Hi All,
here is a very strange issue.
I had to recover a failing 2 nodes HyperV 2008 R2 cluster. I do not know the history of this environment.
The issue is that several VMs do not move to node 2 and the customer ended up adding VMs directly in node 2 without using CSV.
I dowscovered an SCVMM deployed on an additionnal hardware. The agent was deployed on node 1 but not on node 2. However SCVMM was complaining about node 2 not responding. Has it been deployed once ? I could not find any trace of SCVMM in the registry and on the disk. I finally remove it from node 1 as we will move soon to a new 2012 cluster in a new domain.
I tried to export VMs installed locally to the CSV and then Import them again to put them back on the cluster here is what Happens:
- if I export the VM from Node 2 and import it I can live migrate it ok between node
- If I export it from Node 1 and import it, the live migration start then reaching almost 98 % it fails. On node 1 it state that it has been cancelled externally ! On node 2 it says taht the VM config is corrupted
- I tried exporting from node 1 to import on node 2 it states that the VM configf is corrupted
- I tried creating new VM on node 1 and one new on node 2 and succeeded in importing each of the newly created VM on the other Node
I noticed the the Config file shows different IDs but do not know if it is normal or not
I attached 2 config file DC203 move ok between nodes whereas DC201 does not !
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
