Welcome back for Part 6 of this System Center VMM series, in this post I will talk to you about the Library server.
When setting up VMM you will get asked about adding a Library server if it’s a standalone setup, if it’s a Clustered VMM solution you will need to add the library server after you have finished installing VMM
Read moreWelcome back for Part 5 of this System Center VMM series, in this post I will write about Logical Switches.
If you do not know what a Logical Switch is, it’s basically the same as a Standard Switch created with New-VMswitch on a Windows Server OS. But it’s defined and create by VMM, so that you can manage it from VMM. You can also from VMM 2019 convert a Standard Switch to Logical Switch.
Read moreWelcome back for Part 4 of this System Center VMM series, in this post I will write about Port Profiles. You have 2 types of Port Profiles. Virtual and Uplink Port Profiles.
Read moreIn the previous blog post i talked about how you should define your host groups. Separate Datacenters, what type of “servers” they are, if they are Fabric Management, IaaS, SQL clusters and so on. Depending on your servers. Now let’s have a look at your Logical Networks
Read moreSo let’s talk about Host Groups, this is in my opinion one of the most important part of setting up VMM right. You wan’t to separate and segregate your hosts and virtual machines.

In this blog series I will try to explain to you how you should build your System Center Virtual Machine Manager environment.
Read moreSo i was at a client a week ago to add 2 nodes to an existing S2D cluster. This was setup by a colleague of mine with VMM and WDS for Bare Metal Deployment. And was working a few months ago.
Read moreIn the first Part of this 2 part i showed you how to configure and enable the replication to Azure Site Recovery Vault
In this part i will show you how to run a failover test on the virtual machine you replicated over.
Read moreOne of the neat things you can do with Virtual Machine Manager is configure it to replicate Virtual Machines to a Azure Recovery Services Vault. And you can use Azure Site Recovery to fail those Virtual Machines over to Azure if you need to.
Read more4 weeks ago i started my new job at CTGlobal here in Norway. Where i will be focusing on S2D, VMM, OMS, Azure Stack and other datacenter solutions. As we are deploying S2D with VMM we wanted to build an easy to use but robust way of configuring VMM and deploy the physical hosts for S2D and configure them all the way til we create the cluster and enable S2D. Deploying the host require BMC deep discovery of the host. It detects everything from disks, controller, network cards and so on. In my home lab i have Mellanox CX3 cards and are using them for host mgmt and SMB, so i am using a setSwitch with this. And configured this in the script.
