Onboarding Microsoft Hyper-V resources
This topic explains how to onboard Microsoft Hyper-V resources into BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. It includes the following sections:
Before you begin
Review the following topics:
To onboard the Hyper-V System Center VMM server
To onboard the Hyper-V virutal machine manager (VMM) server, complete the following steps:
- From the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administration Console, click the vertical Workspaces menu on the left side of the window and select Resources.
- Under Quick Links on the left, click Resources under the Compute section.
- Click the Onboard Resource icon .
- In the Onboard Resource dialog box, select the pod.
- Select the Virtual Cluster resource type.
For Hyper-V, if there are n number of standalone hosts enrolled in the VMM, BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management creates n dummy clusters with the same names as the host names; those clusters will be available for onboard.
- Under Provider Name, select BBSA.
- From Available Resources, select the Hyper-V resource that you want to onboard.
- Click Onboard.
To create the compute resource pools
- From the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administration Console, click the vertical Workspaces menu on the left side of the window and select Resources.
- Under Quick Links on the left, click Compute Pools under the Compute section.
The list of current compute resource pools is displayed. - Click the Create Compute Pool icon.
- In the Create Compute Pool dialog, type a name for this pool.
- Type a useful description.
- From the Pod menu, select the network pod to which this pool will belong.
- From the Resource Type menu, select the type of resources that this pool will contain.
For example, select Virtual Host or Virtual Disk Repository if you are creating a datastore.The Virtual Clusters type is not supported for Hyper-V as clusters cannot be used as targets to provision a VM. Only hosts can be used as targets.
- From the Provider Type menu, select BBSA.
- From the Vendor menu, select Microsoft.
- From the Hardware Architecture menu, select X86_64.
