Configuring the Hyper-V Server 2012 adapter

You configure an adapter in BMC Atrium Orchestrator Grid Manager. The configuration provides information about how the adapter interacts with the Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2. Although each adapter must have a unique name, you can create multiple adapters with the same adapter type to allow for different configuration properties. 

The Hyper-V Server actor adapter supports empty, single, and multiple configurations.

To configure the actor adapter

1. Log on to Grid Manager.
2. Access the adapters page by clicking the Manage tab and then clicking the Adapters tab.
3. In the Adapters in Repository list, select the bmc-adapter-ms-hyperv-server-v2012-actor check box.
4. Click Add to Grid to include the adapter in the Adapters on Grid list.
5. Click Configure corresponding to the newly added adapter.
6. On the Add an Adapter Configuration page, perform the following substeps to configure the adapter by using the form view, or jump to step 7 to configure the adapter by using the XML view:
   1. Enter a name for the adapter.
   2. Enter a description for the adapter.
   3. Under Properties, enter or select values for the configuration elements.
      The configuration elements for each adapter are described in that adapter's section. Include all required elements indicated with an asterisk (*).
   4. Click OK.
      The newly configured adapter is now listed in the Adapters on Grid list.
7. (Optional) Configure the adapter in the XML view by using the following substeps:
   1. Enter a name and a description for the adapter.
   2. Click Switch to XML View.
   3. On the warning message that appears, click Switch View.

   4. Copy the configuration elements from the XML sample into the Properties text box, and then click OK.

      Note

      If the default value for an optional element is acceptable, omit the element. Do not include empty elements.

   5. On the warning message that appears, click Save.
      The adapter configuration with settings is saved in the XML view permanently. The newly configured adapter is now listed in the Adapters on Grid list.
