I haven't seen any mention of this in any of the forums. I'm attempting to import a virtual machine to a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V system. Normally this is fairly straight-forward. However, the imported virtual machine will not start. I'm getting the following error message:

[Window Title]
Hyper-V Manager

[Main Instruction]
An error occurred while attempting to start the selected virtual machine(s).

[Content]
'Unnamed VM' could not initialize.

An attempt to read or update virtual machine configuration failed.

[Expanded Information]
'Unnamed VM' could not initialize. (Virtual machine ID )

'Unnamed VM' could not read or update virtual machine configuration: The security ID structure is invalid. (0x80070539). (Virtual machine ID 223C7883-08C2-43ED-B5D1-7ABFC0940F64)

I'm not familiar with what is going on here. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hyper-V 2012 Core - Replication failing during setup

January 13, 2014, 2:06 pm

So I recently setup a new Hyper-V 2012 Core server and migrated 3 VMs - everything is working properly.  I then repurposed my old server and set it up as a Hyper-V 2012 Core server for replication purposes of my 3 VMs.  Everything was working properly when I had the servers on the same 192.168.0.x subnet.  I then paused replication and moved my server out of state to a remote office connected with a site-to-site VPN connection on a 192.168.3.x subnet.  I have changed DNS and can ping, nslookup, etc from/to both servers.  When I tried to unpause replication it failed. 

This was a few weeks ago, so since then I have removed replication and my VMs from my remote server.  When I try to re-establish replication for any of the 3 VMs, it errors out saying it can't connect to the server on port 80.  Though I can telnet from my primary server to port 80 on my remote server?

What am I missing or what should I look for as I'd like to get replication working again soon.

Running Windows Server 2012 R2 Virtual MAchine on Host Server running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter

Our host server runs Windows Server 2012 Datacenter, which allows for unlimited licensing on Hyper-V virtual machines. We don't have any budget currently to upgrade this to Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.

Most of the Hyper-V virtual servers run Windows Server 2008 Standard, 2008 R2 Standard , 2012 Standard etc.

Can we create a virtual machine and install Windows 2012 R2 Standard server on this host server?

Thanks.

Hyper-V Server 2012, CAU, Unable to drain roles

Hi,

I have a 2 node failover cluster running Hyper-V Server 2012.  Draining one of the nodes for CAU fails without any obvious errors logged.  All of the VMs live migrate successfully, after three re-tries node drain fails, the node leaves maintenance mode, and VMs live migrate back to their original locations.  I've reviewed all the event logs on each server and I'm stumped.

All of the networks and disks are in an UP status.  CSVs are not redirected and they are all owned by the host having difficulty draining roles.

It seems the best thing to do is to run the cluster validation tests, specifically the storage tests.  I won't have a maintenance window to bring everything down for quite a while however and some of the storage tests are known to be disruptive.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thank you

Hi there,

I am trying to team NIC's in my new Hyper-V 2012 R2 server and I would like to simply confirm the order of doing things....

Should i first Install Hyper-V role and than create a network team or rather do the teaming first and than install Hyper-V role?

Thanks for clarification...

GPU Pass-through in the Works for Hyper-V? GRID Tech wanted!

A plea or question - call it what you will. PLEASE, GPU Pass-through for Hyper-V! Is it in the works for future versions of Hyper-V? Has there been any more collaboration with NVIDIA on GRID tech? It seem like Citrix and VMWARE are stealing all of NVIDIA's attention.

RemoteFX is an improvement over no VGPU, but needs the GPU pass-through. After implementing RDS 2012R2 with VMM 2012 R2 for Iowa State University, I am having to begin development on XenServer for GPU Pass-through / GRID enabled virtual desktops and miss VMM already. I'd even settle for a new VMM plugin for XenServer since development seems to have ended.

Thanks,

Damien

vm failed to come online

I have configured fail over cluster in windows server 2012 R2 and configured hyper-v . I have added 4 virtual machines and attached san storage. Now it is working fine on one of the node but as soon as I try to move any vm to the other host I failed.

I am getting this error.

Move of cluster role 'vm' for drain could not be completed.  The operation failed with error code 0x80048016.

Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine 'vm' of type 'Virtual Machine' in clustered role 'vm' failed. The error code was '0x80004005' ('Unspecified error').

Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it.  Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.

The Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor service throws this error when I try and start it:
"Windows could not start the Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor service on Local Computer.

Error 1314: A Required privilege is not held by the client."

This is a 2008 R2 VM (integration services 6.3.9600.16384) running on a Server 2012 R2. This began happening after I upgraded to the latest integration components when I moved this VM to a 2012 R2 host.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

So I just configured and set up a new physical server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 and is joined to a domain.  When I try connecting to the server on Hyper-V Manager from another server I receive the error above.  I am able to connect to other servers from Hyper-V Manager on that new server and I'm also able to remote desktop connect to the new server.  I've seen a plethora of different approaches to resolve this issue but maybe I can pinpoint my exact issue more precisely over this thread.  Any assistance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Backup practice for HyperV Host or Individual virtual Machines

January 14, 2014, 8:22 pm

Hello,

Current Strategy: We have 5 physical virtual host servers (windows server 2008 & 2008 R2) with 5-6 virtual instances/machines on each. Currently we are using Microsoft DPM 2007 to backup individual virtual machines and not backing up the host. DPM 2007 isn't doing the job for us anymore due to Tape drive compatibility issues and it's just old software with limited functionality.

