4 VMM2008 R2 Setup, VM
Creation, and NPIV SAN
Migration
Microsoft System Center VMM2008 R2 is used for the creation and migration of
Virtual Machines (VMs) with configurations based on user requirements.
The key steps to enable and execute an NPIV SAN migration are:
1. Adding Hyper-V hosts to VMM2008 R2.
2. Creating a NPIV SAN migration-capable VM on the previously created
storage LUN.
3. Performing an NPIV SAN VM migration from the source to the destination
Hyper-V host using NPIV technology.
4. Verifying that the previously created virtual host bus adapter port migrated
to the target Hyper-V host.
Host Addition to VMM2008 R2
Use the Add Hosts Wizard in the VMM Administrator Console to add one or more
virtual machine hosts to VMM2008 R2 if all the hosts are in a trusted active
directory domain service (AD DS). (NOTE: This will be in the hypernpiv.com
domain created previously). You also can use the Add Hosts Wizard to discover
existing hosts that are in a trusted AD DS domain and then decide which hosts
you want to add. In the following example, two hosts have been joined to the AD
DS domain. Upon completion of the host addition, the output in Figure 4-1
confirms that both hosts have been successfully added to VMM2008 R2
