Last week, MS released a management pack for monitoring W2008 Hyper-V using OpsMgr 2007. It offers “monitoring of Windows Server Hyper-V systems. This includes monitoring coverage of Hyper-V host servers, including critical services and disks, and Hyper-V virtual machines, including virtual components and virtual hardware.
Feature Summary
This management pack provides the following functionality:
- Management of critical Hyper-V services that affect virtual machines and host server functionality
- Management of host server logical disks that affect virtual machine health
- Full representation of virtualization in a single Hyper-V host server, including virtual networks, virtual machines, and guest computers
- Monitoring of virtual machine hardware components that affect availability“
You don’t need VMM 2008 to use this management pack. Prior to this MP, you could monitor Hyper-V using an MP that was included with VMM.
