$

We've got Hyper-V 2012 cluster with two nodes. Today I notieced that few machines was paused. I found out event 18516 "'xxserwerxx' was paused. (virtual machine ID ....)"

What can be the reason of this? Where can I find more information about this issue?

I'm not sure that this was a run of space problem. On this particular volume I've got about 10GB of space, there are also other machines which wasn't paused.

Problem with avhd Files

$

Hello i have a bad issue with HyperV and my VM

Let me explain from the start: We shut down a virtual machine to delete a Snapshot with Hyper V Virtual Manager. So the process begins but stops at 48%, not enough disk space ! We stopped the automatic merge and took another snapshot, which we interrupted at some point (dont ask me why).

Then we exported the VM to an attached NAS to merge the avhd manually, i now have 2 ahvd and vhd File. If i merge the latest to avhd as written here: http://itproctology.blogspot.ch/2008/06/how-to-manually-merge-hyper-v-snapshots.html
i cant connect the 2 "vhds" with eachother, it comes up with an error "Invalid parameter" when i try to reconnect.

If i start the VM i get an error with the broken chain sth like this:

http://toddbaginski.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/SNAGHTML19e8d12b.png

Somehow its still trying to do an automatic merge in the background iof the Hyperv Manager, expecially if i start the VM, how can i stop this?

Any help is really appreciated

Best regards



copy vm template as a package

Hi all,

I want to give my VM template as package.

I have a SCVMM installed on Windows. I have created a custom Linux VM and is up and running. I have created a VM Template using this existing VM. The Template is generated (which is a folder with vhd files) and is available in the SCVMM library share.

Now I want to copy the Template folder to another Share, so as to enable people to copy the template from the share to deploy VMs in their setups. How can I do this?

I manually copied the folder with the vhd files to another SCVMM server, did a refresh Server. But the SCVMM is not showing the folder as a template.

Please share some light on copying this template to another host..

The link http://wiki.sqlis.com/default.aspx/SQLISWiki/PackageTemplates.html in similar post looks broken.

Thanks in advance,

Saleem

Not able to manage virtual machines when they are off in a Windows 2012 Hyper-V cluster environment

Hi I'm wondering if anyone else has encounter this weird problem: I have a 3-node Windows 2012 enterprise hyper-v cluster. If a virtual machine is shut off I can't manage it. When I right click on the virtual machine and choose Settings it gives me an error" Hyper-V encountered an error trying to access an object on computer "hyper-v-host1" because the object was not found". But if I move the virtual machine to a different node then everything will be fine(doesn't matter if I move it back or not). To me it feels like the host is not able to refresh the virtual machine's settings and by moving the VM it is able to refresh and let me change the settings after.

Any help is appreciated.

Hyper-V vEtherNet taking IP from DHCP

$
0

I am finding strange behavior of Hyperv 2012R2 host vEthernet. We have created VM network where multiple VLAN's are tagged for different projects. Now when I create those VM network it also create vEthernet. All these VLAN's are DHCP enabled so that VM's does PXE boot and connect to Citrix provisioning server.

But now I am seeing all the host which has vEthernet created also go and grab IP from this VLAN. This VLAN's IP are decided based on number of VM which will created. Say I have 10 VLAN's and 10 host

 I will vouch 10*10=100 IP's which is not fair . 

Is it the known behavior or we can control this ?

Problems installing Hyper-V on Windows 8.1

$

I was trying to set up a Mobile Development Environment in my system with Windows 8.1. I did not that know it was not a PRO version and I never wanted that PRO version until this point.

Windows emulator requires Hyper-V as a pre-requisite and Hyper-V cannot be installed in Windows 8.1 (it requires Windows 8.1 pro or higher)

Now, the only option that I see is, format the PC and fresh install Windows 8.1 Pro or higher but this is not a viable option to me because this is a working machine and it will waste my a day or two in configuring the environment.

Isn't there a standalone installer for Hyper-V where I should not format/reinstall my OS ?

Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kushal.

How do you protect Hyper v server and/or recover from a failed server?

$

I have an HP proliant DL180 G5 server with 20GB of RAM. It's running server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V role installed. VMs are installed on RAID 5 disks.

I have three VMs running on this server, WSUS, WDS, and PRINT server. I am thinking of virtualizing other servers, but before I do I would like to make sure I am prepared and ready when/if "it" hits the fan.

What are some good practices when it comes to having a disaster recovery plan for Hyper-V servers? For example, how would you prepare and ready your server in case the Hyper-V server fails/dies?

Alex

Virtual machine "crashing DNS Pool"

My home network crashes every time I try to start up a virtual machine in Hyper-V and also when I'm doing configuration of the network adaptors. Since my Television is IP based it also crashes at the same time. The tech support for my internet suggested that the Virtual machine in HyperV was "crashing the DNS pool"  but I have no clue what that means.  Does anyone know of what might cause this or possibly how to fix it?

Thanks

Application wont run in background

Hyper-V Virtual Server 2003 SP2.

I have a winform application set up to run as a scheduled task every 30 minutes.
The application starts on schedule but does not do any processing until I log into the virtual machine and show the form.
It is not waiting for a button click or anything; it just seems to wait until the form is rendered by logging in.
Is this normal? (I am new to virtual servers).



Updating Hyper-V host Integration Service

$

It seems that I'd get rid of this error log if I uninstall and reinstall the Integration Services from the windows 8.1 that I am running on Hyper-V 2008 R2.

I was wondering though, whether there is a procedure to do it other way around; I mean instead of removing the version 3.3 that came bundled with 8.1 image and downgrading to 3.0 ; upgrade the Hyper-V 2008 R2 to accept 3.3 integration service.

Powercut reverted VM to previous state

$

Hi

I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running Hyper-V.

I have several VMs running on it.

There was a powercut over the weekend which resulted in the machine being ungracefully switched off.

On restarting the machine, we found out that one of the VMs was reverted back to a state a few months ago which means we lost all changes since then to now.

Kindly advise if this is a bug or if some changes are to be made to ensure that this does not happen again.

 

Thanks in advance.

Virtual Machines loose network connectivity in Windows 2012 Hyper-V Cluster

$

0

Running a two node Hyper V cluster on Windows 2012. One of the nodes all the virtual machines stopped responding to network connections. Checking thru Hyper-V manager showed all nodes running correctly and no errors on the VMs.

Moving the VMs to the second node caused network issues to go away, all nodes working correctly. Moving a VM back to the first node caused its network to drop again. Rebooted first Hyper-V node and then moved VM back. Everything working.

No errors in the Hyper-V node or VM. VirtualNIC did not show any disconnects or errors. All very strange.

Servers are Dell 710 PowerEdge using Broadcom NetXtreme NICs.

can't add VM to Failover cluster after clonning with SYSPREP

Hi,

I installed 3 VM from W2012 Server eval. ISO

1.DC

2.W2012Node1

3.W2012Node2

created domain,  added machine to domain,added failover cluster future and created cluster with W2012Node1 and W2012Node2

to facillated future VM creattion I build VM "templlate" = VM_template

on VM_tempalte I installed W2012 Server eval. then in "add futures" added failover cluser, and net 3.5 support(needed for installation of SQL2012)

then used SYSPREP to created  clear clone of VM and saved.

created  2 copy of  VM_template file and created 2 more VM, W2012Node3 and W2012Node4 and added then to domain.

on W2012Node3  I choose ..create new cluster browse ...

In available machines  can see only

DC,

W2012Node1

W2012Node2

W2012Node3

W2012Node4 is not availabe!

I tried to create new cluster from W2012Node4 and got same result ,W2012Node4 is not visible

in DC -->active directories I can see all the computers  including W2012Node4

Why W2012Node4 is not visibible from for cluster?

Can I modify some setting on W2012Node4 to make it visible for cluster ?
