Citrix Management
Citrix XenServer
XenServer
Key Requirements
Must be XenServer 6.0 / 6.1
Citrix XenServer – Microsoft System Center Integration Pack
Citrix XenServer 6.x | Host Setup XenCenter still required for Host Configuration
VMM supports adding both standalone hosts & pools Pools would be pre-created in XenCenter
VMM can provide Host Power Control Restart, Shutdown & Power On (if OOB Capable Hardware)
VMM supports Maintenance Mode Host updates must be managed by XenCenter
Citrix XenServer 6.x | Host Storage VMM supports the management of XenServer 6.0 with: iSCSI Storage NFS Storage Fiber Channel Storage StorageLink-based Storage
Local or Shared Storage All storage must be configured through XenCenter
VMM supports the use of ISO’s from ISO Repositories Repository can be on NFS or CIFS but must be read/write
Citrix XenServer 6.x | Host Networking Hyper-V & XenServer Networking is very different…
With Hyper-V, VLAN tagging takes place closer to the vNIC
With XenServer, VLAN tagging takes place at physical pseudo NIC level
Therefore with XenServer, you end up with a separate switch for each VLAN
VMM wraps a single Virtual Switch around all of the XenServer switches on a single physical adapter
Citrix XenServer 6.x | Host Networking
Citrix XenServer 6.x | Import Process Create Run As Account Add Resources
XenServer Hosts & Clusters Specify Host Name(s) Click Add – Finish!
Properties - NICs
Citrix XenServer 6.x | VM Management Templates
VMM Templates are supported with XenServer VMM will not deploy XenServer Tools XenServer Templates are not used by VMM
Create VM in XenCenter and create a VMM Template from this
VMM Key Features VMM Service Templates deployed to XenServer Hosts/Pools Private Cloud Creation Intelligent Placement Dynamic Optimization, Power Optimization & PRO Live Migration (XenMotion)
VMware Management
VMware vSphere
Key Requirements
Must be vCenter Server 4.1/5.1
ESX/ESXi 4.1ESXi 5.1
vSphere
VMware vSphere – Key Considerations VMM isn’t intended to replace vCenter
Aimed at day to day operations of hosts & clusters Create/Manage/Store/Deploy VMs More advanced tasks performed in vCenter
Initial Networking Configuration – Port Groups, vDS etc. Fault Tolerance – VMM recognizes FT VMs, but won’t configure them.
Update Management still requires VUM
VMware vSphere | VM Management Templates
Supports creation of VMDK-based templates from Library Supports importing of templates from vCenter (No VMDK copy)
VMM Key Features VMM Service Templates deployed to vSphere Hosts/Clusters Private Cloud Creation Intelligent Placement Dynamic Optimization, Power Optimization & PRO Live Migration (vMotion) & Storage Migration (svMotion)

Microsoft | VMware ComparisonCross-Platform Infrastructure Management
Capability Microsoft VMware
Multi-Hypervisor Management Yes Limited1
Comprehensive Guest OS Support Yes Yes2
3rd Party Management Integration Yes Limited3
Multiple Application Frameworks Yes Yes4
1. vCloud Automation Center focuses on provisioning VMs to alternative hypervisors, whilst the Multi-Hypervisor Manager plug-in for vCenter offers only very basic capabilities
2. VMware do not produce any operating systems, and support is therefore focused not on the guest operating system itself, but instead, on the VM Tools and hardware.
3. vCenter Orchestrator has a limited number of 3rd party plug-ins and vCenter Operations Management Suite requires the purchase of 3rd Party adaptors to integrate.
4. Monitoring capabilities do extend to multiple frameworks but support for many frameworks is out of date - .NET 3.0 is the latest for instance. Also, the monitoring is not connected to any true DevOps capability, and lacks remediation guidance around detected issues.
