I just purchased a 64GB flash chip for my video camera and it will not play on my computer with Windows 7. It is a Sand Disc SDXC. Can I down load a program to enable me to see and copy videos form the flash chip to my computer?

Thanks

Hello Community

    If we are using Hyper-V to create Virtual Machines and VHD's do we need to use VMware with it?

    If so when?

USB Pass-Through From Windows 8.1 Host To Windows Server 2012 R2 VM

$
0
0

I want to be able to connect with a Windows Mobile Device through Windows Mobile Device Center, within a Virtual Machine.  When connecting through the Hyper-V Manager and through Remote Desktop, under "Other supported RemoteFX USB devices", I can see the Symbol USB Sync Cradle.  In the VM, in Device Manager, I don't see a USB connection.  In the VM, I don't see any meaningful errors in the Event Viewer.

Host:  Windows 8.1 Enterprise Hyper-V on a Domain.  Upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro.  When this computer was originally installed with Windows 8 Pro, Hyper-V was enabled.  I removed Hyper-V, and installed VMWare Player, because I wanted USB Pass-through.  I then uninstalled VMWare and installed VirtualBox.  Recently, I uninstalled VirtualBox, upgraded to Windows 8.1 Enterprise, and enabled Hyper-V.

Virtual Machine OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 on a Workgroup.  Started out with being a VMWare VM, using VMWare Player.  Moved to VirtualBox.  USB Pass-through was working in both those virtual environments.  Used Disk2VHD to convert the VM to a VHDX file.

On the Host:

  1. Windows Mobile Device Center is connected to a Motorola Windows Mobile Device (MC959X) sitting in a Symbol USB Cradle.  The OS on the scanner is Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Classic CE OS 5.2.29217 (Build 29217.5.3.12.26).  Advanced Networking (USB to PC) is not enabled.
  2. Enabled RemoteFX. 
  3. In the RDP file, and in the Registry, added the GUID's for:
  • WPD "{eec5ad98-8080-425f-922a-dabf3de3f69a}";
  • Windows Mobile "{6AC27878-A6FA-4155-BA85-F98F491D4F33}";
  • USB Device "{88BAE032-5A81-49f0-BC3D-A4FF138216D6}";
  • Windows CE USB Device "{25dbce51-6c8f-4a72-8a6d-b54c2b4fc835}";
  • GUID_DEVINTERFACE_USB_DEVICE "{A5DCBF10-6530-11D2-901F-00C04FB951ED}"

Ran "sfc /scannow"

Converged Team - No Ping

$
0
0

Hi, We have a very simple environment.  2 x Dell R520 node running server 2012 STD.  Hyper-v setup on each node (Vanilla with no other roles)
Each node has 2 x onboard broadcoms and 1 x 4 port Intel Nics.

2 of the ports from the Intel nics on each node are used in MPIO for ISCSI shared storage via the SaN.  This works perfectly.
The remaining ports (2 x broadcom + 2 x intel) are teamed as follows:
Switch Independant, Dynamic, All Adapters Active. Team Name: ConvergedNetTeam

A Vswitch is created : New-VMSwitch -Name ”External” -MinimumBandwidthMode Weight -NetAdapterName “ConvergedNetTeam” 

The Management nic created is renamed to management.
We then create 2 more networks for Cluster and Migration and assign to External vswitch.

MinimumBandwidthWeight 5 for Management
MinimumBandwidthWeight 20 for Cluster
MinimumBandwidthWeight 30 for Migration

DefaultFlowMinimumBandwidthWeight for Vswitch set to 10

All connected to a Cisco 3750 Switch with minimal config and all ports in switchport mode access (allocated to vlan1/Native)  No other vlans configured on the switch.  Once in production there will be 2 x Cisco switches stacked.

At this stage connectivity between nodes on the different subnets/vlans is fine.

As soon as we apply the VLANID's to the networks we loose connectivity :

Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -ManagementOS -VMNetworkAdapterName “Management” -Access -VlanId “2”
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -ManagementOS -VMNetworkAdapterName “Migration” -Access -VlanId “6”
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -ManagementOS -VMNetworkAdapterName “Cluster” -Access -VlanId “7”

We then change the following on the switch :

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q 
switchport trunk allowed vlan all 
switchport mode trunk 

create the vlan interfaces
int vlan 2
no ip address

int vlan 6
no ip address

int vlan 7
no ip address


We have tried breakiung up the team and not using the broadcoms.  We have ensure vmq disabled on the broadcoms. tried the team in different configurations.  Seems to be pointing to our switch config.
We then erased our switch config and left it basic in acess mode. Problem still present.


