LACP negotiation fails on teamed adapter when creating a vSwitch

$

Situation

2012r2 Server with Hyper-V Role enabled
Intel Pro/1000MT Server Adapter (2x 2 Ports)
Uplink to Netgear GS724t switch

Succesfully configured Team Adapter (windows) with LACP.

Problem:

When I create a vswitch, my team adapter goes down (LACP negotiation failed).

When I delete my vswitch the team adapter comes back online.

I noticed the MAC address of the  TeamAdapter is the same as the vnic, is this normal behavior? 
This MAC address is not present in my MAC address range.


Wifi not working after Enabling Hyper-V

Hi,

I have Windows 10 and I want to enable Hyper-V on my computer to do a virtualization.

I know that I need to see in the bios that I need to enable the Virtualization service, so I enabled.

But now when I am going to the "Turn windows features on or off" and Enabling the "Hyper-V Management Tools" with "Hyper-V Platform" together, the I can't find any wifi network around, and if I am enabling only "Hyper-V Management Tools", si the Wifi is working...

What can I do? :(

Hyper-v: Live Migration Network

We have a hyper-v cluster with 3 netwoks (1x Cluster and client (N1), 2x Cluster Only (N2,N3))

On Failover Cluster Manager we've configured N2 as network to use in Live Migration, but If I open settings on Hper-V Manager and I go to "Live Migrations" settings I can see N2 and N3 as networks to use for Live migrations, also N3 as first

What is the difference ??

Hyper-V - TPM - VM does not start anymore after update KB3206632

$

After hours of searching update KB320663 causes my windows 10 1607 Hyper-V to not start anymore.  The issue is the VM's were using TPM.  The error I was getting was "The virtual machine 'xxxyyy' can't start because the host's Isolated User Mode is off.".

The only thing I want to point out is my machine is a windows pro version that was upgraded to windows enterprise via product key.  I noted that after upgrading I do not see the windows feature as many posts show to enabled a feature for "Isolated User Mode".  Not sure if this would have corrected the issue or not.

Hello!

I'm using Windows 2016 DC for hyper-v. Hosts are joined to domain and clustered.

I don't use SCVMM. I would like manage permissions to VM's, host, etc with Authorization Manager but I'm not able to findProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\InitialStore.xml. Can I use Authorization Manager in my case ? Where can I find this config file ?

Thanks for advices!

I am using server 2012r2 DC with hyper-v for almost all of my virtualization and i use a mix of windows and linux based systems on Hyper-v, but it is a hassle to have to go through the lengthy install process when setting up ubuntu or centos on Hyper-V, with my kvm systems i can just spin up a vm using a cloud image and be on my way in a few seconds, is there a way to do this with Hyper-V?, if so could someone guide me to the documentation on how to do this?

VM settings failed to add device physical disk drive

Hello,

Server 2012 R2 using Hyper-V manager; have previously been able to add external USB hard drive to the host, make the external drive offline, then use the VM settings to add the external drive to a VM machine.

Just recently (last two weeks) I cannot add the external drive through the settings, get this error message:
'VM-ABC-EXCH16' failed to add device 'Physical Disk Drive'. (Virtual machine ID 37C70A3A-737E-478D-984F-32FA86349308)

In the event viewer that message appears as 14140.

Tested upon different VMs and also a different host with different VMs, also different external hard drives (and external drive works fine on local computer).  Nothing will attach.  As noted, this has worked in the past.  What can I do to resolve?

Thanks

Always having to reset the Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter

$
0
0
Windows Sever 2012 running Hyper-V with about 10 virtual machines running for remote access

Quad NIC system (but only using 1 NIC) - static IP and the virtual ethernet (for the hyper-v environment)

Client has Comcast Internet (Deluxe plan which is 50mbps down / 10mbps up)

I have anywhere from 17-22 users internally using the Internet for work.  I have 3-4 remote users connected via persistent VPN all day (doing RDP to their remote computer (they hyper-v system)).

On any given day, the Internet will drop it's connection anywhere from 10-60 seconds and come back to life.  I know this because I'm monitoring the connection every 5 seconds and I'll get alerts if it goes down.

This is causing issues for my remote users.  They will get disconnected and unable to reconnect.  Thus far, I only have 2 band-aid solutions I've been using:  Have the remote users restart their router and reconnect (this works about 80% of the time, but that's a hassle).  

