Configuring Hyper-V Pro tip integration for failover notification
Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) provides centralized
administration for your Hyper-V virtual machines. Within SCVMM, Performance and
Resource Optimization (PRO) provides a basic set of monitors that can alert you to
situations where you may want or need to modify a virtual machine configuration in order
to optimize the host or virtual machine. These alerts, called PRO tips, recommend
actions for you to take to return a host, virtual machine, or any other component of a
virtual environment to a healthy state. Storage Mirroring Recover extends the PRO
capabilities by providing specific PRO tips for Hyper-V virtual server failover.
In order to receive PRO tips for Hyper-V virtual server failover, your SCVMM machine
must be a member of the domain where your Hyper-V host is located, and you must
have a machine (same or different than your SCVMM machine) running Microsoft
System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007 R2.
