9.
The bare metal chassis boots into the virtual hard disk. If necessary, the newly de-
ployed operating system can obtain additional drivers not included in the virtual hard
disk from a VMM library server.
10.
Post deployment customization of the newly deployed operating system occurs. This
includes setting a name for the new host and joining an Active Directory Domain
Services domain.
11.
The Hyper-V server role is deployed and the newly deployed virtualization host is con-
nected to VMM and placed in a host group.

Virtualization host requirements
To be able to configure a bare metal hardware chassis so that it can function as a VMM man-
aged Hyper-V virtualization host, the hardware chassis needs to meet the following require-
ments:
■
X64 processor that supports hardware assisted virtualization and hardware-enforced
Data Execution Prevention (DEP). In some cases, it may be necessary to enable this
support in BIOS.
■
PXE boot support. The hardware chassis must be able to PXE boot off a PXE enabled
network adapter. The PXE enabled network adapter needs to be configured as a boot
device.
■
Out of band (OOB) management support. System Center 2012 R2 VMM is able to dis-
cover and manage the power states of hardware chassis that support BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller). This version of VMM supports the following protocols:
■
SMASH (Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware) version 1 over WS-
Management
■
DCMI (Datacenter Management Interface) version 1.0
■
IPMI (Microsoft Intelligent Platform Management Interface) version 1.5 or version 2.0
PXE server requirements
The PXE server needs to provide the PXE service through Windows Deployment Services.
When you add the VMM agent to an existing Windows Deployment Services server, VMM will
only manage the deployment process if the computer making the request is designated as a
new virtualization host by VMM.
The PXE server needs to be on the same subnet as the bare metal chassis to which it will de-
ploy the virtualization host operating system.
To configure a PXE server to support VMM, perform the following steps:
