Migrate an existing cluster to Network ATC

Migrate an existing cluster to Network ATC

This article is contributed. See the original author and article here.

Since Azure Stack HCI 21H2, customers have used Network ATC to:



  • Reduce host networking deployment timecomplexity, and errors

  • Deploy the latest Microsoft validated and supported best practices

  • Ensure configuration consistency across the cluster

  • Eliminate configuration drift


Network ATC has led to HUGE reductions in customer support cases which means increased uptime for your business applications and less headaches for you! But what if you already deployed your cluster? How do you take advantage now that you’re travelled through that trepidatious train of thought against taking on new technology?


 


With minimal alliteration, this article will show you how to migrate an existing cluster to Network ATC so you can take advantage of all the benefits mentioned above. Once completed, you could easily cookie-cut this configuration across all new deployments using our previous blog; so this would be a one-time migration, and all new clusters will gain the benefits!


 


Before you begin


Since this is a live cluster with running VMs, we’ll take some precautions to ensure we’re never working on a host with a running VM on it. If you don’t have running workloads on these nodes, you don’t need these instructions. Just add your intent command as if this was a brand-new cluster.


 


As some background, Network ATC stores information in the cluster database which is then replicated to other nodes in the cluster. The Network ATC service on the other nodes in the cluster see the change in the cluster database and implements the new intent. So we setup the cluster to receive a new intent, but we can also control the rollout of the new intent by stopping or disabling the Network ATC service on nodes that have virtual machines on them.


 


Procedure


Step 1: Install the Network ATC feature


First, let’s install Network ATC on EVERY node in the cluster using the following command. This does not require a reboot.


 

Install-WindowsFeature -Name NetworkATC

 


Step 2: Pause one node in the cluster


Pause one node in the cluster. This node will be migrated to Network ATC. We’ll repeat this step later for other nodes in the cluster too. As a result of this pause, all workloads will migrate to other nodes in the cluster leaving this machine available for changes. To do this, you can use the command:


 

Suspend-ClusterNode

 


Step 3: Stop the Network ATC service


For all nodes that are not paused, stop and disable the Network ATC service. As a reminder, this is to prevent Network ATC from implementing the intent while there are running virtual machines. To do this, you can use the commands:


 

Set-Service  -Name NetworkATC -StartupType Disabled
Stop-Service -Name NetworkATC

 


Step 4: Remove existing configuration


Next, we’ll remove any previous configurations that might interfere with Network ATC’s ability to implement the intent. An example of this might be a Data Center Bridging (NetQos) policy for RDMA traffic. Network ATC will also deploy this, and if it sees a conflicting policy, Network ATC is wise enough not to interfere with it until you make it clear which policies you want to keep. While Network ATC will attempt to “adopt” the existing configuration if the names match (whether it be NetQos or other settings) it’s far simpler to just remove the existing configuration and let Network ATC redeploy.


 


Network ATC deploys a lot more than these items, but these are the items that need to be resolved before implementing the new intent.


 


VMSwitch


If you have more than one VMSwitch on this system, ensure you specify the switch attached to the adapters that will be used in this intent.


 

Get-VMSwitch -Name  | Remove-VMSwitch -force

 


Data Center Bridging Configuration


Remove the existing DCB Configurations. 


 

Get-NetQosTrafficClass | Remove-NetQosTrafficClass
Get-NetQosPolicy       | Remove-NetQosPolicy -Confirm:$false
Get-NetQosFlowControl  | Disable-NetQosFlowControl

 


LBFO


If you accidentally deployed an LBFO team, we’ll need to remove that as well. As you might have read, LBFO is not supported on Azure Stack HCI at all. Don’t worry, Network ATC will prevent these types of accidental oversights in the future as it will never deploy a solution that we do not support.


 

Get-NetLBFOTeam | Remove-NetLBFOTeam -Confirm:$true

 


SCVMM


If the nodes were configured via VMM, these configuration objects may need to be removed from VMM as well.


 


Step 5: Add the Network ATC intent


It’s now time to add a Network ATC intent. You’ll only need to do this once since Network ATC intents are implemented cluster wide. However, we have taken some precautions to control the speed of the rollout. In step 2, we paused this node so there are no running workloads on it. In step 3, we stopped and disabled the Network ATC service on nodes where there are running workloads.


If you stopped and disabled the Network ATC service, you should start this service on this node only. To do this, run the following command:


 

Set-Service   -Name NetworkATC -StartupType Automatic
Start-Service -Name NetworkATC

 


 


Now, add your Network ATC intent(s). There are some example intents listed on our documentation here.


 


Step 6: Verify deployment on one node


To verify that the node has successfully deployed the intent submitted in step 5, use the Get-NetIntentStatus command as shown below.