Question: What is the best way to backup each virtual machine or host (do I need to?) AND easily restore machines or data?

Goal: In case we have a virtual host crash and we need to rebuild new box or use another host, I would like grab a backup and restore the entire virtual machine as it was night before onto another host including data and Machine settings (plug a& play). 

Also, in case we have a single virtual instance/machine corrupt or crash, I would like to use the full back and restore everything like it was (including all VM settings and data). 

I am open to all options including new software, hardware or 3rd party software. As long as solution is rock solid and reliable, i am good.

Thanks for you help!

SCVMM Hyper-V randomly failing VM's

Morning all! I've got a cluster running with 5 Hyper-V servers managed by SCVMM 2012 R2. I'm running Server 2012 (datacenter), version 6.2.9200 on the nodes. Every now and then, 8 VM's in the cluster just randomly fail. If I look at the cluster log I see a lot of these messages:

INFO [RCM [RES] SCVMM {servername} embedded failure notifciation, code=0 _isEmbeddedFailure=false _embeddedFailureAction=0

It logs 8 of these failure notifications every minute, for those 8 servers which randomly fail. At a certain moment, this is being logged (I've filtered out the other entries not containing the hostname)

[RCM] HandleMonitorReply: LOCKEDMODE for 'SCVMM {servername} Configuration', gen(0) result 0/0.
[RCM] HandleMonitorReply: LOCKEDMODE for 'SCVMM {servername}', gen(0) result 0/0.

[RCM] SCVMM {servername} Resources: Removed Flags 1 from StatusInformation. New StatusInformation 0
[RCM] [RES] SCVMM {servername} embedded failure notifciation, code=0 _isEmbeddedFailure=false _embeddedFailureAction=0

When I open the eventlog (Hyper-V-Config, Admin) I see these messages for the servers which randomly fail:

The Virtual Machines configuration 276DACA8-351C-4FA3-BE9A-8BA5E5746600 at 'C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2\{servername}' is no longer accessible: The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid. (0x800703EE).

In the Hyper-V-VMMS - admin event log, these messages are logged:

'{servername}' cannot access the data folder of the virtual machine. The worker process (Process ID 9556) may not be functional anymore. (Virtual machine ID 276DACA8-351C-4FA3-BE9A-8BA5E5746600)

It's not the first time this is happening and I need to find the root cause of this. The affected VM's don't have snapshots/checkpoints. I haven't found any usefull info on the net, can anyone help me finding the root cause of this? Thanks!

Fixed VHD with no free space

Hi,

I've converted a 38GB VHD to fixed, however the disk size is now 100GB with 5GB available free space?  This server will have additional software installed so I need further space in future.

The VHD disk is on a SAN.  What I want is the fixed size disk to have "disk space".  Am I missing something here with fixed size or have I done something incorrect with the process?

Thanks, Matt.

Hi All,

I must convert a Windows 7 machine from VMware to a Hyper-V Cluster. But the Problem is that we Need to Keep the old MAC Adress on this Client after conversion. How can I do this?

From my understanding means static IP in Hyper-V only that always the same MAC Adress will be assigned to the guest from the pool.

But ist very important for us to keep the old one ...

Hope someone has an idea here ...

Many thanks

Allow Domain Users RD access to Hyper V Manager located on a DC

Greetings MS IT gurus,

I am currently building a secondary DC running WS2012 Datacenter R2 with Hyper V installed. I am in the process of moving all my VM's over to the new server but I have run into a hitch. My users who use the VM's also need to access the Hyper V manager to take snapshots (Now known as Checkpoints for some reason) and make notes on each snapshot etc. But as it is located on a DC only Domain Admins have access to the server.

There is 2 ways I can envisage me getting round this:

1) they ask me to take snapshots and I enter the comments

or

2) give them domain administrator access to the server so they can access Hyper V manager.

Both are pretty much out of the question but there must be a simpler way of doing it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Application running slowly under Hyper-V (factor of 100 times slower)

January 15, 2014, 1:54 pm

I have an application running in a non virtual Windows Server 2008R2/SP1 environment.  It processes about 60,000 records from an indexed file (about 20MB in length) in about a second running in that environment.  I want to move the application to a Hyper-V virtual server also running Windows Server 2008R2/SP1.  When I do so, the application runs, but processing the same file takes almost 2 minutes.

The application is the only thing running in the virtual machine and the virtual machine is the only VM running on the physical box.  The VM is configured with a single processor, 2048M of fixed (not dynamic) memory and a fixed size disk of 255GB.  There is no network traffic so the single network connection is not used.  The physical machine is a quad core with 8GB of memory and two 1TB drives that are less than 1/4 used in each case.

Now for the weird part.  The application runs from the command line.  If I start it and do nothing else, it takes about 2 minutes to complete its process.  But, if I start the application, switch focus to another window on the virtual machine then switch back, the process completes immediately upon switching back to the command line window.

Any thoughts?
