SCVMM This!
Why Virtualize• Four components make virtualization very
compelling. *(to me)
• Live Migration– If you need to switch physical machines you can.
• Snapshots / Reverts– Oops, that upgrade didn’t work. Let’s undo it.
• Self Service VM creation– Because waiting is bad
• Machine Cloning
Using Just Hyper-V You Can Do This• Setting up on a local machine.
Windows Server 2008 R2

test

PowerShell Support! • Take a look at last week’s blogs from
The Scripting Guys at Microsoft: • http://
blogs.technet.com/heyscriptingguy/archive/2010/03/29/hey-scripting-guy-march-29-2010.aspx
• Virtual Machine Manager Cmdlets and Windows PowerShell• Use VMM Cmdlets to Move Virtual Machines and Virtual
Machine Hosts?• How Can I Create Virtual Machines?• Notify a VMM Self-Service User That Their Virtual Machine Is
About to Expire?
Installing & Setting Up• Add the Hyper-V Server “Role”
• Add the Wireless Networking “Feature”
• External Networks for connecting out
• Internal Networks for containing the mayhem
What’s this Self-Service Business
• Microsoft’s System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) allows a central repository ‘library’ for administrators.
• It also allows authorized users to snapshot, revert, and even spin up new VMs.
SCVMM
• You can use SCVMM to P2V existing machines
• Migrate Storage
• Duplicate VMs
• You can also V2V from VMware to Hyper-V– (for example)
Support?
• Virtualization Team from Microsoft
• New PowerShell commands allow the ability to automate the recreation /revert /new-creation of not just single machines but entire groups of machines.
BooksExam guides for the old exam that are pretty good
Great Resources for doing this• This Book Rocks!
Certifications
• 70-652 The old one– MCTS
• 70-659 The New one. Lots of SCVMM– MCTS
• 70-693– MCITP
