Hi,

Connect to a remote 2008 server running Hyper V with 3 VM's running.  The VM's are running fine and I can connect to each using third party remote desktop software.  Recently, however, this is the only way I can connect as when I select "connect" in Hyper-V I am getting an error as follows:

Virtual Machine Connection

An error occurred when trying to register for IME events for '<VM name>'.

The operation on computer ;localhost' failed.

Solutions I have found seem to relate to remote policy issues but I can't see this being the case here(and it has only recently started doing this!).

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I have a hyper-v cluster of two nodes.

On the hyper-v settings, I did setup both path of the VM config and VM files to the shared storage. However, when I run cluster validation, I see that one VM points to local path for its config file. (This same VM, shows on the SCVMM with status 'Unsupported Cluster Configuration'). So the question would be: How to modify the path of the configuration file of this specific VM to point to the shared storage.

Thank you for your help.

Hello all

well.. on all my windows 2012 server installs i always had device setup manager errors.. at first i didnt paied to it too much attention but after some installs i got bored of this and wanted to dig into it, especially when hyper v role is installed.

(This workaround works for domain and not domain joined hosts) 

I think this is something Microsoft has to address.. 

I found that it happens whenever there's a creation of  snapshots, so on a hyper host more frequently then on a win 2012 box without it.

whenever a snaphost is invoked doesnt' matter from what application, device setup manager involved in mounting it  ask for its driver wich obviously comes from inside the box.

After a better understanding of what the problem was  i wanted to dig into policies.. and here i got this 2 policies to workaround it..

local computer , turn off windows update device driver searching and specify search order for device driver source locations.

After disabling the first and enabling the second by choosing search windows update only if needed my errors gone away.

It sounds like windows 2012 has a problem with the driver in the box so with these policies after a first local search going to WU for the driver solves it.

Would like someone from Microsoft address better this.. Thanks

Hope it helps someone..

Regards

64GB RAM

300GB SAS x 3 units with RAID 5

Dual Power Supply

HBA Dual Port card with 8GB

Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

HP SAN Storage MSA2024

The server was install 4 x Guest OS

1. Process Server (MSMQ)

2. SQL 2008 R2 Standard Database Server

3. SQL 2008 R2 Standard Database Server (Report)

4. Web service and Web Server

The Hyper V Guest servers was running fine, but I found that the problem was Virtual network no connectivity issue always happen. The triangle sign will appear to the server once or two in a month. I need to use Hyper V Manager to go in the server and do manually restart when it happen triangle sign on Network.

I also set the each servers restart daily every night at 3.00am. All the hyper V Guest and host was installed with latest windows update.

Anybody facing this kind of issue ? how to resolve it?

Please excuse the basic question. I haven't been using Hyper-V long and I need to understand how the networking works.

As best as I can tell, the system is composed of these components: NIC1, NIC2, vSwitch, VM1, vNIC.

• NIC1 is physical and connected to the network switch. It is configured to use static address 172.31.255.1. The host OS (WS2012) uses this.
• NIC2 is physical and connected to the network switch. It has no network configuration. In its properties, the "Properties" button for the IPv4 protocol is disabled.
• vSwitch is a virtual switch that is connected to NIC2.
• VM1 is a virtual machine that is connected to vSwitch. It is configured to use static address 172.31.255.2.
  
• vNIC is a virtual NIC. It has dynamically taken address 169.254.103.184.

My questions are:

1) Is this a typical setup or am I out to lunch. I found most of this configured for me with the installation of Hyper-V and the setup of the VM.

2) By configuring vSwitch to be connected to NIC2, it seems that it's wrong to think of NIC2 as beingconnected to vSwitch. Instead, I should think of NIC2 not as a NIC of the computer, but as one of several ports on a network switch. Is that a reasonable way to regard NIC2 and vSwitch?

3) What role does vNIC serve in all of this? It seems like it's doing nothing at all.

I ask because I am preparing to set up replication between this physical machine and another. When I run the failover cluster report, it says "Node MACHINE1 has an IPv4 address 169.254.103.184 configured as Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) for adapter vNIC. This adapter will not be added to the Windows Failover Cluster."

I don't normally like ignoring warnings. I'd rather fix something so the warning goes away. Any ideas what I should do?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I have one WS2012 server with roles AD, DNS, DHCP and Hyper-V. This server is used just for education purpose with our clean laptops. User scenario is: I create VMs on server and users connect to server. Usually we create VMs with Private network so end-user cannot connect to VMs through RDP and in that case they user Hyper-V console on laptops and direct connection to Hyper-V server and then connect to each VMs. This is my security issue because all users can see all VMs.

I must use private network for VMs and now I'd like to implement solution when user1 can see only his/her VMs on Hyper-V server. Can you please advice how I can setup this?

