HPE 3 PAR Solutions for Windows/Hyper-V

Offloaded Data Transfer - ODX allows Hyper-V and OS to move storage faster and more efficiently – Enables protocol and transport agnostic, cross-machine storage subsystem assisted data transfer – Practically eliminates load on the server, enables a significant reduction in the load on the transport network, and presents an opportunity for innovation for the storage subsystem. – Used for VM Migration, VM Instantiation, General Bulk Data Movement (such as Large Database Files, HD Video, etc. ) Array– Offloaded Copy File Copy Request SMB LUN 1 E: LUN 2 E: Array– Offloaded Copy File Copy Request D: LUN 1 E: LUN 2 E:

HPE CLX Live Migration and Automatic Recovery Live Migration of VMs on Cluster Shared Volumes between sites Fully automatic failover in case of data center or component outages Live Migration of Virtual Machines across data centers with HPE 3 PAR Cluster Extension & Microsoft Hyper-V

CSV Support with CLX for Windows Virtual Machine Virtual Machine VM Config File VM Config File Cluster Shared VM Config File Volume HP CLX All Physical Disk resources or a Cluster Shared Volume depend on a CLX resource Very smooth integration

3 PAR Peer Persistence for MS Windows Available since 3 PAR OS 3. 2. 1 A Active LUN presentation S Standby LUN presentation – What does it provide? Hyper-V VM • High Availability across data centers Clustered Application • Automatic or manual transparent LUN swap MS Windows Failover Cluster • Transparent Live Migration between data centers Hyper-V – How does it work? Hyper-V • Based on 3 PAR Remote Copy and MS MPIO • Presents Active LUN paths as active and Standby LUN paths as standby Hyper-V • Automated LUN swap arbitrated by a Quorum Witness (QW A Linux MS Hyper-V VM on 3 rd site) Hyper-V Data Center 1 P – Supported environments: • Windows 2008 R 2, 2012 R 2, 2016 • Standalone Servers and Windows Cluster HP 3 PAR Synchronous • Hyper-V Remote Copy + P Peer – Requirements: A Persistence • Two 3 PAR Disk Arrays with loaded license LAN/WAN Witness • Two RC sync links (RCFC or RCIP) QW HP 3 PAR • 3 PAR OS ≥ 3. 2. 1 DC 3 Data Center 2

Peer Persistence for MS Windows Never lose access to your volumes Windows Server Failover Cluster • Each host is connected to each array on both sites via redundant fabrics (FC or i. SCSI or FCo. E) • Synchronous copy of the volume is kept on the partner array/site (RCFC or RCIP) Fabric A • Each Volume is exported in R/W mode with same WWN from both arrays on both sites Fabric B • Volume paths for a given volume are “Active” only on the array where the “Primary” copy of the volume resides. Other volume paths are marked “Standby” • Both arrays can host active and passive volumes Up to 2. 6 ms RTT latency A • Quorum Witness on 3 rd site acts as arbitrator in Active Path Vol A case of failures Active Path (Vol B) Passive/Standby Path Hyper-V VM Clustered Application Vol B prim Vol A sec B sec 3 PAR Array Site A QW Hyper-V Site C B A 3 PAR Array Site B
