System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008 R2 has released to manufacturing today (RTM) and will be available via VL/MSDN/TechNet in October 1.
Meanwhile, you can try it and download for 180-days evaluation only from this link
Personally, I recommend everyone who works with Hyper-V, to “taste” this app especially in its new R2 version.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 has its new features, such as:
- Live migration
- Clustered Shared Volume - support that enables multiple Highly Available Virtual Machines per LUN.
- Hot add of storage
- Support for managing VMware vSphere 4
- SAN Migration into and out of clustered hosts
- Processor flexibility
- Maintenance mode for hosts
And so much more...
I hope to publish few articles soon describing how to install, use and maintain this application.
