3. Implement Hyper-V

Question 1

DDA

Answer 1

Discrete Device Assignment allows the graphics card to be directly assigned/accessed by VMs

Question 2

NUMA

Answer 2

Non-Uniform Memory Access is a multiprocessor memory architecture that allows a processor to access its local memory quicker than memory located on another processor

Question 3

Dynamic Memory

Answer 3

Dynamic memory allows Hyper-V to automatically balance memory among running VMs on the host

Question 4

VMQ

Answer 4

Virtual Machine Queue uses packet filtering to provide data from an external VM network directly to VMs (requires VMQ compatible network hardware)

Question 5

Hyper-V Nesting

Answer 5

Ability to create VMs inside of other VMs

To turn on:
Set-VMProcessor -VMName -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

Question 6

Virtual Switch Manager Network Types

Answer 6

External: any VM can talk to the physical network/internet

Internal: VMs are able to talk to each other and the host but not the internet/physical network

Private: VMs can only talk to each other

Question 7

Types of Hyper-V Disks

Answer 7

1. Dynamically expanding disks
2. Fixed-size disks
3. Differencing disks
4. Pass-through disks

Question 8

Adding physical disk to Hyper-V VM

Answer 8

Disk must be “offline” in Disk Management

Question 9

Hyper-V Generations

Answer 9

Only use Gen1 if you need backwards compatibility with older Hyper-V hosts

Question 10

Switch Independent vs Switch Depending NIC Teaming

Answer 10

Switch Independent means each NIC adapter is connected into a different switch whereas Switch Dependent means that all NIC adapters are connected to the same switch

Question 11

RDMA

Answer 11

Remote Direct Memory Access allows one computer to directly access memory from another computer without interfacing at the OS level

Question 12

SET

Answer 12

Switch Embedded Teaming can be used instead of NIC Teaming in environments using both Hyper-V and Windows Software Defined Networking (SDN). Allows grouping multiple physical adapters into virtual adapters.

Question 13

Storage QoS

Answer 13

Storage Quality-of-Service allows you to manage storage throughput for virtual hard disks. Helps you guarantee single VHD cannot negatively affect performance of other VHDs on the host.

Question 14

Hyper-V Integration Components

Answer 14

Required to make guest OS hypervisor-aware

Question 15

Install Hyper-V on Server Core

Answer 15

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V

Question 16

Virtual Machine States

Answer 16

1. Off
2. Starting
3. Running
4. Paused
5. Saved

Question 17

State Options for Running VMs

Answer 17

1. Turn Off
2. Shut Down
3. Save
4. Pause
5. Reset
6. Resume
