Virtual TPM never locks out

0
0

Hi there.

Let me report a problem with the vTPM.

Software used: Hyper-V of Server 2016 datacenter (updated) and win10 1607 as guest machine.

Expected behavior: the virtual TPM would lockout if 32 bad PIN attempts are detected.

Observed behavior: After 32 attempts, you just need to reboot the machine and you have 32 new attempts, a lockout simply never happens.

Please investigate, this is quite dangerous.

--

Furthermore, the same problem happens if win10 1607 is used both as hyper-v host and guest.

Also, the cmdlet get-tpm notices that the lockout counter is rising if we execute, say, 5 incorrect entries and displays those, but the number gets reset to zero if we reboot the system. And no, this is not due to "self healing".


Convert dynamic disks to basic disks within a Virtual Machine

0
0

Hi Everyone,

I've got a couple of 2008 R2 virtual machines that have dynamic disks within the VM

They are running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Host with the Hyper-V role installed.

On-line backups using ARCSERVE / VSSADMIN are not working as they are dynamic disks, so offline backups are performed as per:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn798286%28v=ws.11%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

How can I convert the dynamic disks to basic disks without having to first delete the disks and re-create using diskpart etc

Is there any free partition server software that works within VMs to perform this action?!?

Thanks!

Steve

replica merge is interrupted

We are replicating several VMs to our DR site.  In status I see the replicating changes complete than a merge in progress status.  After a couple of minutes is says the merge in progress was cancelled.  In the hyper-v-vmms log shows and informational event 19090 that says "background disk merge has been interrupted".  Looking up the event says the avhdx is in use, but I don't see a reason they would be in use.  We have dozens of old avhdx files for these replicas.

Win10 and HV 2016 Server - Can Not Remote Manage

0
0

Hello,

So I got the great idea to install Hyper-V Server 2016 on my home domain server/test environment. In doing so I was hoping to recreate my domain and be able to host other VM's for projects I'm working on. However - The problem.

No matter what I do I can't seem to get Hyper-V Manager to connect to the server. Obviously at this point there is no domain to connect to so both machines are running in WORKGROUP mode. The client is Windows 10 ENT x64

The server Hyper-V has been added to the clients hosts file

winrm is running on both boxes

Group policy for fresh credentials for NTLM-Only and non NTLM is set up.

The bottom steps here have been done on both client and server - https://msdn.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyperv_on_windows/user_guide/remote_host_management

winrm s winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="Hyper-V"}' has been run.

I am at a loss. At this point the only viable option is to take a nap, if you know what I mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One last tid bit - I get different errors if I try to connect using hostname vs. IP address. Either way though it's an authentication issue.

Multi site environment in Hyper-V

0
0

I want to create a lab to test out multi site environment on Hyper-V. 

I need to create different subnents (from different classes if possible) and connect them to test out multi site AD replication on a single Hyper-V server.

But I'm not sure how to achieve this. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks. 

Hyper-V 2016 manually controlling installed integration services version

0
0

We recently updated our Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster to Server 2016 which created an issue with our Veeam application-aware backup jobs that utilize VSS through the Hyper-V integration services.  Veeam support has requested that we update the version of integration services installed on our VMs from 6.3.9600.x to "one compatible with the current version of Hyper-V".  

From what I've read, the integration services (that we used to install from the Action menu within the Hyper-V console) are now updated via Windows Update within the guest:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/compute/hyper-v/what-s-new-in-hyper-v-on-windows

So...we have run all available Windows Updates for these VMs in question, but they still show Integration Services version 6.3.9600.x??  Does any one know how to manually acquire or force an upgrade to the most current Integration Services version available on Hyper-V 2016?

Side note for anyone who has run into issues determining the Integration Services version within PowerShell on 2016--powershell on the Hyper-V 2016 cluster incorrectly reports IntegrationServicesVersion as 0.0 when the following command is run:

Get-VM | ft Name,IntegrationServicesVersion

To determine the actual version level, we had to run this command remotely from a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server against the 2016 server as follows:

Get-VM -ComputerName "hyperv2016servername" | ft Name,IntegrationServicesVersion

Thanks,

Andrew




Windows 2012 Hyper-V - Enable Replication Failed due to iSCSI disks

0
0

I have successfully replicated all VM's, but 1 VM failed due to the following error:

Cannot enable replication for 'VM02' because one or mor iSCSI disks are attached to the virtual machine.

What doesn't make sense is I am able to do a Live-Migration between Hyper-V host without a single issue, but you can't replicate!

