    3. Managing Virtual Machines with Virtual Machine Manager Edwin Yuen Technical Product Manager System Center Microsoft

    4. Agenda

    5. Virtualization: Key Enabler of Dynamic IT

    6. Microsoft Virtualization Products

    7. Virtualization Management Personas

    8. Microsoft Virtualization Management

    9. IT Management with System Center

    10. Maximize Resources Centralized virtual machine deployment and management Intelligent placement of Virtual Machines Fast and reliable P2V and V2V conversion Comprehensive service-level enterprise monitoring with Operations Manager Increase Agility Rapid provisioning of new and virtual machines with templates and profiles Centralized library of infrastructure components Leverage and extend existing storage infrastructure Allow for delegated management of VMs Leverage Skills Familiar interface, common foundation Monitor physical and virtual machines from one console Fully scriptable using PowerShell

    11. What's new with VMM

    12. VMM vs VirtualCenter

    13. What is needed for VMM 2007? ALL VMM functions require VMM only, except for the reporting. This includes new machine deployment, Intelligent Placement, P2V, and V2V Intelligent Placement relies on the VMM agent to provide real-time and historical data The reporting tab does not appear unless it is associated with a Operations Manager 2007 reporting server All reports, including the consolidation report, require Operations Manager 2007 System Center integration can also be done through PowerShell

    14. System Center Virtual Machine Manager

    15. Virtal Machine Manager: Architecture

    16. demo

    17. Host Configuration Wizard based experience for adding hosts Remote installation and configuration of virtualization software and management interfaces Remotely enable and install Virtual Server 2005 Configure all settings, including VMRC, Virtual Machine configurations, and virtual networks

    18. Library Repository for all VM building blocks VHDs Offline VMs ISOs Sysprep Answer Files PowerShell Scripts with Run option* Templates Use centralized or distributed Windows files servers as libraries Move/copy/delete/modify files directly in the file system VMM tracks changes and provides physical and logical view VMM stamps objects with a Id to uniquely track the object

    19. VM Provisioning and Server Consolidation Rapid virtual machine provisioning Wizard based approach for creating VMs VM templates - Syspreped VMs and hardware profile Clone existing VMs Server Consolidation Discovery of virtualization candidates Convert existing workloads

    20. Conversions: P2V and V2V Intuitive and easy to use tools provide: Core feature of VMM, no additional infrastructure or costs per conversion Wizard based experience Reconfigure storage, memory, CPU, etc. Efficient disk copy Preserves network settings and MAC addresses Automatable through PowerShell Supported platforms: Live - Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Offline - Windows 2000 Server

    21. Conversions: P2V and V2V Works from both Admin UI and PowerShell P2V Online requires no reboot; P2V Offline uses WinPE V2V Convert (Offline) either a VMWare disk or the whole VM to the analogous Microsoft VHD\VM representation Fix up (makingOS bootable) for Win2K, Win2K3 OSes Supportof four vmdk types (flat\sparse full\2gb split)

    22. Delegation and Self Service Policy Managed Delegation Administrators control access through policies which designate capabilities Manage a scoped environment Self service user Web user interface Manage their own VMs Quota to limit VMs

    23. Intelligent Placement Capacity planning technology ensures best resource utilization Star rated results for easy decision making Customizable algorithm to achieve your goals

    24. Intelligent Placement Details

    25. Placement - Host Ratings Calculation

    26. VM Deployment & Storage Integration LAN based deployment via BITS Integration with VDS for Fiber Channel and iSCSI based migrations NPIV solution for fiber channel SANs N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) is an ANSI/INCITS T11 standard Allows a physical port to acquire multiple SAN addresses Enables SAN best practices: each virtual machine is independently Zoned, and LUNs are mapped and masked using dedicated World Wide Port Names (WWPNs)

    27. VMM Scripting Through PowerShell Microsofts command shell for scripting and development Consistent scripting syntax Encapsulate platform differences VMM PowerShell Snap-in 170+ command-line functions Foundation for VMM administrators console and Self Service Portal All PowerShell operations are logged and audited

    28. PowerShell - Command Line Interface

    29. System Center Operations Manager End-to-end service monitoring Proactive management of IT services Integrated monitoring Increased efficiency and control Improved time to value Reduced IT management complexity Best of breed for Windows Reduced problem-resolution time Reduced TCO of Windows environment Expertise for over 50 Microsoft applications, servers, and clients

    30. In Guest Perspective Virtual Machine is a computer! Virtualization Workload Monitoring Host Perspective Virtualization is a new server workload, but with similar monitoring needs as existing workloads. Virtual Machine is a component of the virtualization stack

    31. Virtualization Management Pack Discovery of Hosts, Virtual Machines and Virtual Machine Manager components Performance and Health Monitoring, Reports, etc. Application awareness Resource calibration and optimization

    32. {DEMO}

    34. Increase Availability with Backups

    35. Virtual Server host-based protection

    36. Virtual Servers Online backups no downtime VSS consistent inside Windows Server 2003 sp1 New VM Additions VSS consistent outside VHD VSS writer Offline backups Pause virtual machine Save state of CPU (vsv) VSS shadow copy of VHD(s) Un-pause Block level synchronization of VHD changed blocks

    37. Disaster Recovery Staging

    38. Himalaya Offline VM Patch Management Problem Statement Manually patching offline VMs is error-prone and resource intensive No software tools exist from MS to patch the offline VMs automatically based on customer needs Goal Enable customers to effectively and securely patch offline VMs using automated tools and best practice guidance Business Value With the growth of virtualization in data centers ITpro is overwhelmed with patching offline VMs in addition to patching physical machines. Himalaya improves the efficiency of the patching process for offline VMs by using SCCM, SCVMM and WF technologies.

    39. Himalaya overview Identify VMs to patch Move VM to Host Prepare SCCM Start VM Patch Using SCCM Shutdown VM Move VM back under SCVMM

    40. System Center Virtual Machine Manager Road Map The next version of VMM will be available in the second half of 2008 This version will feature a series of new features and improvements to the VMM program We are developing features that will allow customers to use the next version of VMM to manage not only Windows-based virtual machines, but also VMware-based virtual machines, with Xen-based virtual machines in the version after. Solutions accelerator team working on offline VM patch management using VMM and Configuration Manager 2007

    41. VMM Futures: VMM vNext Two Key Themes Hyper-V support VMware Support Key Feature Investments Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V and Hyper-V Server support Support for VMware ESX with full Virtual Center functionality Expanded Delegated Administration support Improved Resource Calibration/Optimization

    42. VMM vNext Architecture

    43. Why Manage VMware? Customer demand You asked for it Provide an integrated view Standardize management processes and procedures across your virtual environments Leverage System Center family for complete management solution Driven by customer environments Co-existence of virtualization platforms is a reality today As Hyper-V is adopted, customers will migrate workloads for cost-effective virtualization.

    44. VMM vNext VMware Management Unified management experience Physical and Virtual Hyper-V and VMware Full virtual machine management VMotion, Resource Pools, etc. Enhancing capabilities on VMware VI3 Application aware calibration Intelligent Placement Library Integrated conversion tools Powershell automation

    45. Unified Management Powerful Cross Platform Virtualization Management Support for VMware VI3 Single management console across Virtual Server, Hyper-V and VI3 Manage and integrate multiple VMware environments Streamline and automate all tasks using VMM You decide where workloads should run across your environment
