System Requirements: Monitoring and Reporting

Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) provides the capability to monitor the health and performance of virtual machines and their hosts. To do so, VMM integrates with Operations Manager and enables Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO).

System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager supports the following versions of Operations Manager:

• Operations Manager 2007 R2
  
  
• System Center 2012 – Operations Manager
  
  

In System Center 2012 SP1, VMM supports only System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager.

Note
The version of the Operations Manager operations console that is installed on the VMM management server must match the version of Operations Manager with which you intend to integrate.

VMM also provides the capability to use the reporting functionality of Operations Manager. To use the forecasting reports, SQL Server Analysis Services must be installed on the Operations Manager Reporting server. The version of Analysis Services must be at least SQL Server 2008 with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
