How you can Migrate VMware to Hyper-V (4): Set up and Setup SCVMM

Welcome to half 4 of my VMware to Hyper-V migration hands-on information. On this half, you’ll create the AD objects required to put in SCVMM.

Then, you’ll configure SPN delegation, set up SCVMM stipulations, and set up an SQL Server. Additionally, you will deploy an HA cluster file server to host your VMM Library share.

Lastly, you’ll deploy and configure SCVMM.

Activity 1: Create AD Objects and Service Accounts

Putting in SCVMM requires creating some Lively Listing objects. To create these objects, full the next duties in AD:

1. Create an OU known as “Service Accounts”
2. Create a Service account known as scvmm-sa within the “Service Accounts” OU
   – Verify Password by no means expires and Person can not change password
   – Uncheck Person should change password at subsequent logon
   – This service account will probably be used for putting in SCVMM
3. Create one other account known as scvmm-ra within the “Service Accounts” OU
   – This account will probably be used as VMM “Run as” account
   Create a Service account known as scvmm-sa within the “Service Accounts” OU
   – Verify Password by no means expires and Person can not change password
   – Uncheck Person should change password at subsequent logon
   – Add the scvmm-ra account to the International Administrator in vCenter Server
   – Add the scvmm-ra account to the Area Admins group in AD – scvmm-sa account is okay as area customers
4. Create an OU known as DKM
   – That is the place SCVMM shops Distributed Key Administration
   – Throughout SCVMM set up, you’ll specify the DistinguishedName of this OU

Activity 2: Configure SPN Delegation for the SCVMM Service Account

Register to a Area Controller, run PowerShell as administrator, then run the next instructions:

The instructions configure SPN delegation to the cluster title

 setspn -u -s SCVMM/lab-cluster-2 scvmm-sa
setspn -u -s SCVMM/lab-cluster-2.lab.infopressmedia.com scvmm-sa

Activity 3: Deploy a Extremely Obtainable VMM Library

In activity 3, you’ll create a HA SCVMM Library Share utilizing the next subtasks.

Activity 3.1: Configure a HA Cluster File Server Position

1. Open the Fail Over Cluster Supervisor from any of the Hyper-V hosts. Then, right-click the Roles node and choose Configure Position.

2. On the primary web page of the Excessive Availability Wizard, verify Don’t present this web page once more. Then, click on Subsequent to proceed to the subsequent web page.

3. Then, select the File Server position and click on Subsequent.

4. In the File Server Kind web page, select File Server for basic use (that is the default choice).

5. Then, on the Shopper Entry Level web page, enter the file server’s title and IP deal with. I’m utilizing the main points within the desk under in my residence lab.

For the IP deal with, enter the final portion, which is 108 in my desk under,

6. The Choose Storage web page will load. Verify the checkbox subsequent to the VMMLibrary Disk, then click on Subsequent to proceed to the subsequent web page.

7. Lastly, assessment the Cluster File Server configurations and click on Subsequent to create the position. When the wizard finishes creating the position, click on End.

The Fail Over Cluster Supervisor Roles node will show the File Server data, together with the Proprietor Node.

Activity 3.2: Create a Folder Share for the VMM Library

To permit the SCVMM server and “Run As” account to entry the VMM Library share, we should create a folder share utilizing the VMMLibrary cluster disk. Moreover, we should grant permission to the VMM AD pc account and the SCVMM “Run As” account.

To create a folder share for the VMM Library and configure permissions, observe these steps:

1. Click on the Roles node of the Fail Over Server Supervisor console, then left-click the file server position you created in step 3.1. After that, click on Add File Share.

2. Then, on the primary web page of the New Share wizard, choose SMB Share – Fast.

Once you end including the objects and assigning permissions, the Superior Safety Settings web page of the share ought to seem like the screenshot under. To avoid wasting the modifications, click on OK.

9. Evaluate the share permissions and click on Subsequent. Lastly, click on Create to create the share.

Activity 3.3: Create Subfolders within the VMM Library Share

When you click on File and Storage Companies > Shares in Server Supervisor, the share will probably be obtainable there.

Proper-click the VMM Library share and choose Open share. Then, create the next folders:

“ISO-Photographs,” VHDs, and “VM-Templates.”

Utilizing folder names with areas – for instance, “ISO Photographs” – appears to trigger an issue. After I used “ISO Photographs” after importing ISO recordsdata to this folder in SCVMM, it added some jibberish characters to shut the area.

Later on this information – after putting in SCVMM – we’ll add the share to SCVMM Library

Activity 4: Set up SCVMM Deployment Conditions

Navigate to the folder share you created partly 1 and obtain the required set up recordsdata. To get the community path of the folder share, open the Properties and click on on the Sharing tab. Copy the community path.

All downloaded SCVMM prerequisite software program ought to be situated in “IPMPHPV4Hyper-VFilesSCVMMServer22.”

Set up the next in your SCVMM server – I’ve added the set up executable file title subsequent to every software program:

Set up the apps within the order listed and use the set up default settings.

The installer will run some pre-installation checks and return outcomes. If yours returns a warning or error, click on it to see the main points.

If needed, resolve the problem earlier than you proceed set up. My deployment throws a Home windows Firewall warning message.

The warning particulars ask me to make sure that the required ports are open to permit distant entry. I can safely ignore this warning as my SQL server and SCVMM server are operating on the identical server, so no distant entry is required.

6. On the Azure Extension for SQL Server, uncheck the checkbox until you require this extension.

7. Choose solely the Database Engine Companies until you require different options. You may additionally change the Occasion root listing to a special drive if needed.

8. Use the default occasion and click on Subsequent to proceed.

9. Settle for the default Service Startup settings.
