Hello,
When i try to remove VMM Service Deployment Configuration i get error:
Error (26965)
VMM is unable to find the specified static IP address pool. The specified name may be incorrect, or the pool may have been deleted.
Recommended Action
Verify that the name is correct and that the static IP address pool exists on the VMM management server.
How to force delete this Service Deployment Configuration ?
Hi all, I'm integrating SCVMM 2012 SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V with XenDesktop 7. When defining storage resources in XenDesktop, it can see the 'Local Storage' classification from SCVMM and use that for VM placement.
What this does though, is treat all local disks that have been marked by SCVMM as 'Available for Placement' as that Local Storage. (i.e. in the SCVMM console, view the properties of a Hyper-V host, select 'Available for placement' on specified volumes underHardware and then under Storage view the Storage Classifications on each physical drive.
Instead, I'd like to be able to treat each physical direct attached drive as a separate location for XenDesktop VM placement. To that end, I've been looking at setting a different storage classification for each physical drive I'm targeting. I assume this is the right approach as XenDesktop looks to query SCVMM for the storage classifications to define VM placement.
When attempting to change a storage classification on a physical drive in the host properties in SCVMM, I receive the following error:
---------------------------
Virtual Machine Manager

VMM is unable to process one of the provided parameters for the cmdlet (Set-SCStorageDisk):
Cannot convert 'System.Object[]' to the type 'Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.StorageDisk' required by parameter 'StorageDisk'. Specified method is not supported.
Try the operation again. If the issue persists, contact Microsoft Help and Support.

Directly running the PowerShell code returns the same error (as you would expect).
$vmHost = Get-SCVMHost -ID "31ddbd43-b14f-42a1-9326-710b45eec45d"
$storageClassification = Get-SCStorageClassification -Name "Local Drive D" -ID "a818fcbb-3346-49c4-837b-df2be834f7f7"
$hostDisk = Get-SCStorageDisk -VMHost $vmHost -Name "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0"
Set-SCStorageDisk -StorageDisk $hostDisk -StorageClassification $storageClassification -JobGroup "40edcf09-239e-496e-8dce-84b5eec02bb3" -Verbose
Set-SCVMHost -VMHost $vmHost -JobGroup "40edcf09-239e-496e-8dce-84b5eec02bb3" -RunAsynchronously -VMPaths "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V|D:\" -BaseDiskPaths ""Interestingly, if I change $hostDisk to $hostDisk[0], the Set-SCStorageDisk line runs and produces no error, but this does not actually achieve the desired effect.
Can anyone offer some thoughts or reasons why I would be seeing this? Or am I going about this the wrong way (and thus failing).

