Command-line shell and scripting language
>130 standard command-line tools
Consistent scripting syntax and utilities that integrate with established tools and procedures
All functions of the VMM Admin Console are based on PowerShell scripts
PowerShell - Command Line Interface
PS C:\> Get-VMMServer Server1
PS C:\> Get-help Get-VM –Examples
EXAMPLE 1: Get all virtual machines and display complete information about each one.
C:\PS> Get-VM -VMMServer VMMServer1.Contoso.com
Gets all objects that represent virtual machines. This command retrieves virtual machine objects from the Virtual Machine Manager database on VMMServer1, which is located in the Contoso.com domain, and displays information about these virtual machines to the user.

VMM Technologies: P2V Overview
P2V is a core feature of Virtual Machine Manager, no additional costs per conversion
VMM P2V includes the ability to create images of physical hard disks, prepare them for use in a virtual machine, and create the final virtual machine for an end-to-end P2V solution
Support for Windows® 2000 Server, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2003 R2
No additional infrastructure is required; no need for PXE or ADS as in VSMT
Simple wizard integrated in the main VMM user interface is used to perform the conversions
P2V process is also completely scriptable via Windows PowerShell and can be done in stages (imaging, fix-up, virtual machine creation)
VMM Technologies: P2V Drilldown
Wizard based within the Administrator Console
Windows XP and Server 2003 supports Live migration
Windows 2000 Server supports Offline migration
“Smart" disk copy
Only occupied space on the source volume gets copied to the resulting VHD
Source volume selection
Support of Dynamic & Fixed resulting VHD
Configurable size of the resulting VHDs
We allow expanding the VHD
Configuration of bus assignments (IDE\SCSI and LUNS)
NIC migration with the preservation of network settings and MAC address from the source machine
Conversions – V2V and P2V syntax
Works from both Admin UI and PowerShell
Convert (Offline) either a VMWare disk or the whole VM to the analogous VS vhd\vm representation
Fix up (making OS bootable) for Win2K, Win2K3 Oses
Support of four “vmdk” types (flat\sparse – full\2gb split)

VMM Technologies: Reports
The following reports are available in VMM with System Center Operations Manager 2007 integration:
Virtualization Candidates—Helps identify physical computers that are good candidates for conversion to virtual machines. The Virtualization Candidates report displays average values for a set of commonly requested performance counters for CPU, memory, and disk usage, along with hardware configuration, including processor speed, number of processors, and total RAM. You can limit the report to computers that meet specified CPU and RAM requirements, and you can sort the results by selected columns in the report.
Virtual Machine Allocation—Provides information you can use to calculate chargebacks to cost centers for virtual machines.
Virtual Machine Utilization—Provides information about your virtual machines. For the identified time, this report shows average usage and total or maximums for virtual machine processors, memory, and disk space.
Host Utilization—Shows the number of virtual machines running per host. For the identified time and host group, this report shows average usage and total or maximums for host processors, memory, and disk space.
Host Utilization Growth—Shows the percentage growth of host resources and number of virtual machines running for the identified time period.

Brocade’s Application Resource Manager (ARM) simplifies SAN configuration and management unleashing the power of VMM by significantly reducing the complexity of managing physical fibre channel resources – storage arrays, HBAs and fibre channel fabric devices, giving customers unparalleled levels of scalability, manageability and mobility for virtual machine environments.
QLogic and Microsoft are working together to enable N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) technology within VMM, giving storage administrators the ability to maximize server utilization, enhance security, and simplify virtual server management.
VMPilot in conjunction with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 enables rapid deployment and migration of Virtual Machines (VMs) with SAN-attached storage. Virtualized HBAs can be uniquely zoned in the fabric to isolate each VM and its storage, and can be migrated without reconfiguring storage or copying files.

System Center Virtual Machine Manager Road Map
The next version of VMM, tentatively title SystemCenter Virtual Machine Manager R2, will be available in the second half of 2008
R2 will feature a series of new features and improvements to the VMM program
We are developing features that will allow customers to use VMM to manage not only Windows-based virtual machines, but also VMware- and Xen-based virtual machines.
Using VMM R2, administrators can also manage VMware-based virtual machines so they can truly have a common management platform for physical and virtual assets, from the desktop to the datacenter, across multiple virtualization platforms.

Windows Server Virtualization
Windows Server virtualization (WSV) is highly scalable, enterprise class, 64-bit hypervisor based virtualization and a Server Role of Windows Server 2008 x64 Editions. WSV is designed to take advantage of advancements in hardware such as Intel VT and AMD AMD-V support.
Windows Server virtualization can run as a role of a full installation of Windows Server 2008 or take advantage of the new Windows Server Core (recommended) installation option which provides a minimal installation option with a reduced footprint.

Monolithic hypervisor• Simpler than a modern kernel,
but still complex
• Contains its own drivers model
Microkernelized hypervisor• Simple partitioning functionality
• Increase reliability and minimize TCB
• No third-party code
• Drivers run within guests
