Add Library server - standalone

Hi All,

I really need to add some shared folders full of ISO & VHDX files to my VMM environment however they resides on a server which is not a member of domain and cant be joined. Its the same server which is running the Hyper-V host. Im able to add it as a Hyper-V host (Add host from perimeter network wizard) to my VMM however Im unable to add it as a Library server.

I read that Library server can be only a server which is member of the same domain as VMM. Is there really no other way or workaround how to add these folders to VMM Library?

Thanks

Get VMM powershell from jobs

Hi All,

I like when VMM creates a service, a VM, or a complex operation.

We can see all these operations on the Jobs view, and we can almost see the first command like New-SCVirtualMachine

or something else.

Now, is there any way to get all the VMM powershell commands from a specific job. I'm sure the commands are stored somewhere since we can make a 'Restart Job' for example.

This will be nice since we can reuse these powershell commands to create great scripts.

Thanks

Can not login with domain\username

I have an issue with logging in with domain\username and password into SCVMM Console.  The only way I can login is with username and password.  This isn't normally a big problem but it is hampering my ability to deploy Windows Azure Pack since the powershell scripts are using domain\username. Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix this problem?  Thanks

The Background:

VMM environment was updated from 2012 R2 to Update Rollup 1, followed by Update Rollup 2. Bare-Metal deployments have been working successfully and no agent communication issues have occurred until now. The VMM server is on a separate instance from the SQL server. The report.txt file indicates that there is a problem communicating with the SQL server however VMM starts fine and the VMM service starts fine as well (normally not the case when there are SQL problems).

The Issue:

When the client deploys a new host it comes up with following error message after installing the VMM agent (Report attached):

"Error 20413 - VMM encountered a critical exception and created an exception report"

memory leak issues

Hello.
I've been working on a project for almost 6 months.I use powershell via c# in order to control vmm.
I've been having memory issues since the beginning.I don't know what is going on.(up to 2GB in a few minutes)
I have included a very basic forms application which reproduces the problem.
In fact what i'm doing is:

 
 for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++)
            {
                using (PowerShellInstance = PowerShell.Create())
                {
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                    //sb.Append("Import-Module virtualmachinemanager;");
                    sb.AppendFormat(@"$User = ""{0}"" ;", usernamev);
                    sb.AppendFormat(@"$PWord = ConvertTo-SecureString –String ""{0}"" –AsPlainText -Force;", passwordv);
                    sb.Append(@"$Credential = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –ArgumentList $User, $PWord;");
                    sb.AppendFormat(@"$vmmConnection=Get-SCVMMServer {0} -UserRoleName 'Administrator' -Credential $Credential;", serveripv);
                    sb.Append(@"$vmmConnection.Disconnect();");

                    PowerShellInstance.Commands.AddScript(sb.ToString());
                    var l = PowerShellInstance.Invoke();
                }
            }

Any ideas please?

Delegate custom static MAC address assignment

Good Morning,

Our networking environment is similar to the one referenced here (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/c016e1a2-e79d-4405-9e88-1df78c10b54d/assigning-mac-addresses-to-vdi-pool?forum=winRDc) where MAC addresses must be registered before an IP will be assigned.  In some instances during VM creation, we will assign a pre-registered MAC address that is not part of the SCVMM MAC pool.  Currently users must either be an Administrator or a Delegated Administrator to assign a custom MAC address.  I would like to reduce privileges for most of our users to Tenant Administrator.  Is there a way to allow Tenant Administrators to assign custom static MAC addresses?

Thank you,

Nathan

Virtual Machine Manager Does Not Show Updated Status of VMs

Why doesn't Virtual Machine Manager always show the current status of my VMs?  I have VMM open and am also looking at Hyper-V Manager on the host server itself.  I started one (Windows 7) VM 10 minutes ago from Hyper-V Manager.  Almost immediately Hyper-V Manager show the start attempt was successful and it now shows the VM as running.  However, VMM still shows it as stopped.  How can you use a tool like this to manage your VMs when it doesn't give you current information?

