Having some trouble finding MS guidance on Hyper-V 2012 and IPV6.
We do not use IPV6 on our network.
Are there any good reasons to enable or disable IPV6 on the network adapters and if so can you please point me to specific MS guidance on why you should enable or disable IPV6 when using Hyper-V in Windows 2012 ( not R2 )? Thanks.
Windows server 2012 Hyper V version 6.2.9200.16384
This is a new install of Hyper-V and I am trying to take a .VHD file from another server move it to this new server and build a new VM.
I have a network storage device \\sunxxxxx\sunxxxxx where an existing .vhd file is stored.
When I try and create a new VM using this existing .vhd file as the disk, I get an error saying an error occurred accessing the file - Failed to get disk information
In the Hyper-V MMS log I get the same message with an id of 15268
If I look at the Hyper-V Storage log I get a message 27000 saying Failed to open attachment <path:filename> The request is not supported.
If I try to create a new VM and just create a new disk in the same location I get two storage messages - 27108 saying the filename xxxxxxx.vhdx is reserved for windows and then 27262 saying the system failed to create <path:filemane> the request is not supported
It feels like there is some access issue to this network storage but I am not seeing the issue. I can from this same machine create files on the storage device.
Hi
We have configured 2 X windows 2008 R2 virtual servers in Failover clustering with Windows 2012 R2 Data Center - hyper V clustering and it's working fine. This is the first time we configured the HV clustering along with Guest clustering. We are using CSVs& VHDx format virtual disks for guest servers OS and applications. Also configured another 2 X VHDx for guest failover cluster shared disks and fail over cluster wizard failed to identifiy these as shared disks and once we installed the Windows 2012 R2 integration services on both virtual servers we wrere able to configure fail over virtual server clustering and then we installed SQL clustering. Here our concerns are whether Windows 2008 R2& SQL 2008 R2 are supported in above configuration?
Thanks in advance for your valuable comments

I am looking at migrating to Hyper-V and wondered if I would be able to cluster or pool my existing physical servers with Hyper-V 3 and pool the CPU and memory resources together vs having virtual servers mapped to specific physical hosts.
Dear Hyper-V Team,
Would be possible please to configure a virtual NIC inside a Virtual Machine in Promiscuous Mode?
I need to deploy Websense web filter and the requirement is two have two NICs, one NIC with IP and the second NIC without IP as promiscuous mode to monitoring the traffic (filtering).
I have Websense installed on a physical server, but I would like to virtualize it.
I checked with Websense and they said that Hyper-V 2012 is supported, but regarding the vNIC configuration in promiscuous mode we need to consult the Hyper-V team.
Usually in physical scenario, I configure the Cisco switch with the monitoring cmdlet with source and destination interfaces.
monitor session 1 source interface Gi0/36
monitor session 1 destination interface Gi0/46
The destination interface is the NIC configured in promiscuous mode in the physical server.
Your support is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Regards,
Hi,
I am wondering if I could add a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server to an existing Hyper-V 2012 cluster ?

Hi,
Is it possible to change the guest asset tag from the auto generated one?
<asset_tag type="string">5924-0623-9773-3287-0532-6775-58</asset_tag>
Thanks,
We have a requiement to modify the assetTag of virtual machine in Hyper V 2012 programmtically.
As per documentation have used the ModifyVirtualSystem method of Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class. But this throwing exception as invalid parameter.
Any suggestions why the api is not working as expected

Hi there,
I am having some issues with the Hyper-V 2012 R2. I have installed Hyper-V role, created a NIC team and then created a virtual switch. Event log show a MAC conflict: A port on the virtual switch has the same MAC as one of the underlying team members on Team Nic Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver
How can i fix this?

