Adding Hosts

Hosts must be added to the VMM server to manage them from the VMM Administrator

console This section describes how to add hosts, both domain members and perimeter

workgroup servers, to the VMM Administrator console

Open the VMM Administrator console using the shortcut on the Windows desktop or via

the Start menu under Microsoft System Center, Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Virtual

Machine Manager Administrator Console

A Connect to Server window may open, prompting for the VMM server to connect to

Enter the server name and connection port (the default is port 8100) using the format

VMMserver:port

NOTE

You may choose to always open a connection to this server by selecting the Make This

Server My Default check box Doing so prevents this connection window from displaying

when the Administrator console is run

Go to the Hosts view by clicking the Hosts button, then select All Hosts The hosts

managed by this VMM server will display in the Results pane Selecting any host in the

Results pane will display the details about that host in the Details pane

To add a new host, select Add Hosts from the Actions pane or click the Actions menu,

Virtual Machine Manager, Add Hosts The Add Hosts Wizard will run

In the Select Host Location screen, select one of the following options The option chosen

will alter the subsequent prompts in the Add Hosts Wizard

On the Configuration Settings screen, select the host group to add the host servers

to If any of the hosts are currently being managed by another VMM server, select

the Reassociate Agent with Virtual Machine Manager Server check box This will

reassociate the local agent on the host to be managed by this VMM server

On the Virtual Machine Paths screen, specify one or more default paths for storing

the VMs deployed on these hosts Here, you also can specify whether to enable

remote connections to these hosts and which port to use The default remote

connection port is 5900 Click Next to continue

Review the Summary screen and, if everything looks fine, click Add Hosts to add the

hosts to the VMM server and the administrator console

NOTE

The administrator can also click the View Script button to view, copy, or edit the VMM

command shell that performs the same task in a script that is done in the graphical

user interface

After the hosts have been added using the Add Hosts Wizard, the VMM server will

install the VMM local agent and the Hyper-V role on the hosts if it is not already

installed Then it will add the hosts to the Administrator console

Windows Perimeter Network Host—This option guides you through adding

perimeter hosts to the VMM Administrator console Click Next

NOTE

For a host that is on a perimeter network, you must install the VMM local agent

manu-ally on the host before you can add the host to VMM

On the Select a Host screen, enter the hostname or IP address, encryption key, and

security file path The encryption key was entered when the perimeter host

installed the VMM local agent The security key is located in the C:\Program

Files\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 folder on the

perime-ter host Copy it to the local compuperime-ter and use this path for the security file Add

the hosts and click Next

On the Configuration Settings screen, select the host group to add the host server(s)

to If any of the hosts are currently being managed by another VMM server, select

NOTE

You may choose to always open a connection to this server by selecting the “Make this

server my default” checkbox Doing so prevents this connection window from displaying

Right-click the host to manage and a choice of actions is presented The administrator can

move the host to a host group, refresh the host in the Details pane, remove the host from

the VMM server, or access the host properties

The Properties page allows the administrator to view or configure the host summary, host

status, VM status, hardware reserves (for example, CPU and RAM), hardware, networking,

VM placement path, remote connections, security settings, and more The details for each

Trang 6

Managing Host Clusters

Host clusters are Windows cluster or VMware ESX cluster hosts that provide high

availabil-ity and fault tolerance The actions for host clusters allow the administrator to move a

Hyper-V host cluster to a different host group, delete a host cluster from VMM, monitor

host clusters, and modify the host cluster properties

VMMserver:port

NOTE

Select the host cluster to manage in the Results pane The actions available for managing

the host cluster are listed in the Actions pane

When Failover Cluster Node Management is used in Windows Server 2008 to add a node

to a VMM-managed host cluster, the new node is discovered and added to the cluster It

will display in the Hosts view with a status of Pending Addition Select Add Pending Hosts

to add the host in VMM

VMM 2008 also detects when a node is removed from a VMM-managed host cluster using

Failover Cluster Node Management MMC VMM sets the Clustered property of the node

to False and begins managing the host as a regular, nonclustered host VMM marks the

node as Pending Removal Select Remove to remove the host from VMM

Configuring the VMM Library

The VMM library is a Windows share that hosts the resources used by VMM to create

VMs The library contains files contains files (VHDs, ISOs, and so on) The VMM database

stores hardware profiles, guest OS profiles, and templates

Select the appropriate host group or All Hosts to view all hosts

VMMserver:port

Trang 7

NOTE

Go to the Library view by clicking the Library button, and then select the Library Server in

the View pane The library contents will display in the Results pane

Additional VMM libraries can be added to the Administrator console by clicking the Add

Library Server action in the Actions pane A library can be removed by right-clicking the

library and selecting Remove

If Windows PowerShell scripts are stored in the VMM library, they can be viewed, edited,

and removed The administrator can run the scripts in Library view

Entire VMs can be stored in VMM library From here they can be cloned, deployed, and

removed VMware VMs stored in the library can be converted to a VMM virtual machine

The VMware VM’s configuration files must be stored in the library to convert them

NOTE

VMM libraries can be stored on Windows clusters to increase the availability and fault

tolerance of the library resources

Creating VMs

The administrator can use VMM 2008 to create VMs This is similar to creating VMs using

the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V management console, described in Chapter 6,

“Managing, Administering, and Maintaining a Hyper-V Host Server,” but includes many

more features and options This process is covered in detail in Chapter 11, “Using Virtual

Machine Manager 2008 for Provisioning.”

