I am running Server 2012 R2 with the Hyper-V role enabled. I have two guest VM's both are Server 2012 R2.

The integration services has been installed on both and all the integration services have been enabled via Hyper-V console. I am trying to use Windows Server Backup to backup both the VM's only, however when I try I see the following errors;

From the Windows Server Backup log;

"Failed No valid volume or coponent to snapshot"

And from Windows Event Viewer;

Hyper-V Host with a total of 4 NICs - Teaming?

0
0

Hello, I have a single Windows 2012 R2 server (Host) that will be running 3 VMs for 15 to 20 users. One VM server will be the main domain controller and the other 2 will be a SQL server and a Remote Desktop server.  I have 2 onboard gigabyte adapters and 2 gigabyte adapters on an add-in card, the 4 adapters are the all the same model, just to give you as much info as possible. I’m reading a ton of articles and it’s making my head spin.  The host server will be doing nothing but running the virtual machines and not connected to any domain.  In these articles they talk about having one NIC for the host to do management and some say that you don’t need to do this and can team all of the adapters and then designate a host adapter. The goal for me is to provide the best configuration for performance and reliability. With the changes to Windows 2012 R2, Hyper-V and NIC teaming I may be getting a little confused in my thought process since I haven’t run through this yet, here is what I’m thinking.

  1. Do I just take all 4 adapters and team them on the host and set the host IP address on the newly created team?
  2. Create a new VM switch and attach it to the teamed adapter.
  3. Create a new VM Network adapter for the DC, SQL and Remote Desktop VM servers with minimum bandwidth weight specified.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated before I start loading up the server.  Thanks Ryan.



Question: Easy way to find Virtual Machine Configuration file associated with each VM?

0
0

Guys - quick question. I have a Hyper-V 2008 Host where I am manually moving the VMs to a Hyper-V 2012 R2 Host. I've been able to move the machines, by exporting the VM and then finding the appropriate Virtual Machine xml file. The one snag that I have is that the previous admin has the xml file for ALL virtual machines on the host located in the default \VirtualMachines folder. As you all know the files are listed using a GUID (ex: 79E8CB8E-6B7F-429B-B70C-8AD0E807435D.xml)

Other than manually opening each .xml file in notepad and verifying which VM it is associated with, is there a way for me to find which xml file is associated with each VM (perhaps via powershell or a script)?

Appreciate the help!

thanks!

Hyper-V Replica - Enabling Replication Failed

0
0

Hi,



I have two 2012 R2 Hyper-V clusters which have had a replica broker configured and replica enabled on one VM which worked fine over http. It was then required to change the replica broker name, so the broker from each cluster was removed and a new one created in each cluster with the new name and with the old IP addresses.



Now when we attempt to enable replica on one of the VMs we recieve the error below.



Enabling replication failed.

Hyper-V failed to enable replication.

Hyper-V failed to authenticate using Kerberos authentication.

Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'servername': The target principal name is incorrect. (0x80090322).(Virtual machine ID 4C8EADE0-82DC-4F25-8B95-5BE04A4A20F1)

Hyper-V failed to authenticate the Replica server servername.domain.com using Kerberos authentication. Error: The target principle name is incorrect. (0x80090322)

I have looked at the SPN for each of the hyper-v nodes involved and the broker accounts and all of them seem to have the correct SPNs including



Hyper-V Replica Service/servername

Hyper-V Replica Service/servername.mydomain.com

Microsoft Virtual Console Service/servername

Microsoft Virtual Console Service/servername.mydomain.com

Microsoft Virtual System Migration Service/servername

Microsoft Virtual System Migration Service/servername.mydomain.com



I have also check DNS for duplicate entry's and check the account delegation for the hyper-v hosts and the destination hosts have the source host with cifs, http, hyper-v replica service, Microsoft virtual console service and Microsoft Virtual System Migration Services which is more than I think they need. This is not however configured on

the broker accounts.





Domain functional level is only 2003 because there are a couple of old DC's as well as 2012 but it was working before so not sure that is a problem. Any help would greatly be appreciated this is driving me mad!



