Virtualization In Cloud Computing Tasks 2022

VIRTUALIZATION IN CLOUD COMPUTING

OVERVIEW
It has been seen that the System Center Virtual Machine Manager or SCVMM can offer different
types of advantages to the virtual infrastructure. In this task, different features of SCVMM have
been found to investigate. All the more explicitly, it has been seen that SCVMM can be monitor
for virtual machine host as per the accordance with following diagram as SCVMM is used install
inside a virtual machine approach. There is an arrow which shows the host which is again found
to manage and monitor through SCVMM.
OBJECTIVES
Following undertakings are expected to execute in two hosts in this Lab environment:
1. To check that after inserting the SQL server which is used by SCVMM for the machine as that
would not used for operating the virtual machine service.
2. To have at least two hosts with SCVMM
3. It is expected to include at least of one host with the trusted host and these hosts can reside
within their domain.
4. It is expected to store at least one virtual machine with the SCVMM library.
5. It is expected to relocate a virtual machine with one host to other hosts.
6. It is expected to configure the virtual network for allowing their communication.
PROCEDURES AND STEPS
We have 2 hosts where we have installed windows server 2012 R2 and enabled Hyper-V role on
those servers. We have installed and introduced domain controller on one virtual machine. We
have made an additional two virtual machines for SQL server and SCVMM server. The SQL
server installed on one virtual machine and this SQL server is utilized for SCVMM database.

INSTALLATION OF SCVMM SERVER
We have installed windows server 2012 R2 on one virtual machine which situated on host2. We
required to install Win ADK 8.1 on to virtual machine.
We will accomplish our target (Placing the SQL server utilized by SCVMM on a machine that
doesn't work the VMM administration.) in this SCVMM installation.
Step 1: Start installing by double-clicking on adksetup.exe
Step 2: Provided or set the path where Win ADK 8.1 needs to be installed.

Step 3: Select no and click next on CEIP dialog box.
Step 4: Accept the license agreement by clicking on Accept.

Step 5: Select the checkbox Deployment tools and Windows Pre-installation Environment
(Windows PE) and click install.
Step 6: Click on close to complete the installation.

Step 7: Click on Setup.exe to start the SCVMM installation.
Step 8: Click on install.

Step 9: Select the checkbox VMM Management server and VMM console and click next.
Step 10: Accept the license agreement by clicking the checkbox “I have read, understand and
agree with the terms of the license agreement” and click next.

Step 11: Select on no, I am not willing to participate and click next.
Step 12: Select off if you do not want automatically update and click next.

Step 13: Set path for installation
Step 14: Provide SQL server name where the database of SCVMM created. Click the checkbox
use the following credentials and provide Credentials for authentication.
Note: This configuration proves that SQL server used by SCVMM on a machine that does not
operate the VMM service.

Step 15: Provide SVC account credentials and click next.
Step 16: Port configuration details

Step 17: Provide details for library creation and click next.
Step 18: Click Install to start installation.

Step 19: SCVMM installation process is completed successfully.
ADDING HOST TO SCVMM
The two objectives will be achieved in this topic, they are
 Adding at least two hosts to SCVMM.
 Adding at least one host as a trusted host (i.e. host resides in the domain).
Step 1: Go to VMs and services and go to All Hosts, right-click on All Hosts and select Add
Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters

Step 2: Select Windows server computer in a trusted Active Directory domain on resource
location dialog box and click next.
Step 3: Select use an existing Run As account on credentials and click next.

Step 4: Select Specify an active directory query to search for windows computers on discovery
scope dialog box and click on generate an AD query.
Step 5: Type the computer name as Host2 and click on OK.

Step 6: Your AD query will be automatically displayed on the text box. Now click next.
Step 7: Select Hostname on target resource dialog box and click next.

Step 8: Select All host in the host setting and click next.
Step 9: Click finish to host the computer host2.

Step 10: Host2 is added successfully.
ADDING THE SECOND HOST IN SCVMM SERVER
Step 1: Select Windows server computer in a trusted Active Directory domain on resource
location dialog box and click next.

Step 2: Select use an existing Run As account in credentials dialog box and click next.
Step 3: Select Specify an active directory query to search for windows computers on discovery
scope dialog box and click on generate an AD query.

Step 4: Type computer name as Host1 and click on OK.
Step 5: Your AD query for this host1 will be automatically displayed on the text box in the
discovery scope dialog box and click next.

Step 6: Select Hostname in target resource and click next.
Step 7: Select All host in host groups and click next.

Step 8: Click finish to host hosts.
Step 9: Both hosts are added successfully.

STORING VIRTUAL MACHINE INTO LIBRARY
In this topic, we will achieve the following objective.
 Storage of at least one virtual machine in the SCVMM library.
Step 1: Go to Virtual machine in VMs and services, right-click on to virtual machine and select
store in library.
Step 2: Select the Library on the library server where you want to store virtual machine and click
next.

Step 3: Select the library path and click next.
Step 4: Click on the store.

Step 5: The virtual machine is successfully stored in the library.
MIGRATION OF VIRTUAL MACHINE
In this topic, we will migrate one virtual machine from one host to another host.
Step 1: Go to Virtual machine in VMs and services, right-click on to virtual machine and select
migrate virtual machine.

Step 2: Select host1 for migration of virtual machine on the select host dialog box and click next.
Step 3: Provide the location for storage and click next.

Step 4: Click on the move to migrate.
Step 5: Virtual machine is successfully migrated from one host to another i.e. host2 to host 1.

CONFIGURATION OF VIRTUAL NETWORKS
In this topic, we will configure virtual network for one of our hosts.
Step 1: Go to host in VMs and services, right-click on to host and click on properties.
Step 2: Click on virtual Switches, click on new virtual Switch and select standard switch.

Step 3: Provide the name of switch on name box and select external for outside communication.
Click on Ok to save the configuration.
