Vu Nguyen Cao SonEPG Technical Specialisti-sonvu@microsoft.com
“Virtualization without good management is more dangerous than not usingvirtualization in the first place.”
– TOM BITTMAN, GARTNER VP AND ANALYST, 9 MAY, 2007
{ }Virtualization Will Drive Major Change in IT Infrastructure and Operations in the Next Three Years, Tom Bittman, May 8, 2007
Virtualization
Maximize ResourcesCentralized virtual machine deployment and management for Hyper-V, Virtual Server, and VMware ESX serversIntelligent placement of Virtual MachinesFast and reliable P2V and V2V conversionComprehensive application and service-level monitoring with Operations ManagerIntegrated Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) of VMs
Increase AgilityRapid provisioning of new and virtual machines with templatesCentralized library of infrastructure componentsLeverage and extend existing storage infrastructure and clustersAllow for delegated management and access of VMs
Leverage SkillsFamiliar interface, common foundation Monitor physical and virtual machines from one console Fully scriptable using Windows PowerShell
A centralized, heterogeneous management solution for the virtual datacenter

VMM 2008 Architecture
Host ConfigurationWizard based experience for adding hosts
Remote installation and configuration of virtualization software and management interfacesRemotely enable the Hyper-V role
Easy management of Hyper-V host clustersAdd entire Hyper-V host cluster in a single stepAutomatic detection of node additions/removals
Management of Windows Server 2008 Failover clusters for Hyper-V
Specify number of node failures you want to sustain but still have all your HA VMs runningIntelligent Placement ensures that new HA VM creation will not overcommit the clusterNode failures automatically trigger overcommit re-calculation
Conversions: P2V and V2V
Intuitive and easy to use tools provide:Core feature of VMM, no additional infrastructure or costs per conversion Wizard based experienceReconfigure storage, memory, CPU, etc.Efficient disk copy Preserves network settings and MAC addressesAutomatable through PowerShell
Supported platforms:Live - Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008Offline - Windows 2000 ServerSMP and x64 sources
Delegation and Self Service
Administrators control access through policies which designate capabilitiesDelegated Administrators
Manage a scoped environmentSelf service user
Web user interface Manage their own VMsQuota to limit VMsScripting through PowerShell
Library
Repository for all VM building blocksVHDsOffline VMsISOsSysprep Answer FilesPowerShell Scripts with Run optionTemplates
Use centralized or distributed Windows files servers as libraries
Move/copy/delete/modify files directly in the file systemVMM tracks changes and provides physical and logical viewVMM stamps objects with a ID to uniquely track the object
VMM Scripting Through PowerShell
Microsoft’s command shell for scripting and developmentConsistent scripting syntax
Encapsulate platform differencesVMM PowerShell Snap-in
170+ command-line functionsFoundation for VMM administrator’s console and Self Service PortalAll PowerShell operations are logged and audited
Monitoring and ReportingDiscovery of Hosts, Virtual Machines and Virtual Machine Manager componentsPerformance and Health Monitoring, Reports, etc.Application awarenessPerformance and resource calibration and optimization
Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO)
Workload and application aware resource optimizationExtensible through the Operations Manager 2007 MP framework Create policies that VMM acts upon tips automatically or manuallyMinimize downtime and accelerating time to resolution. Enables partners to deliver value add to our mutual customers
