and it not allowing me to access anything. 

I have look into the firmware setting on the virtual server  and noticed file type called bootmgfw.efi on the firmware virtual setting.  which details 

Description: Windows Boot Manager

Value: \HD(2,GPTBA6F9016-9039-4EED-95D7-7C9DFDA947F4,77056,66560)\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

No Live Migration after KB4487026 (also not after removing it again)

Hi, we're running a 3-node Hyper-V cluster with Windows Server 2016 and a FibreChannel SAN. This morning I installed KB4487026 (and SSU KB4485447) on the first node. 

After the first reboot, the server crashed with BSOD USER_MODE_HEALTH_MONITOR. After resetting it again, server booted fine, had new build installed (14393.2791), and seemed to work. However, it can no longer receive live migrations. All VMs failed their migration back. For each attempt, I get this event:

KB4487026 describes a known issue with SCVMM that seems related:

For hosts managed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), SCVMM cannot enumerate and manage 
logical switches deployed on the host after installing the update.

I cannot perform the suggested workaround (compile two MOF files) because these MOF files are specific to SCVMM and do not exist on our servers.

Still I concluded that the issue must be related to the update and uninstalled it. That did not help though - even after removing KB4487026, Live Migration is still not possible.

I quick-migrated some VMs to the node for now. Does anyone have the same issue, or an idea?

(Live migrations from the updated node to the other nodes or between the other nodes, as well as quick migrations between all nodes, are working fine.)

Windows 2016 server crash

$

Hi,

We have a windows 2016 server running hyper v that crashes when moving data around from the host with users logged into one of the hyper-vs (its the only common factor we can think that might be causing it). It currently runs 2 hyper-vs, one is a print server and the other is a terminal server.

The server is a hp ProLiant DL360 Gen9 bios version P89

Looking at the dmp files via bluescreenview I can see hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe are popping up as the cause of the issue - happy to provide these files on request. ( http://www.filedropper.com/013119-16687-01_1<---  link for one of the small dmp files)

Any assistance would be appreciated.

VM's Server OS type (Standard or DataCenter) while provisioned in Hyper-V hosted on a Windows Server DataCenter Edition

$

Hi There, 

Consider that I have a physical server that has Windows Server 2016 Datacenter edition and it is fully licensed. What type of OS can I provision as VM on this host? "Should" I install Windows Server 2016 Standard edition or can I install Windows server 2016 Standard edition as guest.

Note: I'm not planning to run ant type of nested VM in this setup.

I might not be in the correct community, please send me to the right place.

Thank you,

Hyper-v physical disk help

$

Hi,

I'm having an issue setting up a server 2016 VM on a hyper-V server 2016. I installed 4 2TB disks to setup a mirrored array on the server, so when I setup that VM I added the 4 disks as physical disks in the SCSI controller in hyper-v manager, and everything seemed fine. Power loss occurred a week later, and I noticed that the server VM hadn't auto-started because it couldn't find the physical disks. The hyper-v had partially taken control of the storage pool and I couldn't pass it through to the server VM. I figured it might have been a one-off so I wiped the disks and took them offline to add them to the server again, so once again it worked fine. but a few weeks later we lost power, and again the server VM had lost the disks, this clearly isn't a good procedure to have to rebuild the array every time the server turns off.

I assume I'm doing something horribly wrong, but I am just at a loss. I can provide any additional info if someone would be willing to help me out.

Can you store an deleted VM in hyperv if you have a snap?

We have a hyper-v server and am wondering if the VM is deleted accidentally if a snap made before the deletion will it restore the VM ?

Cluster Network Communication

We have a 3 node Hyper-V cluster running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter connecting to CSV storage on our SAN via Fibre Channel.  

I have a team of 2, 10Gb NICs for the Trunked ports that the VMs use along with a 1 Gb NIC team for the OS and another 10GB Team for Live Migration. 

I also have a two other networks, intended for Cluster Management.  One is on a 100 Mb switch and the other on a 1 Gb switch in an effort to ensure the most paths available to ensure that heartbeat communication continues between the cluster nodes in the event something happens.  The 100 Mb NIC is on a different subnet than the 1 Gb NIC as well.  Below I have listed networks in the failover cluster manager.  I have set things up based on the following guidance: Designating a Preferred Network for Cluster Shared Volumes Communication  Should I put the 2 Clust_Mgmt networks on the same subnet and create another team for them? What is the optimal configuration I should set my networks up as, with a goal of ensuring the most robust heartbeat communication between nodes of the cluster?

.VMCX files grow in size and prevent Live Migration working (Server 2016)

$

We have an issue whereby the .VMCX files for our production VMs have steadily grown in size (from a start point of less than 100KB up to 20MBcurrently!).

