EXAM TIP
Remember that dynamic optimization only allows movement of virtual machines between
cluster nodes in a host group. It does not allow automatic movement of VMs between non-
clustered virtualization hosts.
Thought experiment
Host group settings at Wingtip Toys
I
n this thought experiment, apply what you've learned about this objective. You can
find answers to these questions in the “Answers” section at the end of this chapter.
Y
ou are in the process of configuring host group settings for collections of Hyper-V
virtualization hosts located in the Wingtip Toys Melbourne and Sydney datacenter.
The virtualization hosts in the Melbourne datacenter have more powerful hardware
than the virtualization hosts in Sydney, so should have different settings applied.
1.
How can you apply a different set of host reserves rules for the Hyper-V hosts in
Melbourne and the Hyper-V hosts in Sydney?
2.
How would you make a storage pool available in the Sydney datacenter available
only to Hyper-V hosts in Sydney?
■
Host groups allow you to simplify the management of virtualization hosts by allowing
you to apply the same settings across multiple hosts.
■
Child host groups inherit settings from the parent host group.
■
Placement rules allow you to configure how VMM identifies a suitable host for a VM
deployment.
■
Host reserves allow you to configure the resources that VMM should set aside for the
host operating system.
■
Dynamic optimization allows virtualization host clusters to balance workloads by trans-
ferring VMs between nodes according to the settings configured at the host group
level.
■
Host group networks show the networks that are assigned to the host group.
