Microsoft Hyper-V Server - Change History

TKU December 2009

The following improvements were made:

• Updated the pattern to use a WMI Query as the primary approach to obtain details of the running VMs.
• The vm_uuid SI attribute value is now stored as the vm_bios_serial attribute and used (as previously) to create relationships between the Hyper-V VM Software Instances and Virtual Host instances.
• Enhanced version mapping enhanced to support the 2008 R2 version of Hyper-V.

TKU May 2011

Improved the algorithm to uniquely link the Hyper-V VM Software Instance with its corresponding virtual host by adding another attribute to match between the Hyper-V VM SI and the virtual host.

TKU November 2013

Added a vm_class attribute to Host nodes that are running virtualization software discovered by BMC Discovery, which enables smooth reporting in a future version of BMC Discovery.

TKU September 2014

Improved identification of related UNIX virtual machines and the Microsoft Hyper-V server.
