Hi Everyone
I am experiencing an error when trying to migrate a virtual machine from one cluster to another.
I have two Hyper V Clusters, OTJHBHVC01 and OTJHBHVC02, the nodes I am using are OTJHBHPV01 and OTJHBHPV05 respectively.
If I remove a virtual machine from the cluster, and attempt to migrate it to a node in the other cluster I am getting the following error:
Event ID 21024 Source: Hyper-V-VMMS
The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to establish a connection for a Virtual Machine migration because the destination host rejected the request: Element not found. (0x80070490).
The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to establish a connection for a Virtual Machine migration with host 'OTJHBHPV05': Element not found. (0x80070490).
Virtual machine migration operation for 'OTJHBNMS01' failed at migration source 'OTJHBHPV01'. (Virtual machine ID A1226C5A-C1F3-44EC-A5F1-F06BBE671320)
As mentioned, I remove the Virtual Machine from the cluster, In the Hyper-V MMC I then right click, select "Move" - Move the Virtual Machine, I select the destination Hyper-V host (node) not the cluster name. Select "Move the virtual machine's data to a single location" Choose a location on one of the Clustered Shared Volumes that has enough space. And proceed with the move. The migration runs till about 70% of the way of the progress bar until I receive the error.
I cant seem to upload screenshots yet, even though I have verified my Microsoft Account.
I have searched, but have been unable to find any similar posts. I have come across one post where System Center Virtual Machine Manager was involved, but we are not using SCVMM. I have tried the steps suggested in the post but they have not worked for me.
I have tried restarting the Virtual Machine Management Service, as well as restarting both Hyper V hosts, but still receive the error.
I have tried this in both directions, from any of the nodes in my cluster and still receive this error. Live Migrations within the clusters work perfectly.
All servers are members of the same domain. The user logged in performing the action is a Domain Administrator.
Both Hyper V Servers have been enabled to accept live migrations using Credential Security Support Provider, not Kerberos (We are not using remote tools)
I have also tried this on multiple Virtual Machines, all with the same result.
I am running Windows Server 2012, Datacenter edition.
Failover Cluster Validation tests report no errors or serious warnings.
We were able to do Shared nothing migrations about 2 months ago, nothing has been changed on the Cluster with exception of Windows updates and the installation of the following KB updates: KB2813630 and KB2823643. These two updates were installed to try and resolve an issue we were experiencing with iSCSI which we since resolved by switching to Fibre Channel Controllers on our storage device.
Would appreciate any help or suggestions!
Thanks