Still unable to ping / talk to other networks / nodes.

I know we are doing something wrong and something really simple

Any help is much appreciated

Hi,

We have three  HyperV 2008 R2 datacenter server and they are in Cluster. recently some VM instants are going down frequently with I/O device error. These server is pinging but not accessible either remote or direct connect. I am gettingI/O offline device error when i logged the server directly. Kindly find the error as below and let me know the resolution for the same.

Enhanced session connection to a VM-no audio recording

$

I have a set of VMs that I'd like to connect to with enhanced session and audio redirection, but for some reason audio recording has stopped working through the enhanced session connection.  The host is windows 8.1, and the guest is server 2012 R2, and I have the correct policies enabled on both host and guest.  I can connect the enhanced session with the "record from this computer" selected for audio capture, but on the guest I only have playback, not capture. 

What's really strange is that if I connect a second virtual NIC to this VM with a public IP address, I can RDP directly into this machine (through a regular RDP session, not the hyperV enhanced session), and recording redirection works just fine.  So far I've tried:

  • rebooting host and guest
  • disabling and re-enabling audio redirection
  • removing the "remote audio" device in the guest's device manager

I've also tried USB redirection using a USB audio device, and this works through enhanced session, but I'd also like to be able to get an audio connection using just the default audio device.  Anyone have any ideas?

Hyper-V Replica Capacity Planner stuck getting VM information

$

I'm trying to use the Capacity Planner for Hyper-V replica tool to estimate requirements for a replica site.

It keeps getting stuck "Getting the VM and VHD from primary site, this can take upto several minutes...". I've waited over an hour, and it still sits there.

The primary site is a 3 node Hyper-V 2012R2 cluster. I have installed and configured the Hyper-V Replication Broker role on the cluster. For now, it's set to use HTTP without any certificates.

I don't have a replica site yet, so I've selected "Skip tests involving Replica site". For the primary site, I've tried pointing it at both the replication broker, and at one of the individual nodes. It gets stuck in the same place.

Other things I've tried:

  • Disabled windows firewall on all 3 nodes
  • Running the tool from one of the nodes, logged in as a domain admin account
  • Moving all the VMs off of one node, and pointing the tool at that now empty node
  • Let it run for longer - left it alone overnight.
  • Downloaded the tool again in case it was corrupt
  • Rebooted my computer

In all cases, it gets stuck at the exact same spot.

Any idea how to figure out why it is freezing? Have I missed configuring something important for the tool to run?

Duplicated MAC address on teammed network !

hello,

I have two hyper-v nodes in my environment both are hosting multiple DC's NPS, DNS,...etc

I used native windows server 2012 R2 native NIC teaming

I did team all available network interfaces "four of them" to a single network adapter using LACP. link aggregation control protocol

things has been working fine for about three months

now days I can see a very strange warning message it says "MAC conflict: A port on the virtual switch has the same MAC as one of the underlying team members on Team Nic Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver"

any idea or solution ?

its not fair the teamed interface use the same MAC address of one of its members !

Hi,

I am trying to install LAN driver on hyper-v server 2012 R2.

Mother board is Intel DH61WW and the LAN adapter is Intel 82579LM Adapter.

I have the latest INF files which i have downloaded from Intel site.

I am installing the driver using pnputil.exe and it shows that it has successfully installed the LAN driver, but when i am restarting the server , the error comes "NO network adapters found".

I ran the driver setup through command prompt, the UI came and after the installation it shows - no adapters present.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks Chandan

Unable to create Hyper-V Switch - File not found

Hello,

I'm hoping someone has run into this before. I have dual nice in my hyper-v server and both are intel but different controllers. The one that I am having issues with is an intel I217-VM. Anytime I go to create an external switch it fails and gives me the following errors : 

"Failed while adding virtual Ethernet switch connections." click advanced "Failed to connect Ethernet switch port ...., port name = ...... adapter guid = .... : The system cannot find the file specified 80070002.

Each time I try creating the switch and it fails the only way to get it to show up again in the gui is to reboot the system. If I check the device manager is states that the device could not be started.

Things I have tried already:

Installing the newest drivers from Intel

Updating Windows

Creating a new internal switch (which doesn't fail) removing all extensions then switching it to external (fails right away)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Re-attaching VMs in Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V?

$

Is there a way to re-attach VMs to a Hyper-V server? My Server 2012 box died, but as my VMs were stored on another disk (D:\) I thaught I could quickly put this VM-disk in my 2012 R2-box and re-attach the VMs.

I know the proper way is exporting and importing, but I couldn't export the VMs properly so I choose to register the VM, and it comes with an error:

The wizard cannot import virtual hard disks from source folder 'D:\Vms\VM1\'

Failed to get the disk information.

Failed to open attachment 'D:\VMs\VM1\VM1.vhd". Error: 'The file cannot be accessed by the system.'.


Hyper-V Virtual Machine Uptime reset to zero after recovery point taken

I am seeing a Virtual Machines Uptime, as reported by the Hyper-V Manager, being reset to zero after a recovery point is taken.  Can anybody explain this?

NOTE: Internally the guest VM still shows the correct Uptime. This confirms that the VM has not actually rebooted. Also that the VM is still operational while the recovery point is being taken, hence the Uptime is not being reset due to a VM save.

Hyper-V Old VM folders cannot be deleted

$

Hello,
 
In the process of upgrading VMs through the different version of Hyper-V, including some failures related to dumping a snapshot and the guest just dissappearing from the console- I now have some orphaned VM guest folders and snapshot xml files that I cannot delete.

No Antivirus on the system active, reboot- and still the files are locked and reported as in use.

I have tried taking ownership- rewriting the NTFS permissions- even though they looked fine- but still some folders and files just ca't be removed.

Has anyone else had this issue or something similar? I do know for sure that none of the files in the folders are in use by existing virtual machines and when I pull up resource manager and share and storage manager there are no open files or sessions that point to these folders and files that just wont go away.

any help would be great.

Thanks,
Omar

These machines have been up for more than 4 or 5 days... Is there a way to change this?

WMIService/Get-vm not returning virtual machines in the list after performing a Hyper-V VM export/import

$
0

Hello,

After exporting 3 VM's from one PC and importing them on a second PC they seem to be working fine.  The domain controller is functional and TFS is working correctly with Visual Studio.

I had 3 scripts written in VB script to start, stop and check status of the VM's.  On the second PC, the scripts don't work correctly where the VM's are concerned; they aren't collecting data on the VM's.  I asked about this first in the scripting forum.  The suggestion was to try Powershell; but even in Powershell the VM's are not being reported.  So I think the problem is not the scripting, but the service.

What kinds of things can I do to figure out why status reporting for VM's through WMIObject is not working?  Is this a known problem?  Should I try to uninstall Hyper-V and reinstall?  What would I do with the VM's if I try that?

Is it possible during the import some old data from the previous host was kept and that is keeping the new host from properly registering the new VM's?

Added material since original post:

Using the original PC after doing a Windows Reset, I created a new vm using one of the old vm hard disks.  That vm shows up in powershell with get-vm.

On the new PC I copied the existing vm hard drives to another location on the same disk, and created a new vm using the same .vhdx as worked on the old PC.  That new vm does not show up in powershell with get-vm.  I then created a new vm from scratch in Hyper-V, and that vm does not show up in powershell with get-vm.  I performed the same operation in the original PC, meaning created a new vm exactly the same way and get-vm in powershell shows that new vm on the old PC.  I.E., the seemingly same operations on the old PC work with get-vm, on the new PC they do not.

I did notice there are differences in the Hyper-V app.  The new PC has a choice between generation 1 and generation 2 vm's.  I tired that also and it does not seem to make a difference.

The old PC Hyper-V version is 6.2.9200.16384.

The new PC Hyper-V version is 6.3.9600.16384.

Final addition of material showing PowerShell is working, but I still have an issue:  If I right click I can run powershell as an administrator, so that's clearly been my problem.  I am missing something basic here.  I thought if my user account is designated as an administrator, everything I do will be done as an administrator, so clearly I need a basic lesson that I guess everyone else already understands.  Please explain if someone could.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Alan
