PRO provides workload-aware and application-aware resource optimization within host clusters. VMM and SCOM manage the host clusters. The VMM Administrator Console provides you with access to PRO tips that you can implement for optimizing data centers. The PRO tips allow you to automatically implement actions such as virtual machine migration or virtual machine right-sizing, based on policies implemented through SCOM. The automatic implementation of PRO tips allows VMM to transfer the virtual machines between the hosts in a cluster.
The following are the infrastructure requirements for implementing PRO tips:
- SCOM 2007 with SC VMM 2008 Management Packs
- Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V host cluster with Host Pro enabled for the cluster