Kind Regards Michael


Cannot connect to the Virtual machine

0
0
Its over three days I wasted trying to figure out what's wrong, with no luck. I have windows 8.1 Pro 64bit installed and I am trying create a virtual machine using Hyper V. Every time I get an error "Cannot connect to the virtual Machine". I read several threads. Installed and Un-installed HyperV several times. Made several changes to VM setting, but nothing helped. I can see in Preview Pan the new virtual machine is trying load OS (Windows 8) and is asking for information, bit nothing on main screen. Please help, if some one can? 

How to manage a Hyper-V 2012R2 Host from Windows 7?

0
0

AFAIK This is the official Hyper-V Manager for Windows 7: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7887 it explicitly lists Hyper-V versions up to 2008R2, there is no mention of 2012 or 2012R2, and from trying to connect to my new Hyper-V 2012R2 I can confirm that it doesn't want to work.

From reading the docs on Hyper-V 2012/2012R2 remote management I've come to the conclusion that its only possible with Windows 8+ or Server 2012+ , but it cannot be used to manage Hyper-V 2008/2008R2...

Someone please tell me that this is just one big mistake on my part and that the product owner for Hyper-V at Microsoft is not this stupid...

How to configure the server 2012 with NAT settings & 3 public IP addresses

0
0

Hi everybody,

I received this from my ISP:

----------------

Here's your IP informationMain IP: 70.164.1.165Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 70.164.1.1

DNS1: 68.4.16.30

DNS2: 68.6.16.30

2 additional usable IP's Natted to 70.164.1.165

Usable IP's 70.182.178.97 & 98

Subnet Mask if needed: 255.255.255.252

If you are using one server use 70.164.1.165 as the main IP then add/bind 70.182.178.97 & 98 to the NIC.

For Linux Servers

Network 70.182.178.96

Broadcast 70.182.178.99

If you are using a firewall or router, please make sure you are using 70.164.1.165 on the WAN interface, you can use / NAT 70.182.178.97 & 98 to your server(s).

Main IP can also be natted to your server. 

Please make sure shared IP hosting is utilized to conserve IP addresses per ARIN requirements.

-----------------

I have a Dell server, setup with Server 2012 DataCenter.

I plan to run two VM's running ASP.NET web applications connected using the two additional IP addresses.

I assume I should setup the VM Host to the base address .165 - simple enough no problem and I know how to setup the VM's on their own separate network and I can access the internet - no issues with that.

How do I setup the additional public addresses since they have to pass through the Main address to the correct VM?

I have googled for a few days and my ISP tech people look at me like I want to extract their teeth.  Their answer is to sell me a router and set it up.  This really does not seem that hard a task.

Hyper-V Replication fails across a VPN

0
0

I set up Hyper-V replication between two servers (Server 2012 Standard, and Hyper-V Server 2012) on the same subnet. Using Kerberos authentication on port 80, replication worked perfectly on site. I then moved one server offsite (different AD site with different subnet) that is connected by a site-to-site VPN. Hyper-V Replication is only working in one direction. In the opposite direction, I keep getting this error:

Enabling Replication Failed. Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'MACHINENAME': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

I haven’t had much luck searching on this error.

-No bad entries in DNS
-Domain Controllers with DNS are available in each site.
-Sites and Services, and their subnets are set up correctly
-No Routing problems, both sites can “talk” to each other, each server can ping each other by name
-The windows server firewalls are off
-Remote desktop and remote management are working from server to server.
-The VPN should not be blocking any ports or services, AFAIK.
-Port scanning shows 80 and 135 are open on each side.

I'm making my site-to-site VPN with Cisco hardware to Sonicwall hardware. Anything I should look for in my VPN config? Ports? Any help is appreciated.


Windows Update Whakyness

I am setting up a new 2 node cluster. When I run the cluster validation report I get this warning,http://1drv.ms/1pgh44d.