 

Get-NetIntentStatus -Name ​

 


 


The Get-NetIntentStatus command will show the deployment status of the requested intents. Eventually, there will be one object per intent returned from each node in the cluster. As a simple example, if you had a 3-node cluster with 2 intents, you would see 6 objects returned by this command, each with their own status.


 


Before moving on from this step, ensure that each intent you added has an entry for the host you’re working on, and the ConfigurationStatus shows Success. If the ConfigurationStatus shows “Failed” you should look to see if the Error message indicates why it failed. We have some quick resolutions listed in our documentation here.


 


DanCuomo_0-1686264937027.png


 


Step 7: Rename the VMSwitch on other nodes


Now that one node is deployed with Network ATC, we’ll get ready to move on to the next node. To do this, we’ll migrate the VMs off the next node. This requires that the nodes have the same VMSwitch name as the node deployed with Network ATC. This is a non-disruptive change and can be done on all nodes at the same time.


 

Rename-VMSwitch -Name 'ExistingName' -NewName 'NewATCName'

 


 


Why don’t we change the Network ATC VMSwitch? Two reasons, the first is that Network ATC ensures that all nodes in the cluster have the same name to ensure live migrations and symmetry. The second is that you really shouldn’t need to worry about the VMSwitch name. This is simply a configuration artifact and just one more thing you’d need to ensure is perfectly deployed. Instead of that, Network ATC implements and controls the names of configuration objects.


 


Step 8: Resume the cluster node


This node is now ready to re-enter the cluster. Run this command to put it back into service:


 

Resume-ClusterNode

 


 


Step 9: Rinse and Repeat


Each node will need to go through the procedure outlined above. To complete the migration to Network ATC across the cluster, repeat steps 1 – 4, 6 and 8.


 


Summary


Migrating your existing clusters to Network ATC can be a game-changer for your cluster infrastructure and management. By automating and simplifying your network management, Network ATC can help you save time, increase efficiency, improve overall performance and avoid cluster downtime.

Microsoft Defender for IoT moves to site-based licensing for protecting OT environments

Microsoft Defender for IoT moves to site-based licensing for protecting OT environments

This article is contributed. See the original author and article here.

On June 1, 2023, Microsoft Defender for IoT moved to site-based licensing for organizations looking to protect their operation technology (OT) environments. The previous Azure consumption model for this solution will no longer be available for purchase by new customers. Existing customers can choose to transition to site-based licensing or remain on the consumption model.


 


In today’s digital transformation, operational technology (OT) has become an important part of various industries, from power plants and manufacturing facilities to transportation systems and healthcare institutions. While OT systems play an essential role in smoothly operating critical infrastructure, adversaries often target vulnerabilities in these interconnected systems causing severe business and operational disruption, financial losses, reputational damage, and more. Microsoft Defender for IoT helps organizations reduce these risks by enabling security teams to identify and remediate vulnerable OT systems in their environment – limiting exposure to threats like ransomware and targeted malware attacks.


 


To help organizations evolve their defenses against the growing attacks on OT environments, we are thrilled to announce site-based licensing for Defender for IoT. This new model brings increased price predictability and flexibility to organizations with sites that vary in size by offering a tiered approach based on the maximum number of OT devices looking to be protected per site. With this solution, organizations can easily determine and manage the cost of securing their OT systems. We believe that by introducing site-based licensing, we are making it more convenient than ever for organizations to empower security teams with the tools needed to manage and protect their operational technology.


 


Note: A site is a physical location (facility, campus, office building, hospital, rig, etc.).​


 


 


How site-based licensing works 


 


Organizations that want to secure their OT environments with Defender for IoT will now be able to purchase annual licenses with standard pricing based on the maximum number of OT devices they wish to protect at each individual site. Prices are flat rates for each site size and are not prorated based on the numbers of devices. Site sizes are determined by the maximum number of devices per site.


 


Nick_C_0-1686242914275.png


 


Note: Defender for IoT site entitlement is licensed annually with standard pricing respective to each site tier.


 


For example, if an organization wanted to secure all OT devices with Defender for IoT across three of its sites – where site one has 90 OT devices, site two has 700 devices, and site three has 25 devices, the organization would have to buy an Extra-Small license for site one, a Large license for site two, and another Extra-Small license for site three.


 


Note: For scenarios where an organization wants to secure over 5000 OT devices at a single site, we ask that they contact their Microsoft sales representative.


 


 


Let us know what you think


 


We are excited to provide organizations with a more convenient way to consume Defender for IoT in a manner that is flexible enough to accommodate varying site sizes, while also being predictably priced. If you have any feedback, please feel free to let us know in the comments below.
