To activate Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) in Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 or VMM 2008 R2, you must configure Operations Manager 2007 integration with VMM and then enable PRO for the individual host groups and the host clusters that you want to participate in PRO.