This is preventing Live Migration from functioning, and also introducing long delays when attempting to edit the virtual machines.

I have spoken with someone else who has had the same issue, and they tracked it down to being related to having the machines checkpointed regularly - each time the VM is checkpointed the .VMCX file grows a little larger (and doesn't shrink when the check point is removed).

Is there a way to "repair" the .VMCX file?

All VMs are Server 2016, running on a Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct cluster.

Connecting a VM to 2 seperate networks through 2 host adapters

$

Hello All,

I have a windows 2016 host running hyper-v. On the host i have 2 guest os also windows(2012). The host is connected to a corporate network and also a private network through 2 different NICs. I have created 2 vSwitchs Both external and each pointing at different network adapters.

The issue i have is that when both vSwitches are connected to the guest i can access the vm remotely on the corporate network. However i can't ping anything on the private network if i disable the adapter connecting to the corporate vSwitch then i can ping anything on the private network.

Networking is not my strong suit but i know enough to be dangerous so i appreciate any help i can get.

Thanks

tempory copy VM files, reconfig RAID, and put back the VM files

Hi,

I tought i had a simple question, but the internet is not quiet clear about this.

Since i have perfomance issues i want to reconfigure a logical drive (where my VM's are stored).  The drive where my VM's are stored is a RAID6 drive. Apparantly this is not fast enough for an SQL applcation.  So i want to Reconfigure/Rebuild that drive.

Plan of attack :

Since this is a small copmany i can do a full stop. My way of work would be. Shutdown all VM's. Copy everything that is on my D;\ drive to an external device. Start Smart Storage Administrator. Delete the second logical drive. Make a new logical RAID1+0 drive. Copy everything back from my extranl device to my new drive. And startup my VM's

Question :

Will this work ? Is this "best-practice" ? And will my VM's start with no problem ?

Hi,
I did setup a new VM for SQL.  Software vendor installed SQL2017 on it and their application. Clients are complaining about performance and speed of the application.
Is there a way i can approve the performance of the virtual machine or with other words the performance of the application.  by adding more VCPU ? more Memory ? other settings ??
Any help would be welcome.

This is the Host i use :
HP DL380 G10 - 2 processors XeonSilver 4110 -  RAM 144Gb -  SAS disks 10K
RAID5 -> Host
RAID6 -> VM's

These are the VM settings for the (VM) SQL-server
1 Virtual CPU
32Gb RAM (not dynamic)
Disksize is 1Tb

Hyper-V Failed to Change State Error Code 32788

$

Hello Everyone, 

So this issue I've searched long and wide for a resolution and it seems that there are many responses however no 100% fix. 

I'm currently using Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, with 4 Windows 10 VM's attached through Hyper-V. Ultimately I would like to have 2 of the 4 VM's have the Virtual 3dFX add-in card enabled. Everything was working perfectly well when the system wasn't promoted to the domain controller. However, when the system is promoted, the 2 VM's that have the 3dfx add-in, when trying to boot them up, produce the error "Hyper-V Failed to Change State Error Code 32788". 

I've tried: creating a brand new VM after the domain joins with all the basic settings and have narrowed it down to the fact that the VM will boot perfectly fine when the 3dfx card is removed. I've gone through the settings and there was nothing in an error state. I've tried putting the 3dfx settings to the lowest possible, however i dont feel with after joining the domain, that should have any issue. 

Can anyone shed some light on this issue please? 

Thank you in advance! 

Hyper-V Manager not able to connect the Local Server

Dear Experts...

Greetings !!!

1. Issue Description: 
Hyper-V Manager not able to connect the Local Server – Shows connecting to Virtual Machine Manager Service state and did not connect. Hyper-V Host shows Host Not Responding in the SCVMM console
Due to which VDIs were not launching to newly connecting users as just disappearing

2. Temporary Fix:
If we restart the server, the issue will be resolved but the current active users gets impacted. 
Need to power on all the VDIs and ensured all got registered state
And also the same issue keep on re-occurring frequently and affecting production users

3. Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
We tried to restart the service SCVMM and WS-Remote Management service which got restarted. But still the issue persists.
When we restart the WMI Service, one of its dependent service Hyper-V Virtual Machine Manager (vmms.exe) goes to stopping state and neither stopped nor restarted.
Tried to kill the vmms.exe process from task manager and via command prompt using the commands but it never destroyed. 
It says cannot stop the Virtual machine manager service, already another running instance exists, access denied (when kills process from task manager), etc.
Until the server reboot the issue will not be resolved.

Thanks in Advance ...
