Driver installations with Hyper-V 2008 R2

November 21, 2012, 2:23 pm

A few of our servers are custom built using the Asus P8B-X motherboards.

The ones I have a problem with are Chipset and VGA. 

I got the drivers from the ASUS web site, but they are all .exe installers. If I try to use 7-zip, it shows a few hundred files and a bunch of .inf ones. Not sure which to pick?

At least with the RAID controller, I had to pick it during the installation so that driver is already installed.

If the VGA is not really a big deal, I can avoid it, but I know the chipset would be an important one to have.

As for networking, we have onboard Intel gigabit ports and a PCI-E dual Intel gigabit card - 4 ports total on each system. Would like to setup teaming with 2 ports to use with the few VM's we'll have running.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Affinity and Anti-affinity settings

I keep seeing mentions of virtual machine affinity and anti-affinity settings for Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V in whitepapers and blog posts but I can't seem to find out how to apply these settings. I'm familiar with the old antiaffinityclassnames method with cluster.exe but can't find a comparable setting in any management tools (Hyper-V Manager, Failover Cluster Manager) or in powershell. Where can I find this setting and the documentation for it?

Hyper-V on Windows 8 - Network Connection Issues

Hi,

I have some VM images running on my Windows 8 laptop, I previously had these images running with Oracle VirtualBox (the drives are VHDs) and the internal network connected fine (VM images could talk to one another).

Now that I have moved the images into Hyper-V for Windows 8 and created a new network adapter, no server can talk to one another.

The Images/VHDs I have running are; Active Directory, Sharepoint and Lync.  I had created an internal network using 192.168.xxx.xxx addresses for all the machines.

Here is/are my question(s);

  • What is the proper way to configure a Hyper-V Network to allow the images to talk to one another?
  • What is the proper way to allow these images to communicate externally with the internet?  I have 1 NIC on my laptop and when HV took over the connection I could no longer access the internet from the host of my laptop.

Thanks - Greg.

When I try to enable bandwidth management in Hyper-V on a server 2012 I get this error:

Error applying Network Adapter changes

The operation failed

Failed while applying switch port setting "Ethernet Switch Port Bandwidth Setting" on switch "Virtual network". 
One or more arguments are invalid (0x80070057).

Is there something I`m missing or is not bandwidth throtteling supported on my network card?

Hyper-V downgrade rights - Server 2008 R2

Hi!

I have the following problem:

If I run a Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter OEM System as a Hyper-V host I can use the virtual key provided by my OEM to use an unlimmeted amount of virtual machines with Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter on this system. But do I have downgrade rights to use Windows Server 2008 R2 Datencenter AND Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003 (R2)? I still want to use some machines with the virtual key and Server 2008 R2 but additionally some machines need to run as Server 2003 R2.

Does the licence right change if I add the server into an cluster?

I found the link to this site (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/downgrade-rights.aspx), but it redirects to the Server 2012 page.  In addition I read different unclear answers during my research. Some people said it is possible and some said it is not legal. I know that I have a downgrade right with the main key but I still want to use Server 2008 R2 as Hyper-V host.

Windows 8 Hyper-v bridged WIFI issues when creating virtual machines

November 26, 2012, 1:45 pm

Hi

I am not sure if this issue has already been fixed 

  1. In hyper-v manager I create 2 network switches: internal and external ( for connecton to a centrino n135  wifi adapter)
  2.  I create a VM to act as a PDC. with 2 network adapters internal and external 
  3. set the default gateway and DNS to this server as it will be the dhcp server for the rest of my VMS
  4. Straight away this created a bridged network adapter on the host and I lost my internet access
  5. updated the centrino n135 driver but this didn't make any difference
  6. This has partially worked http://akfash.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/providing-internet-access-to-hyper-v-machines-through-a-wifi-adapter/
  7. MY pdc VM can connect to the internet and the host internet is now working. However, the VM default gateway is not set correctly as the VM internet connection is very slow.
  8. I guess I need to configure the network on all VMS that they are able to use the DHCP for internal ip and DNS but also ensure that each VM can connect to the default gatway of whatever ISP / WIFI hotspot I am connecting to.....

Hope this makes sense.... Has anyone see these issues.

NIC Teraming - Inside or outside of the VM Guest OS? a Bit of both?

November 18, 2012, 9:36 pm

I'm trying to get a handle on NIC Teaming. After reading several white papers and looking at several blog entries, my head has too many questions floating around in it.

My Setup:

4 Windows 2012 Hosts in a Cluster All running Hyper-V
Management NIC
Redundant Channel NIC
4 other NICs to use for the Hyper-V Guests. 

Guest VMs are:

AD DCs (DNS, WINS, DHCP, AV Server, Print Spooler)
File Server
SQL 2008 R2 Production Server
SQL 2008 R2 Post-Production Server
SQL 2000 Server
IIS 8 Server
A Few Win2012 Member Servers
TeamFoundationStudio Server (SQL, IIS, Sharepoint)
RemoteDesktop Server

My Networking goals are to increase the bandwidth between the SQL 2008 R2 Production Server, SQL 2000 Server and IIS 8 Server. And to have the IIS8 Server pump out more Data to Clients.

Reading through it looks like I have 3 options:

    NIC Teaming on Hyper-V Host
Address Hash
Hyper-V Port

    NIC Teaming within the VM Guest

Seems like the Best is to have NICs connected to the Hyper-V Virtual Switch with SR-IOV and then do NIC Teaming in a Windows 2012 Guest OS.

Though some of my Guest OSes are Windows2003 R2 (for the SQL2000) and Windows 2008 R2 for SQL 2008 R2.

