Demo Exploring SCVMM 2012 Administration Console

SCVMM 2012 Fabric Management

Physical Server – Manage Multiple Hypervisors – – – Server Hardware Management Host Provisioning Network Define Logical Networks – – Address Management – Automated Provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider Storage Storage Management – – Discover Storage Arrays and Pools Classify Storage – – Discover or Configure LUNs Rapid Provisioning of VMs Using Snap Cloning of LUNs

SCVMM 2012 Fabric Management

Update Management of Fabric Servers – Update operation control – – Integrated with Windows Server Update Server Dynamic Optimization (DO) – Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated Cluster level workload balancing scheme – Leverages live migration Power Optimization (PO) – Leverages live migration – Powers down servers Enhanced Placement – – – Over 100 placement checks/validation Support for custom placement rules Multi-VM deployment for Services

Demo Configuring the Fabric

Libraries and Templates: Libraries

Cloud Libraries Library Servers – Application Frameworks – VHDs – Stores Virtual Machines

Libraries and Templates: Profiles

Application Profiles Capability Profiles Guest OS Profiles Hardware Profiles Host Profiles SQL Server Profiles

Libraries and Templates: Templates

VM Templates Service Templates – Used to model a multi-tier application – – Source of truth for deployed service configuration Template Servicing Change the template and then apply that change to deployed instances – Upgrade domains ensures application availability during servicing

Private Cloud: Overview

Private Cloud Fabric Components – Compute – Storage – Network Delegation – User Roles • Quotas

Private Cloud: Self-Service User Roles VMM Admin Delegated Admin Read-only Admin

Self-Service User

Demo Exploring Clouds and Self-Service Users

Private Cloud Usage Scenario

Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage) Create a cloud from the fabric Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud
