VERY High Pages/s on Hyper-V

$
0
0

I have recently started working for a new organisation.

The have a Hyper-V server (HP ProLiant DL580 G7, 4x10 core CPUs, 128 GB RAM) running few guest servers that do very little, but one of them is the primary SCCM 2012 server (32GB allocated), and performance is very poor.

We recently added WSUS to this server, and the performance is noticeably worse.

Performance monitor has just shown me pages/s peaking at 16,500, with an average of 250!

This is since we doubled the RAM last night and set SQL to use between 16-24GB ram.

Can anyone confirm if the pages/s is definitely indicative of insufficient RAM, as many articles i have read state?

There is sufficient capacity on the Hyper-V to double the RAM on the SCCM guest, but that means downtime and changes submitting.

Available memory is almost static, holding at above 12 gb free, no correlation with the pages/s spikes,

CPU is 40% average, min 16% min, 76% max - This is a little high i would say, and as the host has 40 cores, and this guest only 6, I am looking at upping them, but again this requires planned downtime.

The guest is likely to be quite loaded as it is a distribution point for SCCM. I would appreciate advice on which network counters should be monitored.

What else can i check/change?




Secure erase on storage LiveMigration

$

0
We provide multi-tenant VM via SCVMM managed Hyper-V clusters. We have a requirement to erase all customer data not in use. For a VHD that is "deprovisioned", we can use SysInternals sDelete to erase the VHD. However, I need to identify a way to erase the storage after a storage LiveMigration. Now, the VHD gets deleted without any way to hook in and sDelete first. Has anyone encountered this requirement and solved it?

Powershell hyper-v module can't be installed (imported)

hi friends

Urgent Help needed

I have a windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise edition which i have upgraded its Powershell 2.0 to PS 4.0 (by installing .net 4.5.1 & WMF 4.0).

Now i need to use Hyper-V module to manage my VMs. when i look at %windir%\system32\windowsPowershell\V1.0\Modules,  there is no "Hyper-v" module folder, so i tried both following tasks but none of them works:

1- I downloaded PSHyperv.zip from Codeplex& extracted its contents into"$PSHome\Modules" directory. but the folder is not listed when i run "Get-module -ListAvailable" & also "import-module Hyper-V" doesn't work. both commands fails (encounter errors)

2- I have another systems with windows 2012 R2 Datacenter * Windows 8.1 ultimate. i copied their "Hyper-V" folder from Modules Directory & paste them in my windows 2008 "$PSHome\Modules" separately.

This time in both Cases, When i run "Get-module -ListAvailable" system shows "Hyper-v" in the list of available module but again when i run "import-module Hyper-V", i encounter Error.

any help please

thanks in advanced

Windows 7 Hyper V Guest Network Connectivity

$

Hello (I posted this question over in the Microsoft VM Converter forum, not sure if that's the right place)

I am using Hyper-V Manager in Server 2012 R2 and have created guest vm's that are Windows 8 and Windows 10.  All work fine and can connect to the network and have internet access (this is a dev environment).  However, when I create a Windows 7 guest, it does not pickup an IP from DHCP and I cannot get it to connect at all.  Ive tried the following:

1.  Installed Integration Services setup.

2.  Used both legacy and non legacy network adapters.

3.  Uninstalled/reinstalled HyperV network adapter in guest OS

4.  Disabled IPv6 in guest OS.

5.  Set static IP address in guest OS and reserved in DNS.

6.  Manually assigned DNS server in guest OS.

I then tried to create a guest Win7 OS on my Windows 8.1 host and experience the same issue, no connectivity.  In both instances I get a 169.254.x.x. address.  Is this some issue with Win7 and the latest Hyper-V version?  As I mentioned Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 work just fine. 

Thanks.

vhd resize issues

$

Hey guys,

So I'm trying to use the edit disk option to increase the size of a vhd. Unfortunately the VM using the VHD has a snapshot so from what I can tell I have to revert the VM to the snapshot. I keep running into some errors though and just want to make sure I'm going about this the right way.

"An error occurred while attempting to revert the virtual machine."

Is what happens every time I try to revert it. When I expand for details it just gives me the virtual machine ID.


If I try to use edit disk to reconnect and resize I get a "failed to set new parent for the virtual disk"

"There exists ID mismatch between the differencing virtual hard disk and the parent disk"

every time.

I've tried checking the "ignore ID mismatches" and I still end up getting an error "Failed to set new parent for the virtual disk"

For details; I'm running hyperv on a windows 8 machine and the VM is on a server 2012 machine.

Please let me know if anyone has ideas or tips and if more information is needed.

Hi,

I have ugraed my client to Windws 8.1 prof. After some digging i found out that it was posible to export a snapshot(if you have multiple snapshot) while using Hyper-v manager in windows 8.1 to a Hyper-v 2012R2 server. In my old pc win 7 prof i had the option to export but it didt work on running VM. On the win 8.1 i dont have that options? am  i missing some updates?

Any tips? fix?

