  1. Module 7 Installing and Configuring System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager

  2. Module Overview • Integrating System Center and Server Virtualization Overview of System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager Installing System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Adding Hosts and Managing Host Groups

  3. Lesson 1: Integrating System Center and Server Virtualization • Provisioning Server Virtualization with VMM Managing Server Virtualization by Using App Controller Monitoring Server Virtualization by Using Operations Manager Integrating Service Manager Automating Tasks with Orchestrator Using Data Protection Manager to Protect VMs Using the Windows Azure Pack for Self-Service Capabilities

  4. Provisioning Server Virtualization with VMM Compares with vCenter Server VMM features include: • Multihost support – Hyper-V, Citrix Xenserver, VMware • Intelligent placement • Dynamic optimization • App-V support • Live migration • Delegated administration • Cloud, infrastructure, and services management Enhanced in System Center 2012 R2 VMM: • Networking, virtual machines in the cloud environment, storage, infrastructure, and support for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

  5. Managing Server Virtualization by Using System Center App Controller App Controller: • Replaces the now deprecated VMM self-service portal • Provides delegated access to private and public cloud resources, such as: • Virtual machines • Services • Templates, images • Allows administrators to migrate between VMM, Windows Azure, and service provider data centers

  6. Monitoring Server Virtualization by Using System Center Operations Manager • Operations Manager provides: • Application monitoring in both the private and public clouds • Dashboards • Health monitoring • Alerts • Agent and agentless monitoring • Fabric monitoring • By integrating Operations Manager and VMM, you can monitor an entire virtualized environment

  7. Integrating System Center Service Manager With Service Manager, you can: • Implement service management, as defined in the ITIL and the Microsoft Operations Framework • Use the built-in process management packs to provide processes for: • Defining templates and workflows • Implementing change requests and change request templates • Manually designing activity templates • Enforcing compliance

  8. Automating Tasks with System Center Orchestrator Orchestrator provides the ability to: • Automate processes across systems, platforms, and cloud services • Automate best practices • Connect different systems from different vendors • Implement built-in integration packs • Implement end-to-end automation across multiple System Center products Enhancements in System Center 2012 R2: • Increases multiple runbook workers that combine with Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server • Use runbooks to automate tasks with Windows PowerShell

  9. Using System Center Data Protection Manager to Protect a Server Virtualization Deployment DPM provides: • Disk and tape-based data protection and recovery • Recover bare-metal servers and desktops running Windows operating systems • Central management from the DPM Administrator Console • Role-based access permissions to distribute backup and restore management • Enhancements in System Center 2012 R2: • Windows Azure Backup • SQL Server cluster support • Virtualized deployment • Linux virtual machine backup

  10. Using the Windows Azure Pack for Self-Service Capabilities Provides the following capabilities: • Management portal for tenants • Management portal for administrators • Service management API • Windows Azure Web site and virtual machine access to private cloud • Service bus communication between applications • Automate and extend custom services

  11. Lesson 2: Overview of System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager • Introducing System Center 2012 R2 VMM Fabric Management VMM Architecture • Determining Topology for a VMM Deployment

  12. Introducing System Center 2012 R2 VMM Significant enhancements in the following areas: • Enterprise-class performance • Support for up to 1,000 host and 25,000 virtual machines • Dynamic VHDX resize • Automatic upgrade Hyper-V clusters with Live Migration • Enhanced support for Citrix and VMware hosts • Simplified provisioning and migration • Storage improvements • Bare-metal provisioning • Multitenant cloud infrastructure • Provisioning Windows Azure infrastructure

  13. Fabric Management Fabric Management • Fabric includes network and storage infrastructure, host computers and groups, and WDS and WSUS servers • Aggregates and abstracts everything into resources that can be consumed and deployed • Accessed by administrator and designated user roles in private cloud resource allocation Network management Power management Storage management Update management Dynamic Optimization Hyper-V, Citrix, VMware Hyper-V bare metal provisioning Monitoring Integration 13

  14. VMM Architecture SQL App Controller Management Server Management Console Library Hosts (1000 Per Management Server)

  15. VMM Architecture Compares with vCenter Heartbeat SQL Cluster Management Console Management Server Cluster NLB App Controller Hosts (1000 Per Management Server) Library on Clustered File Server

  16. Determining Topology for a VMM Deployment Windows Azure VMM Console App Controller SQL database Server Library Server VMM Server Branch Office VMM Servers WSUS Server WDS Server VMware vCenter Server Hyper-V Host Citrix XenServer Host ESX Host

  17. Lesson 3: Adding Hosts and Managing Host Groups • What Are Host Groups? Deploying Hyper-V Hosts to Bare-Metal Computers

  18. What Are Host Groups? • Allows collective management of physical hosts • Can nest host groups: Parent-Child inheritance applies • Configurable properties include: • Naming & moving group, allow unencrypted file transfers • Placement rules: Virtual machine must, should, must not or should not match the host • Host reserves: Can reserve various resources for host alone • Includes CPU, Memory, Disk I/O and space, Network I/O • Dynamic optimization – for determining vm load • Resource default: CPU 30%, RAM 512MB, Disk I/O 0% • Power optimization included • Network: Can assign varied network resources: IP pools, load balancers, logical networks & MAC pools • Storage: Can assign storage pools and logical units resources

  19. Deploying Hyper-V Hosts to Bare-Metal Computers • Physical computer without an operating system installed is installed AND deployed as physical host • Requirements: • Network adapter PXE-enabled; PXE server in domain • BIOS set to PXE-boot first • BMCs have proper credentials • Host profile must already exist • MAC address discovered for static IP assignment; VMM SP1 and R2 offer Deep Discovery – automates IP assignment • Uses Fabric workspace, Add Resource Wizard, to launch deployment
