Hi team,

Is it possible to configure Hyper V VM replication even if the Hosts are in different hosts ?

I want to configure VM replication from hosts to Hosts over WAN which is added in different domain. Also want to know that will it possible if I configure child domain.

Note : Users cannot access parent domain or hosts which is part of parent domain.

Kindly help me...

I am building a proof of concept for virtualizing our student lab space. I am using Hyper-V with remote desktop services and Dell Wyse 5010s running WTOS 8.2. So far everything has worked out perfectly, with the exception of USB redirection. I simply cannot seem to make it work. I am also having little luck finding any helpful resources. Would someone be willing to give me a step by step process for making this work? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi folks,

I have managed to get Hyper-V up and running, and installed an operating system.

My question is how do I get drivers into the virtual machine for sound etc.

Any help is much appreciated.

2012 R2 Hyper V Failover Cluster Teaming Question

$
0
0

Hi All,

I am currently in the process of building a new hyper v cluster so i can migrate from 2008R2 to 2012R2. On my 2008R2 cluster we have 1 single nic for live migration and 1 nic for the privacy cluster communication, i know i can now team the live migration, i would like to also team the privacy cluster nic so it has hardware redundancy across 2 nics. Would this have any negative impact on the cluster communication?

Below is My NIC config on the host server: 

We have 16 NIC ports 4 of which are Broadcom BCM57810 Netextreme II 10 Gig E and 12 Broadcom Netextreme Gigabit Ethernet.

I plan to use them as below:

2 x Gigabit Broadcom for Management connection to the host server (Teamed)

4 x Gigabit Broadcom for VM traffic (Teamed)


2 x Gigabit Broadcom for Live Migration (Teamed)

2 x Gigabit Broadcom for Privacy Cluster Comms (Teamed if Possible)

2 x 10 Gig Broadcom for isci traffic, 1 of each going to seperate isci switch for redundancy

Thanks in advance

Hyper-V 2012 Integration Service issue

$

Hi Everyone

I have Hyper-V environment consist of 15 windows 2012 Datacenter.

I have issues in the environment, so I run the Cluster Validation test, I get errors in Validate Hyper-V Integration Services Version.

Error:

The following virtual machines are running integration services that does not match the host computer (and a list of VM’s).

Then I run a PowerShell command

 (Get-ClusterGroup | Get-VM | Format-Table Name, IntegrationServicesVersion)

The result was different version of integration services:

TESTdc2                                                             6.3.9600.16384                                                           

TETfnet                                                              6.2.9200.21919                                                           

TESTNAE2                                                          6.2.9200.16433                                                           

TEST-CE1                                                             6.2.9200.16433                                                            

TEST-CE2                                                             6.2.9200.16433                                                           

VAOX                                                                  6.1.7601.17514        

Then I checked all 15 host, found that they have the same integration service version 6.2.9200.17164, all hosts updated.

Now what I have to do, to fix this error.

Hyper-V does not use ODX (Offloaded Data Transfer) for Online Storage Migration.

Hi guys,

Please help me, I am stuck.

My Hyper-V on Windows 2012 R2 not using the ODX when Live Migrate Storage (I see copy speed 0.3 Gb pes Second). When machine is offline then ODX worksFINE (I see copy speed 0.6-0.9 Gb pes Second)!

 

First, My Lab Configuration:

Hyper-V installed on Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter (all public updates are installed at 27.02.2016)

This Machine connected to HP 3Par 8200 Storage by Fiber Channel HBA

I have 2 LUN attached to 2 CSV on this Machine

I’ve checked this with VM Gen2 and Gen1 by using SCSI controller for VHDX.

 

I checked that ODX works perfect by using this method (described on this sitehttps://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/jj200627(v=ws.11).aspx ):

  1. Switch OFF the ODX Function

Set-ItemProperty hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\control\filesystem -Name "FilterSupportedFeaturesMode" -Value 1

Copy file from CSV1 to CSV2 and vise-versa

Check speed and Hight disk byte per sec

0.2-0.3 Gb per Sec.

  1. Switch ON the ODX Function

Set-ItemProperty hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\control\filesystem -Name "FilterSupportedFeaturesMode" -Value 0

  1. Copy file from CSV1 to CSV2 and vise-versa

Check speed and Low disk byte per sec

0.6-1 Gb per Sec.

As I understand, by reading this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831375(v=ws.11).aspx , everything I need for Hyper-V requirements is using SCSI virtual controller to connect my VHD or VHDX files to VM.

Also I’ve checked this by using VMM 2012 R2 but same result. Also I`ve added my Storage to VMM by using SMI-S provider.

PS All help will be appreciated, but I am hurry up.

 

 

 




2012 host, 2012R2 guest: How to upgrade Integration Components?

$

0

WS2012 HV host, WS2012R2 guest. Have installed KB3161609 v2, including its new VMGUEST.ISO.

I can install the new ICs on the 2012 guests, but on 2012R2, I get "This computer is already running the current version of integration services  (version 6.3.9600.16384)."

