By correct use of Integration Services the VMs gracefully shut down or snapshot when the host OS shuts down. Contact your ISP for information on the protection of components between your locations.īob - it's not idiocy - I investigated this and everything seemed so promising, but there's a problem (which I'll get to)! I'm running W2k8 Standard 圆4 full server, which runs Hyper-V and several VMs.
When using a geocluster to perform migrations, make sure every component used in these scenarios are UPS protected. When using network connected UPSs, also connect your network components to the UPS. When looking at the PCBE8 compat chart.pdf I noticed APC Powerchute Business Edition software is available for Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008.
The APC PowerChute software is especially powerful when you're running a geographically dispersed failover cluster ('geocluster') of Hyper-V servers: You can create Powershell scripts in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to migrate the virtual guests to the other location (where there's no power outage?) and shut down the guest remotely with the script, triggered by the APC Powerchute software. When you shutdown a single host running Hyper-V it will pause all guests and shutdown.
Since HP Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) are rebranded APC units, you can use the HP or APC software to remotely shutdown the virtual host. When it's a physical box you can connect to and manage network, USB- and serial connected UPS's (as long as the box offers the right physical connectors and right amount of them) When the server running System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) is running virtually you can connect to, and manage network connected UPSs. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) can be configured using network connections, USB connections and some solder models through serial connections.