I ran the Cluster-Aware Updating, it says they are both up to date. When I go to the console of the server, sconfig, then check for updates, it says there are none. How do I resolve this on a core install?

Thanks,

Windows Server 2012 - Can occasionally not access second virtual hard drive inside a VM

0
0

I run Windows Server 2012 RTM Hyper-V and I can occasionally not access the second virtual hard drive (dynamically expanding VHDX) attached to the VM through the virtual SCSI controller. I can however access the first hard drive that is connected with the virtual IDE controller.

I get the following warning in the event log under “Administrative Events” every 30 seconds when this happens:

  • Log Name: System
  • Source: Storvsc
  • ID: Storvsc
  • Message: “Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.”

I get this error once or twice a week and it has caused serious problems since one of the virtual servers that have this problem is a fileserver and the second hard drive contains all the data.

The only quick solution to the problem that I have found is to force the virtual machine to stop using the “Turn Off” feature since a normal shut down does not work (stops at shutting down the event log or similar) and then start the virtual machine again.

You can also wait for about 30 minutes or longer until the disk for some reason becomes accessible again by itself.

My research into this problem shows that:

  • Only 2 of the 10 VMs running Windows Server 2012 RTM that I have, have this problem.
  • Both these VMs have a second virtual hard drive (dynamically expanding VHDX) that cannot be accessed for 30 minutes or longer.
  • Check Disk of the virtual hard drive shows no errors.
  • The second hard drive is attached to the virtual SCSI controller.
  • I can find no problems at all with the physical storage on the (not related) 4 hosts that I have. The problem exists only in the VMs.

I have now attached the second virtual hard drive to the virtual IDE controller to see if this permanently fixes this problem (i.e. does not happen for at least a week).

Is there something wrong with the virtual SCSI controller or the virtual SCSI device driver that comes with Windows Server 2012 RTM? Does anyone else have this problem?

Unknown adapters showing in Hyper-V host

Hi,

I have a Windows 8.1 Enterprise host with Hyper-V (gen2) running a Server 2012 R2 guest. I have noticed that Hyper-V creates many different network adapters on the host and I'd like to know what is the purpose of these adapters, and if they can be safely deleted.

"TAP-Windows Adapter V9"
"TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS"
"TAP-Windows Adapter V9 #2"
"TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS #2"
"TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS #3"

When I dsiable them, they keep reenabling themselves. Searched the Internet and only thing I found is about OpenVPN, which I do not use. So what are they used for, really?

Not that it causes some problems, but I like to keep my things clean and keep control of what is going on...

Thanks in advance



Virtual Machine Start Up Connectivity Issue

0
0

I have 2 VMs each on 2 Hyper V 2012 R2 Hosts. The hosts are completely identical in hardware with 2 x 4-port 1Gb BroadCom NetXtreme adapters on which I disabled VMQ about 2 months ago when the Forefront VM was inexplicably and randomly losing connectivity.

Each host has a Windows Server 2012 R2 DC VM and a Windows Server 2008 SP2 member server VM (One member server VM is running Exchange 2010 SP3 and the other Forefront TMG 2010 SP2). The Exchange member server in particular has me puzzled since about a week now. Every time the Hyper-V host is restarted and this VM is started up too, either automatically or manually, it will lack true connectivity. To be sure, it shows its connection as connected but it will not be reachable or be able to reach any other system. Furthermore, any attempt to make changes to its settings will stall for a few minutes and eventually fail. Any attempt to run any program or management tool in it will lead to nothing; even TaskManager will not load.

Also, it will not shutdown or power off by Hyper-V Manager or PowerShell as it will just hang on shutting down. The only way out is to shutdown the host, which more times than not will hang and be unable to shut down cleanly because of this same situation. I then have to power off the host physically. The only work around I have found so far is to disconnect the VM's adapter from its virtual switch before starting it up, wait until it is fully booted and then reconnect the adapter to the virtual switch. This way it will have true connectivity and remain so for as long as it is up.

Does any one have an idea of what may be wrong please?

