I’m playing around SCVMM 2016 SDN Express to see if I’d be able to deploy VMM SDN within my lab using PowerShell scripts. I don't have much practice in things like these, so please bear with me ?

This article I’ve found(https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/how-to-deploy-software-defined-networking-with-vmm-sdn-express-for-scvmm-2016) seems to be providing a pretty much detailed guideline, however I’m still wondering how to properly import and edit the SDN service templates.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Not long ago, I started to research Azure Resource Manager and all that it involves. The main goal is to deploy a VM with access to SQL database. Now I'm still trying to work on deploying azure sample templates using this guide: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/getting-started-with-azure-resource-manager-and-azure-deployment-part-iii

But my question relates specifically to the Azure Resource Groups. Lets say I have a couple of resource groups each containing one resource (according to the Azure architecture). Can I somehow streamline them? Maybe using tags? And if so, how to accomplish that?

Speaking shortly, I decided to stress-test my brand new 4-node S2D cluster.

I started with IOMeter and got the initial results (max IOPS/Throughput on different patterns). Then I thought it would be a good idea to find IOmeter configs that would simulate the real production workload. Sadly, I didn't find anything useful for IOmeter, but discovered the fancy Powershell script called VMFleet that uses MS Diskspd to stress the storage and simulates the "bootstorm".

I followed this blog article during the configuration process to prepare and configure the lab.

set-vmfleet.ps1 script showed me some errors so I replicated all the steps manually.

Next I ran start-vmfleet.ps1 but it seems that output just shows zeros instead of actual results.

For how long should I run the watch-cluster.ps1 to see the results? Have anyone used VMFleet before? This doesn't look like the expected behaviour.

Thanks in advance!
