We are a vmware shop evaluating Hyper-V 2012 for the first time. I've done quite a few searches on this error, but have not been able to find a solution for this issue we are experiencing. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
We are running Hyper-V 2012 SP1 on two physical hosts with a separate machine running SCVMM and another running AD and DNS
When I use Hyper-V manager to enable replication for one of the vm sessions, I am able to get to the last part of the process, but when I click finish I am getting the following error:
Hyper-V failed to enable replication Failed to perform the operation, the virtual machine is not in a valid state to perform the operation. Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'vmtest1'; Operation Aborted (0x80004004)
The firewalls are disabled via GPOs,
Same error with and without snapshots on the VM
There is no media attached to the vm (CD/DVD set to none)
It does not matter if the vm is running or shut down
SPN's all check out
Using Kerberos on Port 80
Port 80 responds via telnet
The folder structure get's created on the destination (Hyper-V replica folder)
Using local disk
No NIC teaming setup
If you need any additional information just let me know. The replication piece is a critical feature for us to move forward with implementing Hyper-V
