Virtual Machine Load Balancing

$
0
0
I have two Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V servers running in a cluster and I have VMM 2012 R2 running in the environment. I want to setup my cluster so the VM's will load balance between my two hosts. How can I go about doing that? I've read that it's possible but I've been unable to figure out how to get the hosts to load balance.

Hi,

Is that possible to move a Cluster Shared Volume (dedicated to 1 VM) with its associated VM together if the VM live migrates to another node ?

I try to find a way on Internet but nothing ...

Thank you for the answer :-)

Deploying VM using VM template in SCVMM 2012

Hi experts,

I have SCVMM 2012 running on Windows Server 2012 R1.

I have a custom linux VM running on it with two disks.I created a VM template using this VM.

But I have a large disk of size 160GB. So when I deploy a VM using this template, the copy operation is taking a very long time of 3 hours approx. to complete.This is very long, even if I run the SCVMM server in the Same Windows Server.

Any pointers on how to reduce this time?

I even disabled Encryption and used BITS over HTTP. But that does not reduce the time much.

Thanks in advance,

Saleem

Hello, I would like to have up to 10 guests on my machine all running windows 7 or 8 os and able to play minecraft or stracraft 1 maybe perhaps even stracraft 2 for me and some friends

 

I would have to do passthrough of my video card using remoteFX vGPU?

 

I currently have dual x5650, 48 gigs of ram, 1tb ssd, and an x58 x8 series supermicro mobo capable of vt-d

 

Also what graphics card is best suited for remoteFX vGPU?  Can I use a gtx 580 or above like gtx 680?  Or is ATI/AMD graphic cards better for this?

Is it possible to live migrate a virtual machine that is using a Shared VHDX?

Can't access Web Site, super slowly and time out!

Hi all,

I am using Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V, HP DL360 G6 Server

The Master OS have a NIC1 to VLAN1 Switch (Also in the Cisco SG300 Switch)
Plus other NIC2 connect to Cisco SG300 28 Switch (Running in L3 Mode), this Cisco then connect  to a SonicWALL NSA 2400.
I build some VLAN31 on SonicWALL NSA 2400, and add this to the Cisco SG300 as Truck Port connect Both...
Other Port on the SG300 are untouch, so mean default running mode is Truck mode, and one of it port connect to the NIC2 to the Server ...

Ok, if Hyper-V VM, not enable VLAN in the Hyper-V Management in 2012 R2, it can take the DHCP from the SonicWALL NSA 2400 no problems, can see other LAN (VLAN1) machine well both direction, and go to Internet too.

But, if I setting the VLAN31 on Hyper Manager to some VM, it can take the DHCP and take the IP from SonicWALL for this VALN31, include DNS, GW etc...
But ... it just can ping internet, for example, ping www.yahoo.com it ok, but open IE, enter www.yahoo.com will super super slowly and time out, if running CentOS 6.5 Linux, enter yum update, it total not work, time out, 0.2kb/s etc. But it can ping to www.yahoo.com no problems...

And If Windows run routert www.yahoo.com, over 10s to see next hub ...
I am double checked SonicWALL NSA2400 Firewall Policy is allow all VLAN and LAN to WAN, and VLAN TO VLAN too..

What is wrong on the Hyper-V VLAN? Do I am setting wrong of my switch port mode (Access/Trunking)?

I am now out of direction what is go on to troubleshooting this.

Thank you.

VM client hijacks internet from another VM

$

Hi,

I'm running 2008 R2 Enterprise, we have 3 VMs (2 server 2008 R2 and one Server 2003 R2) that are all running nicely. They can be seen on the network, can see the internet and can be accessed via the internet.

I'm trying to add two more servers to the same host, a 2008 Web Edition and a 2003 R2.

Individually each server works fine, but if both are running at the same time the 2003 R2 seems to hijack the internet connection from the 2008 Web edition.

If the 2008 Web server is running, then I start the 2003 server, after a period of time that seems to vary the web server looses it's connection and I can then connect to the 2003 server.

This is possibly being triggered when I try and access a website on the 2003 R2 server (MSCRM 3), I'm not totally sure of this yet.

The 2003 server is a copy of a VM that is already running on the host, but I get the same behavior running on a different host with only these two clients.

To get the 2008 server back on line I need to shutdown the 2003 server, then restart the 2008 server while the 2003 server is shut down. Eventually it comes back online. Disconnecting the 2003 server or pausing doesn't help, it needs to be shutdown!

Any ideas would be welcome.

Installed Windows server 2012 r2 Standard Core-GUI edition and activated using the OEM sticker key. On OEM sticker it mentions supports 2 VMs. But when activating virtual machine the same activation key is not being accepted. The guest OS being installed is Windows Server 2008.

