Chapter 8 N Using Virtualization In Windows Server 2008

Because the process to copy a physical drive to a virtual disk is just a normal copy process, you should allow enough time to complete it. The time varies depending on the size of your physical disk.

The process to add a physical or pass-through disk to a virtual machine is quite different. For this, you ￿rst need to create the virtual machine, and then you open the Virtual Machine Settings to con￿gure the physical disk. If you did not yet create a virtual machine in Hyper-V Manager, you should complete Exercise 8.6 to create one and come back to this section.
If you want to add a physical disk to a virtual machine, the physical disk must be set as Of￿ine in Disk Management, as shown in Figure 8.8.

Hyper-V Architecture
This section will provide you with an overview of the Hyper-V architecture (see Figure 8.1). We�ll explain the differences between a hypervisor-aware and non-hypervisor-aware child partition.

Hyper-V hypervisor Emulation
Hardware

As you can see, Hyper-V is based on the new microkernel architecture. Hyper-V provides a virtualization layer called a hypervisor that runs directly on the system hardware. You can see that the hypervisor is similar to what the kernel is to Windows. It is a software layer responsible for the interaction with the core hardware and works in conjunction with an optimized instance of Windows Server 2008 that allows running multiple operating systems on a physical server simultaneously. The Hyper-V architecture consists of the hypervisor and parent and child partitions.
The Windows Server 2008 operating system runs in the parent partition and provides the WMI provider for scripting as well as the VM service.
Virtual machines run each in their own child partitions. Child partitions do not have direct access to hardware resources; instead, they have a virtual view of the resources, which are called virtual devices.
If you�re running a hypervisor-aware operating system like Windows Server 2003 or Win- dows Server 2008 in your virtual machine, any request to the virtual devices is redirected via the high-speed Imbues to the devices in the parent partition, which will manage the requests. By default, only Windows Server 2008 is a hypervisor-aware operating system. Once you install the Hyper-V integration components on the operating system other than Windows Server 2008, it will be hypervisor aware. Microsoft provides a hypervisor adapter to make Linux hypervisor aware.
Non-hypervisor-aware operating systems (e.g., Windows NT 4.0) use an emulator to communicate with the Windows hypervisor, which is slower than using the Imbues. MCTS Windows 7 Configuration

Adding Site Content

There are three main ways you can add content to your WSS sites:
Allow users to add content.
Use web designers to create content.
Migrate content from another site.
There are some things to consider when choosing what option you will use for adding site content:
Will the public see this content?
Is the site for a large organization?
Are you redesigning or reorganizing another site?
Will the site be a collaboration site, which might include wikis, blogs, or other user- created content?
Here are two of the more popular choices for adding content to a WSS site:
User-added content You can immediately allow users and site owners to add content to
the WSS sites by following the steps in the section “nabling Access For End Usersin this chapter.
The benefit of allowing user-added content is it involves users immediately, and they tend to want to add and update the content on a regular basis.
Migrate content You have a couple of options to migrate content from a different site.
One option is to use the Export and Import operations of the Stsadm tool. The other option is to use the Central Administration page to perform a migration.

Configuring Authentication for WSS

Authentication is the process of validating a userverifying the level of access they should have. WSS uses IIS to manage user authentication. After IIS has determined that the user is authentic, WSS will perform the authorization. WSS will then allow the user to access the resources on the WSS site to which they have been given access.

296 Chapter 7

WSS has provided support for federated authorization, also known as Web Single Sign On (Web SSO). This means that the authentication system is not local to the computer that hosts Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
WSS provides for several other authentication scenarios:
Standard Windows authentication.
Simple database containing usernames and passwords.
Integrating directly into your company
Using several systems together. This would allow for a company identity system to
authenticate partner employees but another system to authenticate internal employees. Table 7.1 shows the supported authentication methods.
