Hi ,

I have scvmm 2012 r2 lab environment , now i want to test Vlan based networks , but i do not have real switches /routers for this testing .

can i achieve same thing with virtual routers and switches ..

any suggestion ?

Regards,

Kamlesh 

Very recently I had 1 of our 6 Hypver-v hosts cease to boot from the san.
So I removed it from the Hyper-V Cluster and reinstalled windows and brought it back up with the same name.

I rejoined it to the Hyper-V cluster. Everything went well enough until the next morning when I found that I could not put any of our 6 servers into Maintenance mode from the SCVMM 2012 console. In the console I get this message:

Warning (23756)

Changes have been made which should be verified by running placement again.

Recommended Action

Use the Refresh Preview action to run placement again.

I can live migrate single VM's around just fine and I can even clear out an entire host by doing a pause - drain roles from the failover cluster management tool. 

Once a host is empited out and not running any VM's then it can go into maintenance mode but what good is that?

I have gone down the rabit hole of Trace logging and this is what I am staring at:

E2C.0005::10/22-14:56:01.842#19Task.cs(259): Task failed error VMConfigurationPlacementOutOfDate (23756) with exception Microsoft.VirtualManager.Utils.CarmineException: Changes have been made which should be verified by running placement again.

00023123 189.36448669 [3628] Use the Refresh Preview action to run placement again. ---> Microsoft.VirtualManager.Engine.ImageLibrary.VMChildObjectNotFoundException: VMM cannot find VirtualHardDisk object e611e3a9-e606-4b67-a2e9-dd88924ad7ff. 

I have gone the router of backing up my Hyper-V database and running a couple of different sql scripts that are intended to remove orphaned objects. This has not helped.
I can not find this VHD object anywhere I have looked in the DB.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I may fix this issue. I am lucky in that all VM's are up and running but I am concerned for what this may do to our High Availability.

Hi,

I'm getting a error in the server manager on my Hyper-V 2012 R2 server:
Eventid 75 (system log) source: Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VmSwitch,

The operation 'Get Stats' failed on port <number> (friendly name:) on switch <number> (Friendly name: <switch-name>). Status = A non close operation has been requested of a file object with a delete pending..

I'ts a Windows Hyper-V  2012 R2 server with a virtual switch created with SCVMM.

It looks everyting works but this error still once in a while pops-up.

Hi

Using SCVMM 2012R2 update 6.

I have a machine stored in library with snapshots. Somehow SCVMM fucked it up, so now the minimum memory settings is 4MB and therefor it wont allow me to deploy it to a host. And I cannot changed the value when its in library, so how can I fix it?

Hi All,

I hope someone can assist on this. I am trying to install SCVMM on Server 2012 R2 but i keep seeing this fail.

Here is the current setup:

Windows Server 2012 joined to domain.

MSSQL Server 2012

Windows AIK

Features - WinRM

When i try to install i receive error 

"Installing D:\SC2012 R2 SCVMM\amd64\setup\msi\Server\vmmServer.msi failed with Windows Installer error 1603.
See C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\vmmServer.log for more information. After resolving the problem, retry setup."

When i check the vmmServer.log i can see the following:

Error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.  Custom action ConfigWsman script error -2147221503, :  Line 260, Column 9,  
MSI (s) (2C:BC) [17:07:00:309]: Note: 1: 2265 2:  3: -2147287035 

Please someone assist on this :S i am out of ideas.

PS. Few days ago i was able to install SCVMM on virtual environment.

I found some inconsistencies between the VM state and properties reported on the Hyper-V and the SCVMM db data.

How do i force update the SCVMM DB data ? without restarting the application, or the VM .

My env:  I have the Hyper-V formed from 4 hosts.

The VM that has inconsistent data is recorded in SCVMM db as being hosted on host 4 and with NULL OSID and OSProfileId data.

Now on the actualy Hyper-V the VM is hosted on host-2 and has a Windows 2012 R2 installed on it.

