Chapter 5
Managing Hyper-V
The previous chapters explained the key building blocks of virtualization, and this
chapter shows how to begin bringing together those separate blocks through
consolidated management. While basic management can be performed using Hyper-V
Manager, for most enterprise deployments it will be necessary to use System Center
Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) as well as automation solutions such as
PowerShell and System Center Orchestrator.
This chapter covers installing and securing Hyper-V before presenting details about
virtual machine deployments and converting physical servers into a virtual machine.
In this chapter, you will learn to:
Identify the ways to deploy Hyper-V.
Explain why using Server Core or Nano Server is beneficial to deployments.
Create and use virtual machine templates.
