Hi,
I test to configure for network teaming on the hyper-v host 2012 R2
Ramy
Hi,
Following on from my previous thread which was resolved :Converged Team - No Ping
We strictly try to troubleshoot before asking and at all times do our best to avoid posting to forums. Brief Intro :
We have a 2 x node Dell R520 server 2012 Hyper-v setup. Clustering not setup yet.
Each server has the following nic specs:
2 x on-board Broadcom’s
1 x 4 port Intel.
2 of the ports on the Intel nic are used strictly for IScsi traffic.
The remaining nics are used in a LACP team. VMQ has been disabled. The LACP team is connected to 2 x Stacked 3750 Cisco switches. All appropriated
Trunk ports, speed, media, vlans and MTU have been applied to the switch config and ensure ISCSI traffic is restricted to the VLANS. All devices (Servers and Synology) have redundant paths to the switches.
A V-switch has been setup with standard networks connected to it (Management, Migration and Cluster)
All networks are on separate subnets and Vlans.
ISCSI is provided via an ISCSI Lun on a Synology RS10613xs+ Cluster with 15k 900gb drives with MPIO enabled and 2 nics on each node dedicated to ISCSI
vlans.
ISCSI targets are successfully added to each Hyper-v node and MPIO enabled. Have verified I can see the 2 sessions for each target from each node. Jumbo
frames enabled on each nic on the Hyper-v nodes along with the SAN and the switches. Testing confirmed.
Initial testing is ok, performance is good but can be better.
Our problem is that the moment we attempt to read or write anything to the ISCSI volumes (STD file copy), all VMs grind to a halt. Pausing or stopping the
file copy to or from the ISCSI volumes restores normal connectivity on the VM’s.
Examining the Synology cluster we can see it’s under no stress and happily serving the LUNS.
Confirmed the traffic for both the file copy and VM traffic is only occurring on the ISCSI networks / VLANS across the hyper-v nodes and the SAN.
The VM’s that are currently running are under no stress or load.
A simple copy from the ISCSI volume and to the volume gives an average of 600MB/S (while peaking to 800MB/s at times)
We are at a loss as to where the congestion / bottleneck is coming from or occurring.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Sam
Hi All,
Had some issues with virtual switch, it never worked. Tried to enable/disable hyper-v.
Pretty much does not install anymore. Maybe some of you have an idea.
Here output from CBS.log based on it seems the virtual switch part is failing, but no idea why exactly:

Hi Guys,
Two Question Please..
First Q - I have two 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.. what is the best in term of performance for Multi-LAB virtual machines use them separately or raid 0 them? i will run like 4 virtual machines.. currently two on each HDD
Second Q - I have three SSD Samsung 850 PRO 1x256GB and 2x128GB .. and i would like to use only 256GB .. Also in term of performance for O.S. and Multi-virtual Machines "two or three VMs" use the 256GB or two 128 in RAID 0 or two 128 separately ?
Yes
i am aware of data lose potential in raid 0 and i don't care because it's a lab VMs and O.S. anyway. i only care about performance
And last i am using Z97 Chipset and i think TRIM is supported with RAID 0 on 9 Series?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Now that Hyper-V seems to be working for us, we have several vmware image that I would like to convert over. Is this possible?
Regards,

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?
Thank you

emulex power path is usedHi,
If anyone could advise on this, we have launched a Oracle Linux VM and have partitioned the hard disk the way we want.
We have then installed our applications and configured the database.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 7.4G 5.4G 1.8G 76% /
tmpfs 3.5G 76K 3.5G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 485M 50M 410M 11% /boot
/dev/sda2 2.0G 804M 1.1G 42% /tmp
/dev/sdb1 178G 1.7G 167G 1% /oracle
/dev/sdb2 104G 188M 98G 1% /orabackup
After this we created an image of the VM by following the steps from your documentation on how to capture an image.
After this we then launch a VM using that image using steps from your documentation on how to launch a custom VM.
In the status of the VM [Provisioning it suddenly times out] then if we restart the VM the status changes to RUNNING but we can't connect to the VM.
Also if we stick to the original partition.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 7.4G 5.4G 1.8G 76% /
tmpfs 3.5G 76K 3.5G 1% /dev/shm

/dev/sda2 2.0G 804M 1.1G 42% /tmp
/dev/sdb1 206G 105M 206G 1% /mnt/resource
All data in the /mnt/resource is not being captured when preparing the VM as a template.
Kindly advise if there's anything we've missed.
Hi,
I am running one VM on my Hyper-v Server.
The physical machine has 2 network adapters and i have created two Virtual switches using those adapter - Internal and External.
Internal is connected with my LAN and is working fine and the domain name is showing.
External is connected directly with the ISP and it has static public IP. I am not getting internet using this line.
However if i am providing the static IP to the physical server in which the hyper-v is running, it works fine. But when i use the same with VM it does not work.
Am really confused please help.
Thanks Chandan

Hi,
We have a 9 x node Hyper-V 2012 Cluster with the following hotfixes installed:

We have a 2012 SQL Failover guest cluster with SAN attached storage using virtual HBAs.
The guest cluster nodes live migrate successfully however we have experienced two issues where the node in the guest cluster develops NTFS warnings once the node successfully live migrates to another hyper-v host- event ID 140
The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: F:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume18.
({Device Busy}
The device is currently busy.)
We have a number of other guest clusters that live migrate successfully without causing NTFS warnings on the guest machines. We can resolve this issue by offlining the cluster disks but I was wondering if anyone could help with why this is happening please?Hi, I have the following setup:
Host system:
Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, Hyper-V installed
Guest system:
Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
One virtual NIC
I want to install OpenVPN on the guest system. To do that, OpenVPN creates its own TAP adapter and requires a network bridge to an internet-facing NIC on the machine. This is what my network connections looks like:
The Network Bridge is just between the Hyper-V virtual "LAN Adapter" and the "OpenVPN Adapter". But with the bridge enabled, I have no network connectivity. That is, if I right-click and view "Status" of the bridge, it shows many packets sent, but zero received. After some experimentation, I've found:
Does anybody have any idea what's going on?
I've setup two 2012 (not R2) hosts with two clients. I've enable replication through the main Cisco switch using the primary host name of each host (say host1 and host2). I have a spare 10GB link on each host that I would like to be able to direct the replication over verses going over the 1GB main switch (seems like the right thing to do?).
I've set the 10GB ports up back to back (not through the switch) and assigned them static IP addresses on a different network (example 11.0.0.1 and 11.0.0.2). I then put these IPs in the hosts file with names "rep1" and "rep2". They can ping each other just fine.
The problem is that the replication "wizard" doesn't like the host file names as much as it likes the domain names. It doesn't pick up the necessary info when querying the host. replication is set to use http and Kerberos. Also, we are on a closed network with our own domain; no outside contact at all.
I am by no means an expert on this, so I am hoping its as simple as adding the rep1 and rep2 "network" to the DC or DNS and maybe enabling routing? Actually it'd be nice if all traffic between the two servers went over the direct connect.
Thanks
I have recently upgraded a Windows XP machine to Windows Vista and ultimately to Windows 7 32-bit
I then created an entirely new physical Windows 7 Machine
I need to perform a Windows backup restore from virtualized copy of Windows 7 to the new machine
Question??? Do I have to turn off the original Windows XP PC? I see that the virtualized upgrade has the same name as the physical XP and only one entry in Active Directory reference the original Windows XP not the upgraded virtual clone???
Hello All,
I am sure this going to cause some to have a laugh but unfortunately I cant seem to find the answer anywhere. I am in a situation where I have a new server with 2012STD installed. One software company cannot run there software on a virtual machine due to serial port issues. Since they have to run on the base system and OS, can I still safely add a Hyper V role and use it? It seems that everyone builds a stripped base machine, adds the HyperV role and then builds everything under the Hyper V. I wanted to have the ability with them running on the Native machine platform to still be able to add a Hyper V role and run additional programs with the the virtual machine and not have to run multiple programs on the base.
Hope this makes sense.

I am running a esxi lab within hyper-v and the vms within this do not want to connect to the network. I have been told that I need to enable promiscuous mode on the virtual switch and I can't find the option anywhere. I cannot get guest OSes to connect to the network under the vmware vsphere.
Is there any way to enable this? Please respond. Thank you.
Hi,
what Windows 7 version is used for Hyper-V pooled and static vdi?
Don't think that using FULL W7 OS is practical in both scenarios.
What would be the best choice?
Thanks

Hi. I installed Hyper-v server 2012 R2 on a Toshiba running windows 8.1 64bit and now I can not go back to windows 8.1. The problem is i don't have a installation disk or a recovery disk. How can i go back to Window 8.1 ?
