  1. SIM361 Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012: Server Fabric Lifecycle, Part 2 - OSD, OOB and Agent Management Carmen Summers Senior Program Manager Microsoft Corporation

  2. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 Fabric Services Cloud Deployment • Fabric • Management • Hyper-V Bare Metal Provisioning • Update Management • Hyper-V, • VMware, Citrix XenServer • Dynamic Optimization • Network Management • Power Management • Storage Management • Monitoring Integration

  3. Session Objectives • Understanding of: • VMM 2012 investments in fabric management for VM Hosts • XenServer, VMware and Hyper-V • How VMM 2012 fabric management decreases the cost of maintenance and operations through automation

  4. Host management in VMM 2008 R2 • VMM focus is on “VM Host Management” • Adding VM Hosts into VMM • Managing VM Host properties • Monitoring Host agent states

  5. Multiple Hypervisor Support

  6. Virtual Machine Manager 2012: Architecture Console Self Service Web Portal • Operations Manager • Management Server Windows PowerShell SCVMM Connector • Virtual Machine Manager • Management Server Management Interfaces Windows Deployment Services Server (WDS) VMM Library Server Virtualization Abstraction Layer Windows Software Update Services Server (WSUS) VMware vCenter Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters Citrix XenServer Hosts and Clusters VMware ESX Hosts and Clusters VMware ESX Hosts and Clusters Storage / Networking

  7. ESX Management

  8. ESX ManagementvCenter 4.1 Integration • vCenter datacenter tree structure not imported • Add host and clusters into any host group • Support for using less privileged accounts in vCenter vCenter SCVMM 2008 R2 SCVMM vNext

  9. ESX Management - Networking • vSwitch types supported • Standard, distributed vSwitch • Port group types discovered and used • Standard, distributed port group

  10. ESX Management – VMware Templates • Template in Library • Discover and use VMDK in Library for template creation • Template Import • Import of vCenter template object meta data into VMM Library • Does not copy VMDK to VMM library • Does not remove template in vCenter • New VM workflow uses vCenter to copy VMDK (faster deployment)

  11. VMware Management - VM Management • Thinly provisioned virtual disk in template and VM • Fault Tolerance • Discover and use primary VM • Migration to Library disabled • No support for creating FT VMs • Updating VM hardware properties to match platform

  12. ESX Management - VM Migration • Supported VMware transfer types • Live Migration • Live Storage Migration • Supported VMM transfer types • Network migration to/from Library • Note: Thin provision disks become THICK • Network migration between hosts • Supported copy mechanisms • VMware native HTTPS • No support for SFTP (no need to enable root SSH) • Still requires root credential

  13. Citrix XenServer Management

  14. Benefits of XenServer support in VMM • Management of all hypervisors in your datacenters • More choice for Linux guests in addition to what Hyper-V supports • VMM features get applied to XenServer

  15. XenServer Management • VMM has no dependency on Citrix XenCenter Install Citrix XenCenter SCVMM 2012 Libraries SCVMM 2012 Server Citrix XenServer(s) Hyper-V Integration Pack Storage Repositories

  16. XenServer ManagementHost Management • Host configuration takes place outside of VMM • Standalone & Pooled hosts • Power Control • Shutdown and Power On (if OOB capable hardware), Restart • Maintenance Mode

  17. XenServer ManagementHost Storage • Support all virtual disk storage repositories • iSCSI, NFS, HBA, StorageLink • Shared and Local • All storage must be added to XenServer outside of VMM • ISO repositories • NFS or CIFS • ISO Repository must be Read-Write • Only support attaching ISOs from the VMM library

  18. XenServer ManagementHost Networking • Differences between Hyper-V and XenServer Virtual Switches • VLAN tagging takes place at physical pseudo NIC level • Separate switch for each VLAN • VMM wraps a single Virtual Switch around all of the XenServer switches on a single physical adapter

  19. XenServer ManagementVM Management • PV & HVM VMs are supported • Windows will only run on HVM VMs • VMM will only create HVM VMs from scratch • Standard VM settings available • Use VHDs • No Floppy, No COM ports • Actions • Start, Stop, Save state, Pause, Shut down • Checkpoints • Takes advantage of new checkpoint enhancements in XenServer • Guest console access • Intelligent Placement & Dynamic Optimization • Dynamic Memory is not supported

  20. XenServer demo

  21. XenServer ManagementVM Templates • VMM Templates are supported with XenServer • Generalization/Customization for Windows VMs only • Citrix Tools for VMs must be installed manually • XenServer Templates • Not used by VMM • To import into VMM • Use XenCenter to create a VM • Create VMM Template from this VM • PV properties are retained

  22. Hyper-VManagment

  23. VM Host Lifecycle

  24. VM Host LifecycleKey Investments for VMM 2012

  25. Out-of-band (OOB) Management • Discovery & basic hardware inventory • SMBIOS GUID • Basic asset properties (Mfg / Model / AssetTag / SerialNo, etc.) • Manage power states – query, power on, power off • Collection of system hardware logs • Enabler of scenarios • Bare Metal Deployment • Dynamic Optimization and Power Optimization

  26. Out-of-band Management Interfaces Standards Based - in box • SMASH via WS-MAN (not CLP) • Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware • IPMI / DCMI • Intelligent Platform Management Interface • Data Center Management Interface Extensible • Configuration Provider Interface

  27. Bare Metal DeploymentGoal Discover bare metal machines and bring them to a fully provisioned state with Hyper-Venabled

  28. 1. OOB Reboot 5. Run GCEs & Configure partitions 3. Authorize PXE Boot 2. Boot from PXE 8. Customize & Domain Join 4. Download WINPE contoso 6. Download VHD 9. Enable Hyper-V 7. Inject Drivers Library server WDS server Bare Metal Server VMM Server Hyper-V Server Host profile VHD Drivers

  29. Bare Metal Deployment of Hyper-VPXE Server • Windows Deployment Server (WDS) on Windows Server 2008 R2 • Installs VMM OSD provider and agent • Coexists with other providers • Responds to VMM initiated PXE requests • Deploys WinPE

  30. Bare Metal Deployment of Hyper-VHost profile

  31. Bare Metal Deployment of Hyper-VAdd resource wizard

  32. OS Deployment demo

  33. In Review: Session Objectives and Takeaways • Understanding of: • VMM 2012 investments in fabric management for VM Hosts • XenServer, VMware and Hyper-V • How VMM 2012 fabric management decreases the cost of maintenance and operations
