Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V on a Power Connect 2848 - Nic Teaming

$
0
0

The powerconnect 2848 has the following options for load-balance (layer 2, layer 3, and layer 2 and 3)

Microsoft has "Address Hash".

Of course they are using different language to do the same thing. I have yet to find a document that details this configuration. I am assuming I should set the power-connect to Layer 2 and 3, and Microsoft Nic Team to Static, and Address Hash.

Is this correct?

Additionally, is the Hyper-v Port load balancing option switch independent?


Wireless NIC support in Hyper-V: Can I get it please?

$

I would like wireless NIC support in Hyper-V so that I can experiment, and perhaps deploy, a virtual wireless router. E.g., dd-wrt x86 in a Hyper-V VM that has a virtual wireless NIC bound to a physical wireless NIC in the host computer. This would be an evolution of the existing facilities in Hyper-V under "Settings->Add Hardware->Network Adapter". (Aside: dd-wrt x86 must see a NIC that is Atheros-based, I have been told). What would it take to get this feature implemented?


I am using Hyper-V via Windows 10 Professional (and Enterprise TP), not via Windows Server.

Unable to connect to Virtual Machine

$

Whenever I do Windows Updates inside of any VM, I am unable to connect to the VM during the update process. I get prompted for a reboot to do the updates so I do. The machine shows running and I can see the last saved thumbnail when I select the VM in HyperV manager. However, when I click to connect to the VM using Enhanced Session I get stuck at black screen saying Connecting to "VMNAME"...

I tried to connect without Enhanced Session and I get to the gray page showing the time and date. The time being displayed is not correct it seems like that was last thumbnail it saved which is being displayed. This happens to all my VMs when I try to do an update and I am wondering if this is normal. I assume its probably at the stage of applying updates like when you update client versions of Windows but doesn't show it. I usually wait for some time then I am able to connect to the VM and updates are installed fine. Is there anything to change this behavior or is something wrong?

Unable to ping any VM's on private network

I have a Windows 2012 Server with Hyper-V role installed. I created a Private virtual switch named "Private". I have only 3 VM's that are using this switch, but none of them are able to communicate with each other. I have network discovery and file and printer sharing turn on for all network profiles (Private, Guest or Public, Domain). They are all on the same network. Since this switch did not work, I created a new Private virtual switch named TEST. Without restarting any of the VM's I switched all 3 VM's from the "Private" switch to the "TEST" switch. All the VM's are now able to ping each other. If I switch back to the "Private" switch, all the VM's lose communication with each other. Anyone know what's going on?

I tried the Get-VMSwitch and other various cmdlets, but can't find why this is happening.

Hyper-V client Windows Update very slow

$

I have a server running Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, fully patched.

Yesterday and today when trying to apply this month's Windows Updates to some Hyper-V clients, it is very slow. Both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 clients that had all previous patches are taking several hours to download the updates.

One of the Windows 8.1 clients took from 10:00 to 17:30. We are on 80Mbps broadband and there was no significant other traffic, or loading on the server.

The internal network is 1Gbps and copying a 2GB .iso image to the Windows 10 VM runs at about 60MBps.

Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 (server core) Hangs During Reboot

$

I am running Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 (server core) and 3 VMs - Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2, Windows 10, and a Linux VM (Red Hat derivative).  This had been working fine for many months.

I recently recofigured the hard drives on my Hyper-V server and then re-installed the 3 VMs.  Since doing that I've found that my Hyper-V server hangs any time I try and reboot the system.

As far as I can tell all 3 VMs have shut down as none of them are responding to PINGs.  After waiting for quite some time I eventually just power off the physical machine and then reboot.

This is not very convenient for remote management of the server.  Plus I am concerned that a hard reboot like this will eventually corrupt something in one of my VMs.

So far I've not been able to locate any solution for this problem.  My Hyper-V server has all the available maintenance installed (as well as all 3 VMs having all available maintenance installed).

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I have novirtualswitches

When i try create new one using hyper-v manager (i try run as normal, and run as administrator), or powershell ( New-VMSwitch -Name "vNIC1" -AllowManagementOS $true -NetAdapterName"Wi-Fi")I getting an error :

nvalid handle (0x80070006).

I've triedto reinstall network drivers, reinstal hyper-v role, use wire, and wireless NIC, create external, private or internal vswitch. All times i got this error or sometimes i got :

Hyper-V NIC Teaming Packet Loss

$
0
0

We recently built a new server that runs Hyper-V 2012R2 with 2 VMs.  the 2 VMS being a DC and a SQL Server 2014.  The server has two nics so it made sense to use the built in tools for NIC Teaming.  Everything appears to be running great, however clients report connection loss intermittently to the SQL Server (runs a small ERP package), which kicks them off the system.

This was really never an issue on the older server, which has me to believe it's not the core network, but rather the server itself.

The settings for the Team were initially:  Active/Active, Dynamic, Switch Independent (Standard options).  I tried making the Active/Active team to go into Active/Standy... no luck.  I also removed NIC02 from the Team which only left NIC01 in the team... no luck.  I then even disabled NIC02...no luck.

I'm wondering if there is a design flaw in the server build or if this is a know problem for NIC teaming in software?  I'm really at a loss on this one since it's so intermittent, but happens about every 1 or 2 hours for everyone.


.vhd file corruption

I have performed a few steps below and it seems like the .vhd file is corrupted.

