System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007

To get reports, you must download the updated VMM 2008 Management Pack from the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Catalog (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=82105). Follow the installation instructions in the VMM 2008 Management Pack Guide, which is posted at Management Pack Guides for Server Products (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=120279). Unlike most management packs, the VMM 2008 Management Pack requires additional configuration tasks, performed in VMM 2008, before use. To simplify the management pack deployment, VMM provides the Configure Operations Manager option of the VMM Setup Wizard, which automates many of those tasks. To ensure a successful management pack deployment, use the Setup Wizard to import the management pack, and follow the instructions closely.

A supported version of Microsoft SQL Server for the VMM database.
