What are the advantages of the Question:server Message block file share storage virtual machine? Answer: Microsoft introduced the SMB file share storage virtual machine (VM) feature in Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V 3.0. Until then, there are other ways to store VMS, including direct-attached storage, SCSI over disk interfaces, Fibre Channel storage area networks, and iSCSI storage. Migrating VMS to SMB storage in a standalone Hyper-V server environment means that the host needs to be provided with the local storage that the VM is using. VMS require sufficient VM performance for disk I/O and storage arrays. If people already have a high-performance file server and have enough space to run VMS, they avoid using dedicated storage columns. In the case of a failover cluster, the previous version requires the use of cluster shared volumes (CSV). This type of shared storage is expensive to implement and will typically incur budget overruns for small businesses. In Hyper-V 3.0, SMB storage can be used in place of CSV. Hyper-V supports placing VMS on SMB storage, but the file server must be running Windows Server 2012 with the SMB 3.0 protocol. In addition, SMB storage on VMS is limited to small businesses. Bandwidth limitations make SMB storage impractical in a large number of VM environments.
