Missing Host-Machine and VMs from Hyper-V in Server 2016

$

0

Hi,

I couldn't see the Host Machine and VMs from the local Hyper-V manager after the HP System Management Homepage (SMH) software installation. I had removed the SMH and it's still unable to show them on the hyper-v manager. 
However, I checked my vmms is running and i still able to access the virtual machine via Teamviewer (so, it's up and running).

Please help me on this issue.

Thanks,

Import VMs Exported from Hyper-V 2019 to Hyper-V 2012 R2

Hi,

We have a situation that we have to do the following:

  1. Move (Export/Import) VMs from Hyper-V 2012 R2 (Old Site) to new Hyper-V 2019 (new site)
  2. Add some VHDX to the moved VMs at Hyper-V 2019, and do some upgrade with the custom applications inside VMs
  3. Will keep Hyper-V 2012 R2 (old site) (that host other Apps/VMs) as a disaster recovery platform, so they will keep exporting VMs from Hyper-V 2019 (new site), and import it at Hyper-V 2012 R2 (old site)

Questions are:

  • Is it supported to move (Export/Import) VMs from Hyper-V 2019 to Hyper-V 2012 R2?
  • What  we need to consider when creating/attaching new Virtual Disks at Hyper-V 2019 (new site) to VMs that maybe later imported at Hyper-V 2012 (old site) in case of disaster?
  • Any other points that need to be considered in this scenario?

To share more thought related to this scenario:

  • We have to keep all VMs at Hyper-V 2019 (new site) as G1 including any new VM this to avoid any issue when move it back to Hyper-V 2012 R2 (old site).

Any other points related to disk type, whatever configuration, supportability….? knowing that this will be temp scenario till they build Hyper-V 2019 at old site.

Maged

    Hyper-V lists non-existent VM named "Th-VM" to DPM

    Hello everybody,

    after diagnosing why every DPM 2019 I know of offers a bogus "Th-VM" VM when we configure Hyper-V RCT backups, Mike Jacquet asked me from this thead https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/83718d47-9d4b-4579-a479-c1d96298b084/dpm-2019-insists-offering-nonexisting-vm-a-for-hyperv-host?forum=dpmhypervbackup in the DPM forum to post here. Mike found that it is Hyper-V which enlists a VM named "Th-VM". For details, please see the linked thread.

    What can we do about this?

    2019 cluster: live migration only works on Linux VMs, not Windows

    This is a fairly simple question, and I'm hoping the answer is fairly simple too.

    I have a straightforward 3-node failover cluster: the servers are running WS2019, and the 30+ VMs are running a mixture of Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Ubuntu.

    The Linux servers live-migrate flawlessly.

    The Windows servers will NOT live-migrate; they throw a 1155 error.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    [Known Issue] RemoteFX vGPU Disablement in July 14, 2020 Windows Update tracked by CVE-2020-1036

    $
    0
    0

    Symptom:

    Error after 2020 July's update when starting VM with RemoteFX via Hyper-V Manager:

    1. An error occurred while attempting to start the selected virtual machine(s). %computername% fails to start.
    2. Failed to Power on with Error "insufficient system resources to complete the requested service;,
    3. The virtual machine cannot be started because all the RemoteFX-capable GPUs are disabled in Hyper-V Manager. You must enable at least one GPI

     

    More information:

    RemoteFX vGPU feature was removed with the release of Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019. Reference "Features we removed in this release" for detail information:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started-19/removed-features-19#features-we-removed-in-this-release

     

    RemoteFX vGPU feature was planned for replacement starting with Windows Server, version 1803. Reference below link for detail information:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/windows-server-1803-removed-features

     

    Due to security vulnerabilities identified by a security researcher, RemoteFX vGPU feature is being disabled for all users by the 2020 July's update and all superseding Windows Updates before. Affected operating system:

    Windows 7.0 SP1

    Windows Server 2012 

    Windows 8.1 & Windows Server 2012 R2

    Windows 10 RTM

    Windows 10 1607 & Windows Server 2016

    Windows 10 1703

    Windows 10 1709

    Windows 10 1803

     

    Workaround:

    1. Consider using an alternative vGPU technology.Secure GPU virtualization is available through Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) in Windows Server LTSC releases (Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019) and Windows Server SAC releases (Windows Server, version 1803 and later versions).
    2. Manually re-enableRemoteFX vGPU feature. However, it is not recommended sue to security consideration. And this feature will eventually be completely deleted.

