Importing Data from System Center Virtual Machine Manager
Updated: May 13, 2016
Applies To: System Center 2012 SP1 - Service Manager, System Center 2012 R2 Service Manager, System Center 2012 - Service Manager
You can import objects, such as VM templates, service templates, and storage classifications that are created in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) into the Service Manager database by creating a Virtual Machine Manager connector. After you import these objects into the Service Manager database, you can use these objects, for example, when you create Request Offerings.
If, in your environment, your VMM server pushes discovery data to an Operations Manager server, you will want to create an Operations Manager CI connector. You must make sure that the VMM management pack, Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.2012.Discovery, is synchronized with the Service Manager management server. You can create the Operations Manager CI connector either before or after creating the Virtual Machine Manager connector.
