To get the best out of Microsoft Hyper-V servers you need Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). This book will show you how to install the product in a test environment.
When you install the Hyper-V role on Windows Server a management tool is provided that that has basic capabilities. To really exploit the full potential of Hyper-V you need to get into the world of System Center. System Center and VMM can be intimidating when you first start looking into it. Straight away there are lots of versions and products and it can take several days to try and get something up and running.
This book shows you how to get a simple lab up and running VMM quickly. You don’t need to buy software and it can all be set up on a modest computer. The book leads you through all the steps with screenshots all the way.
The builds described in this book are based on the newest versions of Windows Server (2012 RC), SQL Server (2012) and VMM (2012 SP1 customer preview) available at the time of writing (July 2012) so you should be up to date with current technology for several years to come. When these products are finalized I will update this book.
After completing the builds in this book you should have a working environment that you can use to evaluate VMM and develop your skills in using the product.
