Don't need to know if Hyper-V is better or worse than ESXI or whatever other option there is :p

Ok, So I've shown the boss that we can upgrade newer software while keeping our current hardware by doing some virtualization.

NOTE - This is not a huge corp - LOL like 20 to 30 Users at MOST. I know we could do it all on Server 2012 Essentials or SBS 2011 but we need full fledge SQL for the new database we are gonna be running and SBS doesn't do Hyper-V I think. ESXI I guess could work there but still :p

We have 2 machines running Windows SBS 2003 R2 (#1) and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise (#2):

#1 Roles:

AD/DHCP/DNS/SharePoint(including SQL built in)

#2 Roles:

SQL 2005 for a program we use and File Sharing.

#1 runs on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 Dual (2) Quad Core Xeon 5405 - with 4GB now (Max is 32/64GB - can't figure out which!) 3x 15K SAS 146GB in RAID 5*

#2 runs on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 Single Quad Core Xeon 5430 - 8GB now. 3x SAS 15K 300GB in RAID 5*

* = I know RAID 5 sucks for write performance so that's already being switch to a RAID10.

Ok So what do you guys think about my plan to switch everything to #1, stuff some more RAM in there up to 20-30GB and virtualize?

So it would be like this:

#1 = Windows Server 2012 - AD/DHCP/DNS/File Shares + Program we use now but using SQL Express it comes with (has to be 2005!!)

#1.1 = Windows Server 2012 - Exchange 2010 and IIS for the web and ActiveSync stuff.

#1.2 = Windows Server 2012 - SQL 2008 SP3 + NEW Software for new database we getting.

#1 = 4 - 8GB Of RAM

#1.1 = 12GB of RAM

#1.2 = 8GB of RAM

Sounds do-able or am i just dreaming?

I am running #1 and 1.1 now on another (older) 2950 with 9GB and been part of the domain for like a week too and seems stable (other than known issues :p).

Any tweaks or changes you guys think would make it run better? Thanks!

Question 2 - Storage is an issue if you ask me, boss being cheap! I wanted to get 4 x 1TB SAS 7200RPM drives for $150 each to build the RAID 10. Now my plan is to use 2 x 146GB in RAID 1** and the 4 x 300GB 15K SAS in RAID 10.

So I know it's not recommended to run Exchange on a dyanamic VHD - but what if I ONLY put the Windows Install there but put the Information Store and other data that Exchange writes to (log and such) on a FIXED VHD of say 60GB while keeping the Windows/Exchange Install to a dynamic C drive to cut down on space usage (only like 20-30GB VHD then)?

** - Should I do RAID0 instead of RAID1 for the 146GB drives (OS ONLY, no Data) for more performance since we backup to a USB Drive + (PLUS) OFFSITE backup evernight? Shadow Copies - which they (offsite people) test by booting it in a VM to see if it works.

Added clarification to the RAID0 question.

Idk, esx is very easy to use, almost brainless even. The host os uses very little resources. I would certainly up your drive space. Do not do raid0, I would not recommend that practice in a business environment or on servers. You want the ability to fail and keep running.

Think of it like this, how critical is it for the business to stay running? If it can stop for a few days while you completely rebuild the servers then do RAID 0, if it can't afford to be down, do not do RAID 0. I don't know of any businesses that can be afford to be down for mutilple days. The best that I have seen for disaster recovery is 15 minutes up time, with configuration of the networks involved. The worst is your scenerio and what you are contemplating (RAID0 in a majority vm environment). If you implement your solution have the business owner prepared that he will never open his doors again after a drive failure.

You can sure virtualize everything to keep costs down on hardware and only consume software costs. You will need to Max out those boxes with memory (the free vmware hypervisor maxes out at 32GB). I would also try to either max out the drive space on the servers or I would consider purchasing the essentials plus from vmware or purchase the datacenter server from microsoft to be able to support iscsi and get a iscsi appliance to increase drive space exponentially.

