Application Virtualization

“…if my central console can manage both my Microsoft virtual machines and my VMware virtual machines with an interface that is familiar and easy for my Microsoft certified staff, that's a big plus.”

Brent Register, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Doing this on physical hardware takes a couple of hours; with virtual machines, it takes minutes,”

Robert McShinsky Senior Systems Administrator, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

“Now we can deploy both virtualized and installed applications using the same procedure,”

Arne Bertgen,IT administrator for Tuv Nord

Customer demand Provide an integrated view Standardize management processes and procedures across your virtual environments Leverage System Center family for complete management solution

Driven by customer environments Co-existence of virtualization platforms is a reality today As Hyper-V is adopted, customers will migrate workloads for cost-effective virtualization.


Why Manage VMware?

VMM is the “Manager of Managers.” SCVMM serves the needs of the day to day administrator VMM can manage multiple VirtualCenters

How SCVMM Manages VMware VMware Infrastructure Web Services APIs

Managing via Virtual Center API provides for cross ESX host operations. E.g. Vmotion File Operations

SFTP o File operations on ESX 3.0 and 3.5

HTTPSo File operations ESX 3i


SCVMM and VMware Integration

Create a dedicated account for SCVMM management Must have VirtualCenter admin privilege at Host &Clusters level

Account does not need to be a local admin on VirtualCenter


Add VMware VirtualCenter

VMM ServerVirtualCenterServer

OK (Limited) OK


ESX Host States in SCVMM

Operations OK (Limited) OKPower State (Start, Stop, Pause) Yes Yes

VM Configuration (Properties, Remove) Yes Yes

VMotion Yes Yes

Checkpoint (New, Manage) Yes Yes

Migrate (intra VC, to Library) Yes

Clone (intra VC, intra host) Yes

Saved State (Save, Discard) Yes

Convert (V2V) Yes

New VM (from VMM template, new virtual disk) Yes

Before you configure security in VMM you must take some action on VC or ESX host. VMware ESX Host Credentials

SFTP Operations Determine ESX Host Credentials

Root Requires SSH Root Login Enablement on each ESX Host

Virtual Machine Delegate Requires Host Reboot


Enabling Full VMware Management

Move From OK (Limited) to OK

ESX Host

Unified management experience Hyper-V and VMware

Full virtual machine management VMotion, Resource Pools, VMware Templates Network Diagram view and VMware HA VM Support

Enhancing capabilities on VMware VI3 PRO Intelligent placement Library Integrated conversion tools PowerShell automation


ManageVMware and Add Value

Workload centric VM creation Intelligent Placement identifies the ideal host based on workload requirements Leverages VMM's capacity planning models

VMotion guided by intelligent placement


Intelligent Placement for VMware

Store VMware Templates in VMM library SCVMM imports templates using a “move.”


VMware Template Support

Physical to Virtual (P2V) and Virtual to Virtual (V2V) integrated in VMM Use the P2V wizard to convert the running guest operating system inside the VMware VM

to a Hyper-V VM Use the V2V wizard to convert a VM that is on an ESX host to a Hyper-V VM Put the VMware VM in the library and use the V2V wizard to convert it to a Hyper-V VM

VMware VMs can be placed in the library by copying the VMDK and VMX files into the library share and refreshing it from the Administrator Console


Integrated Conversion Tools

Single pane of glass network view


Network Diagram View

VMware vSphere™ 4 Support

Support Same Functionality as VMware VI 3New Port Groups

VMM creates new port groups for every VLAN that exists on a vSwitch when creating virtual machinesIn VMM 2008 R2 we support selecting existing port groups

VMM connections on vCenter Server

1 connection per ESX host up to 35
