VMM | My tip’s
• Dedicate time to DESIGN your solution. The better time you spent in design the better the implementation will be.
• Use the right number of NIC’s. I do recommend the use of converged networks
• Check the Network Configuration and create standard names across ALL Hosts.
VMM | Transform Your Data Center into a Private Cloud
STORAGE
Discover, classify, and allocate storage for use by the private cloud. Provide the correct storage for use with appropriate access.
COMPUTE
Deploy your compute resources, taking them from bare metal to fully deployed for your physical and virtualization hosts.
NETWORK
Abstract your complex networking infrastructure into logical networks for cloud use. Assign IP, virtual IP, and MAC addresses from pools and integrate with load balancers.
CLUSTER
Consolidate your fabric elements for use in a private cloud.

VMM | Managing Multiple Hypervisors
VMM | Xenservers : What is not supported?• VMM does not support the host-to-host migration of
stopped virtual machines (LAN migration) between XenServer and other hosts
• Update management through VMM is not supported for XenServer hosts. You must use your existing solution to update XenServer hosts
• The conversion of a bare-metal computer to a virtual machine host, and cluster creation through VMM is not supported with XenServer
VMM | My tipsAdding Host / Troubleshooting
• Ping / DNS
• Verify Supplement Pack• winrm enum http://schemas.citrix.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/Xen_HostComputerSystem -r:https://<HOSTNAME>:5989 -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic -u:<ROOT USER> -p:<PASSWORD> -skipcacheck –skipcncheck
VMM | Supported VMware
• vCenter 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 (VMM 2012 SP1)• ESX 4.1• ESXi 4.1, 5.0, 5.1
VMM | Vmware : What is not supported?• Update management through VMM is not supported
for ESX hosts. You must use your existing solution to update VMware ESX hosts
• The conversion of a bare-metal computer to a virtual machine host, and cluster creation through VMM is not supported for ESX hosts
• The Dynamic Memory feature is not supported on ESX hosts. Dynamic Memory is only supported on Hyper-V hosts that are running an operating system that supports Dynamic Memory
VMM | Utilize Storage More Effectively
END-TO-END MAPPING
Create associations between storage and VM through reconciling data from Hyper-V and storage arrays
Identify storage consumed by VM, host, and cluster
CAPACITY MANAGEMENT
RAPID PROVISIONING
Add storage to a host or cluster through masking operations, initialization, partitioning, formatting, and CSV cluster resource creation
Add storage capacity during new cluster creation
Create new VMs leveraging the SAN to copy the VHD
Utilize SMI-S copy services and replication profiles
Deploy to host or cluster at scale
High-performance storage on industry-standard hardware.
Less expensive, enterprise-class storage solution
Continuous application availability and robust recovery.
Guaranteed high levels of Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Comprehensive storage management and backup.
Efficient management of storage resources
Storage spaces for inbox storage virtualization with automatic tiering
RDMA hardware offloading significantly improving scale for SMB traffic
SMB transparent failover for < 25ms failover time

VMM | High-performance live migration
Accelerate live migration performance with compression or RDMA-capable network adapters
For <10GBit network connectivity, live migration compression delivers superior performance – 2x acceleration for most workloads
For >10GBit networks, Remote direct memory access (RDMA) offload delivers the highest performance with low CPU utilization and transfer speeds of up to 56Gb/s
Windows Server 2012 R2 supports RoCE, iWARP and Infiniband RDMA solutions

Operations Manager | Where is the issue?
Application performance monitoring pinpoints exactly where the issue is, reducing the mean time to resolution
Server-side monitoring shows the application is functioning
“My application is running slowly!”
“The code passed all testing.”
“The network looks good.”
“The servers are running fine.”
Client-side, however, shows there is a problem..
