Hyper-V 2016 VMs stuck 'Creating checkpoint 9%' while starting backups

$
0
0

We have a two clustered W2016 Hyper-V hosts, every couple of days one of the hosts gets stuck when the backup kicks off. In Hyper-V manager the VMs all say 'Creating checkpoint 9%' It's always the same percentage 9%. You can't cancel the operation and the VMMS service refuses to stop, the only way to get out of the mess is to shutdown the VMs, and hard reset the effected node. The backup works for a few days then it all starts again.

The only events I can see on the effected node is:

Event ID: 19060 source: Hyper-V-VMMS

'VMName' failed to perform the 'Creating Checkpoint' operation. The virtual machine is currently performing the following operation: 'Creating Checkpoint'.

Can anybody help please? Cluster validation is clean. Hosts and guests are patched up.


Upgraded host server from 2012 R2 to 2016. Hyper-V gues hangs on the black Hyper-V screen

I have several virtual machines that were running fine on my Windows server 2012 R2 host. The host is now running Windows Server 2016. When I attempt to boot the virtual servers they hang on the black Hyper-V screen and I do not have the circle of dots at the bottom... It just hangs there.

If I move them to a Server 2012 host, they boot fine.

Any idea what I can do to get them to boot up on the 2016 host?

Virtual machine located on a removable drive

I have a virtual machine located on a removable drive. This drive sleeps when not in use for an extended period of time. If Hyper-V Manager is started when the drive is asleep, Manager reports that the virtual machine state is "Off-critical". OK, but when the drive spins up a couple of seconds later, it takes up to two minutes for Manager to figure it out and update the VM status to "Off". Is there a way to speed up the polling cycle to minimize the time it takes for Manager to recognize the updated state of the drive?

I currently have a half dozen AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6272, 2100 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s) that I would like to use in my Hyper-V nested visualization plans. Can someone tell me if the CPU's are supported or not. I thought they were but I keep getting the same error that the CPU hardware is not supported for nested visualization.

Can someone give me an answer on this?

I am working on creating a powershell command to export live VMs on server 2019 with replication enabled to another server 2019 and I am wanted to check to see how the replication files are included in the export?  the replication occurs every 5 minutes on the host computer.

below is the basic command I use:

Hello team,

I need your urgent help please, I've tried to start VM machine under Hyper V Windows 2008 R2 but always fail with below error.

it was working on the beginning then suddenly get stopped. even more I tried to create a new VHD machine but fail to initiate it with the same error. checked the bios settings for the physical server, increased memory for the virtual machine, followed up all tips I found in google but no luck.

Our server crashed and the backup became corrupted

We have recovered the server and have been able to merge the VHDX.

We are now getting the following error when we run a backup and have found that this AVHDX file is no long available on the server and we asre not able to recover it from a backup.

How do we remove this from the snapshot so it stops the error messages we are getting and the backup failing with warnings.

'Server' is missing a checkpoint. The disk paths missing used to be located at: C:\Virtual Drives\Server_9297A4CD-C97C-47C9-95EE-5BAE006D34A7.avhdx. The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) (Virtual Machine ID 77AEAA27-A845-4981-A0B5-D98F842DDEE5.)

Any help would be good

Page file confusion

Page file confusion

I’m planning to create couple of virtual machines based on Windows Server 2019 (host Windows Serer 2012 R2). One of main will be MS SQL with 128GB RAM – it will be replicated to second site using Hyper-V Replica.

For few hours I’m trying to find advise how to correctly configure page file on the VM (host is clear – just leave it as automatic), and found many contradicting answers. Perhaps somebody can advise something. I found following:

  1. Disable completely page file as you have enough RAM and you don’t need it
  2. Set page file as 1.5xRAM, even if it is huge
  3. Set page file as 1.5x(Total machine RAM – RAM allocated for SQL)
  4. Set page file as automatic
  5. Place page file on OS drive as it won’t be used to much so it can be replicated without any issues.
  6. Place page file on dedicated drive to make sure it won’t se much bandwidth during replication.

All arguments which I read about above are reasonable but I have no idea what really should I chose.

