1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,590
New Storage Features in Windows Server 2022. This is what we're going to cover.

2
00:00:06,590 --> 00:00:08,390
Storage service improvements,

3
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:13,520
just the general improvements for storage service in this new operating system,

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,360
and the storage bus cache is now available for standalone

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,940
servers, so we're going to take a look at that.

6
00:00:19,940 --> 00:00:24,240
Let's begin by looking at storage service improvements.

7
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:29,770
We're going to cover storage service improvements in Windows Server 2022.

8
00:00:29,770 --> 00:00:32,740
First, the Storage Migration Service.

9
00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:37,990
This is how you can migrate local users and groups to a new server.

10
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:40,910
You can migrate storage from failover clusters,

11
00:00:40,910 --> 00:00:43,210
and migrate to failover clusters,

12
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:47,840
and migrate between standalone servers and failover clusters.

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,900
This allows easier synchronization of migrated shares

14
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:55,390
into Azure by using the Azure File Sync.

15
00:00:55,390 --> 00:00:59,920
If you have a new network in Microsoft Azure, you can migrate there as well.

16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,960
And lastly, you can migrate NetApp Common Internet File System,

17
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,540
or CIFS servers, from NetApp Fabric‑Attached Storage arrays.

18
00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:13,100
So with the Storage Migration Service,

19
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:16,620
migrating your files has become quite a bit easier.

20
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:20,110
Both from clusters to Azure, different networks,

21
00:01:20,110 --> 00:01:25,840
different clusters, migrating your files has never been easier than they are now.

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,040
Another advancement is the Storage Spaces repair service.

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,040
This can enumerate storage pools that are read‑only and offer to recover them.

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720
You can find storage spaces that are set for manual

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,740
attachment and it will attach them.

26
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:43,820
It repairs any unhealthy storage spaces,

27
00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:47,180
displays unhealthy physical disks so you can know

28
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:49,660
about it before you have a problem,

29
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:54,360
and a new feature in Storage Spaces Direct can offer control over the

30
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,090
data resync process by allocating resources to either,

31
00:01:59,090 --> 00:02:04,820
which gives you resiliency, or run active workloads for performance improvements.

32
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:10,170
This gives you more flexibility and more efficiency in servicing your clusters.

33
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:14,890
Last thing to look at, the Resilient File System file‑level snapshots.

34
00:02:14,890 --> 00:02:17,890
You need ReFS 3.7 for this.

35
00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:22,210
This is used in virtual machine backup scenarios with virtual hard drives.

36
00:02:22,210 --> 00:02:25,270
It uses a quick metadata operation that takes a

37
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:29,310
constant time irrespective of file size.

38
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:31,410
In order to get all this functionality,

39
00:02:31,410 --> 00:02:35,940
you just use the familiar utility ReFSUtil.

40
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:42,110
So that is a look at the storage improvements for Windows Server 2022.

41
00:02:42,110 --> 00:02:43,040
Up next,

42
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:50,000
we're going to look at the storage bus cache with Storage Spaces in Windows Server 2022.
