To integrate SCVMM in Cisco UCS Director, perform the following actions:
Install and configure the PowerShell agent (PSA).
Add the PSA to Cisco UCS Director.
Enable WinRM and WinRS on SCVMM and all SCVMM hosts.
Make sure that the domain account used to connect SCVMM belongs to the local administrator group for SCVMM and SCVMM hosts.
Ensure that a PowerShell Agent is added to the Hyper-V account when you create a Hyper-V account in Cisco UCS Director.
To accept remote PowerShell commands, you must enable Windows Remote Management (WinRM) for Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 or 2012 R2. Once you enable the WinRM, the interoperability of hardware and operations systems is enabled to work with the Windows Remote Shell (WinRS) command-line tool on your target server and the target server hosts.
The PowerShell Agent only executes the cmdlets and scripts on the target server in a PowerShell remote session. It requires the WinRM configuration to accept the remote session. This is a Windows PowerShell remote session requirement
| Step 1 | On your
host(s), open a command prompt, and enter
winrm
quickconfig.
The following messages appear: WinRM is not set up to allow remote access to this machine for management. The following changes must be made: Create a WinRM listener on HTTP://* to accept WS-Man requests to any IP on this machine. Enable the WinRM firewall exception. Make these changes [y/n]? | ||
| Step 2 | Enter y.
WinRM is
updated for remote management, a listener is created to accept requests, and
the firewall exception is enabled:
Make these changes [y/n]? y WinRM has been updated for remote management. Created a WinRM listener on HTTP://* to accept WS-Man requests to any IP on this machine. WinRM firewall exception enabled. | ||
| Step 3 | Verify that WinRS is enabled by entering the winrm g winrm/config command at a command prompt. | ||
| Step 4 | Configure the
value
" * "
in the TrustedHosts table of WinRM by entering the
winrm
set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="*"} command.

Make sure that the domain account used to connect the target server belongs to the local administrator group for the target server hosts.

| Step 2 | In the
Compute
for All Clouds pane, choose an SCVMM cloud.
It may take a few minutes to complete automatic discovery and populate all the data. Cisco UCS Director displays a set of tabs that contain information about the components of that account that it has discovered. |
You can view the topology of VM network, host network, and cluster network.
