Un tool per gestire Virtual Server: VMRC Plus

  • Article

Direi "finalmente"!: è stato reso pubblico un tool che internamente usiamo da sempre: VMRC PLUS. Si tratta di un tool per Virtual Server R2 SP1 che rende molto più semplice e ricca di funzionalità la gestione delle virtual machines. Lo troverete a partire da fine agosto nel Resource Kit di Virtual Server R2 SP1. Avete fretta? :-) Potete scaricarlo QUI

Il tool è  stato sviluppato internamente da due colleghi, Paul Despe e successsivamente Matthijs ten Seldam.  

ATTENZIONE: non esiste supporto per questo TOOL.  Leggete l'EULA prima si utilizzarlo. Se invece siete interessati ad uno strumento per gestire a livello enterprise virtual machines create con Virtual Server, vi consiglio caldamente di dare un'occhiata a System Center Virtual Machine Manager, di prossima uscita.

Un'elenco delle funzionalità introdotte:

  • Direct control of local or remote instances of the Virtual Server service. IIS and IE browser are no longer required!
  • Tabbed interface to quickly jump between Virtual Server hosts and guest VMRC sessions.
  • Reusable saved states: this feature allows users to preserve a particular saved state and return to that state at any time.
  • Multiple guest selection supported for startup/shutdown/save/display.
  • Browse button navigation for media, hard disk images, ISO images, .VMC files, etc.
  • Drag and Drop support for .VMC files, ISOs images, VHD and VFD files.
  • Resizable desktop support for guests running Virtual Machine Additions (maximize VMRC window supported).
  • Limited cut and paste of text from host to guest (only).
  • A built-in utility to take JPG screenshots of running guests. Useful when filing bugs.
  • Built-in error notification with Virtual Server eventlog viewer.
  • A Virtual Networks Manager and Virtual Disks Manager that cover all features.
  • Keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl-S to save state a guest).
  • Create multiple guests at once.
  • Create guest from parent (or multiple guests)!
  • Automatic reconnect to a designated Virtual Server host.
  • Toolbars in both Guest and Console Manager for quick access.
  • Unlimited number of guests.
  • Maximum of 32 Virtual Server hosts.
  • Sorting on columns of guests so you can sort based on status and multi-select.
  • Automatic detection of Virtual Machine Additions and notification.
  • Detection of Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1
