Adding the Microsoft VMM server to BMC Server Automation

The following sections provide instructions for adding the Microsoft Hyper-V System Center virtual machine manager (VMM) to BMC Server Automation:

Before you begin

Ensure that your environment meets the following requirements.

To use BMC Server Automation in a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual environment, you must have the following minimum hardware and software:

The BMC Server Automation Application Server must be allowed access to the target through the RSCD agent on the VMM server.

The following are the pre-requisites for SCVMM 2012 SP1 support for Hyper-V Custom Object:

SCVMM version should be SCVMM 2012 SP1
Host should be Windows Server 2012
To enable BMC Server Automation to execute Powershell commands on the SCVMM setup, set the Execution Policy. On SCVMM Setup, open a Powershell command prompt, and run the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Ensure that Windows templates and Linux templates are created as described in Creating Virtual Machine Templates on SCVMM in the BMC Server Automation online technical documentation.
Create at least one VM network, to which the VMs can connect. BMC Server Automation supports VM Network of type noIsolation only.
Apply a workaround in Windows 2012 server to point to .NET 4.0 version. This workaround is necessary because the Windows Server 2012 environment runs with .NET 2.0 version, while SCVMM 2012 SP1 DLLs are built with a newer .NET framework 4.0. The workaround is as follows:
1. Create powershell.exe.config with the following:
```
<?xml version="1.0"?><configuration>
  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
  <supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319"/>
  <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
  </startup>
</configuration>
```
2. Copy the file into powershell root directory: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
3. Run following from the command line:
```
reg add hklm\software\microsoft\.netframework /v OnlyUseLatestCLR /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add hklm\software\wow6432node\microsoft\.netframework /v OnlyUseLatestCLR /t REG_DWORD /d 1
```

To add the Microsoft VMM server to BMC Server Automation, complete the following steps:
