Create profiles: In the library, create one or more physical computer profiles.Add resources to VMM library: Add resources that include a generalized virtual hard disk with an appropriate operating system (as listed in Prerequisites: creating hosts, host clusters, or Scale-Out File Server clusters from bare metal in VMM) to use as the base image and optional driver files to add to the operating system during installation.Prepare the PXE server environment: Add the PXE server to VMM management (as described in Prerequisites: creating hosts, host clusters, Scale-Out File Server clusters from bare metal in VMM, and How to add a PXE server to VMM.).You need to create DNS entries and Active Directory account for the machine names, and we recommend you allow time for DNS replication to occur. Initial configuration: Set up the BIOS on the machine to support virtualization, set the BIOS boot order to boot from a Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE)-enabled network adapter as the first device, and configure the sign-in credentials and IP address settings for the BMC on each computer.Verify prerequisites: Ensure you've all the prerequisites before you start.In addition to adding existing Windows servers to the fabric as Hyper-V hosts and clusters, VMM can discover physical bare-metal machines, automatically install an operating system, and provision them as Hyper-V server hosts and clusters. Use this article to provision a Hyper-V host or cluster from bare metal computers with nothing installed on them, in the System Center - Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) fabric. This version of Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) has reached the end of support.
