Microsoft SCVMM

This topic explains how to get started with SCVMM in Commander.

Getting started

To manage a SCVMM cloud account with Commander:

1. Record the IP address or the host name.
2. Create an administrative account in the SCVMM management server.

   The cloud account must have full administrative access to retrieve information about VMs and the infrastructure, to manage VM identity, to power VMs on and off, and to perform other policy-related actions.

3. Add your SCVMM server to Commander as a cloud account.

   The IP address (or the host name) and the credentials for the administrative account are used to add the cloud account to Commander. For more information, see Adding Hyper-V SCVMM Cloud Accounts.

4. Assign access rights to admin users.
