Enable SCVMM inventory resources from Azure portal

This article describes how you can view SCVMM management servers and enable SCVMM inventory from Azure portal, after connecting to the SCVMM management server.

View SCVMM management servers

You can view all the connected SCVMM management servers under SCVMM management servers in Azure Arc center.

In the inventory view, you can browse the virtual machines (VMs), VMM clouds, VM network, and VM templates. Under each inventory, you can select and enable one or more SCVMM resources in Azure to create an Azure resource representing your SCVMM resource.

You can use the Azure resource to assign permissions at a granular level or perform management operations.

Enable SCVMM cloud, VM templates, and VM networks in Azure

To enable the SCVMM inventory resources, follow these steps:

1. From Azure home, go to Azure Arc center. Go to SCVMM management servers and then go to inventory resources.

   

2. Select the resources you want to enable and select Enable in Azure.

   

3. In Enable in Azure, select your Azure subscription and Resource Group and select Enable.

   

   The deployment is initiated and it creates a resource in Azure, representing your SCVMM resources. You can manage the access to these resources through the Azure role-based access control (RBAC) granularly.

   Repeat the preceding steps for one or more VMM Clouds, VM networks, or VM template resources.

Enable existing virtual machines in Azure

To enable the existing virtual machines in Azure, follow these steps:

1. From Azure home, go to Azure Arc center. Go to SCVMM management servers and then go to inventory resources.

2. Go to SCVMM inventory resource, select Virtual machines, and then select the VMs you want to enable. Select Enable in Azure.

   

3. Select your Azure subscription and Resource group.

4. Select Enable to start the deployment of the VM represented in Azure.