  1. When loading the .vhd file in Hyper-V, we got error "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable";
  2. We tried mount the .vhd file directly to the Hyper-V host, but still got the same error;
  3. With vhdtool, the repair attempt as failed;
  4. Disabling the antivirus service and then re-mount the .vhd file, still got the same error;

May I know if Microsoft provides any support for this? and what normally is the root cause?

Thank you.

How to recover from a corrupted VHD file?

$

There is a tool that can recover logical problems in the VHD structure?

A friend called me and told me that his VS R2 Enterprise with 4 VMs suffered a power falure and after that, one of the VMs does not startup anymore. The erros is the same as using VHDMOUNT, something similar: "VHD file could not be mounted"

There is a CHKDSK for VHD files?

How to "rebuild" a corrupetd VHD file? How to analyze logical structure of a offline VHD file?

Slow network transfer speeds between Hyper-V hosts in 10G network.

$

0
I'm running into a bit of a problem.

I have 5 hypervisors in a separate compute cluster with attached DSAN. I have a VM that has a shared VHDX drive. When I do a speed test to the disk using diskspd, and the VM and shared VHDX are on the same cluster node, I get great transfer speeds of around 1.2 gigabytes a second. I have 10G network on its own switch. Each Hypervisor is running a team of 4 NICS.

When I move the cluster storage owner where the shared VHDX is stored to a different node than the VM,  the speeds drop to 350 megabytes a second.  Any ideas where I can start?

Setup:
SCVMM
SMB Multichannel: disabled
VMQ: enabled

Time Keeps reverting on Hyper-v Session

Need some assistance.  I have several VMs where the time is ahead 2 hours.  When I go in and manually change the time it will revert back.

I noticed that the Hyper-V Time Synchronization service is stopped,  when I start it I get the message that it started and stopped again, so something is broken.  Ideas?

Windows 10 Build 10240 Hyper-V Copy Paste from Host to VM and back

$

I am using Hyper-V for a training class on a Windows 10 Enterprise 10240 build. In one lab, I have a newtwork share setup to copy items from Host to VM and VM to Host since copy an paste doesn't work. BUT... One student was able to copy and paste from host to VM and VM to host without having to use a network share. Another student with the exact same setup was not. why? Although network sharing works, copy and paste would be much better.

  1. Does Hyper-V in Windows 10 Enterprise support copy and paste?
  2. Is there some trick to enable copy and past besides the VM settings - Enhanced Mode?

Hyper-V Replication (Disk write speed Problem)

$
0
0
Hello, I work in a small software publishing business and I undertake to deploy our solutions in virtual servers. 

For this first time I deployed two Hyper-V in workgroup with a single VM (virtual machine ), the replication happens perfectly. 

My problem: 
-the disk writing rate on the Hyper-V is about 900 MB / s 
-the disk writing rate in the VM before enabling replication is about 800 MB / s 
-the writing rate in the VM disk after enabling replication down to about 250 MB / s 

I tried using a VM of in 1st and in 2nd generation, I observed the same differences ... 

But the disk read speed that is about 1300 MB / s in the Hyper-V, remains substantially correct in the VM ( than 1100 Mb / s in all cases). 

The problem is the disk write speed that drops drastically down in the VM after that the réplication is enabled and the initial transfer completed.

Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this huge drop down?

Best regards

Hyper-V Manager Fails to'Create VHD's in the New Virtual Machine Wizard

$

I have an issue with Hyper-V Manager not being able to create the VHD in the New VM Wizard.  When trying to create a new VM the Hyper-V Manager fails to create the VHD or I should say it partially creates the file but returns a message saying that it failed to create it.  In the error message it says the file already exists and that I should delete it.  When I delete the file and start the wizard again it fails once again and repeats the same message.  I was able to create the VM and VHD through PowerShell at the server console and my Hyper-V Manager (running on Windows 8.1 with all servers and clients in a workgroup) could see and manage the VM created by PowerShell.  Does anyone have an idea as to why Hyper-V Manager can't create the VHD itself?  Thanks for your help.

My Virtual Machine has no IP Address!

$

Ack. A user is suddenly unable to access his virtual machine. I dig around a bit. I cannot access the machine through Remote Desktop or through the Hyper-V console. And then lo and behold I discover that the machine has no IP address!

To determine that, I ran the following command in Powershell:

get-vm -name xxxxxxxx | select -ExpandProperty networkadapters

Name                  IsManagementOs   VMName      SwitchName     MacAddress     Status    IPAddresses

Networkadapter   False                     xxxxxxxxx   Virtual Switch    blahblah         {ok}      {}

(Note the empty brackets under IP address.)

So how do I access this machine so that I can fix whatever's up with its IP address?

Hi,

 I had users started calling in that they cannot remote to their personal VMs. I checked all the IPs were changed to 169.254.x.x when they are suppose to start with 172.18.x.x.

Added node to Cluster with replica running, how to set new node up for Replica.

$

Hi

I run a clustered Hyper-V setup, with an replica broker setup and is working.

It is setup to use Certificates. We have now added 2 new nodes, and I have created and installed the certificates correct.

When editing settings for the Replication broker, I can select the certificate, but I can't select apply, as the certificate is the same.

I have tried to remove the checkmark, apply, add the checkmark again, but the new nodes still don't show the certificate, and the replication does not work from these nodes.

What have I done wrong?

Regards Lars.