Exchange 2010 doesn't currently work on server 2012, hopefully it will with a future update. Because of this I'm using Exchange 2013 Preview at home lol

Exchange 2010 does "work" on 2012 actually. I'm using now in a live production setup too (bad bad! I know, boss doesn't like "it's supposed to based on X" - wants to see it working before he commits to costs). - used this to get it installed:

http://syscomlab.blo...ws-server-2012/

Not to say there aren't a few little issues but those are from Upgrading from SBS 2003 R2 to Exchange 2010. It's not supported obviously but it is running now in a Hyper-V for testing - currently synced with the SBS 2003 R2 Exchange.

There's the can't install SP2 RU4 (error 1603) but that's not specific to my setup as people with 2008 R2 and 2010 having issues too.

/offtopic

How is 2013 Chris123NT - i would so do that too as i'm a beta guinea pig but guess i wouldn't put my job at risk for that :p 2010 is definitely a step up though from 2003, not sure how much diff there is with 2010 vs 2013 however. :)

AS for sc302 - I agree with you that's why i initially said RAID1 for the 2 x 146GBs (total 6 drives MAX). Internet being down is a bigger deal than server being down (even with the server doing DHCP/DNS, that's easy to bypass though). Email also being on that server so could be an issue but we use a spam appliance (Barracuda) that captures emails before delivering them to the server so email would still be received at aleast :)

What I was thinking is to install Hyper-V Server 2012 server on either of the other 2 Dell PE2950s we'll have left sitting around which can then run the VHDs from the Exchange and SQL. Those files would be on the RAID10 600GB Virtual drive (4 x 300GB) So those can survive failures plus the USB backup (3TB USB drive) plus Offsite.

You are right though, I was just hoping to have more storage. 4 x 1TB would give us 2TB total (reality, only using about 400GB now) so that should last a while.

They have this sweet sale now which to me made more sense than spending $120 vs 150 for a 300G vs a 1TB:

Wanted to get 4 of those.

raid 5 with a hotspare is fine that would give you 2 drives to loose. don't worry too much about the speed, data integrity is where it is at in business world.

Also remember when backing up, if you backup just data (which is fine) how long would it take you to bring up the environment to the point where it can receive that data? If you have to recreate all of the servers in a virutal server or a physical server from nothing it is going to take a whole lot of time to do so. Even images can take awhile if not kept up on. And services are not cheap for this type of dr. If you put all of your eggs in one basket and that basket breaks what then? Will you be able to put together another basket quick enough to allow the company to continue to funciton without loss? How are you backing up? What are you backing up? How are you going to recover from an absolute failure? What will you have in place to prevent absolute catrostrophic failure? With multiple servers just backing up data isn't enough, and having multiple servers in one basket is asking for trouble. Just like raid, you need redundancy on the server side or you need a powerful backup that can restore instantly.

Information noted (Y) :yes:

The backup consists of snapshots of the OS as well as Exchange/SQL data and data generated/collected for reports. We do lots of Word/PDF docs and reports and scans of paper to compile said reports. That's what's in the file share on the server. If the worse happen and say all HDDs die at the sametime, those drives could be replaced and then imaged and be back up and running (depending on how long the copy goes, probably a few hours for all data, less for just server and email. If say motherboard fried then a temp machine from the backup company can be brought in (local guys) and just mount the backups images we have and boot them.

Preventing failure - hmmm guess need to think about that part some more since everything does eventually fail. I was thinking of having the other servers around for backup hardware incase one should ever fail. As appraisers, if the computer goes down they can go do field work (collecting data) while the server gets put back together. Can even work for the most part without the information on the server, unless that is, the report is almost complete then gets lost because of a server crash! :(

Still wondering about the questions of dynamic VHDX files though for Exchange OS partition, still googling too. Don't tell me all you guys are installed to the hardware for each individual server? :D

I personally haven't made a thin provisioned db server. I would think that fragmentation would eventually kill u. I don't see why you couldn't do it for the is side being that it won't grow all that much.