Here is the VM / Host configuration:

The VM has a SAN connected via iSCSI Initiator.  I am not using a Virtual Target or VHD's.  There are 2 Volumes on the SAN and the Volumes are bound as drives E & G.  The SAN is connected to a dedicated switch and BOTH of my Hyper-V hosts have 2 NIC's each connected to the dedicated switch.  BOTH Hyper-V hosts have identical Virtual Switches named SAN1 & SAN2 so no matter what host the VM resides on it can connect to the physical SAN.iSCSI Initiator

Server 2012 R2 to 2016 Live Migration crashing vmms.exe on 2016

0
0

I just installed a new 2016 server and added it to my failover cluster. This cluster has 4 2012 R2 machines that I plan on upgrading to 2016. I can add the server and everything looks fine, but when I try to live migrate machines vmms.exe will crash on the new 2016 server. I can randomly get machines to migrate over, but it is rare. I've also had 1 machine reboot on me during testing. Here is the event log:

Hyper-V Snapshot Failure when Running from Veeam - VSS Error EventID 12293

0
0

Hello,

We have two Windows Servers 2012 R2 machines, one is a Hyper-V host, the other is acting as a storage server with an SMB 3.0 Share holding the VM files (config and disks)

Having an issue when running VM Backups from Veeam, that Veeam is saying the issue is on Microsofts end.  

We have two VMs that are on the storage server with a SMB 3.0 Share.  Whenever veeam starts to run a backup, they fail unable to create a snapshot.  The eventlog shows a VSS error 12293 that shows as follows:

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error calling a routine on a Shadow Copy Provider {89300202-3cec-4981-9171-19f59559e0f2}. Routine details BeginPrepareSnapshot({8b4d2fdd-a49d-4610-bae0-5d1f14f2f995},{a625f077-115a-4f72-83b9-0a485bcfeeb2},\\SSHM01\VMS\) [hr = 0x80042302, A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error. 
Check the Application event log for more information. 
]. 

Operation: 
Add a Volume to a Shadow Copy Set 

Context: 

Execution Context: Coordinator

The strange thing is, taking a checkpoint in hyper-v manager works fine on these VMs and replication via hyper-v Manager works fine as well.  Can anyone help with this error we are getting?  I have tried reregistering the VSS Components on both the host and storage servers.


Thank You

Windows Server Standard Virtualization

0

I have 3 physical servers and am interested in virtualizing using Hyper-V in order to role out multiple technologies. We have Windows Server Standard Edition and want to do (2) VMs per machine but am not sure which virtual servers I should put together.

Here are the technologies I'd like to run:

Domain Controller / DNS/ print & file sharing

Exchange Server

SQL Server

SharePoint Foundation 2013

Office App Server

Remote Desktop Services

Can anyone offer a recommended server configuration and specific things that I should or shouldn't put together, or things I shouldn't virtualize at all?

Thanks

Problem with Host Guardian Service and the certificates

I installed the HGS with an HSM and everything works well. I used the guide https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/security/guarded-fabric-shielded-vm/guarded-fabric-setting-up-the-host-guardian-service-hgs#use-your-own-certificates-with-an-hsm where you have to create one certificate for signing only and one certificate for encryption only.

Now I try to get the HGS guardian metadata from the HGS server (as explained in https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/datacentersecurity/2016/06/06/step-by-step-creating-shielded-vms-without-vmm/) via

PS C:\var> Invoke-WebRequest http://hsmhgs.hsm.test/KeyProtection/service/metadata/2014-07/metadata.xml -OutFile C:\HGSGuardian.xml

I get an internal server error like this one:

PS C:\var> Invoke-WebRequest http://hsmhgs.hsm.test/KeyProtection/service/metadata/2014-07/metadata.xml -OutFile C:\var\HGSGuardian.xml
Invoke-WebRequest : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Error xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

If I now check the log file of the HSM log then I can see that the application try to crypt something with the signing certificate. Of course, the HSM throws an error because this key is not allowed to use for encryption and decryption.

Is this a bug in the HGS or is it wrong to deny encryption for the signing certificate?

Equivalent to VirtualBox Host-Guest Communication Manager in Hyper-V?

0
0

Hello,

Chapter 7 of the VirtualBox SDK Programming Guide (pdf) explains that the "VirtualBox Host-Guest Communication Manager (HGCM) allows a guest application or a guest driver to call a host shared library."

Is there anything like this in Hyper-V?

The document also goes into a bit more details on the implementation, stating "HGCM uses the VMM virtual PCI device to exchange data between the guest and the host."

Is it possible to implement a 3rd-party virtual device in Hyper-V?

Thanks for your time!

Hyper-V VM Generation 2 - How to boot from .ISO

0
0

Hi guys, 

Server OS: Windows Server 2012 R2

I have a VM Gen2 with following settings: 

I can boot fine from the same .iso from a Gen1 VM so the .iso is bootable. 

