VMM 2008 Installation

Each VMM component (server, Administrator console, self-service portal, library, and local

agent) can be installed on the same or different servers, depending on the organization’s

needs

The following example depicts installing the VMM server component on a Windows

Server 2008 x64 Standard Edition member server SQL Express Edition will be installed,

and the VMM library will be hosted on the same server

Installing VMM Server and the SQL Server Express Database on

Windows Server 2008

Begin by inserting the VMM 2008 media in the server Setup will run and display the

options for installation, as shown in Figure 9.2

Click Server from the Setup menu The setup program will copy files needed during setup

to the server and will prepare the Setup Wizard to run

Read the license terms If you agree, select to accept the agreement to install VMM server

If Microsoft Update has not been configured on the VMM server, the Setup Wizard will

recommend enabling it Microsoft Update offers security and important updates for both

Windows and VMM 2008 Make the appropriate selection and click Next

The next screen offers to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) This

program is used by Microsoft to help improve the quality, reliability, and performance of

Microsoft products and services; however, some anonymous data may be transmitted to

Microsoft Make the appropriate selection and click Next

Next, enter the product registration information Here you enter your username and

company Click Next

The Prerequisite Checker runs to check that the software required by VMM server is

installed on the server, as shown in Figure 9.3 If the server fails the Prerequisite Checker,

the Setup Wizard tells you what you need to fix it When it runs successfully, click Next

In the Installation Settings window, select the path where the VMM program files will be

installed The default path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine

Manager 2008 Change the path if necessary and click Next

The SQL Server Settings screen, shown in Figure 9.4, is where the administrator selects the

database to use The default selection is to install the VMM database on an existing SQL

Server 2005 computer If this option is chosen, the administrator must supply the

follow-ing information:

FIGURE 9.3 The Prerequisite Checker

SQL server name

Username and domain

Password

The Library Share Settings screen allows the administrator to specify the default share for

the VMM library This is the network share that holds resources available for creating VMs

The default library share name is MSSCVMMLibrary, and VMM will default to creating a

new library share on the VMM server in C:\ProgramData\Virtual Machine Manager

Library Files Change this path if necessary

The alternative setting is to use an existing library share The administrator may choose to

review the error and take appropriate action

After the VMM server component is installed, two new services are installed and started

The VMMService is the heart of the VMM server, and the VMM agent service provides

management services for VMM

Besides Windows PowerShell 1.0 and the Microsoft Windows Automated Installation Kit,

which are both prerequisites for VMM server, nothing is added to the Windows Start

menu To interact with the VMM server, the administrator must install the VMM

Administrator console

Installation of the Local Agent

The VMM local agent must be installed on every Microsoft Hyper-V and Virtual Server

host computer that will be managed by VMM 2008

VMM 2008 can “push” the local agent to hosts that are members of the same domain that

the VMM 2008 server belongs to using the VMM administrator console The administrator

must install the VMM local agent manually on workgroup servers in the perimeter

network (DMZ) to be managed by VMM 2008

To manually install the VMM local agent, insert the VMM 2008 media in the server to

manage Setup will run and display the menu for installation Click Local Agent under

default port of 80 for VMM server communication and 443 for file transfers, or change

them and click Next

The Security File Folder screen, shown in Figure 9.11, is used to configure a security file

that will allow the VMM server to communicate and manage a nondomain host server in

a perimeter network Select the check box for This Host Is in a Perimeter Network and

enter and confirm an encryption key A security file will be placed in the C:\Program

Files\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 folder that will be imported

into the managing VMM server Click Next

In the Host Network Name screen, select how the VMM server will contact the host You

can choose either hostname or IP address Enter the appropriate information and click Next

Finally, click Install to install the VMM local agent software A new VMM agent service

Understanding the VMM Administrator Console

The VMM Administrator console is the primary management interface for VMM 2008,

host server, and VM management It is an MMC application that runs on top of

Windows PowerShell The VMM command shell has more than 60 commandlets

(cmdlets) that are specific to VMM 2008

This section covers the basic functions of the Administrator console

Overview of the Administrator Console
