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.
The PowerShell Agent executes cmdlets and scripts on the target server in a PowerShell remote session. To accept remote PowerShell commands, enable Windows Remote Management (WinRM), change the startup type to Automatic, create a "listener" to respond to WinRS commands, and start the service on each computer you want to work with. This provides connectivity to Windows Remote Shell (WinRS), the client side of WS-Management protocol.
To enable WinRM, run a configuration command. The command creates a "listener" and also opens an exception for WinRM in Windows Firewall.
Step 1 | Open a command prompt, and enter the command:
winrm quickconfig You receive the following output: WinRM is not set up to allow remote access to this machine for management. The following changes must be made: Set the WinRM service type to delayed auto start. Start the WinRM service. 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.
You receive the following output: Make these changes [y/n]? y WinRM has been updated for remote management. WinRM service type changed successfully. WinRM service started. 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 WinRM is enabled by executing the following command:
get-service winrm | ||
Step 4 | Configure the value " * " in the TrustedHosts table of WinRM by executing the following command:
winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="*"} When you are working with computers in workgroups or home groups, either use HTTPS as the transport or add the remote machine to the TrustedHosts configuration settings to enable authentication.

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

Step 2 | On the Compute page, 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 the account that it has discovered. By default, the Summary tab appears. It provides the graphical view of cloud information in a dashboard format. |
You can view the topology of VM network, host network, and cluster network.
