Microsoft_MVP_Virtual_Machine_Dariusz_Porowski1st of January 2015, I received an e-mail from Microsoft with congratulations for the MVP renew. It’s 5th time as Microsoft MVP! Now in Hyper-V (ex Virtual Machine) expertise.

Dear Dariusz Porowski,

Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2015 Microsoft® MVP Award! This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with others. We appreciate your outstanding contributions in Hyper-V technical communities during the past year.

I am very happy to be part of this unique group! Thank you for this award which motivates me to continue community work.

Jesień każdego roku obfituje w liczne wydarzenia branżowe. Ta nie różni się zupełnie od poprzednich – jest sporo eventów. Poniżej lista wydarzeń, na których będę coś tam gadał 😉

Do zobaczenia 🙂

Niecały tydzień temu (dokładnie 30 września 2014) Microsoft wypuścił na świat wersje Technical Preview dla Windows Server oraz System Center. Poniżej zamieszczam kilka wg ciekawy linków dla geeków, które mogą być pomocne w rozkładaniu na czynniki pierwsze najnowszej myśli technicznej MS w obszarach Windows Serve, Hyper-V i System Center.

Wersje testowe do ściągnięcia z TechNet Evaluation Center

eCzytanki do podusi 😉

Pamiętajcie, że to są wersje pre-release! Wiele funkcji jest w fazie rozwoju. Technical Preview nie jest przeznaczony dla środowisk produkcyjnych, laboratoryjnych ani testowych.

Veeam Task Manager for Hyper-V to darmowe narzędzie do monitorowania wydajności Hyper-V w czasie rzeczywistym od firmy Veeam. Narzędzie pokazuje szczegółowe metryki wydajności procesora i pamięci na poziomie pojedynczej maszyny wirtualnej, dzięki czemu można określić, które maszyny wirtualne używają zasoby hosta wirtualizacji. Metryki są aktualizowane domyślnie co ​​3 sekundy.

To małe narzędzie świetnie sprawdzi się przy rozwiązywania problemów w środowisku Hyper-V, pokazując to czego standardowy Windows Task Manager nie widzi 😉 Zużycie zasobów (CPU & RAM) można monitorować zarówno dla maszyn wirtualnych jak i hosta wirtualizacji. Veeam Task Manager for Hyper-V dostarczony jest jako pakiet .msi, co umożliwia łatwą nienadzorowaną instalację (domyślnie do katalogu C:\Program Files (x86)\Veeam\Task Manager for Hyper-V):

msiexec.exe /i VeeamTaskManager.msi /quiet

Po wypakowaniu plików, można je skopiować np. na dysk USB i mieć narzędzie zawsze pod ręką w wersji portable.

Narzędzie można zainstalować zarówno na hostach Hyper-V jak i na stacjach roboczych. Wspierane systemy to: Stacje robocze:

  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 7

Hosty wirtualizacji Hyper-V:

  • Windows Server Hyper-V 2012 R2
  • Windows Server Hyper-V 2012

Veeam Task Manager for Hyper-V dostępny jest do pobrania na tej stronie: http://hyperv.veeam.com/free-task-manager-hyper-v-performance-monitoring/

P.S.

Dla pełnego monitorowania środowiska Hyper-V wraz z planowaniem pojemności oraz raportowaniem zachęcam do zapoznania się z Veeam Management Pack for System Center.

Microsoft TechEd North America 2014 is coming 🙂 Below is my schedule for this great event! I will not attend all sessions, because this time I’m TLG for HOL area. So, I invite you to Lab zone 🙂 See you there!
