You have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V environment that includes System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). The environment includes five physical servers. The servers are configured as follows:
You plan to use VMM to migrate physical machines to virtual machines.
You need to reconfigure the hardware on the servers to support a physical to virtual offline migration.
Which three servers should you reconfigure? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A. NYC-FS
B. NYC-DEV
C. NYC-EX
D. NYC-PR
E. NYC-WEB
Correct Answer: ACD
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
You need to find servers which CANNOT go thru P2V migration.
P2V Prerequisites in VMM
Requirements on the source machine
The physical computer to be converted must meet the following requirements:
- Must have at least 512 MB of RAM.
- Cannot have any volumes larger than 2040 GB.
- Must have an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS. Vista WinPE will not install on a non-ACPI BIOS.
- Must be accessible by VMM and by the virtual machine host.
- Cannot be in a perimeter network.
--> A perimeter network, which is also known as a screened subnet, is a collection of devices and subnets that are placed between an intranet and the Internet to help protect the intranet from unauthorized Internet users. The source computer for a physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversion can be in any other network topology in which the VMM management server can connect to the source machine to temporarily install an agent and can make Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) calls to the source computer.
- The source computer should not have encrypted volumes.
--> If the source computer has encrypted volumes, an offline P2V conversion may render the computer unbootable.
Answer: So based on the prerequisites, NYC-FS, NYC-EX and NYC-PR needs to be re-configured.
UPDATE:
As of System Center 2012 R2, you can no longer perform P2V conversions in VMM.
