Server virtualization: SCVMM R2 A single-tier service template containing SQL Server

Server virtualization has been done more and more mature and universal, whether it is xenserver or esx or Hyper-V, in fact, as I have contacted customers, most people's inertia thinking is that Hyper-V is based on the operating system level, not as good as think Jay or the effect of the core, In fact, the implementation of the mechanism of the difference is not small, the most important or the upper level can provide services, whether to meet the needs of users, can achieve some customers want the function, this is a powerful selling point, this time mainly to say in SCVMM to do service template of some methods

Let me take the example of a single tier service template that contains SQL services, and then I'll introduce a single layer of templates that contain Web applications, and finally, together, a two-tiered service model that supports load balancing and scaling, so we're going to start with:

First of all, to say the concept of service template, you think of him as a package of virtual units, of course, can be a single, this group of virtual machine resources can be only pure operating system (you can use service template to achieve bulk deployment); or carry a service that you want to push out, SQL or Web applications or some other virtualization applications, in short, to provide users with a set of environment, this set of environment can be large and small, but also can be extended to achieve load balancing and so on, preferably to allow users to open the box is used;

In the case of SQL service templates, first you have to have a VM template to serve as the computer layer of the service template, so let's prepare a packaged OS, my environment is based on Windows Server r2+sql2012 SP1, first Sqlprep, Execute the SQL installation media and find "image preparation" in the advanced (I disagree with Microsoft's translation ...) ）

Choose the function you want to use, did not provide a few, have chosen it, another say, without management console, if you want to install, you can package after installation, not conflict