     

    Reference "Update to disable and remove the RemoteFX vGPU component in Windows" for detail information:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4570006/update-to-disable-and-remove-the-remotefx-vgpu-component

    When converted vhd is attached, hyper-v vm does not boot. Even not from ISO

    $
    0
    0

    I have been rolling out Hyper-V hosts and creating Hyper-V VM's for quite a while now. Everything fine, until this case. I need some greater minds to shed some light on this. 

    I need to convert a running Windows 2008 R2 server with 8 GB RAM into a Hyper-V VM. We need this machine so we can run a specific old software (from time to time), and the physical machine is acting up. My Hyper-V host runs Windows 2019 Hyper-V host, has enough physical RAM (16 GB). It has been used to create and run all kinds of VM's (Windows 2008 server --> Windows 2019 server), Windows 10 etc.. Never failed. RAID 10 on harddisks and enough room.

    I have tried a few ways to create the VHD file for this runing server. Straight from the server with disk2vhd, and from system recovery backups created by Veritas Back-up Exec System Recovery (tried a few version of the software). My VHD's contain all the files I see on the real server, and the real server has only one partition. No hidden partition (checked with diskpart). 

    The VM I create has the same amount of RAM as the real one, Generation 1. When I attach an iso to it, with the Windows 2008 R2 boot disk, it boots just as expected. One I attach the VHD to it, it never boots. Black screen, blinking cursor (if the VHD is the first boot drive), sentence showing I need to push any key to start booting from DVD if the DVD is the first boot device. But the VM does not boot. Once I disconnect the VHD, the same VM boots fine. 

    Tried creating a blank VHD for the same VM: VM boots fine. 

    I have never has this experience with Hyper-V and none of my Google searches bring this scenario up. Any ideas? 

    Next up I will try a competitive system to boot the VHD.

    Kind regards,

    Wouter Pinkhof

    Hyper-V disk is not present by using int 13h

    I have written my own OS to detect how many drives present on my computer. But I had some difficulties with hyper-v. I found that I added the DVD disk in hyper-v. However, when I was brutal forcefully probing how many disks exist. It turns out that the DVD disk is not present. 

    The same problem is with ReactOS. When ReactOS tries to fetch first several bits from the CD disk by using ATA, it runs into the issue of IO1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.

    Here is my configuration:

    IDE 0: CD myos.iso, Drive testvm.vhd

    Here is the number of devices that I have on this virtual machine:

    disk number: 0x0 (floppy disk 1)

    disk number: 0x1 (floppy disk 2)

    disk number: 0x80 (hard drive)

    If it's correctly running, it should show another drive with number 0xE0. I have tested this on Qemu, it turns out to be correct. However, I do not know why it does not work on hyper-V. I will test VirtualBox next. My guess would be that hyper-v has some protection mechanism to prevent a CD being written. But it does not exempt a disk being not present in the system.

    Windows 2019 Hyper-V Host Static or Dynamic ram allocation

    $

    We are setting up a Windows 2019 Hyper-V VM running on a Physical Windows 2019 Server with 64GB of Ram. The Physical server will be running a few lightweight apps and also the Hyper V roles. I have been reading up on Dynamic V's Static memory allocation for the Hyper-V server and cannot decide which option is better. As I see it I have 2 ways I could go -

    1. Allot 32GB of static ram to the Windows 2019 Hyper-V VM

    2. Enable Dymanic Ram Set 8GB of Ram as a minimum Value, Set the Max Ram to 32GB with a 20% Memory buffer

    We are planning to use the Hyper V for lightweight Remote desktop use.