My other "fix" is on my 2012 Server.  And I have to reset some of the NIC cards (disable/enable).

When I look at the Network Connections, I see 5 NIC cards:  NIC1, 2, 3, 4, and my vEthernet (new virtual switch).  

NIC1 is the main NIC with a static IP.  
NIC2 says enabled but used with the virtual environment.  
NIC3 and 4 (network cable unplugged and I don't use those NICs).  
Then I have the vEthernet (New Virtual Switch)

I basically go in and disable NIC2 and the vEthernet.  Then I re-enable NIC2 and then the vEthernet (in that order too).

Then my remote users can reconnect.

Why does it do that?  Can I use NIC3 or 4 as a fail-over possibly?  If so, how?  I've experimented with this (drop the connection for 10-20 seconds) and try to RDP into a virtual machine (which is unsuccessful).  once I disable/enable the NIC cards, everything works.  Why would a 10-60 second outage cause this?  And this happens almost daily.  Sometimes 2x's a day.

Comcast claims it is because of the Intenet speeds we have - we're maxed out (and the upload speed just can't handle 3-4 remote users and all that overhead with VPN) so they are telling me to upgrade their speeds to something around 100mbps to 150mbps down / 20 up.  That could solve the problem, but I'd like to find the root cause before upgrading the entire Internet for the client (unless the speed issue is the bottleneck root cause).

Any thoughts on this?  Thanks in advance for your replies.

How to Create a Windows 10 Template in Hyper-V

$

I apologize, but I am a total noob on this subject.  I have Hyper-V enabled on my Windows 10 Enterprise box.  I imported a Virtual PC that has the Base Image of Windows 10 that we use.  I am trying to sysprep so I can deploy onto other windows 10 laptops with a custom name.  Every time I run sysprep, the image stops working.  Google is not giving me the most solid results.  I am only on the job a few months, and still figuring out where everything is.  My predecessor left me zero documentation and I have never had the opportunity to do this in the past.  Need some guidance.  

Goal is to 

1.  Automate Enable Hyper-V (Can be done through powershell)

2. Copy over the sysprepped image and rename.  

I did find a USB stick with all of this done for Windows 7 and it runs pretty well from there.  I tried substituting the vhd files from Windows 7 to 10 but it keeps failing.  I think the answer file is incorrect so wanted to start from scratch. 

Any help appreciated!

How EXACTLY does Hyper-V Host Resource Protection in WS 2016 work?

$
0
0

Everytime I tell My students about this Feature, I can't explain them how this feature works -

How does the algorithm work? At which values? How can I prevent false positives?

This feature helps prevent a virtual machine from using more than its share of system resources by looking for excessive levels of activity. This can help prevent a virtual machine's excessive activity from degrading the performance of the host or other virtual machines. When monitoring detects a virtual machine with excessive activity, the virtual machine is given fewer resources. This monitoring and enforcement is off by default. Use Windows PowerShell to turn it on or off. To turn it on, run this command: 

Set-VMProcessor -EnableHostResourceProtection $true

Would like to convert differncing disk to fixed disk in Server 2016 Hyper-V

$

Server is 2016 Standard w/ Hyper-V role.

Using Dell Appasure (Now Quest Rapid Restore) backup/imaging software I had to convert a physical server which failed to a VM.  Essentially performing a physical to virtual conversion with "virtual standby" tools inside of Rapid Restore.

VM came online fine and all is running well, but I noticed the system disk and data disk of the VM are both dynamic with differencing disks being used.  The disk properties of the VM for system and data both point to separate differencing disks.

I would like to convert these disks to just fixed disks but am not sure how to proceed.  I've searched and found a few articles but still not clear on how to accomplish this and worried I may lose changes or data saved in the differencing disk in the process.

I also need to expand the data disk which I'm assuming I can do after converting to fixed.

Any help or pointers to resources is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Live, Quick and Storage Migration

Hello!

Can someone help me understand the differences between the three different forms of migration - from the standpoint of requirements?

I've been reading on TechNet;

  • https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759225.aspx 
  • https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff715313%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 
  • https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831656

and it appears that both Live and Quick migrations require Fail Over Clustering to be installed, whereas Storage Migration's only requirement is that the disk to migrate isn't a physical disk.

Is the above summation true? If not, what are the requirements for each flavor?
