Mastering Virtual Machine Creation and Management with VMM

This module delves into the essentials of creating and managing Virtual Machines (VMs) using Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Learn how to create VMs through various methods, including PowerShell scripts, and understand the significance of VM checkpoints for data protection. Explore cloning and converting VMs, which allow for rapid deployments and transformations between different virtualization platforms. Gain insights into intelligent placement of VMs based on host performance and capacity to optimize resource utilization.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Module 10 Creating and Managing VMs with VMM

  2. Module Overview • Creating Virtual Machines • Cloning & Converting Virtual Machines

  3. Lesson 1: Creating VMs • Create a VM • Create a VM with PowerShell

  4. What Is a Virtual Machine Checkpoint? • A non-checkpointed .vhd/.vhdx • Checkpoint creates .avhd/.avhdx file • All subsequent changes are written to the .avhd/.avhdx file • When reverted, the and .avhd/.avhdx file is deleted Checkpoint .vhd .avhd Checkpoint .vhd .avhd

  5. Lesson 2: Cloning and Converting Virtual Machines • What Is Virtual Machine Cloning? Considerations for Virtual Machine Cloning Converting a Virtual Machine

  6. Creating Virtual Machines in VMM • Use the Create Virtual Machine Wizard • Can use existing resources such as virtual machines, templates, .vhds • Create a brand new virtual machine • Configure Hardware page provides many options • Intelligent placement on host

  7. Configuring Virtual Machine Placement in VMM • Virtual Machine Manager evaluates a host’s capacity and performance • Automatically places a virtual machine on the most suitable host • Makes star rating recommendations through intelligent placement

  8. What Is Virtual Machine Cloning? • Rapid way to deploy a virtual machine • Makes copy of the .vhd/.vhdx, configuration files, and memory contents • Original can be online if using System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager • Cloned virtual machine is an exact copy with the same identity Virtual Machine 1 Virtual Machine 1

  9. Considerations for Virtual Machine Cloning • The cloned virtual machine has the same name and domain SID of the original virtual machine • After cloning, run Sysprep, or manually change to unique settings and values • Ensure sufficient disk space exists on host

  10. Converting a Virtual Machine • Convert Citrix XenServer virtual machines to Hyper-V via a P2V conversion • Virtual-to-virtual machine conversion supports converting: • In System Center 2012 VMM • ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 5 • ESX/ESXi 4.0 • ESX/ESXi 4.1 • ESXi 5.1 • In System Center 2012 SP1 VMM and System Center 2012 R2 VMM • ESX/ESXi 4.1 • ESXi 5.1
