for SCVMM

The different scenarios for hypervisor deployment are as follows:

Table 1. Hypervisor deployment scenarios

Condition Action

If you require the latest factory drivers. While creating a hypervisor profile, enable Lifecycle Controller (LC)

driver injection.

If you want to retain the existing hardware configuration. While creating the Operational Template, clear the check box for all

the components that do not require any changes.

To deploy hypervisor through SCVMM console using OMIMSSC, perform the following steps:

1. Download the latest Dell EMC Deployment ToolKit (DTK) and create a Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) boot ISO image.

For more information, see the WinPE update.

2. Create a physical computer profile, and a host group in SCVMM. For more information, see the SCVMM documentation.

3. Create a hypervisor profile in the OMIMSSC console extension for SCVMM. For more information, see Creating a hypervisor profile.

4. Discover the reference server by using the Discovery page. For more information, see the Discovering servers using manual discovery.

Redeploying Windows OS using OMIMSSC

To redeploy Windows OS on a server by using OMIMSSC console extension for SCCM or OMIMSSC console extension on SCVMM,

perform the following steps:

1. Delete the server from the Microsoft console. For more information, see Microsoft documentation.

2. Rediscover the server or synchronize OMIMSSC with the registered Microsoft console. The server is added as an unassigned server in
