Consolidating multiple SQL Server systems onto
Dell PowerEdge R610 Servers using Microsoft’s Hyper-V

Introduction
Virtualization and consolidation overview
This Guide provides concepts and procedures that will help you
successfully consolidate your Microsoft
®
SQL Server
®
instances
from multiple machines onto a single Windows Server
®
2008
system using Microsoft’s Hyper-V
™
. In this Guide, we use the Dell
™
PowerEdge
™
R610 as the target server. Please refer to our
accompanying Guide, “Consolidating SQL Server 2000 databases
onto Dell PowerEdge R610 using Microsoft’s Hyper-V”
(http://www.principledtechnologies.com/Clients/Reports/Dell/Dell_
R610_Hyper-V_SQL_2000.pdf), for the specifics that will help you
complete the migration process.
Principled Technologies
®
(PT) has performed hands-on testing and
research and drawn on real-world experiences to document best
practices and help you take advantage of the features of Hyper-V
to consolidate multiple SQL Server instances onto a single physical
system.
This document covers the key overall concepts and procedures you
need to setup and configure your virtualized Hyper-V platform. It
reviews in detail the approach that PT and Dell recommend for a
tested and validated installation of Windows Server 2008 and
Hyper-V. In our accompanying Guide, “Consolidating SQL Server
2000 databases onto Dell PowerEdge R610 using Microsoft’s
Hyper-V”
(http://www.principledtechnologies.com/Clients/Reports/Dell/Dell_
R610_Hyper-V_SQL_2000.pdf), we cover concepts and procedures
specific to SQL Server 2000.
What is virtualization? How can I use it to consolidate, and what are the
benefits?
Generally speaking, virtualization is the ability to run multiple
operating system environments or machine environments on one
physical system. There are two basic types of virtualization. Type 2
virtualization is a hosted solution, where the virtual machines run
inside another operating system, and thus are several layers above
the hardware. Type 1 virtualization products, such as Microsoft’s
Hyper-V, run much closer to the “bare metal” of the server and
interact with hardware directly through a control program known
as the hypervisor. By working closer to the hardware, Type 1
products typically can provide better performance than Type 2
offerings.
