Q: Is there a better Hyper-V Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager?
A: The basic System Center Hyper-V Management Pack for Hyper-V is very basic and not that useful for most organizations. Fortunately, there is a separate Hyper-V Management Pack Extensions 2012 available on CodePlex. It features performance monitoring and far more information, including the following:
VMs Integration Services Version monitor
Hyper-V Replica Health Monitoring Dashboard and States
SMB Shares I/O latency monitor
Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical processor monitoring
Hyper-V Hypervisor Virtual processor monitoring
Hyper-V Dynamic Memory monitoring
Hyper-V Virtual Networks monitoring
NUMA remote pages monitoring
SLAT enabled processor detection
Hyper-V VHDs monitoring
Physical and Logical Disk monitoring
Host Available Memory monitoring
Stopped and Failed VMs monitoring
Failed Live Migrations monitoring
The Management Pack can be downloaded from Codeplex. After downloading, just install like any other Management Pack, and once it's been downloaded by the Hyper-V servers, you will have the new views and data available.
Some of the new dashboards are also very helpful, particularly the Hyper-V Replica and Integration Services dashboard, as the screen shot below shows.
