  1. Module 10 Creating and Managing VMs with VMM

  2. Module Overview • Creating Virtual Machines • Cloning & Converting Virtual Machines

  3. Lesson 1: Creating VMs • Create a VM • Create a VM with PowerShell

  4. What Is a Virtual Machine Checkpoint? • A non-checkpointed .vhd/.vhdx • Checkpoint creates .avhd/.avhdx file • All subsequent changes are written to the .avhd/.avhdx file • When reverted, the and .avhd/.avhdx file is deleted Checkpoint .vhd .avhd Checkpoint .vhd .avhd

  5. Lesson 2: Cloning and Converting Virtual Machines • What Is Virtual Machine Cloning? Considerations for Virtual Machine Cloning Converting a Virtual Machine

  6. Creating Virtual Machines in VMM • Use the Create Virtual Machine Wizard • Can use existing resources such as virtual machines, templates, .vhds • Create a brand new virtual machine • Configure Hardware page provides many options • Intelligent placement on host

  7. Configuring Virtual Machine Placement in VMM • Virtual Machine Manager evaluates a host’s capacity and performance • Automatically places a virtual machine on the most suitable host • Makes star rating recommendations through intelligent placement

  8. What Is Virtual Machine Cloning? • Rapid way to deploy a virtual machine • Makes copy of the .vhd/.vhdx, configuration files, and memory contents • Original can be online if using System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager • Cloned virtual machine is an exact copy with the same identity Virtual Machine 1 Virtual Machine 1

  9. Considerations for Virtual Machine Cloning • The cloned virtual machine has the same name and domain SID of the original virtual machine • After cloning, run Sysprep, or manually change to unique settings and values • Ensure sufficient disk space exists on host

  10. Converting a Virtual Machine • Convert Citrix XenServer virtual machines to Hyper-V via a P2V conversion • Virtual-to-virtual machine conversion supports converting: • In System Center 2012 VMM • ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 5 • ESX/ESXi 4.0 • ESX/ESXi 4.1 • ESXi 5.1 • In System Center 2012 SP1 VMM and System Center 2012 R2 VMM • ESX/ESXi 4.1 • ESXi 5.1
