute, storage, network)Host resiliency (high availability & disaster recovery)Virtual machine configurationSQL Server configurationManagement & operation

http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/1/D/61DDE9B6-AB46-48CA-8380-D7714C9CB1AB/Best_Practices_for_Virtualizing_and_Managing_SQL_Server_2012.pdf

Fabric• Hardware• Use SLAT enabled hardware• Intel – VT• AMD - -V

• Storage• Storage Spaces (HBA) vs Array Controller vs SAN• Scale out File Server/SMB 3.0

• Network• Use 10GbE• Use multiple physical adapters per host• NIC Teaming (on the Host)

Demo:Firebreathing dragon

Scaleout file server

Host Resiliency and VM Agility• Clustering

• Cluster Aware Updating

• Storage• Optimize for Random IO• Dedicate disks to SQL• Compute

• Get hardware with offload technologies ie. RSS, DCB, RSC, RDMA

• VM Affinity / Availability sets

• Live Migration• Live Storage Migration• Shared-nothing Live Migration

• Hyper-V Replica• Replicate disk changes to a VHD between sites• A cheaper HA option

VM Configuration• Operating System

• Configure templates to deploy Windows Server ‘Core’

• SQL Host and Guest CPU• Virtual NUMA

• SQL Memory• Dynamic Memory (manage this in WAP)

• SQL Storage• Virtual Disks

• VHDX -Fixed vs Dynamic sizing (not passthru)• Guest Storage

• SMB 3.0• Virtual Hard disk sharing (Server 2012 R2)

• SQL Network• DVMQ, vRSS• SR-IOV (virtual function on NIC)• QoS /DCB bandwidth management

SQL Server HADR• HA with Guest Clustering• Use anti affinity to keep VMs on separate hosts

• HA DR with Always On

• SQL Cluster / Clustering • Not limited by virtualization on Hyper-V• all SQL and Hyper-V features available and supported.

• Hyper-V Replica• Async, 30 seconds, 5 & 15 minute sync options• Azure Recovery Services

Sysprep Enhancement• What’s being delivered

• Extensions to SQL Server Sysprep functionality to support image based deployment of clustered SQL Server instances

• Main benefits• Full automation of SQL Server Failover Cluster deployment scenarios (private and

public cloud)• Reduces deployment times for SQL Server Failover

Clusters• Built on top of SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2 Sysprep

enhancements • Database Engine• Reporting Services• Analysis Services• Integration Services• Shared features

Buffer Pool Extension• What’s being delivered• Usage of non-volatile drives (SSD) to extend buffer pool

• Main benefits• Improve query performance• No risk of data loss (using clean pages only)• Easy configuration

Example:ALTER SERVER CONFIGURATIONSET BUFFER POOL EXTENSION ON(FILENAME = 'F:\SSDCACHE\EXAMPLE.BPE‘, SIZE = 50 GB)