From where to get Activation keys for Virtual machines?

VM's resetting randomly

I have a 3 node Server 2012 R2 cluster and I'm seeing VM's randomly resetting and an error 1069 is logged in the cluster errors. Some of the VM's that have reset have older (Server 2012) integration tools but a number that have reset are up to date.

The VM's have been very stable on our Server 2012 cluster and have only started doing this since they were migrated across last week.

Hello,

We have 2 HyperV 2012R2 Servers. Each of them, for load balancing, runs different VMs. Can we set them to replicate to each other their VMs?

If so, what shall we consider?

Hi All,

I have 160 GB internal hard disk and I have installed hyperv server 2012 r2 in it. While installation everything is fine, but after reboot, it automatically shows "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen and shows page for repair options. I changed my ISO file, burned it to USB and DVD too. I also have formatted my hard disk with active kill disk ISO to make sure my hard disk is completely free. Still the same issue. This is the fourth time I formatted my hard disk and same issue happens everytime. Can anyone please help me?

How many host can hyper-v support ?

Hi everyone, I understand Hyper-V works with 2 host running replication between both machines. 

I'm exploring the option to add on 2 more host due to not enough resources. Would the 2 new host be running as another Hyper-V and is there any way to integrate with the current Hyper-V ?

VMQ Enabled But Not Working

$

I'm totally lost on this one...

We have 4 Hyper-V Host servers; DL560 Gen8s. All of them are identical except two have 2 x 1GB 4 Port 366FLR cards, and the other two have 1 x 1GB 4 Port 366FLR card + 1 x 10GB 2 port 530T card. All the Nics fully support VMQs and are enabled y default. All the servers are running Server 2012, fully patched, and the firmware and Nic drivers are the latest.

The servers with just the 366FLR cards use VMQs perfectly, without any issue. The other two show all the right settings, but the VMQs are not used.

I've tried taking the 10GB cards out of the equation and just run on the 366FLRs, but still the VMs do not use VMQs. I've even upgraded one of them to server 2012 R2, and still no luck.

Here the outputs from powershell...

I've checked the registry and RssorVMQPreference key are all set to 1. Also the VMs have use VMQs ticked for the virtual adapter.

So my question is: If the hardware supports VMQs, the NICs and vNICs have VMQ enabled, the base processors and max processors are set, what else can I check to see why they are not being used???

Cheers,

Andrew

Hyper-V NIC team, v-switch, VLAN, LACP question

$
0
0
Question: Two NIC teams or one?

Specifics:

I am considering two scenarios. The first because I want to control everything through software/logical means and the second because I think the first scenario is not Microsoft best practice.

1) Create one eight member NIC team using LACP/Dynamic hashing. Create multiple team NICs (tNICs), each on their own VLAN as required, binding the default tNIC (default VLAN) to a v-switch to be managed by Hyper-V. I would then use the other tNICs for the various management, storage, etc. VLANs that the host uses.

or...

2) Create two NIC teams, one for host traffic and one to be bound to Hyper-V. I do not like this as much because it does not allow bandwidth be be as dynamically used as the first scenario (in theory) since I have to provision the amount of physical NICs ahead of time. More chance to over/under subscribe either of the teams.

I know the second scenario is supported based on documentation, blogs etc. but I have not read anything about the first possibility.

Thoughts?

No network on host or client

Hi,

I'm running a VM with Windows Server 2012 in 64 bit mode. The host is a Windows 8.1 box. I have created an external network switch which connects to the wireless of my laptop.

Here's what happens when I boot the VM:

- The machine starts and connects to the network

- Network connection succeedes

- Host now loses internet connectivity, although IP settings seem to be fine

- When I troubleshoot the network connection (or ipconfig /release /renew), internet connectivity on the host is restored but connectivty on the client is lost

- Performing the same operations on the client causes the host to lost connectivity and the client to regain it

I can repeat that over and over, there is no situation in which both host and client have internet connectivity. I also tried removing the external switch, replacing it by an internal one and bridging that with my wireless. That has the same effect as I believe it's also the same thing hyper-v does.

IP settings on both the host and client seem fine, also do not change between connectivity and no connectivity. I have no further idea on where to look.

Hi I'm in process of migration of existing 10 old physical machines with Windows 2003 servers installed to new Hyper-V 2012r2 environment. Customer have open license agreement on existing windows 2003 servers. What licenses do i need if we P2V old windows 2003 machines to 2 node hyper-v cluster. It's possible to migrate existing licenses of windows 2003 to free Hyper-V server 2012r2 cluster without breaking the license agreement?

Or we have to buy standard or datacenter licenses for Hyper-V servers?

Thank you for answering.