Please note: the virtual switch is bound to an adapter port that is not shared with the management OS and the virtual switch is dedicated to the VM's virtual adapter, no other VM shares the virtual switch with it.

Troubleshooting Slow Virtual Machines

Friends:

I am struggling with very slow virtual machines.

I have Windows Server 2012 installed on a Dell T620.  It has two Intel Xeon E5-2650 2.00GHz chips (20M Cache, 8.0GT/s QPI, Turbo) and 64 G of 1600 MHz RDIMMS.  It is set up with two RAID arrays (RAID 1 for OS with two 300G 10k SAS drives; RAID 5 for server stuff with four 600G 10k SAS drives) running on a PERC H710 Adapter RAID Controller (512MB NV Cache).

There are two virtual servers running on the box.  One is the domain controller and the other hosts a SQL-based practice management program.  The "physical server" hosts HyperV etc.

There are 5 or 6 virtual workstations, each running Win8.1E with one virtual CPU and dynamic RAM allocations of up to 8192MB.

HyperV has two virtual switches ("RDS Virtual" and "Intel I350 Gigabit Network Connection - Virtual Switch").  (I don't actually know why it is set up that way.)

I wonder whether anyone can help me trouble-shoot my poor performance?

Hyper-v 2012 reverse replication failing

Hi,

I've configured hyper-v replica on both of my win 2012 servers. Initial replication has started successfully and the replica vm is created correctly on the replica server. Now I'm trying to simulate an unplanned failover. I turned off the production vm and enabled "failover" under replica VM. Now i'm able to select a recovery point and the vm is start up now on the replica server. Now i bring the production vm  up now. Then i tried to restore the  latest changes on "replica vm" by using "reverse replication" on replica vm. But i'm getting  error, please see the attached screen-shot to see the error.

Server is reachable on both sides. Port 443 is opened and telnet to 443 is working.

Has anyone considered using the new replication features of Hyper-V 2012 as a DR/HA solution for a Sharepoint 2010 farm? Is this possible? Good idea? Bad idea?

Windows 2012 R2 hyper-v network unable to connect to outside resources

0
0
Today, I went and upgraded a Windows 2008 R2 machine to 2012 R2.  I did a clean install and have never seen this problem before in this fashion.  It is a HP 370G6 with an HP NC375I quad card.  Only 1 adapter is in use, so it is not teamed.  After installing, none of my VM's will communicate to outside resources.  I got the Windows 2012 R2 update package from HP dated 4/14.  My virtual switch manager is set to Allow management operating system to share this adapter.  The adapter type is set to External.  After playing around with 1 guest, I finally have it communicating with the rest of the network.  However, my other guests will not.  I have checked all IP's multiple times, no differences but the last octet.  I can not figure out what is allowing my 1 guest to now communicate, but the others to not.  It is driving me crazy!  I have tried adding and removing the adapter several times, and also tried using the Legacy NIC to no avail

Network adapter configuration error after quick migrate of stopped VM in 2012

0
0

We've got a couple of Windows 2012 / Hyper-V 3 clusters, and I have a problem with network adapters on them.

If the VM is powered off, and I move it to another host (quick migration via Failover Cluster Manager), the network adapter loses its connection to the virtual switch - it turns to "Configuration Error".

If it's powered on, both live migration and quick migration work fine.

It's possible to demonstrate on an empty VM. I created a new VM via the Failover Cluster Manager (ie not via Hyper-V manager on one of the nodes). One NIC, attached to the single VSwitch we have. Not much memory, disk. Don't need to install an OS.

Quick migrate with the power off, and it fails to pick up the VSwitch on the next host.

Turn it on, and live migration and quick migration both work fine.

Is this supposed to happen, or a buglet in 2012?


Is site-to-site VPN required for Hyper-V Replica?

0
0

I am trying to figure out if a site-to-site VPN is required to do Hyper-V Replica from one site to another site over the Internet? If it is not required, is the security built into Hyper-V Replica sufficient enough to be exposed directly to the Internet? Thanks for your help understanding this.

Regards,

Warren-G2
