Logical unit number
Explanation:
In order to accomplish the task, you should use snapshots. Snapshots are files that contain the
configuration and data in a virtualized machine. The Hyper-V Manager Console provides the facility
to take a snapshot of a virtual machine running under Hyper-V. This snapshot can be used to quickly

provided by Windows Server 2008, is used to migrate existing servers in the network environment to
a virtualized partition of Windows Server 2008. VSMT has been specially designed for administrators
to handle small number of servers that needs to be virtualized. It however, cannot be used to

tool is compatible with both the Hyper-V and the Virtual Server 2005 R2.
management and enables the allocation of resources, including processor and memory resources,
among multiple applications based on business priorities. With WSRM, a system administrator can
set CPU and memory allocation policies on applications, manage CPU utilization, and apply policies
to users or groups on a Terminal Services application server. WSRM also applies limits to process
working set size and committed memory consumption.
