Hi,
We have a 2012 R2 two node Guest Cluster using a shared VHDX located on a CSV to provide general file server services and wanted to know if it's possible/supported to use the Hyper-V Replica feature to replicate the above file server to another datacentre for DR purposes?
We have used the Hyper-Replica feature on a few other VMs that aren't clustered but weren't sure about the implications of using the same technology for a Guest Clustered role.
Cheers for now

I'm trying to install an operating system into my virtual machine
but i get the error "Mouse not captured in remote desktop session"
thus not allowing me to move my mouse or keyboard
can you please help me fix it please?
Hello,
We have a couple of sample VHD disks we would like to automate for VM's.
So we can create a VM with a sample disk with a script.
Creating and attaching the sample disk is not a problem.
But how can we script the settings like IP addresses and administrator passwords for example.
We now have to manualy log in to this new server and set them.
I'm sure there must be a way to achieve this, can someone point me in the right direction?
We are running Hyper-V in a Windows 2012R2 failover cluster.
I currently have two HP ProLiant DL380G7 servers running MS Server 2008 R2 in Core mode, with Hyper-V (Core 1 & 2).
Core 2 currently has two VM's running on it, both setup with a virtual network attached to a physical NIC on the Core itself. I recently upgraded the core's memory to allow for resource allocation to a new VM. I have since created and installed MS Server Enterprise 2008 R2 SP1 onto this. When creating a new virtual network for this VM I attached it to what I thought was a spare/unused physical NIC, but didn't tick the "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" option.
I am now in the horrible situation whereby all physical NIC's are being used by the virtual network, thus preventing me the ability to remote manage the physical core OS itself! Thankfully the Microsoft Virtual Network Switch protocol is enabled on it meaning that it still allows the virtual machines on this Hyper-V host to communicate on the network.
I've downloaded and imported the following PowerShell module on Core 2: http://pshyperv.codeplex.com/releases/view/38769#ReviewsAnchor to try and manipluate the VM NICs. The core itself via SCONFIG is stating that "No active network adapters can be found". I'm having some real trouble being able to re-attach a NIC to the core to be able to re-configure its IP address etc. and then manage it again.
I've spoken to numerous people who have experienced and used this module but I'm not getting anywhere. Myself and a contact have been troubleshooting this for the last two days and its really starting to grind my gears! Any help would be much appreciated as I'm in dire need of some expert advice. Thanks in advance.
Hello
i need to know whether any mac address translation is performed on packets coming from virtual machines ccnnected to the external network in hyper-v, when these packets are going out from hyper-v host to real physical Local area network ?
when we have two virtual machines which are connected to a hyper-v host, what do we see in the cam table of our cisco switfh inside network? The mac address of vm or host ?
Just over a week ago I set up Hyper-V on Windows 10 (build 14257) on a Surface Pro 3, set up a new external virtual network and everything worked well until some updates were applied today and the external network I created had changed itself from being set to Internal instead of External and VMs displayed network connection disconnected.
I have tried to fix this from Hyper-V Virtual Switch Manager but every change I try results in an error message when it is being applied saying:
Ethernet port '{A62DC670-A998-4435-8984-DC21D5996290}' bind failed: Data supplied is of wrong type. (0x8007065D).I did find I could remove the existing virtual switch but now I have no virtual switches and am unable to create any due to the error above.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have looked online at similar problems but in each case the error is different.
Thanks

Hi there.
Hyperv server with SATA disks in RAID1. Hyperv has also attached USB 3.0 external disk.
Hyperv has 5 virtual machines. One of those virtual machine has EXCHANGE2013 on it.
The attached USB 3.0 external disk on hyperv is visible on EXCHANGE2013 virtual machine as another disk.
We use Windows Server Backup on that virtual machine EXCHANGE2013 which makes backup to USB 3.0 external disk.
Durring the process of backup on EXCHANGE2013 all the other Virtual machines on HYPERV became extremly slow.
Is there a way to configure and fix this?
With best regards

Dear Support,
I want to know how much the ram support for Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise or Datacenter Edition. I want to allocate the ram 128 GB in Hyper -V for the server. Can i do this or not. Please help me in this regard.

Hi, we own 2 copies of "Windows Server 2008 r2 standard" specifically for two physical servers.
We would like to migrate to one new server only with higher spec, we don't expect it to have more than 2 CPU's.
This is in order to virtualize our environment.
Its clear that each copy allows one virtual machine licence. How could we licence one physical machine and 3 virtual machines?
Can we do that by applying one licence key to the host and VM1, and then the other licence key to VM2 and VM3 (wishful thinking)?
Or can we only apply the 2nd license to VM2 and we have to buy another copy for VM3? Is this allowed?
Or will we have to do something else?
Many Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am looking for some pointers on Hyper-v failover cluster that will run guest VMs (VM will be print servers) .
I am planning to go with below hardware requirements for Hyper-V failover cluster nodes. 3 guest VM s will cater printers services running on Hyper-V.
CPU: | 16 Cores |
MEMORY: | 128 GB RAM |
Volumes: | C : 300 GB for OS |
| Storage for 3 VM's print spooler |
NIC Cards: | 3 (VM, Heartbeat and iscsi) |
Regards
I have assign pass through disk to guest OS (2012) but when starting guest VM, disk is not visible under disk mgmt.
It is visible when assign it through IDE controller. Integration service is also up to date.
Any idea, why?
We are running windows 2012 r2 as Hyper-v host. After installing XM as VM, we can't cerate virtual switch network with this error: failed to connect Ethernet switch port 80070002. Please help.

I have a vm (linux centos) running on hyper-v (Version: 6.3.9600.16384) on windows server 2012 R2. It is running on a PC with a core-i5-3750.
I am trying to utilize maximum from physical cpu in my linux vm. I have a process (4 parallel) in the linux utilizing all 4 cores to 100%:
I have configured the vm to reserve 80% of the cpu (from all 4 cores) and the limit is 100%, however, the cpu usage in task manager in windows server is pretty minimal:
My question is: Is what I see in the task manager on win server the actual physical usage of the cpu or the reserved cpu by vm is disregarded by the task manager when hyper-v reserves it for the vm. If not, then what can I do to force the hyper-v to give maximum possible processing power to my vm.
Thanks

Hi,
Have 2 Virtual Server 2012 R2 domain controllers and now I want to add File and Storage Services on one of the VM's.
Should I create a volume from the same disk (already setup as RAID 1 and using it's remaining free space) that the Windows Server VM is installed on or is there a best practice approach to add storage to a VM for file sharing purposes ?
Does Storage Spaces provide any possibility for creating a volume on the VM used for File Sharing if I install additional SATA drives?
My end goal is to have files shared that are protected (RAID) and if possible highly available so if one VM is down the other takes over.
Thanks
