A VMM-managed fabric server comprises the following workloads: Hyper-V hosts and host clusters, the VMM library servers, Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE), the Windows Server Update Management (WSUS) server, and the VMM management server:
You can monitor the update status of the servers, scan for compliance, and update all or a set of the server's resources, as well as exempt resources from the installation of an update.
Note
To update Guest VMs, you can use SCCM configured with WSUS or even Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS), which is hosted in Azure.
You can also orchestrate update remediation on Hyper-V host clusters, in which VMM will place one node of the cluster at a time in the maintenance mode and install the updates. If the cluster supports live migration, the Intelligent Placement feature will be used to live-migrate the VMs off the node; otherwise, VMM will save the state for the VMs, and the host will start the VM after updating.