Am I supposed to upgrade the IC on 2012R2 guests of a 2012 host? If so, how?

TIA

2012R2 Hyper-v Host and 2012R2 guest. No NIC, unable to load drivers

I have search around but cant seem to find a working answer.  I have a 2012R2 I am spinning up for testing.  The original server is a dell320 with Shadowprotect.  I have spun up 20 servers with the same config and never had this issue.  I have removed the Hyper-v switch and added legacy NIC card but no matter what I get code31 and the NIC will not come online. I get the yellow triangle. If I update the drivers is says I have the latest drivers but still will not load.   Any thoughts or suggestions?

AVHD Merge with fixed disk - any additional space required?

$
0
0

I have a host that has a VM with a single snapshot that has been running for a few months and the disk is running out of space. The largest avhd is over 500GB, but would be merged into a fixed VHD. I assume in this case no additional space is required to merge it in, as the fixed disk won't grow, is that correct?

That fixed disk is the second VHD for this VM, the first VHD is a dynamic disk, but I'm trying to determine how much space I realistically need for it to merge. Inside the VM the C: (first VHD) has a total capacity of 400GB, with about 50GB free, and the VHD for this is 400GB, with a 280GB AVHD. My guess is most of the 280GB are changes and not new data, as that would grow the VHD to around 680GB, and the C: inside the VM as I said is showing 400GB.

I ask for clarification on this as I can free up around 240GB on this drive, and if the merge for the fixed disk won't require any additional space, then I would expect the dynamic disk merge to possibly complete successfully with the remaining 240GB I'd have.

Does all of that sound reasonable? I also have a new host that I could copy/merge/etc. all of this on. Just trying to find the shortest path to a reliable solution.

Hyper-V 2012 Replica server query

We have server A and B configured as replica servers. We have enabled replication for one of the VM (VM1) with recovery point option “only the latest point for recovery

Please clarify the below points.

  • How may recovery points will get created? I guess there will be only one recovery point that stays always with the VM, correct me if I am wrong.
  • How frequently it will get created/updated and on what changes to the VM creates the snapshot?
  • When there is any low disk space can we delete this snapshot and merge it?

Hello all,

I'm having a specific issue where I shut down my virtual machine (from within its OS) in a Hyper-V / Fail Over Cluster environment and then regardless of how long I wait When I power on my machine it shows the Boot Manager Screen. 

What's going on ? 

My event logs say that the success was true for <g class="gr_ gr_401 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="401" id="401">shutdown</g>. 

I would appreciate any insight. None of the other <g class="gr_ gr_442 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="442" id="442">vm's</g> are doing it. 

Thank You All,

XML Error when attempting to enable replication in Hyper-V Manager on Server 2012

$

I inherited a network and the Hyper-V Replication server seemed to have stopped working correctly a month before I arrived, probably due to a lack of hard drive space. I've been resolving this over the last week, with half the machines on the existing server and half on another one.

Having removed replication and deleted the VHDs on the existing replica server, for some of the machines, enabling replication onto it has been no problem at all. However, for a few of them, i've been recieving the following message (which is also present in event viewer under Windows Logs/Applications and Services/Microsoft/Hyper-V-VMMS as error 32000).

Enabling Replication Failed

Hyper-V failed to enable replication.

Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine "Servername": The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag. (0xC00CEE3B). (Virtual machine ID C70CD786-B8FA-445D-BD14-4115E01C80A1)

Which appears to be some form of XML error? Have tried removing undo logs for said servers too but it makes no difference. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

Hyper-V Manager freezes on opening

$

My workstation is running Windows 10, fully patched and updated and a relatively recent install. On our domain we have several Hyper-V servers all running Windows Server 2012 Enterprise. On my workstation Hyper-V manager does not work. Upon starting, it starts attempting to display connected servers but this phase is extremely slow. After awhile, the program becomes totally non-responsive and I have to exit using Task Manager. I've removed and reinstalled the Hyper-V management tools feature; I've reinstalled the RSAT tools; I've disconnected all servers and started reconnecting; I've turned off the firewall and shut down our AV program. I've monitored Event Viewer but no messages appear when I attempt to connect. I've compared this machine to another Windows 10 machine and looked at settings and other configuration settings and they appear to be identical. The second machine's Hyper-V manager program starts right up and displays all VMs on all 5 of our Hyper-V servers within a few seconds. What could be wrong, and how do I troubleshoot this?

VNC on a Hyper-V VM

$
0
0

Hello,

I want to know if is it possibile to access on a VM running by Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 R2 using VNC client instead of RDP client.

The reason is because on this VM client (Windows 7 Prof. or higher, it's same) we need to install Check Point VPN-1 SecureClient to connect remotely on other PC client: the problem is that when we are connected, the secure profile, disconnect all active VM network connection. Now we use this VM client on VMWare server and want to migrate (or recreate, it's same) to Hyper-V Manager on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Thanks in advance,

Fabio