Firewall settings for SQL Server Analysis Services for VMM Integration

I am integrating SQL Server Analysis Services with VMM 2012 R2. I have a reporting server instance which has analysis services installed as well. The problem that I face is with the firewall settings for remote access into the analysis services instance. When I turn the firewall on, I am unable to connect with the instance, but when I am turn the firewall off, it connects perfectly and it gets configured.

So, I am interested in knowing the ports that I need to allow through the firewall at the analysis services instance server so that I can configure the integration.

So far, I have tried my luck with ports 0, 135, 80, 443, 1433, 2382, 2383 and 54321.

Thanks in advance.

Creating a seperate Lab environment on a Hyper-V production Cluster

So I am sure this is answered somewhere, but I can't figure out what would be best. Here is my scenario...

I have a 3 node production cluster, and I would like to build a separate lab environment for my software team to build sharepoint. I need a couple of DC's, etc. I have more than enough resources on the nodes, but I am completely confused on what I need to do regarding the networking piece of it. I would like it to be isolated from production, but still have access to the internet. Any help would greatly appreciated.

SCVMM 2012 R2 - Static MAC Address Pools

June 28, 2014, 11:27 pm

Had a question about static MAC address pools in SCVMM 2012 R2. We have two different SCVMM instances, and both were using the default MAC address pool. As we began spinning up VM's in each environment, we noticed duplicate MAC addresses were being allocated due to both VMM instances uses the default MAC address pool. To resolve this, we've defined a new MAC address pool for each SCVMM instance that do not overlap with one another. We have to delete the default MAC address pool from SCVMM in order to full start using the custom pools. My question - what about all the VM's we already have running with MAC addresses from the default pool? Will the VM's keep their current MAC address, even after we delete the default mac pool - or will the VM's grab a new MAC address from the custom MAC pool? We use DHCP reservations for our VM's, so each VM having the correct MAC address is very important, and I need to understand the behavior we could expect to see when switching from the default MAC address pool to a custom one. Thanks for the help!

Unsupported VM Configuration on SCSI pass-through disks - false alarm?

I have a brand-new 2012 R2 VM (Gen 1) on a 2012 Hyper-V host that is in SCVMM 2012 R2.  Upon adding four pass-through GPT disks via Failover Cluster Manager, the VM is now "Unsupported VM Configuration", error 659, saying there is already a device at SCSI 0,0.  A Refresh doesn't change it, and a Repair is not applicable.

I researched that multiple GPT disks were not supported in VMM 2008, but I assume they are OK now in 2012 R2.  I looked over the VM's settings in Failover Cluster Manager and SCVMM, and there is no conflict of SCSI port/LUN.   There seems to be nothing wrong with the VM itself, but SCVMM is giving a false alarm, I think. What could be causing this?

Hi,

I am using get-scperformancedata with Performance counter "NetworkIOReceived" and "NetworkIOSent".

But on client machine its failing with below error

Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Performance Counter'. The argument "NetworkIOReceived" does not belong to the set "CPUUsage,MemoryUsage,StorageIOPSUsage,NetworkIOUsage,PowerSavings" specified by the ValidateSet attribute. Supply an argument that is in the set and then try the command again.

Client is using same power shell version i.e 3.0 as I, but still its failing at client side.

What can be issue.

Everything is working fine at my end.

Configure Live Migration Multi-channel with SW QoS

June 30, 2014, 11:06 am
$

I'm a bit confused about what is needed to properly configure Live Migration using SMB multi-channel with QoS, using a SCVMM logical switch. Where I'm confused, coming from a VMware background, is how many and what type of vNICs that I need. I'm thinking I need two of some virtual NIC type, each with a unique IP address, which SMB multi-channel for LM would use. I would then somehow tie a SW QoS policy to the vNICs to ensure LM traffic doesn't stomp all over other network traffic types.

Any explanations would be most welcomed.
