Before we start building VM Clouds and IaaS offerings, we must register our SCVMM instance with Windows Azure Pack. This is also called stamp registration.
The following steps need to be carried out for registering SCVMM stamp with Windows Azure Pack:
Log into the Windows Azure Pack Management portal for administrators.
Browse the vm clouds workspace.
Click on USE AN EXISTING VIRTUAL MACHINE CLOUD PROVIDER TO PROVISION VIRTUAL MACHINES.
Provide VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGER SERVER FQDN and PORT NUMBER (if customized). Note that it doesn't ask for credentials as Windows Azure Pack uses the service provider foundation VMM service account for accessing VMM. Enter REMOTE DESKTOP GATEWAY FQDN, which will be used for Azure Pack Console Connect. This can be configured later as a remote Desktop Gateway is covered later in this chapter.
Upon successful registration, VMM stamps will be displayed in the CLOUDS workspace in the Windows Azure Pack portal.
