New Management Pack: VMM 2008 Management Pack
Microsoft has just released the management pack where I was waiting for…
It can be downloaded @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d6d5cddd-4ec8-4e3c-8ab1-102ec99c257f&displaylang=en
Overview
The VMM 2008 Management Pack monitors virtual machines running on Hyper-V, Microsoft Virtual Server, and VMware ESX Server hosts that VMM is managing, as well as the managed virtual machine hosts, library servers, and other VMM components.
Feature Summary
This management pack is tightly integrated with VMM 2008 to implement the following features:
- Comprehensive health monitoring of virtual machines
- Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) in VMM
- VMM reports
- Diagram views available from the VMM Administrator Console
- Note: The Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.Pro.2008.Public class in the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 PRO Library management pack has been redefined as an abstract class.
Release History - 9/2008 - Original Release of this guide, version 2.0.3444.0, with VMM 2008 RTM Media
- 1/28/2009 - Updated version, version 2.0.3451.0, provides VMM reports for Virtual Machine Manager
Don’t forget to uninstall all management packs that came with the RTM version of SCVMM, those starting with “System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 PRO”
I already played a bit with it and it seems very nice, especially the reporting which I was waiting for, but I will need to wait for another 24 hour before I can see all my data…
To be continued
Cheers,
