This recipe will guide you through the process of configuring the connectivity between VMM and SCOM.
By integrating VMM with Operations Manager (OpsMgr), you can use the OpsMgr console to monitor the health and availability of the VMs and Hyper-V servers, VMM management and database servers, library servers, and diagram views of the virtualized environment.
In order to establish a connection with VMM, you need to configure the Operations Manager servers to work with VMM. This configuration is done on the VMM console.
Before starting, make sure that you do the following:
- Install the Operations Manager console on the VMM management server as it is required for the integration between VMM and Operations Manager
- Install the required OpsMgr management packs, as discussed in the Installing management packs recipe in this chapter
