Hyper-V Labs - Experience a Half-Day Virtualisation Hands-on Lab

Experience a Half-Day Hyper-V Hands-On Lab

Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) allows you to convert existing physical computers into virtual machines through a process known as physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversion.

VMM simplifies P2V by providing a task-based wizard to automate much of the conversion process. Since the P2V process is completely scriptable, you can initiate large-scale P2V conversions through Windows PowerShell. The requirements for physical source computers depend on whether you are performing an online or offline P2V.

ITTS has developed a half-day hands-on lab, where you will perform actual P2V virtualisations on real servers. Don't practice on your live production environment! Learn about implementing virtualisation best pratices, and more importantly...Learn from our mistakes!
 
After completing this lab you will be able to: 
  • Install and verify the components required for SCVMM 2008 R2.
  • Install SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper‑V Enabled Server
  • Perform an Online P2V conversion of a production Windows 2003 R2 Server
  • Perform an Offline P2V Conversion of a Windows 2000 Server