I know that the Gen2 VM uses SCSI instead of IDE, but I have no clue regarding how to boot from the .iso..

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Kenny

Parallel Live Shared-Nothing migration

Hi,

I've come accross the following article which I find very interesting:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/keithmayer/2012/10/04/live-migrate-your-vms-in-one-line-of-powershell-31-days-of-favorite-features-in-winserv-2012-part-4-of-31/

We have done some modification to the powershell script so that it live migrates all VMs from a specific source:

$VMList = Get-VM -ComputerName $SOURCE


Then we pass VMList to the ForEach -Parallel loop so that it migrates multiple VMs at once.

Due to some network throughput limitation, our live migration limit is set to 2.

The problem we are currently facing is the script is trying to live migrate all those VMs at once.

eg:

Move-VM : Virtual machine migration operation for 'WSUS' failed at migration source 'HYPER03'. (Virtual machine ID
1FC0CF8A-F7C2-45ED-A405-54D9366FF508)
Failed to perform migration on virtual machine 'WSUS' because virtual machine migration limit '2' was reached, please
wait for completion of an ongoing migration operation. (Virtual machine ID 1FC0CF8A-F7C2-45ED-A405-54D9366FF508)
At Invoke-ParallelLiveMigrate:73 char:73++ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Microsoft.Hyper...VMMigrationTask:VMMigrationTask) [Move-VM], Virtualizat
   ionOperationFailedException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : OperationFailed,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.MoveVMCommand+ PSComputerName        : [localhost]

Is there a way to perform simultaneous live migration but not exceeding the limit set in hyperv ?

The problem is that I can't copy and paste or cut and paste files or directories from desktop (or other locations ) to an opened virtual machine's window, even dragging the object with the mouse, the pointer become the prohibited icon.

So how can I activate this function (if it is possible)?

What should we do and if/how can we do this using local storage and possibly a robust backup strategy?

Virtual switch issues after removing Nic teaming

0
0

Working with Windows 2016.
We had nic teaming enabled in LACP mode and created a virtual switch from that which was working fine.
We later removed the virtual switch and the nic teaming and created a virtual switch directly on one of the network interfaces but the new virtual switch will not connect to the network. The interface itself connects to the network without any issue but as soon as we create the virtual switch connectivity is lost.
We have verified the configuration details on that virtual switch are the correct ones.
We also tried re-installing hyper-v role, rebooting and re-installing but we are no longer able to get the virtual switches to work. Re-creating a team and creating a vswitch on the team also fails.

I have replicated this on 2 servers and have not been able to fix this.
Thanks for any help.

Create Homelab deparate from Main Network and give Access Point

Hello everbody. I am trying to create a homelab .

This homelab consists in a desktop that has 2 ethernet gigabit cards, and one wifi card.

This homelab has installed windows server 2012 R2 with HyperV role.

Whithin hyperV i have installed:

         DC (windows server 2012 R2 with DNS-DHCP and Domain Controller)

         IPCOP (virtual router that connects with my ISP Router)

                       IPCOP separate the main network (192.168.0.1/24) from the laboratory network (192.168.1.1/24)

                       DC acts as DHCP in the laboratory network

The thing is, that i want to use the wifi card (of my homelab) as an access point to connect from an external computer (like my laptop) trough this access point (and also be routed to internet).

For now, the only "access point" i have, is the one that the ISP provides me. But this access point, gives access to the "main network", and i want to create another access point to access from outside to the "laboratory network" (192.168.1.1/24).

First, of all, sorry about my english, i tried to be as simple as i can to explain it.

I will really apreciatte any help to create an access point in laboratory network .

I'll post a graphic to be more comprehensive.

Debian VM reverts to host's IP address on Windows 10

Has anybody seen (and knows how to correct) the following behavior of a Debian VM running in a Windows 10 host? 

The VM is connected to the network via an external virtual switch associated with a Wireless card in the Windows 10 host. If I reboot the host and start the VM, the wireless router assigns one IP address to the VM and a different address to the Windows 10 host (e.g. the host is 192.168.0.102 and the VM is 192.168.0.104). When I connect to the router, I see both machines with separate addresses. 

If I leave the VM unattended for a while it changes its IP address to the host's address (in my example it would now be 192.168.0.102). The router, however, still sees the VM connected to its original address (in my example it would be 192.168.0.104), but when I ping that address I get "Destination host unreachable". 

Restarting or rebooting the VM itself does give it a different IP address - it is holing to the host's address. I have to restart the host to get two IP addresses (at least for a while).  

I tried it on two different hosts and I get the same behavior. I would like to understand what is happening, and if it can be prevented.
