RetainVhdCopiesOnSource option

0
0
what does the -RetainVhdCopiesOnSource option actually do?

i've tested it in conjunction with the move-vmstorage cmdlet and it does not copy the VHD file as it suggests, it moves it

i also can't seem to leverage it with move-vm or when combining move-vm & compare-vm cmdlets together, error is:

Compare-VM : A parameter is invalid. No virtual hard disk can be found with given criteria

i read on a different thread that -RetainVhdCopiesOnSource is actually just for snapshots but TechNet does not state that

Network consideration with S2D HyperConverge

0
0

Hi,

I am setting up a S2D hyper-converge solution on 2016.

Traditionally, when we set up a hyper-v host, we tend to split the traffic for management/live migration/cluster/storage and etc into different NICs.

With S2D coming into the picture and all network being converged over a pair of 10G network, I realise that SMB tends to use all available inter-cluster communication networks.

Does it still make sense to create different vNICs to cater to live migration or management?

Do  i need 1 vNIC or 2 vNIC for SMB? I saw some guides specifying only 1 vNIC for SMB while some requires 2. Do they need to be on the same vlan or separate vlan?

Thanks

Need to release/renew IP every time I change to new wifi network

0
0

I'm running Server 2012 with a Hyper-V VM of Windows 8.  As it's on a laptop, I've installed the wifi feature and take the laptop to work at times.

My server 2012 host machine is set to connect to my home wifi with DHCP, and when I reach work I connect to my work wifi.

My problem is that whenever I connect to a new wifi network (be it work, home, café etc), I get a "limited" connection, and need to deactivate/reactive the NIC on BOTH the host and then the VM (or release/renew the ipconfig).  In other words, the existing IP and gateway from the last wifi network remain, even when connecting to my new wifi network.

Both the NICs are set to default "auto" (DHCP).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks

Virtual switch interferes with NIC

0
0

Hi

Windows Server 2016 Standard host. During adding hyper-v I chose to establish a virtual switch from the server's single NIC. After server is rebooted it turns out a number of features in the server's NIC are un-selected including IPV4. One effect is that server is inaccessible from outside.

My question is what is the problem here and what is the proper way to create a hyper-v to host Windows Server 2016 + Exchange 2016 so the hyper-v based setup (Windows Server + Exchange) gets good quality network connection?

Thanks

Approach for modifying Hyper-V Networking for Cluster

0
0

Hi,

I am looking for best high level approach to re-configuring networking for existing Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster.  Here are the highlevel changes.

Today cluster/mgmt/live migration/vmNIC interfaces sit on top of virtual switch (10Gbit x 2 LACP team).

Change would include removing host mgmt interfaces so that they don't sit on top of virtual switch.  Ultimately recreating cluster/mgmt/live migration/ interfaces so that they can use 20Gbit bandwidth vs ~4.6Gbps.  Obviously this means no more logical switch from SCVMM.  Here are the steps I'm thinking for 3 node cluster:

1.  Evict single node from cluster to make networking change on

2.  Remove existing  networking configuration for evicted node from SCVMM, idrac access in place

3.  Re-create host mgmt interfaces/virtual switches with PowerShell

4.  Add node back to cluster.

5.  Repeat process for other nodes.

6.  Benchmark for success

Hyper V machine not starting after VHD size increase

Hi, 

One of our vm's secondary VHD data drives needed increasing so i did that but then found out that there are also avhd files so it has now broken the chain. I have tried the vhdtool.exe repair but it says that the child and parent ID's do not match. Any ideas as im pretty lost on what to do now :(

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


Parallel Live Shared-Nothing migration

0

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 ?





Snapshot/Backup of Domain-Controller VMs not possible on Server 2016 Hyper-V Host?

0
0

Hello,

we have two Server 2008 R2 domain controllers running as VMs on a Server 2016 Hyper-V host.

We can't take snapshots of these VMs, getting Event-IDs 3280 from Hyper-V-Worker and 18012 from Hyper-V-VMMS, which also means we can't take backups.

We have tested this, and the error occurs as soon as ther server becomes a domain controller.
We can take snapshots without issues of all ohter VMs, which are no comain controllers.

Any ideas?

Kind regards

How do I Remotely manage Hyper V 2012 R2@ from Windows server 2018?

I was trying to connect to my Hyper-V 2012R2 from Windows server 2018. I was using RSAT to connect to the hyper-v server. I need to know whether it is the compatibility issue. I was facing the following error.

