An organization has a private cloud infrastructure.The organization uses Windows Server 2012 R2 servers that
have the Hyper-V role installed. The organization uses ail components of System Center 2012 R2.
You use Virtual Machine Manager to configure four clouds and self-service groups. In addition, you configure
price sheets for chargeback reporting in Service Manager. You must implement chargeback for private cloud
customers.
You need to ensure that chargeback reports in Service Manager will return data.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A.
In Service Manager, configure the Virtual MachineManager Connector.
B.
Configure integration between Virtual Machine Manager and Operations Manager.
C.
Import a list of Hyper-V host servers into Service Manager by using the Import Instances
from the CSV File tool.
D.
In Service Manager, configure the Operations Manager configuration item connector.
E.
In Service Manager, configure the Configuration Manager Connector.
F.
In Service Manager, configure the Orchestrator connector.
Explanation:
D: Configure the SCOM (System Center Operations Manager) connector in Service Manager
To get the Cloud objects we were seeing in Operations Manager into the CMDB in Service Manager, the
Operations Manager connector in Service Manager needs to be configured.
To do this, follow these steps:
Open the Service Manager console as an Administrator. Select “Administration” in the Wunderbar and expand
“Administration and Connectors.” In the action menu, select: Create Connector > Operations Manager CI
Connector Etc.
B: Configuring Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) for Chargeback
In Virtual Machine Manager the following configuration need to take place:
/ Create one or more Clouds
/ Provision or assign VMs to the Clouds
/ (B) Configure integration between Virtual MachineManager and Operations Manager / Verify that the right
information is exchanged between Operations Managerand Virtual Machine Manager.
C: About Importing Data from Comma-Separated Files into Service Manager Configuration items contained in a
comma-separated value (.csv) file can be imported into the Service Manager database by using the Import from
CSV File feature. This feature lets you to bulk-import instances of any class type or projection type that is
defined in the Service Manager database. You can use this feature to:
·Create configuration item or work item instances from data stored in a tabular format.
·Bulk-edit existing database instances.
·Populate the Service Manager database by using data exported from an external database.
·Circumvent data entry through forms when many class instances must be created at the same time.
This should be A, B and D.
Service Manager must have a connection to both VMM and SCOM. In addition SCOM must be configured to pull information from VMM. You do not need to manually import information – that is the entire point of the Connectors.
I must agree with Matt, on this one.

Service Manager:
Service Manager is the central component for holding information about Private Clouds. This is done in the CMDB which is a key component of Service Manager.
In order to feed and keep information in the CMDB up to date, Service Manager uses connectors to the other System Center components and Active Directory.
Operations Manager holds information about the private clouds and which VM that are part of which Private clouds, as shown above. By connecting Service Manager and Operations Manager via a connector we can now import this information into Service Manager CMDB.
Service Manager also has a connector to Virtual Machine Manager. This connector will however not import VMs, Private Clouds and hosts, but objects that are not monitored by Operations Manager. Eg. VM Templates, Host Profiles, Logical Networks and similar object types.
Once the needed information is in the CMDB, we can now start to define our price sheets in Service Manager.
