Windows Server 2012,you can configure three private VLAN modes

In Windows Server 2012, when configuring multitenant security with private virtual local area networks (VLANs), you can configure three private VLAN modes. What are they?

Virtual machine isolation with PVLANs
Community
Promiscuous.
Isolated. Isolated ports cannot exchange packets with each other at layer 2. If fact, isolated ports can only talk to promiscuous ports.
•Community. Community ports on the same VLAN ID can exchange packets with each other at layer 2. They can also talk to promiscuous ports. They cannot talk to isolated ports.
•Promiscuous. Promiscuous ports can exchange pa

windows 2012 improvements, ODX,VHDX,hyper-v replica, smb direct

windows 2012 improvements, ODX,VHDX,hyper-v replica, smb direct

from MS manual;
The VHDX format also has the following features:

 Larger block sizes for dynamic and differential disks, which allows these disks to attune to the needs of the workload.

 4-KB logical sector virtual disk that allows for increased performance when used by applications and workloads that are designed for 4-KB sectors.

\
Offloaded data transfer (ODX) in Windows Server 2012 enables you to accomplish more with existing external storage arrays by letting you quickly move large files and virtual machines directly between storage arrays, which reduces host CPU and network resource consumption.

ODX enables rapid provisioning and migration of virtual machines and provides significantly faster transfers of large files, such as database or video files. By offloading the file transfer to the storage array, ODX minimizes latencies, maximizes the use of array throughput, and reduces host resource usage, such as CPU and network consumption. File transfers are automatically and transparently offloaded when you move or copy files, regardless of whether you perform drag-and-drop operations in Windows Explorer or use command-line file copy commands. No administrator setup or intervention is needed.

hyper-v replica -- using integrated authentication --- hyper-v is not encrypted
SMB direct -- need 2 PCs with RDMA NICs

terminating fibre optics cable links

terminating fibre optics cable links

well.... I am doing this again, to hook up the terminals on the fibre tray to the netgear gigabit switch,
for the fibre pair, tx---rx, rx-----tx; so its kind of cross-over.

but the electrician terminated the fibre straight on the tray, the trick is to pull the fibre connctors out swap tx/rx on the tray sockets.

btw blogger is slow ..... freezing / pausing.