Is there any way to monitor the status of virtual NICs from hyper-v manager?

0
0

Hi,

The “status” column in hyper-v manager shows “OK” or “Degraded” for virtual NICs. But it can not tell whether the vNIC is down or up. With powershell command “Get-Adapter”, we could monitor the up/down status of physical NICs. Is there any way to get the up/down status of vNICs  similar to that?

Error when trying to attach USB Hard Drive to Virtual Machine

0
0

Hello,

Since about 4 months ago, we are having trouble when trying to connect a USB drive to our virtual machines.

We have 2 Dell PowerEdge R430 servers with Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V installed, when I connect a USB Drive while the physical machine is running, I can't attach the USB drive to the virtual machines, for it to work I need to restart the physical machine with the USB drive already plugged in, after doing this I can connect the USB drive to the virtual machine again, but, if for some reason I unplug and plug it again, it shows me this error:

NOTE: I was going to insert an image here, but Technet wouldn't allow me, because it says my account is not verified, so I've uploaded it to: h t t p s : //s14.postimg.org/hwk41jykx/1471635468078_remmina_2016_12_2_19_27_55_491706.png

As you can see in the above screenshot, the disk is set Offline at Disk Management and I'm using Physical Disk Option at SCSI section in Hyper-V manager, this used to work before, but it started occuring this error at some point that I don't remember, maybe after any update, I can't say for sure.

This same error also occurs at the other server, which is equal to this one, but with different virtual machines.

I couldn't find any details on event viewer, so I can't figure out the reason for this error.

Please help, we use to change the backup media every week and it's obviously nonsense to reset the physical server once a week, every time we have to exchange the disk.

Let me know if you need any more details.

Sorry for the poor english.

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

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:

Why is the hypervisor running even after Hyper-V is uninstalled ?

Hi,

I'm running into a weird issue on my Lenovo Z51 laptop. Its equipped with an intel i7 processor and is running Windows 10 Pro (Build 14393). I had Hyper-V installed on this laptop with all kinds of VMs running for a while. Then I got a VMware license and decided to uninstall Hyper-V. I uninstalled Hyper-V by going to "Turn Windows Features on or off", unchecking all options under Hyper-V and then rebooting the machine on the prompt.

After the reboot, I installed VMware but when I try to start the VMs, it gives me an error that Hyper-V is still running. In the "Turn Windows Features on or off", the box for Hyper-V is unchecked. However, when I look at msinfo32 it still says:

>> "A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed." <<

Coreinfo.exe says the same thing:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz
Intel64 Family 6 Model 61 Stepping 4, GenuineIntel
Microcode signature: 00000021
HYPERVISOR      *       Hypervisor is present <---------
VMX             -       Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization
EPT             -       Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)

I did a lot of hunting and already tried the below assuming some corruption:
"SFC /scannow" & reboot,
"dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" &  reboot
"bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off & reboot

None of these worked.

Why does it say the hypervisor is present when I have uninstalled Hyper-V ? What can I do to fix this and run VMware ?

I have Hyper-v replication enabled and on the replica server some files with the VHDX names that I currently have are been duplicated but with the extension VHDX.TMP "myvhdx.VHDX.TMP".
Can I delete them?
for what they are needed?

I did search across the web and didn't find much about the issue, also on msdn there is no reference about .vhdx.tmp file types.

I was experimenting with the Hyper-V "Planned Failover" functionality, from a primary VM to its replica on another machine.  One of the tests I did was doing a Planned failover, canceling the planned failover, and then removing replication altogether.  I'm not 100% sure if this is the cause of what I'm seeing, but it seems the most likely.

What I'm seeing is these mysterious F and G drives, which I AM 100% sure are not actual physical disks:

The size of the G: drive is EXACTLY the size of the virtual machine hard disk that I was testing in the Planned Failover testing I mentioned prior.

The virtual machine in question is safely running on another machine, and I have deleted the virtual machine replica from this machine (Using the Delete Virtual Machine functionality in the main Hyper-V management screen), but the virtual hard disk still is hanging around - I can't delete it.  It's in the default Hyper-V replicas folder, and this is what I get when I try to delete it (it's a virtual dynamically expanding disk that has 35 GB of content, but has a set max size of 127 GB):

looking in the Server File and Storage Services section, which I'm not terribly familiar with, I see this:

How do I safely delete the F and G volumes, and delete the currently undeletable .VHDX file?  And does anybody know what causes this nonsense to happen?
