Case Study: 2
Contoso Ltd
Scenario
Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company.
Contoso has a main office and six branch offices. The main office is located in Toronto. The branch
offices are located in New York, Seattle, Miami, Montreal, Los Angeles, and Vancouver.
Existing Environment
Active Directory Environment
The network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a child
domain for each office.
Active Directory currently contains 7,500 user accounts and 15,000 computer accounts.
Network Infrastructure
All servers are located in a data center in Toronto. The data center contains multiple subnets that
are separated by firewalls.
The Toronto data center contains a cluster that runs Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Service
Pack 1 (SP1).
Four servers are unused and are being considered as potential Hyper-V hosts. The servers are
configured as shown in the following table.

All of the servers being considered as potential Hyper-V hosts have both locally attached storage and
access to a SAN.

Help Desk Environment
Contoso uses a help desk ticketing system that was developed in-house. Fifty help desk agents have
access to the ticketing system. The ticketing system currently tracks:
• An average of two new incidents per month, per client computer
• An average of 2,000 change requests per month
Disaster Recovery Environment
Contoso uses a third-party backup solution. Backups are scheduled for the servers in the
Seattle office as follows:
• The daily incremental backups total 10 GB.
• The total size of data to back up is 100 GB.
• Backed up data is retained for 10 business days.
Problem Statements
The original developers of the help desk ticketing system are no longer employed by Contoso and
maintenance of the system is becoming an issue.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Contoso plans to move the IT infrastructure to a private cloud. Whenever possible, hardware and
software costs must be minimized.
Contoso plans to open a small office in Beijing. System Center 2012 App Controller will be used to
manage applications. The display names of the applications will be in Simplified Chinese Pinyin IME.
New physical servers will be deployed by using System Center 2012 Configuration
Manager from a server named Servers. Servers will also be a PXE service point.
The current backup solution will be replaced with System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager
(DPM).
A public key infrastructure (PKI) will be deployed to issue and manage certificates. The PKI
deployment must be made as secure as possible.
Hardware load balancers will be deployed for use in the deployment of private cloud services.
Cloud Requirements
Contoso plans to implement a cloud solution that meets the following requirements:
• Stores all virtual machines on the SAN only.
• Uses SAN copy to provision the virtual machines.
• Provides the ability to manage the resolution of incidents.
• Contains managed virtual machines across both private and public clouds.
• Provides the ability to customize the settings of management packs provided by Microsoft.
• Collects security events from all of the servers running in the private cloud and provides
centralized reporting on the events.
App1 Requirements
A new application named App1 will be deployed to the private cloud. App1 is a three-tier application
that contains the following components:
• A front-end tier that runs a web server. The tier must be highly available and capable of
being quickly scaled out if required.
• A middle tier that runs an application server.
• A back-end tier that runs a database.
App2 Requirements
An application named App2 will be deployed to the public cloud. Users will be authenticated by
using the on-premises Active Directory. The users must be able to access App2 without being
prompted for authentication again.

DRAG DROP
You need to configure the storage fabric to support the deployment of the virtual machines. The
solution must meet the cloud requirements. Which three actions should you perform in sequence?
(To answer, move the appropriate three actions from the list of actions to the answer area and
arrange them in the correct order.)

Wait, how do you allocate storage to a host group before the ISCSI target has been installed and a target created? And didn’t the requirements state that it needs to be a SAN?

IT seems all things about SAN connection is already done because case study says: “All of the servers being considered as potential Hyper-V hosts have both locally attached storage and access to a SAN”. We no need to install iSCSI target to turn a server to storage because a SAN storage is already existed.

When we Add Storage device in VMM, VMM uses SMI-S provider to find and manage SAN Storage.

The question is not asking to manage a iSCSI storage, The question is asking for managing “Storage Fabric” which is about VMM. IT seems all things about configuring iSCSI is already done and the question wants us to manage storage and get ready it for VMs. So first of all we need to add storage device to VMM, Then we have to allocate capacity to a host group and finally create LUN and assign to hosts. In my opinion it must be like that:

1- Run the add storage device wizard
2- Allocate storage to a host group
3- assign storage to hosts and clusters

according to: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610600.aspx ( Storage automation workflow )

Babak is right
1- Run the add storage device wizard
2- Allocate storage to a host group
3- assign storage to hosts and clusters

step 1 is to find the iSCSI storage device, step 2 is to tell which hosts are allowed to use the storage, and step 3 is to tell the host it can use this storage.

The Microsoft iSCSI target software is to export it’s local storage as if it is a iSCSI storage box.