    What I am wondering is, does having Dynamic Memory instead of static cause speed issues for the VM when the amount of RAM required has to be increased or is this so fast that it is not noticeable.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated

    On surface pro 7 I need HyperV to run a win10 32 bits on the basic win 10 64 bits pro

    I uploaded an official win 10 32 bits

    I created an Hyper V using this .iso


    I started the machine as requested.

    It stops on:

    "start PXE over IPV4

    VM boot summary

    1. SCSI DVD did not load an OS

    2. SCSI disk idem

    *3. Network adapter (00155D00AA03)

    No operating system was loaded.

    Your VM may be configured incorrectly"

    The VM does not see the .iso or the .iso has not the right format.

    Would you know what should be changed?

    Thanks a lot

    Hello Team,

    We want to explore in Hyper-V replication on Advanced level. Following are the question::

    1) As we have option of selecting  recovery point in Azure VM replication can do we same on-premise Hyper-V replication

    2) Can we monitor Hyper-V replication at granular level where we can see our which last replication point was successful.

    3) Even after VM failover can we able see which are best replication point we have.

    Would like to know is it possible on on-premise Hyper-V replication. If Yes would like to have steps or free tools to achieve it.

    Deleting Recovery Snapshots Failed due to Invalid State

    Hello,

    I have a 4 node Hyper-V 2019 cluster running a decent number of VMs.

    When trying to remove some snapshots that Hyper-V left behind from a backup I get the following error:

      Deleting 'SNAPSHOTNAME - (M/D/YYYY - 8:18:20 PM)' failed.
    The operation cannot be performed while the object is in its current state.    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Remove-VMSnapshot], VirtualizationException    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidState,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveVMSnapshot    + PSComputerName        : HOST

    Searching online the only help I found was to create a new snapshot and then export the VM from that.  Then delete the original and import the exported copy.  I would prefer to avoid that if possible as some of these VMs are quite large.  They are still operational just cannot clean up these specific snapshots.  I was able to remove a bunch of standard non-recovery snapshots without any issues.

    OK, I am sorry if this may seem "childish", but I have to let know my little frustration about the Hyper-V manager and the VM windows that keep changing the state of my Numlock!!!!!!

    I want it ON, but everytime I open a VM, it keeps switching it to OFF, and for the love of me, I can't find a way to make it stop that...

    There, I feel better, and who knows, maybe this little thing may get corrected in the final version ;)

    While trying to install the update KB4057903 - Hyper-V integration components, the server freezes after restart on the screen "Getting Windows Ready" for about 15minutes. After that the server gets almost unresponsive.

    Managed to restart the vm via safe mode and stopped the update, but how can i install the update? What causes the problem? I had no problem with the other updates of January 2018. Error Details: 800F9023. In HYPER-V VM enviroment.

    It is also the exchange server and i have stopped all Microsoft Exchange Services.


    Boot VM safe mode

    Hi,

    We're running 2016 (2 hosts in a cluster) on the hosts with some 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 guests. One of the 2012 R2 guests gets stuck on 'Please wait...' during boot up and never comes up.

    I need to boot this VM in to safe mode but no matter what I try I never get the boot options menu appear. Turning off the machine while running does not even force the boot menu, which it does in 2008 R2.

    How do you perform this simplest of tasks in Hyper-V on 2012 R2 guests?

    Thanks

    Ok, I've wasted an entire day searching for an answer for this.  I found a few people with the same issue but no answers.

    I built a Win10 1607 Gen2 VM.  I mounted an ISO to capture windows for SCCM.   I cant change my boot settings in Firmware because they are missing.

    I went to the CLI in PS and tried Set-VMFirmware -VMName 1607 -BootOrder "DVDDrive","HardDiskDrive"

    Set-VMFirmware : Cannot bind parameter 'BootOrder'. Cannot convert the "DVDDrive" value of type "System.String" to

    Has something change in the was this is done?   I have 5 Hypervisors all running the same build and none of the gen 2 machines have this option.  The Gen1 VM's are fine.