Deploying and Migrating VMs

One of the most impressive capabilities of VMM 2008 is deploying and migrating VMs

This process is covered in detail in Chapter 10, “Creating Guest Images from Existing

Production and Virtual Systems.”

Managing VMs

VMs managed by VMM 2008 can be fully managed within the VMM Administrator

console

Trang 8

NOTE

Go to the Virtual Machine view by clicking the Virtual Machine button, and then select

the host in the View pane The VMs hosted on that host will display in the Results pane

The administrator can start, pause, stop, save the state, shut down, or connect to any

managed VM Other actions include migrating the VM, creating and managing

check-points, repairing the VM, installing guest services, cloning the VM, storing it in a VMM

library, removing the VM, and configuring its properties

The details for each of these settings are beyond the scope of this chapter; suffice to say,

many more options are available to configure than are available in the standard Windows

Server 2008 Hyper-V management console

Monitoring and Reporting

VMM 2008 has advance monitoring and reporting capabilities VMM operates using jobs,

which can be managed Advanced reporting capabilities are achieved when using System

Center Operations Manager 2007 (SCOM 2007) and the Server Virtualization Management

Pack The reports generated by SCOM can be opened directly in the Reporting view of the

VMM Administrator console

Jobs can be managed from the Jobs view in the Administrator console In the Results

pane, the administrator can view all the jobs run by VMM Running jobs can be canceled

by right-clicking the job and selecting Cancel

If a job fails, it can usually be restarted by right-clicking the job and choosing Restart The

job will begin again where the operation failed

Administering and Managing Roles

The entire VM infrastructure can be administered from the VMM Administrator console or

by using the VMM command console VMM administration includes managing user roles,

managing agents on managed servers, adding non-Microsoft virtualization managers to

VMM, and configuring VMM settings

VMMserver:port

Trang 9

NOTE

Go to the Administration view by clicking the Administration button, and then select the

administrative operation in the View pane

The General settings allow the administrator to configure global settings in VMM, such as

CEIP settings, the database connection, library settings, placement settings, remote

control, and the self-service administrator email address

Managed Computers returns a list of the hosts managed by this VMM server, their status,

version, and role

Networking allows the administrator to configure a static range of MAC addresses VMM

should use when creating new virtual network devices

User Roles allows the administrator to manage user roles and create new user roles, such as

delegated administrator groups and self-service users Each of these roles can be scoped to

a particular set of VMs, libraries, and so on Self-service users can be permitted to perform

only certain actions, as configured by the VMM administrator

NOTE

The VMM Administrator role cannot be scoped or reduced in functionality

The System Center setting provides a way for the administrator to configure SCOM

report-ing and the SCOM connection to enable PRO functionality Physical Resource

Optimization (PRO) provides workload- and application-aware resource optimization for

Hyper-V host clusters

Virtualization Managers displays the name, status, version, managed hosts, and managed

VMs of non-Windows virtualization managers

Summary

Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager 2008 provides an easy installation process that installs

its own prerequisite software Only a few steps must be run on Windows Server 2008

computers before installing VMM 2008

opportunities to organizations It offers the fine degree of granularity needed in today’s

virtual environments

Best Practices

The following are best practices from this chapter:

Make sure the system that VMM 2008 will be installed on is connected to the

domain that hosts your Hyper-V host servers

Use a single-server deployment for VMM 2008 and SQL 2005 for a relatively simple

environment; split the roles for a large enterprise environment

Unless your server configuration requires configuration variations that differ from

the standard requirements for VMM 2008 (for example, PowerShell 1.0, NET

Framework 3.0), just let the installation script install the add-on components for you

Install VMM 2008 on a Windows 2008 or a Windows 2003 SP2 or later system

Choose the Make This Server My Default when launching VMM 2008 so that you

won’t have to be prompted again to select the VMM 2008 host server you are

working from

To provide better security and simplified access to only host servers running

Hyper-V, limit the scope of the search for virtual servers that can be administered by the

Hyper-V or the VMM 2008 consoles

Create other roles beyond the VMM administrator so that you can have a more

gran-ular set of roles for administration, because the VMM Administrator role cannot be

scoped or reduced in functionality
