Here are my notes from TechEd NA session WSV410, by Claus Joergensen. A really good deep session – the sort I love to watch (very slowly, replaying bits.

How to Manage Software Updates Synchronization How to Synchronize Updates Using Export and Import.

Notes: Continuously Available File Server – Under The Hood. Here are my notes from Tech. Ed NA session WSV4. Claus Joergensen. Setup. I’ve done this a few times.

Create file shares in Failover Clustering Management. Simple! Personally speaking: I like the idea of having just 1 share per CSV. Supports most of the NTFS features. Direct I/O support for file data access: whatever node you come in via, then Node 2 has direct access to the back end storage. Caching of CSVFS file data (controlled by oplocks) Leverages SMB 3. Direct and Multichannel for internode communication Redirected IO: Metadata operations – hence not for end user data direct access For data operations whena  file is being accessed simultaneously by multiple CSVFS instances. CSV Caching. Windows Cache Manager integration: Buffered read/write I/O is cached the same way as NTFS CSV Block Caching – read only cache using RAM from nodes.

For additional reference information, see Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Documentation Resources Download Page. The primary package file, which contains. No more missed important software updates! UpdateStar 11 lets you stay up to date and secure with the software on your computer.

CHDKDSKSeamless with CSV. Security: creates and manages AD computer object for the SOFS. DNS will round robin DNS lookups: The response is a list of sorted addresses for the SOFS CAP with IPv. IPv. 4 done second. If a client looks up, gets the list of addresses.

A client will connect to just one cluster node per SOFS. Microsoft Windows Aio German Dvd Iso Writer. SOFSResponsible for: Online shares on each node Listen to share creations, deletions and changes Replicate changes to other nodes Ensure consistency across all nodes for the SOFS It can take the cluster a couple of seconds to converge changes across the cluster. SOFS implemented using cluster clone resources: All nodes run an SOFS clone The clones are started and stopped by the SOFS leader – why am I picturing Homer Simpson in a hammock while Homer Simpson mows the lawn?!?!?

The SOFS leader runs on the node where the SOFS resources is actually online – this is just the orchestrator. Admin can constrain what nodes the SOFS role is on – possible owners for the DNN and SOFS resource. Performance and Scalability.

SMB Transparent Failover. Zero downtime with small IO delay.

Witness does redirection at client end. Client SMB Witness Registration.

Client SMB connects to share on Node A Witness on client obtains list of cluster members from Witness on Node A Witness client removes Node A as the witness and selects Node B as the witness Witness registers with Node B for notification of events for the share that it connected to The Node B Witness registers with the cluster for event notifications for the share. Notification: Normal operation . Node B Witness starts all over again to select a new Witness in the SOFS.

Will keep trying every minute to get one in case Node A was the only possibility Event Logs. All under Application and Services – Microsoft – Windows: SMBClient SMBServer Resume. Key. Filter SMBWitness. Client SMBWitness. Service Please follow and like us.
