Ex. The "All Management Servers Pool"VirtualizationAll Operations Manager server roles can be virtualized with Hyper-V as long as the virtual machines are configured with the recommended hardware.Click the following link for the latest Operations Manager Deployment Guide:http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=213291
