VMM library conguration
The VMM library is a catalog of resources that provides access to le-based resources such as virtual hard disks (VHDs), ISO images,
scripts, driver les, and application packages that are stored on library servers. It also provides access to non-le-based resources such as
VM templates, service templates, and proles that reside in the VMM database.
To view the layout of the VMM library, in the VMM console, open the Library workspace:
• Cloud Libraries -Shows the library share that is available to the cloud that was created for tenant resources.
• Library Servers -Shows the VMM library server and the library share. In Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft, the VMM library
server is the same as the VMM server (<Prefix>VMM01). By default, there is one library share.
Table 7. Default library share
Library Share Name Purpose
MSSCVMMLibrary The default VMM library share. Also, for tenants, this is the read-only library share
that is used to store tenant resources.
By default, in the VHDs folder, there are the following virtual hard disk les:
• Core.vhdx
• Full.vhdx
• Blank Disk – Small.vhdx
• Blank Disk – Large.vhdx
• Blank Disk – Large.vhd
• Blank Disk – Small.vhd
In the library, there are several pre-built VM templates that tenants can use for VM creation. You can view them in the Library workspace >
Templates > VM Templates.
These include:
• A1 and A1_Full
• A2 and A2_Full
• A3 and A3_Full
• A4 and A4_Full
The appended _Full indicates that the VM template uses the Full.vhdx le for deployment. This deploys the full installation of Windows
Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition. If _Full is not indicated, the template uses Core.vhdx (the server core conguration). These templates
deploy VMs that map to Azure sizing for the number of cores and memory; but not for storage. (To view the properties, right-click a
template, click
Properties, and then click the Hardware Conguration tab.)
NOTE
: By default, Remote Desktop is not enabled in the operating system image to which these templates point.