Server 2016 Hyper-V Replica - Planned failover keeps trying to use short domain

$
0
0

I have two Windows Server 2016 machines running Hyper-V.  I've successfully configured Hyper-V replica but I have a problem during planned failover.  When I initiate the planned failover and check "Reverse the replication direction" box, it fails to reverse the replication direction, giving the 29262 error.  Instead of using the FQDN specified in the replica configuration, it uses the format hostname.shortdomain as the server name (the "Pre-2000" domain name).  When I manually reverse the direction and change the replica hostname to the FQDN, it works.

I believe this may have started when I migrated my Active Directory server from 2012R2 to 2016 and decommissioned my WINS server.  My current domain functional level is 2008R2, although I don't know why that would matter.

It seems to me that Hyper-V should be using the FQDN and not the short domain format when reversing direction, but I don't know how to make it do that.  Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

Hyper-V Guest Licensing (Host: 2016 STD / Guest: 2012R2 STD)

$

Hy there!

I apologize in advance for my ignorance with regards to Windows Licensing.

We have a dedicated server with OVH running Windows 2016 Standard, its license is working fine. We have now migrated (via block level disk snapshot) a Windows 2012R2 Standard VM into an Hyper-V guest running on this dedicated server, however, even tough Windows 2016 Standard should provide 2 virtualization rights, this VM is shown as "not activated".

From what I've read we should use AVMA, but that's only available in the Datacenter Edition AFAIK. Some topics suggest we use the same key used by the Host, but apparently that doesn't work between distinct Windows Server releases (2016 vs 2012).

I've seen some topics suggesting I have to order a "license downgrade" or something. Does that mean I should contact OVH (from whom I bought the license) and request a Windows 2012R2 Standard license for this Hyper-V VM?

This is go into production tomorrow, so please let me know how we can sort this out as soon as possible.

Thanks!


Hyper-V 2019 - Guest VM's shutdown unexpectedly

$
0

Hi,

Since upgrading my Hyper-V servers to Windows Server 2019, including KB4471332 from last night, my guest VM's do not power down on restart of the 2019 host.

I can confirm integration components are as up to date as possible, and each guest is configured to shutdown when the host restarts.

Each guest gets the "Why did I shutdown unexpectedly message".

The even viewer yields the following all within 30 seconds of restarting the host:

Shut down physical computer. Stopping/saving all virtual machines...

'ADFS' failed to perform the 'Shutting Down' operation. The virtual machine is currently performing the following operation: 'Shutting Down'. (Virtual machine ID 0CFDF648-EE9D-4141-9EBD-9A6D911C3442)
'ADFS' failed to shut down. (Virtual machine ID 0CFDF648-EE9D-4141-9EBD-9A6D911C3442)

The Update Orchestrator Service service terminated with the following error:
This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

Failed to restore configuration for port 59229EE2-C880-4BF2-9849-89A21EC17772 (Friendly Name: ) on switch 300C0E17-E123-4182-BE62-AAD1860BE841 (Friendly Name: ), status = Object Name not found..

Everything is configured as it was on the 2016 Hyper-V host.

The message ADFS failed to shut down because it is shutting down seems terribly odd to me.  Of course its shutting down, just need the host to wait. (Yes the registry is set to 120 as the default time for the host....)

Fairly simple to recreate....just spin up a 2019 server, install Hyper-V role, throw in a VM and test.

Any help would be appreciated, but my money is on it being another bug.

Cannot connect to newly created VM

$

Hello,

I am running Server 2016 Standard.

The Server is a member of a domain

I'm logged in with a Domain Admin account

I am unable to connect to the VM that I have created. I have tried both Gen1 and Gen2 VM. I have tried restarting the host.

The VM (Gen1) is reported as 'running' and in the preview screen I can see the initial dialog box for Windows setup, but I cannot connect to the VM.

This is really annoying.

I've spent some time trying to find an answer - and so far found nothing that works. Some one said removing McAfee worked for them, I only have the Windows firewall installed. There is very little 3rd party applications on the server at this point.

Would appreciate troubleshooting suggestions

Thanks

VW