Hi,
What is the difference between express and distributed deployment of Windows Azure Pack apart from the individual components getting installed on separate machines. Does the express deployment put a limit on the ability to scale ?
Does the express installation in any manner limit the number of virtual machines that can be created by a user role / subscription id ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi team,
Running VMM 2012 R2 RU1, with multiple 2012 R2 host clusters (500+~ VMs).
When cluster update runs happen (and VMs move around), or non-VMM initiated live migrations etc, VMM seems to take a longer time than it used to.. to update the status. It seems to take longer than 5-10mins.
Is there a setting somewhere we can tweak (or is this normal)? The specs of our VMM server are quite high (4vCPU, 8GB ram, separate SQL cluster).
Hi,
I have already posted a similar question in this thread : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/64c8781f-6829-4583-b33c-c3bc9bf9451c/azure-pack-maximum-number-of-virtual-machines-per-subscription-id?forum=windowsazurepack.
In our current SCVMM 2012 R2 setup, we have some 800 virtual machines created under a single user role account (visible from the VMM console). But when we try to log in using the tenant site for the same user, we are able to see only 500 of these virtual machines.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn753717.aspx
The above technet article which gives the capacity planning testing methodology for API and management portal machines mentions 500 as the max number of virtual machines. Is there any kind of pagination which cause this ? Is 500 the maximum number of virtual machines supported per subscription-id by the management portal and the public tenant API ?
Is there any way we can increase the number of virtual machines per subscription id that are returned through API / management portal. If yes, please share the details.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am trying to deploy a service template in SCVMM but am receiving the following error:
VMM Received computer name TESTVM1.domain.com for VM TESTVM1.something.ad.domain.com. Expected computer name is TESTVM1.something.ad.domain.com.
Ensure that the VM has joined the right domain or workgroup then retry the operation.
The domain has a disjointed namespace.
I have tried using an unattend file to specify the domain to join - and a computer object is created in AD during the deployment process, but it still fails with the above message. Without the domain added to the answer file, it just errors as above.
When deploying the service I have tried specifying the name as TESTVM1.domain.com and also tried with just TESTVM1. Neither work, and specifying just the netbios name for the service template computer and virtual machine name variables auto appends the domain name to the VMM name for some reason...
Everything works fine when deploying a VM from VM template.
Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks
I have a problem with the VMM service causing my server to no longer boot. I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 server running on Hyper-V that has only SCVMM installed on it, I was getting ready to install SCCM on it after I finished migrating the machines to a new hard drive. After I moved the VM's all of them ran fine except the server with VMM on it, I spent plenty of time on Bing and Google trying to find out why my server was stuck at Please Wait and I found nothing, not one thing. I eventually disabled the SCVMM services in msconfig from safe mode and now it boots fine.
It cant be because I moved it because I had a previous VM that was my WSUS, Essentials, RRAS, RDGW and one i installed VMM on it and rebooted the same happened.
This did not happed when I was setting this up at my other deployment for another company
Hi All,
I am currently in the process of putting together a SQL service template for a single tier. The installation of SQL is sysprepped and I have all of my INI files saved and configured as a SQL profile in SCVMM. A requirement of SQL installations for this service is that logs, TempDB, and backup locations must be on separate disks for storage tiering.
This is where my problems start.
The SQL service will not complete and fails out when looking for directories on drives other than c:\. I created a diskpart script that onlines the various disks that sysprep removes and sets the proper drive letter structure, however, I cannot get it to run before the SQL customization.
Methods tried:
I have also had success with exporting and importing the MountedDevices key in the registry, but my problem is that I can't seem to run anything before the SQL portion of the template customization starts.
Does anyone have a method to properly run a script prior to the SQL sysprep customization ?
Hi
I have a 4 node 2012 (not R2) Hyper-V Cluster using a 2 node Scale Out File Server for storage. I am using VMM 2012 SP1 version 3.1.6046.0
A problem has occurred where VMM cannot refresh the HV cluster and on one HV host every VM has an "Unsupported VM Configuration" message next to it.
Upon refreshing the HV Cluster in VMM I get the following message for each of the SOFS file shares that we use:
Error (26202)
Share \\sofs.domain.local\share is missing appropriate Share permissions
Recommended Action:
Add full access rights for DOMAIN\vmm.client, DOMAIN\HVNODE1, DOMAIN\HVNODE2, DOMAIN\HVNODE3, DOMAIN\HVNODE4, to share permissions on\\sofs.domain.local\share and then try the operation again..
I have checked the permissions on each of the shares and all have Full Access Permissions for Folder, Sub Folders and Files for all HV Nodes, Domain Admins, VMM Client (which is also local admin on SOFS Nodes), Cluster Computer Account and System Account
Using Failover Cluster Manager I can access VMs and Live Migrate them fine.
I understand that sometimes VMM throws up the Unsupported Configuration Error when there is an ISO not on shared storage attached to a VM but there are no ISO files attached to any of my VMs at present.
Any help appreciated.
I am running into above issue with SCVMM 2012 and MS SQL Server 2014.
Tried all different solution posted so far but unfortunately still struggling with the same issue.
Any help in this will be highly appreciated.
I've gone through all of the articles, which have the same name of the error above and they are absolutely no help. The only thing that I have seen that may be close is to get rid of SCVMM and all of the data that it can't seem to clean up and rebuild it. That's completely unacceptable.
Here's the issue:
SCVMM 2012 R2 - Error (13921) The highly available virtual machine is not supported by VMM because one or more of its network adapters is not configured correctly.
I have a 4 node Cluster with all adapter EXACTLY THE SAME, name, settings, ALL THE SAME.
The error is erroneous because the Cluster validation for Network succeeds and I can fail machines over to any of the nodes using the failover cluster manager. and they never skip a beat.
What is going on???
Hi guys,
Looking at deploying SCCM 2012 R2 and SCVMM 2012 R2. I've used SCCM 2012 quite a lot in a previous environment, but not SCVMM.
I'm aware SCVMM is for bare-metal Hyper-V (as well as Xen and ESXi), and for managing the virtual environment, but do I create VM templates and create my VM Servers within SCVMM, or just the shell and PXE boot into a SCCM Task Sequence to deploy the OS?
Will also be running Orchestrator too.... So to deploy a VM would a runbook be used to create a VM shell in SCVMM, and then kick off a TS in SCCM?
Or should I be building the server templates and basically replicating some of SCCM's OSD capability for VM servers in SCVMM?
Thanks - Steve
After upgrade SCVMM 2012SP1 to 2012R2 Library Server became unavailable. All library sources with status "missing".
In VMM Console (Fabric - Servers - Infrastructure) VMM Server and Library Server agent status "access denied".
Tryed to remove and add Library Server: Error 24363 VMM agent needs to be reassociated.
Reassociating with different credentials (local and domain) goes fine, but agent status still "access denied".
By the way, after upgrade SCVMM no new events in windows eventlog.
How to repair work of VMM Agent on VMM Server?
I am using SCVMM 2012 R2 and Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts. I have 2 KEMP LoadMaster VMs running on same host and are trying to form HA pair. The way they form HA pair is to use VRRP to communicate to each other. It uses broadcast over 224.0.0.x IP address.
I have enabled Mac address spoofing on virtual switch but the VMs fail to create a pair. Looking at network captures, it seems that the multicast packets never gets a response.
So the question is, does HNV/NVGRE networks allow multicast packets to broadcast to other VMs connected to same virtual network? Is there something I can configure?
