5 Introduction This integration is part of HP CSAContent Pack and demonstrates how to deploy virtual machines using Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). It also demonstrates how SCVMM is used to flex resources such as the number of processors or memory. This implementation supports many versions of SCVMM: 2008, 2012 and 2012 SP1. This content pack includes the step-by-step instructions, templates, and scripts necessary for the IT specialist to deliver a service that can be consumed by end-users.

6 System requirements This implementation requires a fully configured and functioning environment as described in the following section. Each component must be verified to work individually and as a complete solution. Software components The following table shows the major components required to use this implementation. Component Supported Version Recommended Version 1 HP Cloud Service Automation 3.20, 4.01, HP Operations Orchestration 9.x, 10.02, or later with CP 14 OO-SAS-9_00-09-ContentInstaller or or with the following HP Operations Orchestration 10 Standard content packs: oo10-base-cp oo10-cloud-cp oo10-hp-solutions-cp oo10-virtualization-cp oo10-sa-cp oo10-sm-cp oo10-csa-cp or oo10-csa-cp Note: You should get the latest content pack from HP Live Network (HPLN). Microsoft System Virtual Machine Manager 2008, 2012, 2012 SP SP1 Microsoft Stand-alone Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, R2, 2012 PowerShell 2.1 or later 2.1 or later

7 1. The Recommended Version indicates the specific software version used for solution testing by HP CSL. See "Additional resources" on page 19 for links to documentation for each of these products.

8 Configuration requirements The following configuration must be completed and tested before you set up this implementation. See "Additional resources" on page 19 for links to documentation and downloads. The HP CSA Cloud Service Management Console and Marketplace Portal must be configured. The HP CSA and HP Operations Orchestration servers should be in the same Windows domain as the SCVMM host. A DNS server must be running for HP CSA to display the IP address of the deployed VM. SCVMM 2008 R2/2012 SP1 must be installed and should be fully configured to manage Microsoft Hyper-V Server on Windows 2008 R2/2012. Its recommended that the template you use has an OS profile attached; otherwise, provisioning fails when we are trying to customize some properties of the virtual machine. Before using the SCVMM flows, make sure you have enabled PowerShell remoting using the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet. You can find more information at For supported configurations for the two SCVMM versions, refer to the Microsoft web site: Note: If a previous version of Content Pack 2 has been installed, then you will need to perform configuration steps for this integration again from the beginning. Installing the content pack Download the latest content pack installation documentation and ZIP file from HP Live Network at Continue with the configuration steps in this document after the installation is complete.

9 Configuring offerings in HP CSA If necessary, resource categories that are referenced in a service design will be automatically created when the service design archive is imported. Adding providers This implementation requires the following resource providers: Provider name Microsoft SCVMM Service access point Fully qualified domain name and port number for SCVMM For example: host >: host >:8100 Note: In some SCVMM environments, an IP address will not work but a fully-qualified domain name will work. On a 2012 SP1 setup, if the fully-qualified domain name doesn't work, try just the name of the host. These providers must be created in HP CSA. The table above provides typical service access points; you may need to change them to reflect your environment. For HP CSA 3.x, complete the following steps for each provider in the table above: 1. Log on to the Cloud Service Management Console as an administrator. 2. Click Resources. 3. Select a provider type in the panel on the left. 4.
