Resources
Students should refer to this unit in Moodle (e-learning.vit.edu.au) to access a list of resources
for this unit (see Learner Resources section for relevant articles, links, instructions for labs
etc).
Lab resources:
To complete labs, you can either do them on the VIT lab in rooms 4 in level 10, or you can do them at
home on your own computer.
If you choose to use the VIT lab in rooms 4 in level 10, you will need to open the virtual machine
ICTSUS501 in VMWorkstation.

Assessment 1: Written Assessment
Student Name: ______________________________________________________________
Student ID No: ______________________________________________________________
Student Instructions:
• Your answers should be on a separate document using word processing software such as
MS Word & or other software (hand written submissions are only acceptable with prior approval
from your Trainer)
• Your document should be professionally formatted and include
o Your Name
o Your Student ID
o Unit Code
o Assessment Number (i.e. ICTSUS501 Assessment 1)
• Please reference to each question number and retype each question with your answers
• This is an open book assessment, you must answer every question and provide enough
information to demonstrate sufficient understanding of what has been asked to achieve
competency. Please ask your Traine
Assessor if you are unsure what is sufficient detail for an
answer
• Ask your traine
assessor if you do not understand a question. Whist your traine
assessor
cannot tell you the answer, he/she may be able to re-word the question for you or provide further
assistance based on the Institute’s “Reasonable Adjustment Policy”
• Answers should be your own work, in your own words and not plagiarised, nor copied.
However, if an answer is cut & pasted (such as a definition), then the source should be
eferenced

Information for Students
This is an open-book assessment. Write your answers to the questions below. Unless
otherwise specified keep all your answers below 100 words. Use your own words in the
answers – don’t copy information ve
atim from the Internet!
1. Briefly explain what is meant by the following terms:
• business domain;
• business function;
• organisation.
2. Summarise how I determine if a guest operating system, say Windows 2008 Server is
compatible with Microsoft Hyper V. If an operating system is not compatible with Microsoft
Hyper V, what, if anything, can I do to resolve the situation?
3. Describe how I would configure the following IP-related parameters on a Windows server: IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
4, List two software products that are cu
ently used in industry to provide server virtualisation.
5. Give two examples of information about a server running virtualisation software you would
document as part of a technical specification for that server. For each example of information,
describe how you would gather the information.
6. In a project implementing a virtualisation solution, it is typical to have a planning process, a
uild process and a manage process. Give an example of how the outputs from one phase in
the project, such as the planning process, can become an input into the next phase of the
project, such as the build process.
7. List two system diagnostic tools I could use to gather information about servers that I am
considering for virtualisation. Briefly describe how I would use the tools.
8. When I am planning my server design for virtualisation,
iefly summarise the considerations
that would apply to configuring power supplies and power management on a server running
virtualisation software.

9. When I am planning my server design for virtualisation,
iefly describe at least two factors
that determine how much memory (RAM) is needed on a server running virtualisation
software, such as Microsoft Hyper-V.
10. When I am planning my server design for virtualisation,
iefly describe at least two factors
that determine how many processors are needed on a server running virtualisation software,
such as Microsoft Hyper-V.
11. When I am planning my network architecture for virtualisation, ,
iefly describe at least two
factors that determine how many network cards (NICs) and what bandwidth are needed on a
server running virtualisation software, such as Microsoft Hyper-V.
12. When setting up and installing Microsoft Hyper V, how do I determine what server hardware is
compatible with the software I want to install, i.e. what vendor resource would I consult to
answer this question?
13. Briefly describe the three types of virtual switches supported in Microsoft Hyper V.
14. Briefly describe the purpose of checkpointing in Microsoft Hyper V.
15. Briefly describe the following features as they apply to server CPUs
a. Single processor
. Multi-processo
16. You have been asked to research and analyse alternative virtualisations scenarios for a
company called DEF Corporation. The company wants to vritualise its existing servers, which
are cu
ently running operating systems such as Windows 2012 and Ubuntu Linux. Complete
the table below for comparing the virtualisation alternatives of Microsoft Hyper-V with Citrix
Xenserver 6.2. You should also note any risks associated with running either of the alternative
virtualization solutions, such as support a
angements, and finding skills in the product.
Option Hyper-V Xenserver
Support for Windows 2012 guests
Support for Ubuntu guests
Licensing costs (e.g. commercial or free)

Assessment 2: Case Study
Information for students
This is a project
eport assessment task. You have the option of doing the task as a group (3
students maximum per group). You should use the Case Study Report Template (see Learner
Resources for the unit) to help you structure your assignment. Write your report, making sure to list
all the students who are in your group in the Introduction to the report. All students need to hand in a
copy of the report as part of their assessment submission.
Scenario
For this assessment task, you need to prepare a report that outlines a server virtualisation plan,
designs a virtual server specification and describes how a virtual server will be installed and tested,
for a college called ABC College. ABC cu
ently has 20 physical servers, with different Operating
System, CPU utlilisation, RAM utilisation and application software requirements (see ABC College
Hardware and Software inventory below).
ABC Hardware and Software Inventory .
ABC College is cu
ently running physical servers with the following characteristics:
Operating System Number of
Servers
CPU Utilisation (Ave.) Memory Utilisation
(Ave)
Amount of disk
space used
Windows 2012
Server
4 5 50 4TB
Windows 2008
Server
XXXXXXXXXXTB
Ubuntu Linux XXXXXXXXXXTB
ABC College has an organisational policy prefe
ing a fully virtualised solution, so is looking for a
solution that will enable it to virtualise all its existing servers. ABC College has already done some
feasibility study of how it could virtualise all its cu
ent servers that has confirmed this should be
possible. ABC College also and has an organisational preference for Microsoft solutions.
That initial feasibility report on server virtualisation has noted the following points
• Any virtualization cluster should not have a single point of failure i.e. the cluster should have a
minimum of two nodes,
• A preference for a Hyper-V solution
• Data can be migrated between physical and virtual servers of the same type by using the
company’s backup software to backup files from the physical machine and restore them on a
new virtual machine
Your report is being prepared for Ms. Johnson, the IT Manager at ABC College.
Your report should include the following parts (see the ICTSUS501 Case Study Report Template) in
Learner Resources for this subject.
