Hi Team ,

I am using Blade server with Two Broadcom BCM57800 NetXtream 10 G ports . Both Network card configured in one team with Switch independent and Hyper-v Port configuration using Windows Native teaming.

I upgraded the firmware driver of network card to the latest level and then after Hyper-v Team stop responding.

i am using Single virtual Switch with one vNIC so hyper-v can talk to mgmt LAN on Vlan X.

as an work around i break the team and configure one nic for Mgmt IP  and other for VDItraffic (Virtual Switch)

please let me know if any one face similar issue and able to resolved it.

Thanks

Ravi

Hi,

according to the official documentation of Microsoft, Hyper-V does not block Sleep and Hibernate on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

From powercfg I get the following output:

The following sleep states are not available on this system:
    Standby (S1)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
                Hypervisor

    Standby (S2)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
                Hypervisor

    Standby (S3)
        An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
                Hypervisor

    Hibernate
        An internal system component has disabled hibernation.
                Hypervisor

    Standby (Connected)
        The hypervisor does not support this standby state.
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

    Hybrid Sleep
        Standby (S3) is not available.
        Hibernation is not available.
        The hypervisor does not support this standby state.

    Fast Startup
        Hibernation is not available.
I already installed a graphics device driver to prevent the graphics device from blocking Sleep and Hyper-V. So this should not be an issue. 
What can I do to enable Sleep and Hibernate?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi,

The setup is that I have host server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard with all updates installed and running Hyper-V. Hyper-V has 1 guest OS running also Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. I have shared internet from host server with Internet Connection Sharing as shown below.

The guest OS has working network connectivity. I have tested it with pinging 8.8.8.8.

The problem starts when I try to access Windows update on guest OS. The main server running Hyper-V network goes down and I get disconnect notice from RDP and after a while networking is resumed with RDP. I can reproduce this problem everytime I try to use Windows update on guest OS.

In Event Viewer I can see that there are same messages shown everytime this happens. Here are the messages:

The description for Event ID 27 from source e1iexpress cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: 

Intel(R) 82580 Gigabit Network Connection

the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

6to4 interface 6TO4 Adapter with address 2002:670f:1c0a::670f:1c0a has been brought up.

Name resolution for the name ipv6.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

I have already disabled IPv6 support from all NICs on host server and guest OS. Also host servers NIC driver should be up-to-date.

When googling around I can find similiar problems but I can't find solution. If someone could help me it would be great!

Thank you

I have been running into an interesting but an alarming issue with virtual switches. I have recently built a 4 node Server 2012 Hyper-V failover cluster. I have built numerous 2008R2 and 2012 Hyper-V clusters before, so I am pretty familiar with the process. I have rebuilt my VMM due to software problems, and on this new cluster, I have configured the virtual switches with nic teaming on 2 of the virtual switches.

I have 4 clusters being managed by this VMM.. and this newly built cluster keeps losing all of the VMM virtual switch configurations, meaning if I go to properties on the problem host and click on virtual switches, its blank. Refresh host cluster flags all virtual machines in this cluster as "Unsupported Configuration," making the vm unmanageable via VMM. 

All virtual servers on that host still has connectivity, as all virtual switch configs are normal when looking at it with Hyper-V Manager or Failover Cluster Manager..

The workaround is to evacuate the host using Failover Cluster Manager and reboot the host. Then refresh the host. Then refresh the VM's. I cannot consider this a 'workaround' as I cannot be rebooting my hyper-V hosts every week.. and migrating virtual servers constantly just for this reason. (DPM backups have a FIT with csv's if it tries to backup a vm on a same csv as another vm thats being migrated.)

I have been wrestling with this problem for a few weeks now. The cluster has been slicked and completely rebuilt.. Still same problems. Has ANYONE else out there seen this issue? Does ANYONE out there suggest a way to go about further troubleshooting this issue? 

Hi,

We are building a new Hyper-V infratructure, based on Windows Server 2012 Datacanter and multiple HP ML350p Gen8 servers. We've been deploying lost of Server 2012 Hyper-V projects lately (all HP G6 servers), without any problems at all, but this project is a real pain:

We are unable to install the Hyper-V role on any server, at all! There's four of them! All hosts are HP ML350p Gen8, Server 2012 Datacenter, latest updates/firmware/drivers (HP SPP 2012.10.0). BIOS settings are correct/verified for virtualization.
We simply install Hyper-V via Server Manager without any modifications (not selecting any network adapters either, this is all done later using Virtual Network ).

The installation reboots the server, and during boot, the installation fails. After reboot, the Server Manager sais there's been an unexpected error, and have a nice day.

I've been digging through the CBS.log file, and there a very small ERROR portion during installation:

It's hard to find any information on this subject. The CBS log contains 4 MB of information, but only this portion contains Errors. I really hope somebody can help us out, because all we need is Hyper-V... and it refuses to install on any machine.

hi friends

can we map our physical system’s wireless NIC into virtual machines in hyper-v 2008 R2 and/or hyper-v 2012 R2 ? 
in my system i have a real wireless NIC. Now can i create a wireless NIC inside VMs? (Because if we want to test wireless sniffers applications inside vm, they need a wireless NIC inside the VM to sniff packets).

thanks in advance

Good evening,
Im currently setting up a test domain where I want to use multiple subnets.

