Topic 12, Fabrikam, Inc (B)
Overview
Fabrikam, Inc. is an IT services and hosting provider.
Fabrikam has two main data centers. The data centers are located in New York and Montreal. The data centers connect to each other by using high-bandwidth, low latency WAN links. Each data center connects directly to the Internet.
Existing Environment
The network contains an Active Directory forest named fabrikam.com that is dedicated to hosting services. All of the servers in the forest run Windows Server 2012 R2.
The network contains a System Center 2012 R2 infrastructure that includes the following components:
Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server
Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
Service Provider Foundation
Operations Manager
Orchestrator
Fabrikam has implemented Hyper-V Network Virtualization in the hosting environment.
All storage is either SAN-based or direct-attached storage (DAS). All VMM library servers use DAS storage. None of the VMM library servers are managed as VMM Hyper-V hosts.
Each Hyper-V host has four 10-GbE network adapters.
Requirements
Business Goals
Fabrikam plans to provide hosting services to two customers named Customer1 and Customer2. Customer1 is based in New York and Customer2 is based in Montreal. IT services will include assistance managing the services in the following table.
The internal network of Customer1 contains a System Center 2012 R2 infrastructure that includes the following components:
Operations Manager
App Controller
VMM
Customer1 plans to deploy multi-tier VMM services that run Internet Information Services (IIS), .NET applications, and Microsoft SQL Server. Customer1 plans to deploy nonclustered virtual machines only.
Planned Changes
Fabrikam plans to implement the following changes to the network:
Deploy a Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) virtual machine.
Replace the SAN by using iSCSI targets on servers that run Windows Server 2012 R2.
General Requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following requirements for the planned deployment:
Hyper-V hosts must remain available if a single network adapter fails. You must be able to control the amount of bandwidth allocated to iSCSI traffic and Failover Clustering redirected traffic.
Virtual machines that run in the Fabrikam data centers must remain available if a single data center fails. The recovery point objective (RPO) must be 30 seconds.
The IT staff at Fabrikam must be able to mount iSCSI target logical units on Hyper-V hosts directly from the Virtual Machine Manager console.
Hyper-V management and storage traffic must be separated from the network traffic generated by virtual machine guests.
Virtual machines must be deployed by using a SAN copy.
If a site fails, a failover must be invoked manually.
Customer1 Requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following requirements for Customer1:
Customer1 will use Hyper-V Network Virtualization in its hosted environment.
Customer1 will require the ability to manage all of its cloud services from a single interface.
Each deployment of a virtual machine for Customer1 must trigger the execution of a runbook by using the Orchestrator web service. The runbook must execute before any user account logs on to the virtual machine.

A. Monitor state SLO - Availability
B. Monitor state SLO - Security
C. Collection rule SLO
D. Monitor state SLO - Performance
E. Monitor state SLO - Configuration
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230719.aspx
To define a service level objective for an application
Open the Operations console with an account that is a member of the Operations Manager
Administrators user role.
Click Authoring.
In the navigation pane, expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Service Level
Tracking.
In the Tasks pane, click Create.
In the Service Level Tracking dialog box, type a name for the service level that you are
defining. For example, type LOB Application 1. Optionally, you can provide a description.
Click Next.
On the Objects to Track page, under Targeted class, click Select.
In the Select a Target Class dialog box, select a class for the service level, such as
Distributed Application, from the list in the text box. You can search for a class by typing its
name into the Look For text box. Click OK to close the Select a Target dialog box.
You can use the Scope option to specify the scope for the service level. The default
selection is to use all objects of the targeted class.
Select the management pack that this service level will be saved in. You can use an
existing management pack or create a new one.
Click Next.
On the Service Level Objectives page, click Add, and then click Monitor state SLO to
create a new monitor.
This monitor will track the availability of the application.
Define the state monitor as follows:
In the Service level objective name text box, type a name for the service level objective.
For this scenario, type Availability.
From the Monitor drop-down list, choose the specific monitor that you want to use to
measure the objective. For this scenario, choose Availability.
Using the Service level objective goal (%) spin box, provide the numerical measure for your
objective. For example, select 99.990 to indicate that your goal is 99.99% availability.
You can refine what the monitor tracks to determine availability by selecting or clearing any
of the following state criteria:
Unplanned maintenance
Unmonitored
Monitoring unavailable
Monitor disabled
Planned maintenance
Warning
Click OK.
On the Service Level Objectives page, click Add, and then click Collection rule SLO to
create a new collection rule. This rule will track the performance of the application Define
the performance collection rule as follows:
In the Service level objective name: text box, type a name for the service level objective.
For this scenario, type Performance.
Under Targeted class, click Select to open the Select a Target Class dialog box. Specify
the target class for the rule from the list of targets in the text box. Note that this class must
be contained in the distributed application.
For this scenario, select the specific class the rule is targeted to, such as Windows Server
2008 Operating System.
Under Performance collection rule, click Select to open the Select a Rule dialog box.
Specify the performance collection rule to use. For this scenario, choose Collect Processor\
% Processor Time performance counter, and then click OK.
Using one of the Aggregation method options, choose one of the following:
Average
Min
Max
Use the Service level objective goal drop-down list to specify either Less than or More than,
and enter a value in the adjacent text box. For this scenario, choose Less Than and 80.
This indicates that the performance goal is to never exceed 80% processor time.
Click OK.
On the Service Level Objectives page, click Next.
On the Summary page, review the settings, and then click Finish.
When the Completion page appears, click Close.
