As i wrote about in my prev post about DPM 2019, a few day’s ago the System Center team posted a blog on the Windows Server blog post about the upcoming 2019 release this month.
For the VMM 2019 release there is quite a few new features, most of them related to Software Defined things like SDN and S2D. I will go trough the S2D bit’s and one new cool tenant feature that has been asked about alot.

Since mid August there has been a rebalance issue of the storage in a Windows Server 2019 S2D storagepool. When ever you rebooted a node S2D would kick off a repair moving data off the “down” node. If a node was down for hours this would result in a lot of data being moved off that node.

A While back Microsoft changed there recommendation for Priority Flow Control for Clusters running RDMA with SMB3 in any way. If it’s an old fashion Storage Spaces with Scale Out Fileservers or Storage Spaces Direct. With RoCE RDMA the recommendation has always been to use Datacenter Bridging(DCB) and Priority Flow Control(PFC) for SMB3 traffic.

I wanted to share the sessions I will be trying to watch live and watch on demand after, I will separate them into the different solutions and post them pr day. As the schedule for live streaming is not yet available for those of us not going to Ignite.

I have been quite on the blog front for a while as when we got home from summer holiday in early August we had lots of water in the 2nd floor bathroom floor which had run down a crack in the floor into the living room underneath. So I have spent almost every free hour after that figuring out where the water was coming from by removing walls. And finding a lot of rot in the construction where the water came in. And the water damage in the living room also kicked off a total renovation of the living room. As the insurance does not cover everything we will need to do some stuff our self.
But today i found some time to write this blog post for you, and it’s about Upgrading your S2D cluster to 2019 🙂

Here is a statement from Microsoft about the issue and what to do when rebooting a node.
So VMM 1807 was just released yesterday and there is not a lot of new features in this version, as I think the VMM team is focusing on support for RS5(2019) and new features for it.
In this version it’s an upgrade from 1801 to 1807. So to install 1807 you will need to have 1801 already installed.