My current setup is the following

- Host PC running Hyper-V manager with 1 physical NIC that connects to my router (192.168.0.1)

- Virtual Machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 - This is my domain controller aswell as DNS and DHCP server. IP address for this is 192.168.0.200

Now what im wanting to do is also create 2 more domain controllers but 'pretent' that they are in two completely different locations running off multiple subnets. Lets say one is in America and one is in Australia.

I want the addresses of these two machines the following

DC (America) - 192.168.1.1
DC (Australia) - 192.168.2.1

The reason i'll be doing this is im going to be working with Sites and Services to give me a better understanding of it.

Please can someone give me help with how I can achieve this.

Thanks.

hi frinds

as i studies, Data execution prevention (DEP) is a security feature to block viruses.

i don't understand what the relationship between this feature & virtualization.

what it is a prerequisit for hyper-v virtualization?

any help or usefull link to read about this relation?

thanks in advance

Hello,

I have 2 Physical Servers in my Production Environment, Server 1 and Server 2 are Windows 2008R2 installed and Both servers config hyper v role. In Hyper V

Server 1 - Sec AD Server, ERP Server, Lync Server, Exchange Server and another ERP Server.

Server 2 - Primary AD(PDC), File Server, Kaspersky Server, System Log Server, Help Desk Server, Call Capturing SMDR Server.

My question is, i wants to format Server 1 (Physical Server) and re-install Windows Server 2008R2, Before that i wants to move all the Hyper-V Machines to Server 2 (Physical Server) without losing data. What are the best solution for my requirement?

Regards,

Hi,

i am using windows 2008 R2 Hyper V. I have configured two physical nics in my server having different subnets like 10.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x. How to configure these two nics in Hyper V machines.

Thanks

Hi

I have a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server with 192gb RAM running @ 1800mhz, 2 x Xeon E2650 v2, and for VMs, a SATA 7200RPM disk (4tb, no RAID).

I'm running 70 or so VMs, all on, and I'm the only user of the system so no load (of course for things like SQL Server, it still runs timer jobs which access databases, etc). VMs are a mix of SQL Servers, ADFS, AD DS, cert authorities, Sharepoint, System Center, and lots more.

On all VMs, they are very choppy and jerky. Would this be a disk bottleneck? Memory CPU look good. If it is disk, what perf counters can I use to establish this? 

I'm looking to get 2 X 4TB SAS disks (also 7200rpm) in RAID 0 or 1. Would this perform much better?

Thanks

I noticed that after setting up HyperV Server 2012 R2, that after applying needed firewall rules to allow remote management, that these were added into the "Public" profile. So, I disabled them and enabled for Private and proceeded to change the NIC which is internal to the LAN to Private as well.

All was good; however, after several hours... the network category reverted to Public on that NIC, which of course will not allow any remote management.

The firewall rules for remote management are only enabled for "Private".

I used: Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex # -NetworkCategory Private

Which works; however, what is causing it to revert to public after a given amount of time...

anybody already got a script done to speed up deploying new virtual machines 

this would be handy for setting up a new rack of servers

Hi.

I have a Hyper-V 2012 cluster with 5 nodes. All HP Blade servers in the same enclosure, on 3PAR FC SAN storage. I wanted to run routine maintenance on the hosts, i.e., Windows Update. So I Live Migrated the VMs off one host at a time, paused it in Failover Cluster Manager, rebooted, unpaused, and failed the roles back manually.

After updating the second host, I decided to fail the roles back when unpausing. The instant one of the VMs moved back to this host, it failed to start, and got a red X in FCM.

The VM had 2 virtual disks. I removed one, leaving only the system disk. When I started it, it ran CHKDSK a couple of times and eventually came back, appearing to be healthy (a miracle!). But I cannot add the second VHDX to the VM. It throws an error:

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a too basic question. I'm trying to understand how our system works as I'm not the one that set it up in the first place. The Firewall crashed today and needed rebooted. When connected to the the server it says "Kernel-Power" and ID 41 so to me it sounds like the server shut down unexpectedly but I'm not sure. When the Firewall was rebooted everything was working fine again. So I have several questions that I'm thinking of. How can I figure out what really happened? Did the server shut down or was it just the firewall? Is it possible that the server (or client computers) sent information through the firewall, the firewall's cache got fully loaded and couldn't give a response and because the server didn't get a response it rebooted and the firewall crashed? Sounds unlikely, doesn't it. I maybe should say that when the firewall was down, as I said, I could access the server through RDC but the firewall was completely inaccessible so I had to press the physical power button to restart the Firewall. And the last week the network overall has been going very slow (which I tried to resolve yesterday by rebooting the routers that we have and that seemed to work).

Thankful for any ideas!
