    Study Notes

    Virtual System Administration - IN4023

    Chapter 6: Working with Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)

    • Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2016 (VMM) is a tool for centralized virtual machine and virtualization resource management.
    • Administrators use VMM to manage Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX, and Citrix XenServer virtual servers.
    • VMM allows for managing virtualization resources for multiple servers and creating hardware/software profiles for templates to generate virtual machines quickly.
    • VMM has three major components: VMM Management Server, VMM Console, and VMM Local Agent.

    VMM Management Server

    • Controls the core functions of VMM.
    • Includes the VMM service, which facilitates communication between VMM components and host computers; manages file transfers, issues commands, monitors server status, and moves virtual machines.
    • The database server uses a SQL Server database to store VMM settings; Express editions are not supported.
    • The library server (default) uses standard Windows network shares (library shares) to store resources for creating VMs, including virtual hard disks, floppy disks, ISO image files, VM templates, hardware, and guest OS profiles.

    VMM Console

    • Used for administrative tasks like managing, creating, deploying VMs, managing hosts and library servers, and configuring settings.
    • Multiple consoles can be installed on different computers, but only one can manage a VMM server at a time.

    VMM Local Agent

    • Every host managed by VMM needs a VMM Local Agent installed to communicate with VMM.
    • Installation is automatic when a host joins the Active Directory domain, or it can be done manually.
    • The agent can run on Windows 8 or newer OS or a computer with Hyper-V or VMware ESX Server.

    Software and Hardware Requirements

    • Essential software and services must be installed before running VMM.
    • Windows Server 2016 (64-bit Standard or Datacenter Edition) is required.
    • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.6 are necessary.
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or 2014 (database server) is needed. Download separately; Express editions are not compatible.
    • The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 10 is needed for certain actions. Download separately.

    Hardware Requirements (Specific minimum/recommended values)

    • Server: 8 Cores (2.0 GHz) min, 16 Cores (2.66 GHz) rec; 4 GB (RAM minimum), 16 GB (RAM recommended); 10 GB hard drive (minimum), 4 GB hard drive space minimum, 10 GB hard drive space recommended and 200 GB space recommended.
    • Console: 2 Cores (1.0 GHz) minimum, 2 Cores (2 GHz) recommended; 4 GB (RAM minimum), 4 GB (RAM recommended); 10 GB hard drive space minimum, 10 GB space recommended.
    • Database server: 8 Cores (2.8 GHz) min, 16 Cores (2.66 GHz) rec; 8 GB (RAM minimum), 16 GB (RAM recommended); 2 GB hard drive space (minimum), 50 GB space recommended; 200 GB storage space recommended.
    • Library server: 4 Cores (2.8 GHz) minimum, 4 Cores (2.66 GHz) recommended; 2 GB RAM minimum, 4 GB RAM recommended; Space varies based on stored files.

    Installing the Active Directory Role

    • Detailed steps (outlined in the slides, and involves logging in, launching server manager, and adding AD Roles/Features).

    Installing SQL Server 2014

    • Detailed steps, covering prerequisites, checking if Microsoft .NET FrameWork 3.5 is installed, adding roles/features, selecting installation type, and confirming the .Net Framework 3.5 Feature box.
    • Installing SQL Server 2014 via ISO (steps include double-clicking the installer, specifying the ISO path, and accepting license terms).

    Installing VMM

    • Detailed steps for downloading and configuring VMM.

    Creating the VMM Service Account

    • Detailing how to create an account specifically for VMM service.

    Working with the VMM Console

    • How to start the VMM console, its available workspaces: VMs/Services, Fabric, and Libraries.
    • How to add a host to the VMM console. Including a detailed explanation, using credentials, active directory, and the discovery scope window.

    Interacting with a Virtual Machine

    • Detailed steps for interacting with virtual Machines, creating/cloning VMs, creating templates, powering on/off/rest /resetting, saving states, and discarding states.
    • Managing and interacting with virtual machine (VM) checkpoints, including creating, restoring, and deleting them.
    • The command for migrating a virtual machine between hosts and storage locations.

    Installing Virtual Guest Services

    • Steps to mount the ISO image containing Virtual Guest Services on the virtual machine.
    • The steps to manage virtual machine protection, syncing virtual machines, and using them as failover.