Losing Access to Cluster Shared Volumes: Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('CSV Disk1') has entered a paused state because of '(c0000435)'

Hi,

Just built a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V failover cluster connected to Equallogic 4110 storage arrays with latest firmware and HIT kits. 
When creating a clone or vm from a template we see that the cluster loses access to the storage csv volume that is hosted on the equallogic storage with the following errors:

Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('CSV Disk1') has entered a paused state because of '(c0000435)'. All I/O will temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished.

Can anyone shed any light onto this issue?

We Have Three Hyper-V Host with Shared Cluster.

Hyper-V Host 1= CS1

Hyper-V Host 2 = CS2

Hyper-V Host 3 = CS3

 

I am successful able to live migrate VM’s from CS1 to CS2 and CS2 to CS1 but unable to live migrate CS1 & CS2 to CS3

Following Error is Recorded at cluster Manager

Event id : 1205

 

Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine CS-FileServer' of type 'Virtual Machine' in clustered role 'CS-FileServer' failed. The error code was '0x2' ('The system cannot find the file specified.').

 

Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it.  Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.

SCVMM 2012 SP1 Virtual Switch on Cluster Node Disappears

$
0
0

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. 

Information (26844)
Virtual switch (Virtual Switch Name) is not highly available because the switch is not available in host (One of the Hyper-V Hosts).

Recommended Action

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? 


Microsoft Windows Server Downgrade Licensing for Host and VMs

$

I got a new Dell server with OEM Windows Server 2012 Std 2 CPU/VM.

So, Windows Server 2012 Std is installed as a HOST on a physical machine.

Now, I need to create a VM and install Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise as a downgrade.

According to Mictosoft Windows Server Licensing I have a right for such a downgrade.

2 Questions are here:

1. Can I downgrade to Windows 2008 R2 Ent and use it on VM only? On Host I would still prefer to leave 2012 St.

2. Windows 2008 R2 Ent should be installed as a clean installation. What product key should I use for it?

Microsoft support team advised to get a downgrade key from Manufacture, because the current one won't work for earlier version. Manufacture (Dell) support advised to use the current key...

Clustered servers and Hyper V VSS Writer goes into bad state directly - but only on some nodes.

$
0

We have 10 x 2 = 20 clustered nodes (WS2012 R2 Core) and 5 x 2 = 10 SQL 2010 always-on clusters that are pretty identical and most of the VM's on these nodes have been backed up daily and perfectly from day one with no issues but 4 of them are failing constantly. 
The VSS-writer "Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer" is in bad state [8]. Rebooting the nodes will put the writer in good state but only until next backup is started.  
Other VM's that are located on the same node are backed up correctly. Every day. So I assume that the writer repair itself after some time. 
DPM is 2012 R2 v4.2.1254.0 and the agents are the same version. 

The error is "The The VSS application writer or the VSS provider is in a bad state. Either it was already in a bad state or 
it entered a bad state during the current operation. (ID 30111 Details: VssError:The writer experienced a non-transient error.  
If the backup process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur. (0x800423F4))"

I have removed the actual VM's from DPM and put them back again. No change. 
The application event log on the node 10N02 shows no clues of what's wrong. 
The DPMRA-log shows some error but I'm not sure how to interpret them. 

Found a bug though, the timestamp in the DPMRACurr is about 3 hours wrong. 
Was trying to attach a copy of the log here but it was above the character limit so I've cut ut the ERROR and WARNING lines. 
Feels like I'm stuck here. 
All help is appreciated.

Windows 8 : Hyper-V Platform unchecks

$
0
0

Hi all,

after enabling all Hyper-V Features within Windows 8 (RTM) the Checkbox for "Hyper-V platform" unchecks itself.

After enabling the Hyper-V platform Feature and restarting the PC it does some restarts by itself. As soon I can logon again I realized all Features but the Platform are checked and installed.

When enabling the Checkbox again - without restarting - but looking again into the selected Features its unchecked automaticly. 

I already checked the SLAT and DEP Settings. Assuming wrong or missing BIOS Settings would gray out the Checkbox, but it is not.

I have no ideas anymore.

Thanks for ideas,

Server 2012 R2 Data Center with Windows 8.1 client - Internet issues

$
0
0

First, sorry for the pictures, it helps me explain things a bit better

I am working on installing windows 8.1 onto a 2012 R2 server

Server has 2 NIC's. One for the server and one for the VM's
Here is the Server info


Here is my issue

I have a windows 7 client - Has Internet access
I have a Windows Server 2003 client - Has internet access

I build out a Windows 8.1 machine using Generation 1 and the machine is so unstable it will not install

I build out a Windows 8.1 machine using Generation 2 and the machine is good and stable.

The only problem is that it has no internet

It does get an IP address from the DHCP server ( also the host )


The DHCP server did issue 192.168.10.126, i just forgot to refresh the screen before I took the scrape

I did disable the IPV6 and that did not work

If I check Allow Management Operating system on the virtual switch manager I can no longer access the server via the network (RDP or File share).

Any suggestions on how I can get the Windows 8.1 client to see the internet?

TIA