What are my best options to help get better bandwidth ?  Is having all of them on the same Virtual Switch good enough and then Team the IIS8 Server within the Guest?

Was thinking of having 2 of the 4 NICs be Teamed at the Host, and the other two Available to the Hyper-V Switch and be able to NIC Team within the VMs?

Suggestions?

Multiple VMs for Services or Run on Host?

Hey,

I have a general question - maybe somebody might have some insight on....

I just got a new laptop and was configuring it for my development environment.  I wanted to run IIS, SQL Server, TFS, etc.

Originally, I was going to load all of these services on the host PC, but, since I'm new to VMs, etc, I have been playing around w/ Hyper V.

I was thinking about creating a separate VM for :    { IIS Web Server, SQL Server, TFS }.

Is this a recommended approach?  I'm sure they could all run OK on my host PC, but, is there any performance advantage to running each of these on their on VM?

Is this overkill or will I loose performance by doing this? (running multiple VMs vs running all services on host) ?

Thanks

One Server - 2 Virtual Machines

What with SBS 2011 going end of life I am trying to put together alternative solutions

So far I have the following

  • Server 2012 Essentials + Exchange online (Office 365)
  • Server 2012 Essentials + Separate Exchange 2012 server
  • Server 2012 Standard + Separate Exchange 2012 server
  • Server 2012 Standard + Exchange Online (Office 365)

Ok fairly straight forward so far....

Now comes my dilemma

For companies that don't want 2 servers or Exchange Online (Office 365), what's the best solution?

  • Server 2012 Standard (DC) + 2 Virtual Machines (1 x Exchange - 1 x File Server) ???

Your thoughts much appreciated

Many thanks

Hyper-V in a Cluster - Mapping Storage to a Clustered VM...

November 20, 2012, 10:28 am

I have a PowerVault MD3260 with two 4 port SAS Controllers on it. Each of the 4 servers each have 2 SAS Ports one connected to Each Controller on the MD3260. Each of the 4  Host Servers can see all of the shared volumes on the MD3260. The 4 Host are configured in a Cluster. The Cluster passed the Validation Tests and said that the shared volumes were fine, the Quorum Disk, the CSVs and the other Shared Storage. 

Connecting the Shared Storage for a File server to a VM is too clear to me.   In the Current File server setup we have iSCSI Drives mapped as Passthrough Drives to the VM Images.  My understanding With Clustering Hyper-V is you cant to the Mapping of Physical Disk to the VM anymore.

You Make the Disk that will have the file server Data on it a CSV and then place a Dynamic VHDX file on it that all the Hosts can see. Then use that VHDX file in the VM config.  Is this the preferred way to do this or is there a way to map shared storage in a cluster to a VM?

Thanks,

Do my 2008 R2 Enterprise 4 machine use rights still count?

All of my virtual hosts currently run 2008 R2 Enterprise

Unfortunately the SA has expired so I can't upgrade them at present to 2013.

The no-shared-storage migration and replication of HyperV server 2013 is attractive, however, and that edition IS free.

My question is, if I'm still running at least one licenced 2008 R2 Enterprise Server AS A GUEST on the Hyper-V 2013 host, am I still allowed to run 4 servers per physical host?

Virtual Domain Controller - Slow Logout

November 21, 2012, 5:47 am

Hey,

I have a new laptop that I just bought that has Windows 8 on it.  I installed Hyper V, and installed Windows Server 2012 as a guest OS.  I need to do some testing at home with a similar environment to work.  One of the tools that I need to use is Hyper V Virtual Machine Manacer (SCVMM).  That tool requires that the host running it is on a domain.  Therefore, that is why I installed the virtual domain controller.  I created the domain, and joined the host OS to it (Win 8).

I understand that if the DC is not running, the login will use cached credentials, which is fine with me.  My purpose was just to be on a domain, I don't necessarily care if the VM running the DC is online or not.  I would prefer to leave it offline (due to resources).

So, everything seems to work OK when the DC VM is offline.  However, I noticed that sometimes when logging out, it is extremely slow (very slow logout times).  I'm not sure if this is because the Win 8 O/S is trying to contact the DC, and it is timing out.  Is this what is causing the slow time?  Is there a way to shorten this timeout?

Any insight?

Thanks in advance!

With the Importing of a VM in 2012 you have the option of InPlace keeping the registration ID, or copying the VM and placing it in a new location and creating a new Registration ID.

Is there a way to do In In-Place Import of the VM and HDs, though create a new Registration ID?

I'm copying VMs from different Hosts and don't want to have to copy twice to just have it import it with a new ID. 

Thanks!

server 2012 not compacting vhdx files

I have a couple of vhdx files on a 2012 RC host.

One had deduplication run in the guest which cut down the used space from 250 gb to 125 gb.  Compacting it ends in 3 seconds and it doesn't shrink at all, stays at 275 gb.

Another is just a standard vhdx from another guest that has 30 gb of used space, but the vhdx is 39gb.  Compacting also ends immediately with no shrink.

Is compacting broken in rc?

Hello all,

i have re-installed HYPER-V 2012 thrice because of different reasons.

1. I lost connection to the machine cos i disabled the nic card during virtual network adapter creation.

2. I could not get the virtual network card to do vlan identification for the vms.

3. Now i cannot create vm, it says i do not have sufficient permisssion on disks.

I have used the takeown /f for all the volumes and it remains the same.

start_Coreconfig.wsf crashes when launched. Please how else can i manage this server or should i still dump it till microsoft is through with evaluation?

N.B: I use server core 2008R2 without hitches.
