MSDN Resources Migrate and upgrade Team Foundation Server
What the Study Guide says… • Install and configure Lab Management. • setting up environment templates • installing and configuring test agents • installing and configuring System Center Virtual Machine Manager (basic Virtual Machine Manager installation) • creating library shares or resource pools
Setting up environment templates • If you are a system administrator, you might have to regularly create new golden virtual machines to satisfy the needs of various team projects. • Detailed instructions can be found in the article “How to: Create and Store Virtual Machines and Templates Ready for Lab Management” at http://examcr.am/1452Ket
Installing and configuring test agents • Lab agents and test agents from previous versions of Lab Management have been combined into one type of agent – the test agent. • Detailed instructions can be found in the article “Installing and Configuring Test Agents and Test Controllers” at http://examcr.am/11pcal8
Installing and configuring System Center Virtual Machine Manager • To access the virtual machines that you create with Hyper-V from Lab Management, you must install and configure SCVMM. • SCVMM is a tool for managing your Hyper-V host machines from a central console. • Lab Management communicates with SCVMM to be able to use the virtual machines and templates to create environments • Detailed steps can be found at http://examcr.am/ZCTOv3
