A default VMM library is configured when you install a VMM management server. However, you can add more VMM libraries later on.
Note
For High Availability, it is recommended that you deploy Highly Available VMM Library. For more information see the Deploying a HA Library Server with File Server Cluster recipe in Chapter 4, Installing a Highly Available VMM Server.
In VMM 2016, the library can store file-based resources, custom resources, templates and profiles, equivalent objects, private cloud libraries, self-service user content, stored virtual machines and services, orphaned resources and update catalogs, and baseline files.
Note
VMM 2016 supports only library servers running on Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016. SOFS is not supported. See the Deploying an HA Library Server with File Server Cluster recipe in Chapter 4, Installing a Highly Available VMM Server.
This recipe will guide you through the process of configuring the VMM library.
