Please ask your Trainer/Assessor if you are unsure what is sufficient detail for an answer • Ask your trainer/assessor if you do not understand a question. Whist your trainer/assessor cannot tell you the answer, he/she may be able to re-word the question for you or provide further assistance based on the Institute’s “Reasonable Adjustment Policy” • Answers should be your own work, in your own words and not plagiarised, nor copied. However, if an answer is cut & pasted (such as a definition), then the source should be referenced a Page 4 of 17 Assessment Resources ICTSUS501 Information for Students This is an open-book assessment. Write your answers to the questions below. Unless otherwise specified keep all your answers below 100 words. Use your own words in the answers – don’t copy information verbatim from the Internet! 1. Briefly explain what is meant by the following terms: • business domain; • business function; • organisation. 2. Summarise how I determine if a guest operating system, say Windows 2008 Server is compatible with Microsoft Hyper V. If an operating system is not compatible with Microsoft Hyper V, what, if anything, can I do to resolve the situation? 3. Describe how I would configure the following IP-related parameters on a Windows server: IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. 4, List two software products that are currently used in industry to provide server virtualisation. 5. Give two examples of information about a server running virtualisation software you would document as part of a technical specification for that server. For each example of information, describe how you would gather the information. 6. In a project implementing a virtualisation solution, it is typical to have a planning process, a build process and a manage process. Give an example of how the outputs from one phase in the project, such as the planning process, can become an input into the next phase of the project, such as the build process. 7. List two system diagnostic tools I could use to gather information about servers that I am considering for virtualisation. Briefly describe how I would use the tools. 8. When I am planning my server design for virtualisation, briefly summarise the considerations that would apply to configuring power supplies and power management on a server running virtualisation software. a Page 5 of 17 Assessment Resources ICTSUS501 9. When I am planning my server design for virtualisation, briefly describe at least two factors that determine how much memory (RAM) is needed on a server running virtualisation software, such as Microsoft Hyper-V. 10. When I am planning my server design for virtualisation, briefly describe at least two factors that determine how many processors are needed on a server running virtualisation software, such as Microsoft Hyper-V. 11. When I am planning my network architecture for virtualisation, , briefly describe at least two factors that determine how many network cards (NICs) and what bandwidth are needed on a server running virtualisation software, such as Microsoft Hyper-V. 12. When setting up and installing Microsoft Hyper V, how do I determine what server hardware is compatible with the software I want to install, i.e. what vendor resource would I consult to answer this question? 13. Briefly describe the three types of virtual switches supported in Microsoft Hyper V. 14. Briefly describe the purpose of checkpointing in Microsoft Hyper V. 15. Briefly describe the following features as they apply to server CPUs a. Single processor b. Multi-processor 16. You have been asked to research and analyse alternative virtualisations scenarios for a company called DEF Corporation. The company wants to vritualise its existing servers, which are currently running operating systems such as Windows 2012 and Ubuntu Linux. Complete the table below for comparing the virtualisation alternatives of Microsoft Hyper-V with Citrix Xenserver 6.2. You should also note any risks associated with running either of the alternative virtualization solutions, such as support arrangements, and finding skills in the product.

You have the option of doing the task as a group (3 students maximum per group). You should use the Case Study Report Template (see Learner Resources for the unit) to help you structure your assignment. Write your report, making sure to list all the students who are in your group in the Introduction to the report. All students need to hand in a copy of the report as part of their assessment submission. Scenario For this assessment task, you need to prepare a report that outlines a server virtualisation plan, designs a virtual server specification and describes how a virtual server will be installed and tested, for a college called ABC College. ABC currently has 20 physical servers, with different Operating System, CPU utlilisation, RAM utilisation and application software requirements (see ABC College Hardware and Software inventory below). ABC Hardware and Software Inventory . ABC College is currently running physical servers with the following characteristics: Operating System Number of Servers CPU Utilisation (Ave.) Memory Utilisation (Ave) Amount of disk space used Windows 2012 Server 4 5 50 4TB Windows 2008 Server 3 7 40 3 TB Ubuntu Linux 3 4 40 2 TB ABC College has an organisational policy preferring a fully virtualised solution, so is looking for a solution that will enable it to virtualise all its existing servers. ABC College has already done some feasibility study of how it could virtualise all its current servers that has confirmed this should be possible. ABC College also and has an organisational preference for Microsoft solutions. That initial feasibility report on server virtualisation has noted the following points • Any virtualization cluster should not have a single point of failure i.e. the cluster should have a minimum of two nodes, • A preference for a Hyper-V solution • Data can be migrated between physical and virtual servers of the same type by using the company’s backup software to backup files from the physical machine and restore them on a new virtual machine Your report is being prepared for Ms. Johnson, the IT Manager at ABC College. Your report should include the following parts (see the ICTSUS501 Case Study Report Template) in Learner Resources for this subject. a Page 8 of 17 Assessment Resources ICTSUS501 Introduction: • Briefly describe the purpose of the report, who the report is prepared for, and the names and student ids of the students in your group Part 1.