You know it may be a whole lot cheaper to go exchange online. Ms is offering an unlimited space for $8 per user with their exchange online plan 2. IMO it is hard to ignore that, that includes spam and virus filtering.

Trust me, we went thru this with the boss. He said they had it few years back and just wasn't stable (probably their connection to the internet at the time too wasn't stable), that plus the reoccurring costs vs pay 1 time up front. I agree with you though, it's like $800/year ($4/month plan) vs tons money up front. Our internet has gone down maybe 2 times this year and it was more a widespread issue (NYC Region - fiber cut and "hardware failure") rather than just bad management. So it's not like the old days where they might have had DSL or something. It's a dead issue I guess... I was like we definitely don't need Exchange on premises, I think it's more the principle than anything. :p

I got the extra HDD from UPS today so just waiting on RAM now and I can start building her up so that's why I wanted to get a few questions knocked out :)

and with local caching, there really is no reason not to consider it. We have all been down the road where services have been severed, but that was before. Services have since improved greatly, and like you pointed out 400 or even 800 per year vs what could be easily a $10,000 install up front and the software will stay the same version until you decide to upgrade again with another 10,000 up front.

hardware + software + implemenation time.

Local caching should solve all those issues I agree, then again preaching to the choir here. :p

Basically got my extra 8GB of RAM now (already got the extra 300GB HDD to make a RAID10). Not doing full mode install just yet but gonna at least test out the RAM to make sure they are stable in one of the other machines.

So for the current setup, no other suggestions to for implementation? Seems good as I mentioned it?

Thanks again for helping me think about some things I might have missed :)

raid 5 with a hotspare is fine that would give you 2 drives to loose. don't worry too much about the speed, data integrity is where it is at in business world.

I disagree. If you are going to set up RAID-5 + HS, you might as well go with RAID-6.

Why?

RAID-5 with a hot swap means when a drive fails in the active array, it can immediatley begin a rebuild. Rebuilds degrade performance and have a chance of failing (URE).

RAID-6 means that when a drive fails in the active array, the rebuild process does not begin until a new drive is added to the array, and you'd still need to lose TWO more drives before there is data loss. Even being down one drive ("degraded") you could perform a solid backup incase the RAID-6 rebuild fails. Granted you could do that in RAID-5 in a degraded state, but you can't if it automatically starts rebuilding...

Welp doing it now. :s

Moved the SATA 160GB RAID5 drives to the new machine and imported the config and it booted. Gonna have to clone those drives now, RAID-5 SATA to the RAID1 SAS 146GB drives then boot that.

After that's all said and done it's a matter of creating the RAID10 4x300GB drives then copying the data back from the external drives to the server and we should be done :yes:

Just to copy all this data is what's taking forever :p

EDIT- 10/22/12

No complaints yet half-day into the new work week. Some folder redirection stuff didn't happen so smoothly but (Favorites/My Documents) but working those out slowly but surely.

Still having issues though with Mapped Drives - can't for the life of me get it to map (Local admin/UAC problem i hear). That is they still map via loginscripts that was used in 2003 days but new GPO mappings in 2008 and up isn't working. There is a problem on Windows 8 (client) where it wont work properly but i'm doing this on a 2012 server with Win7 clients. Gotta figure out that thing were you can see how they are applying and if anything has failed or whatever. :p

Adding updates

Sorry to add this late into the discussions but you spoke of Hyper-V, you can download the Hyper-V 2012 Core RTM free of charge and run your VM's on that. I run a Hyper-V environment in a clustered configuration and it works really well. I would say the only downside is that ESXi supports Linux and other OS's better, but it sounds like you using an all Windows Environment anyway.

You can download the tools to run on your workstation (must be Win7/8).

Just offering another option, it's got quite a low overhead as well.

Hyper-V does an alright job of running linux...at least RHEL and ubuntu. I've got 4 Ubuntu VM's on a Hyper-V server and they run great. Only thing that sucks is no updated integration drivers for Ubuntu, so you can't use Dynamic Memory.

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
