About Hyper-V libraries and Hyper-V servers

Question

Hi everybody, here goes my first question after some months reading the forum, so all answers are welcome in advance.

In our small company we have managed to get a pair of Hyper-V servers to work. So we allready have some Virtual machines running on them and with several snapshots and so on.

The trouble is that after reading HWTSAM we are thinking about moving forward to have our Virtual Machine Library, and I need documentation about:
- What hardware to rely on to make those libraries, shall we use a big HDD or is it ok to use different machines for server and library purposes.
- Are there some software apps to simply drag&drop VM from server to libraries, or do we need to perform any tasks.
- Can I replicate the VM I have on my library into the server, and if I can, do I have to configure network settings for each one.

..well, many questions to be my first post, but I thing that this is the right place to make them.

S!

Answer 1

1) l, for example, has a virtualization advisor that may help. I'm sure other vendors have solutions as well.

Answer 2

Thanks Mr. Page.

 At last we got green light to a SAN to keep the network running. And we are moving to get the Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool to get running ASAP, and hyper-V to fix it all together.

hope it works :)
