scvmm 2012

SCVMM is not a virtualization  platform. It does not and cannot host anything. It is a *management* platform for managing and controlling large hyper-V and VMWare farms.  I strongly recommend reviewing the system requirements for your needs, as I suspect you missed something.

With that said, if you need/want SCVMM, it isn't free. You need to buy "system center" (that's the SC in SCVMM) and SCVMM will be one of the components you get for that purchase. System Center is only sold as an entire suite. You can't buy just SCVMM standalone.

Cliff, I was referring to host as what citrix uses it for their 7.6 xenapp installation.
I have a  server 2012 standard server, please confirm once I purchase system center that it will run on this 2012 standard server.

Yes, SCVMM 2012 can run on windows server 2012.

Cliff, Can you get me a link on what server roles and features that  are needed on server for scvmm 2012 for prior installation?

As asked https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610592.aspx

Cliff, I understand that I need full sql version, but can't I point it to an existing sql server and create a new instance on that sql server, so I don't have to purchase a separate sql server license?

Of course.

I have windows standard server 2012.  My reseller said that scvmm is part of the windows 2012 volume licensing.
I am at a standstill on how /where I can download/install scvmm onto this virtual standard 2012 server.

Your reseller is wrong. SCVMM is not a part of windows at all.

ok, I figured that out too. I have the link  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610656.aspx but it doesn't explain how to install it within the server. Do I need to have a local copy of sql installed on the standard 2012 as prerequisite to adding the virtual machine manager?

Local copy? No. It can be remote. But yes, you must have a SQL server set up and running.

I have an existing sql 2008 server running, How do I create an instance for  this server 2012 ? What do I need to install on the 2012 server?

That question is far too broad to cover in an EE answer. You already posted a link to the SCVMM install instructions. I'm afraid if that, along with the many other tutorials on the web, aren't enough, you really will need more help than EE could provide and hiring a local consultant wouldn't be a bad idea.

Just tell me if I am required to install any sql software on the server 2012 which will use an instance on the existing sql server 2008?

The system requirements of the management server are here. As you can see, there is some SQL client (command line) requirements for some features.

Cliff: I have installed system center manager console, When I try to connect, then I get error message of data access service not running or not initialized. I have Microsoft System Center Service Manage SP1 installed
I never got any prompts to install the db options.

System center service manager is an *entirely* different thing. It has nothing to do with SCVMM and has different requirements, requires different planning, and more. You are having issues because you installed the wrong thing.

yes, I figured that  out. Sorry. I unistalled it.
I did download systemcenter 2012 virtual machine manager r2.
 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=10712

This downloaded and extracted a sc2012_vmm_evalvhd  hard disk image. I just wanted the eval download so I can install scvmm2012 virtual machine manager.

This created a local disk of 17gb, E drive, taken space away from my C drive. I don't get it

Eval VHDs are preconfigured, canned, virtual machine images for Hyper-V for limited evaluation scenarios. Depending on your environment, it *may* fit your needs, but that is unlikely.

Where can I install the product without it being a evaluation vhd download? I can't seem to find this to download.

Based on the evaluation guide, I believe the only evaluation media provided is the .vhd for use in a predefined lab environment. It seems likely Microsoft has pulled or did not make ISOs available due to piracy and abuse.

Hmm. Just to verify, I went to the TechNet Eval center and registered to download the System Center 2012 R2 evaluation. Once registered, there was an EXE available for download for each of the System Center components. I downloaded the SCVMM exe, ran it, and it extracted the entire setup program into a folder on my system drive. There was no problem getting an eval for use in any environment. I'm not sure how much easier I can explain those steps!

Maybe I just can't find the correct link to download this, it's getting frustrating.

As we spoke I don't want the evaluation vhd download, I just want to install the exe.

Finally, I am downloading it. I guess I wasn't registering so I wasn't seeing the download green buttons.
Thanks for sticking with me on this.

extremely helpful with assisting me to the correct url location for downloading.