Hi.
I have a DELL T420 with Nvidia Quadro K600 video card on it.
I installed the Win Server 2012 OS + HyperV + Win8 Enterprise 64bits VM.
The Win8's "Device Manager" shows the following message::
Windows RemoteFX Graphics Device - WDDM: (Code 43) Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
Does anyone knows why?
My virtual server crashed, but I was able to get it going again. But...all the VMs show as Saved-Critical. I figured no big problem as I do have Windows backups. I booted from the DVD and ran the recovery, but after it finishes and reboots, I get a boot failure - no boot device found.
I have the original VHDs, is it possible to just build new VMs and use these drives? Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have enabled dynamic Memory for a guest VM on a Windows 2008 R2.
Now, "Memory Demand" shown in the Hyper-V Manager never matches the "Used Ram" that can be seen from "Task Manager" from inside the VM.
Please explain this behavior and from where can I get exact RAM used for a VM from host ?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have bought a Dell R620 with Server 2012 Datacenter OEM (no R2 version). The dvd I've received from dell has only the datacenter version available. There is also only a sticker on the chasis of the server with datacenter product key.
The datacenter is working as hyper-v host.
For the VM I want to install the 2012 Standard OS, but how since there is no system installation disk? The licence allows me to install any server OS up to 2012 datacenter as VM.
I tried even to downloadWindows Server 2012 Standard Evaluation but it don't want to activate with the Datacenter OEM product key.
Also the trick with DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:OEMDatacenterKey /AcceptEula doesn't work with error 1605 - The specified product key is not valid for the target edition.
How can I manage/solve the problem?
Best regards
Marcin
Hi,
We have a Guest Cluster Configuration on top of an Hyper-V Cluster. We are using Windows 2012 and Fiber Channel shared storage.
The problem is regarding Live Migration. Some times when we move a virtual machine from node A to node B everything goes well but when we try to move back to node A Live Migration fails. What we can see is that when we move the VM from node A to B and Live Migration completes successfully the virtual ports remain active on node A, so when we try to move back from B to A Live Migration fails because the virtual ports are already there.
This doesn't happen every time.
We have checked the zoning between Host Cluster Hyper-V and the SAN, the mapping between physical HBA's and the vSAN's on the Hyper-V and everything is ok.
Our doubt is, what is the best practice for zoning the vHBA on the VM's and our Fabric? We setup our zoning using an alias for the vHBA 1 and the two WWN (A and B) on the same object and an alias for the vHBA 2 and the correspondent WWN (A and B). Is it better to create an alias for vHBA 1 -> A (with WWN A) and other alias for vHBA 1 -> B (with WWN B)?
The guest cluster VM's have 98GB of RAM each. Could it be a time out issue when Live Migration happen's and the virtual ports remain active on the source node? When everything goes well, the VM moves from node A with vHBA WWN A to node B and stays there with vHBA WWN B. On the source node the virtual ports should be removed automatically when the Live Migration completes. And that is the issue... sometimes the virtual ports (WWN A) stay active on the source node and when we try to move back the VM Live Migration fails.
I hope You may understand the issue.
Regards,
Carlos Monteiro.
Running into a "small" issue when migrating VM's to a new hyper-v host image.
I had hyper-v running from a USB drive/stick. Due to issues with the network drivers I thought it would be best to start with a clean hyper-v image again. The server is now booting from this new image without any issues but I am unable to import the existing VM's (they are in a saved state).

Please note that the vhdx files were NOT moved during the hyper-v image migration. So does anyone have any idea why Import-VM is incorrectly expecting these vhdx files to be residing on drive E:\ ?
Thank you in advance.
Hello Members
(I am a VMware guy. First attempt at a Hyper-V Deployment).
Here is a brief outline of my new Hyper-V infrastructure which has been setup for a very small branch office:
*********************************************************
Here's the Hyper-V Networking Design which has been currently configured between the HP Host and the IBM SAN
*********************************************************
Here's the issue i am currently encountering
*********************************************************
I researched the Forums and the KBs.
I am running on a tight schedule here (when are we not .. ? )
THANKS A LOT TO ANYONE WHO COULD HELP!
