NIT3222 Virtualisation in Computing Assignment - University Name

This document presents a comprehensive solution to the NIT3222 Virtualisation in Computing assignment. The assignment focuses on utilizing System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to manage virtual machine hosts. The solution details the configuration of virtual networks to enable communication between virtual machines, including setting up IP addresses and testing connectivity through ping tests. It covers the addition of hosts to SCVMM, including configuring one as a trusted host within the domain. The solution also describes the process of adding resources like a Windows 7 image file to the SCVMM library for virtual machine creation. Furthermore, it illustrates the creation of virtual machines on different hosts, storage of machines in the SCVMM library, and the migration of virtual machines from one host to another. Finally, it addresses the placement of the SQL server used by SCVMM on a machine that does not support the VMM service, including domain joining host1 and establishing a two-way trust. The solution also provides a bibliography of the resources used.

NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Configuration of Virtual network for enabling communication
The network 192.168.44.0 is used depending on the student number. The configuration settings
used for the virtual machines are given below:
SCVMM
 Windows Server 2016 IP – 192.168.44.1/24 RAM – 4 GB Processor – 2 Cores HDD – 100 GB LAN Segmentation - SCVMM
Host 1
 Windows Server 2016 IP – 192.168.44.10/24 RAM – 4 GB Processor – 2 Cores HDD – 100 GB LAN Segmentation - SCVMM
Host 2
 Windows Server 2016 IP – 192.168.44.20/24 RAM – 4 GB

 Processor – 2 Cores HDD – 100 GB LAN Segmentation - SCVMM
Inside Host (Windows 7)
 Windows 7 Professional RAM – 512 MB Processor – 1 Cores HDD – 50 GB LAN Segmentation – Internal Network
Connection of the Virtual Network
For the addition of virtual network a lan segment is added and named as SCVMM for all the
VMs for enabling the machines communicate in the LAN.

A ping test is done for the verification of the connectivity between the hosts and it is shown
below:

Active Directory Configuration
A new forest named test.com in the SCVMM server is added and two users user1 and user2 is
created.

NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
SCVMM
SCVMM is installed in the server that is configured as the domain controller

9
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Addition of one host as a trusted host
The resource location of the host is needed to be selected

10
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Then the host 1 is added as the trusted host

11

12
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
In the next step the host 2 is added as a Perimeter host

13
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Addition of two hosts

14
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Addition of resources
A Windows 7 image file is added for the creation of virtual machine in the host SCVMM library.
The iso file helps in creation of future VM and a security file is created in the Host2 with the
help of SCVMM agent.

15

Creation of VM inside the host
A VM is created and named as test1 in host1

16
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Similarly, another VM is created and named as test2 in host 2

18
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Storage of one machine in the SCVMM library

19
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Migrating one virtual machine from one host to another

20
NIT3222 VIRTUALISATION IN COMPUTING
Placing SQL server used by SCVMM on a machine does not supporting the VMM
service
For the installation of SQL server 2017, the host1 is joined with the domain such that a two way
trust can be developed.
