Hyper-V Network Virtualization Cookbook

Chapter 2. Configuring Networks for Hyper-V Network Virtualization

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Creating the required Logical Networks in Virtual Machine Manager
  • Creating the required Port Profiles in Virtual Machine Manager
  • Creating and assigning Logical Switches to Hyper-V hosts
  • Creating the Virtual Machine Networks for Tenants
  • Testing the basic Virtual Machine Networks

Introduction

Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) uses the concept of Logical Networks to define sites, IP pools, and VLANs. For example, you could create a Logical Network called Host Management; this network would be responsible for managing Hyper-V hosts. You could then create Logical Network Sites within the Logical Network for each data center you have and associate the correct VLAN and subnet details as necessary.

The Hyper-V implementation used in this book will be based on the Converged Network Model. The following diagram shows the design of the Hyper-V Host:

Introduction

The configuration of the network and the placement of the virtual machines is shown in the following diagram:

Introduction

Creating the required Logical Networks in Virtual Machine Manager

This recipe provides the steps necessary to create all the required Logical Networks in VMM:

  • Hyper-V Host Management: This is used by VMM to communicate with the Hyper-V hosts. For example, when VMM wants a new virtual machine created, it will use this network to communicate with the Hyper-V hosts.
  • Hyper-V Live Migration: This is used by Hyper-V for live migration of virtual machines between hosts in a cluster.
  • Hyper-V Clustering: This is used by Windows Failover Clustering to maintain the cluster and for the Hyper-V servers to exchange information about the roles within.
  • Provider Address Space: This is used by Hyper-V Network Virtualization to host and isolate the tenant networks.

Getting ready

Using the information that you gathered in Chapter 1, Installing Virtual Machine Manager to Prepare VMM, you will be able to configure VMM. For this cookbook, the following IP ranges will be in use:

Purpose

Subnet

Maximum number of IP...

Creating the required Port Profiles in Virtual Machine Manager

This recipe provides the steps necessary to create all the required Port Profiles in VMM, which are as follows:

  • Uplink Port Profiles that are used for the physical definition of the Logical Switch and deployed to the Hyper-V hosts
  • Virtual Port Profiles that are used to define what types of virtual port are available on the Logical Switch

Getting ready

This recipe requires that you have completed the previous recipe.

How to do it…

The following diagram shows you the high-level steps involved in this recipe:

How to do it…

This will result in assigning of the newly created Logical Networks and Sites to a profile that can be applied to the Logical Switch.

  1. Open the Fabric workspace, expand the Networking section, and click on Port Profiles. You will see the default Port Profiles that are shipped with VMM, as shown in the following screenshot:
    How to do it…
  2. Right-click on Port Profiles, click on Create Hyper-V Port Profile, and select Virtual network adapter port...

Creating and assigning Logical Switches to Hyper-V hosts

Now that the Logical Networks and Uplink and Virtual Port Profiles have been created, they need to be applied to a Logical Switch.

As the converged networking model will be used, the Logical Switch will have several virtual NICs created for the Management OS to use:

  • Management
  • Live Migration
  • Cluster

You will need to have a Hyper-V cluster with no logical switches (or standard switches) configured and attached to VMM. Please visit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/gg610621.aspx for details.

Getting ready

As a prerequisite, all of the previous recipes must be complete. Additionally, you must have at least one Hyper-V host in the environment to test with. Please see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610646.aspx for details on how to add Hyper-V hosts to VMM.

How to do it…

The following diagram shows you the high-level steps involved in this recipe:

This will result in a Logical Switch that is capable of hosting virtual...

Creating the Virtual Machine Networks for Tenants

Each Tenant requires its own VM Network, and optionally a subnet (or several) within. Once the VM Networks for the Tenants have been created, it will be possible to create VMs and deploy them into each VM Network.

A VM Network is the software defined network. Each VM network is completely isolated and you can have up to 16,777,216 VM Networks.

In this recipe, we will create two VM Networks:

  • Tenant A using an IP subnet 10.0.0.0/24
  • Tenant B using an IP subnet 10.0.0.0/24

Getting ready

Decide what VM Network names the Tenants will have and the IP subnets they will have.

How to do it…

The following diagram shows you the high-level steps involved in this recipe:

How to do it…

This will result in two VM Networks, each with one IPv4 subnet containing a pool of IPs that can be distributed to newly created VMs. Now perform the following steps:

  1. Open the VMs and Services workspace, navigate to VM Networks. Here, all of the currently created VM Networks will be listed...

Testing the basic Virtual Machine Networks

Now that all of the building blocks are in place, it is time to deploy two VMs—one into Tenant A's VM Network and one into Tenant B's VM Network. Once this is complete, another VM will be deployed for further testing.

The following diagram shows how the VMs will be connected to the network:

Testing the basic Virtual Machine Networks

Getting ready

You will need to have a VM Template set up that is not connected to any VM Network in the template, this can then be assigned during deployment.

Please visit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh427282.aspx for information on how to create a VM template.

The operating system used for all VMs in this cookbook is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard with a GUI and they only have a single Network Adapter. Please see Appendix, VM Templates, for detailed information on the VM template used.

How to do it…

The following diagram shows you the high-level steps involved in this recipe:

This will result in three VMs deployed, two in one...

Hyper-V Network Virtualization Cookbook ...I really like about this book is the author has done an excellent job of explaining all very nicely. This book would be useful to any Hyper-V user on virtually any version of Hyper-V because it explains why you would make certain choices rather than walking through a step by step series of screen shots. If you're just getting started with Hyper-V, this is an excellent book.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I received a free book for review of Hyper-V Network Virtualization Cookbook. Positive and Negative feedback welcome.Hyper-V Network Virtualization Cookbook is a valuable resource for any admin looking to understand and implement a full-featured SCVMM network infrastructure.The Hyper-V Network Virtualization Cookbook is a focused, step-by-step resource for understanding System Center Virtual Machine Manager networking, which is arguably the most complex component of the SCVMM/Hyper-V environment. I found the recipes for every step, including foundational components like services, groups and policies, to installing SQL and SCVMM, to configuring Logical Networks, Port Profiles, Logical Switches, Network Isolation and Network ACLs helpful in understanding not only the concepts, but also the flow for implementing them. The Microsoft approach is very different from other technologies, such as from VMware or Citrix, and the book provides concise "learning by doing" sections. It also keeps a very enterprise mindset and includes highly-available designs.There are two drawbacks to the book. First is the title. It book is geared to SCVMM and not the basic, out-of-the box Hyper-V networking (which is relatively easy to grasp and doesn't need too much explanation). Second, it doesn't cover installing Hyper-V, though this task isn't too difficult either and is covered in other books. By the time you look at SCVMM, you probably have a good understanding of Hyper-V.
