quire different ports. Click on Next. 11. On the Library configuration page, leave the selections as default. Click on Next. 12. Review the Installation summary information and click on Install. 13. If prompted, follow the instructions for the registration of Service Principle Names in Active Directory. This completes the installation of VMM. You can review the setup logs at C: \ProgramData\VMMLogs. Chapter 1 How it works Installing VMM on a single server is very simple, and the most important phase is the prerequisites; these must be completed prior to the installation. The service account specified for the VMM Management Service to use is granted the required permissions on the database during installation, unless you precreated the database. While it is possible to install all of the required VMM components on a single server, it is not recommended for a production environment. Hyper-V Network Virtualization with VMM utilizes the VMM management server, and subsequently the database, significantly more than traditional VLAN networking in Hyper-V. Installing a highly available Virtual Machine Manager server This recipe provides the steps required to install VMM on a multiserver environment. This will involve creating several Windows Server Failover Clusters: A cluster of two servers for a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group A cluster of two servers for VMM Management Server A cluster of two servers for the VMM Library Server A multiserver installation for VMM can give you a great deal of flexibility and resiliency in the overall installation. Getting ready You will need three Windows Server Failover Clusters created for this recipe. You will need to create a Computer object in Active Directory for each of the following clustered roles: SQL Server Availability Group Listener: in this example it will be SysCtrDBS-AGL The name of the VMM Client Access Point; in this example, it will be VMMMS The name of the File Server Client Access Point; in this example, it will be VMMLibServer Please ensure that you have