Thnx.

Hi,

We currently use a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper V Cluster. Because we wanted to migrate virtual machines from one node to another, we installed a shared storage box based on iSCSI. One of the new features of Windows 2012 is live migration without the requirement of shared storage. This sounds great because our rack space is very limited. Being able to remove the storage box with it's complexity, great... Only, I noticed from a few other posts, that you still need clustering if you require live migration to happen when one node fails. This is a feature that we rather not like to miss, except if we can work around it with Hyper V Replica for example?

Our current scenario is as follow: the virtual servers are balanced between two nodes on one physical location, when one node fails, we want them to be available on the other node until the other node is available again. Our nodes are provisioned that they can handle the increased load of hosting all virtual servers for a limited time on one node. 

Is it a good idea to use Hyper V Replica for this scenario. What will we exactly miss (pro/cons) compared to our current scenario? Are there other disadvantages/advantages or maybe other solutions? The main goal is to get around the shared storage and remove the complexity and cost (rack space/power consumsion).

Thank you.

Is is normal that files copy from one cluster node local disk to another cluster node local disk transfers over the CSV and LM network and not through the management network? 

Love the speed though as the files get copied above the 1gbps speed.

I am attempting to move a VM from a stand alone Hyper-V 2012 Server to a 4-node Hyper-V 2012 Cluster.  This stand alone Hyper-V host had about a dozen VMs on it.  I have been successful in doing a "live migration" of all but one VM.  This last VM goes all the way to the very end (which takes nearly 12 hours) and then at the last minute, it gives me this error:

"There was an error during move operation.

Virtual machine migration operation failed at migration destination.

Failed to get security info.

As far as I can see, I haven't done anything differently with this VM as compared with the other VMs that migrated just fine.

Hi All,

I'm making the jump and migrating our environment from vSphere to Hyper-V 3.0. So far, most things have made sense in terms of what their equivalent commands/configurations are between vSphere and Hyper-V, but I'm really baffled by networking. Here's how I have things set up in vSphere: 2 NICs teamed for LAN traffic and 2 NICs in MPIO configuration dedicated to iSCSI traffic. On the LAN side, I've got a VM that has to see VLAN 210 (our voicemail server), but the rest of the VMs should only see VLAN 200. I also do my management over this network. On the iSCSI side, a few VMs need to access this network (to do direct-to-SAN backups and such), but by and large most are not connected to it. Here's how vSphere portrays it:

I'm at a loss as to how to configure something similar on the Windows side. I've made a team, but beyond that I don't know what to do. Where do I set up virtual switches? Where do I create networks inside these switches? How do I apply VLANs? What happens if I Live Migrate a VM from one host to another? How does it know which networks it gets? We have VMM 2012 SP1 Beta running, too - should I be doing this configuration inside that?

Thanks!

Hello and good day,
     I’m currently running Windows 8 enterprise and I encountered an issue with the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (vhdx) Hyper-V image I created. Once the image was created and configured I ran SysPrep to create an OOBE and mount the VHDX image to the student laptops. I encountered the following issue:
    Due to .vhdx been a new extension recognized by Windows 8 and Server 2012, when I tried to mount the vhdx to an actual machine it gave a “not able to recognize image” error massage.
     I converted the vhdx to vhd using the converter provided by Hyper-V. I tried to mount the vhdx to an actual machine it gave me the same error message.
   I did the following steps to mound the vhd to a student laptop:
         1.       Created a folder called vhd [c:\vhd]
         2.       Copy ‘StudentOOBE.vhd’ to the vhd folder
         3.       Rename ‘StudentOOBE.vhd’ to PWStudent.vhd
         4.       Ran CMD (Admin) and typed the following commands:
                        bcdedit /copy {current} /d ”PWStudent”
         5.      There is a GUID that is created. Right click the quid in the command prompt and select ‘Mark’. Highlight the                         GUID including the brackets and press enter.
         6.     Then I typed the following commands:
                         bcdedit /set { paste guid here } device vhd=[C:]\vhd\PWStudent.vhd
                          bcdedit /set { paste guid here } osdevice vhd=[C:]\vhd\ PWStudent.vhd
                          bcdedit /set { paste guid here } detecthal on
         7.     Press Windows Key + R and type ‘msconfig’ in the run box. Press enter.
         8.     Click on the ‘Boot’ tab.
         9.     Click on the Student### thus making it the default OS.
         10.   Change time out to 5 seconds and click ‘Apply’ and then ‘Ok’.
         11.   Restart the laptop and run through the OOBE, unfortunately once I restart the laptop it does not recognized the                    image and I get the “unrecognizable image” error

Please advice
 
Thank you