I checked the OSID tables and we have that type of OS record there, so it should find it.

I know the simplest method would be to just run the update query with the corrected info but that is an aproach that i don't like it. Also i tried with updating the ObjectState in VObject table to 1 and wait for the SCVMM update to pick it up but it doesn't.

Thanks guys.

Frenz,

         I have a SCVMM 2012 R2 environment running on 2 Node cluster as a VM.

         I would like to add a new library server for the same.

1. Can I create a fileshare in the Same hyper-V cluster (as my SCVMM VM) and attach it to the SCVMM Server?

2. If No, can I create a New VM and add it as a SCVMM Library Server.?

Hello.   when I deploy my Virtual machine with VMM Static IP address Pool , my VM gets the DNS setting of the pool , but not the IP address that is automatically assigned by the Pool. Instead it gets an IP address form DHCP server.However, if I manually enter an IP address from the pool in my VM network adapter setting, VMM recognizes that and the IP address Pool excludes the address. This is all on a single subnet. Th VMM's job for deploying the VM does not give any error or warning. I use a VM template that has a sysprep VHDX disk in order to deploy the VM. VMM is 2012 R2 with  rollup 7 and the  VM is 2012 R2. 

Any Suggestion would be greatly appreciated. 

What is the best method to migrate VM's from a 2008 R2 hyper-v cluster to a 2012 hyper-v cluster with new storage targets?

Thank you,

Bill

Hi ,

I have to use below features of  SCVMM 2012 R2 , I am looking for Step by step Articles in details rather than Technet for below features configurations..

so that i can go through articles understood the features and implement accordingly for All 2012 R2 Hyper-V Hosts that managed by SCVMM 2012 R2 .

1. load balancing of VM between different physical host for CPU, RAM and storage LUNs for Capacity and I/Os
2. Monitoring QOS
3. Reserve resources at server, storage and network for VMs running very critical workload
4. Ability to virtualized network for run network policies in hypervisor to deliver micro-segmentation and network services.

VMM 2012 R2 with Update 1

HP 3Par7200 - 3.1.2 (MU3)

I go to fabric/storage/Add Resources/Storage Devices. If I select "SAN and NAS devices discovered and managed by a SMI-S provider" I am able to point it at my 3Par and successfully add the array. If I choose "Fibre Channel fabric discovered and managed by a SMI-S provider" I get the following.

"Storage discovery of fabric provider '3PARAddress' for user 3paradm failed from vmm2012.xxx. Specify valid provider, port and user credentials for storage discovery."

Is there some configuration I need to do on the 3Par to enable Fibre channel fabric discovery?

Thanks.

We have VMM 2012 R2.  In Sept/Oct of 2014 we were able to update all resources in VMM (Library Servers and Hyper-V hosts) by creating an update baseline and then adding updates to it.  However, since then, when i create a new Update Baseline, add updates to it and assign it to servers, when i scan against it, they don't show as requiring any new updates and are compliant with all existing updates.  

I've verified the updates are in my new update baseline.  When i click on a library server (the update server for example), and right click and select Compliance Properties, i can see all the baselines assigned to that system.  It shows all the updates in each baseline, and in the existing baselines from Sept/Oct, there are updates in that baseline.  It also shows my baselines from November and December, but it doesn't show any updates in those. 

Whether I create a new baseline or add updates to an existing baseline (whether that's an Nov/Dec or Sept/Oct baseline), no updates show up under Compliance Properties of an assigned server.  They do show up in the actual Update Baseline under Library | Update Catalog and Baselines | Update Baselines.

Any thoughts?  I'm stumped

Hello, I've got a strange problem with the new 2012 R2 Azure Pack & Service Provider Foundation for SC VMM 2012 R2. On the Service Management Portal, I can create Plans, Users and Abonnements without problem and I also can access the Tenant-Portal with the Users I created. There I can create, Start/Stop and delete VMs, but there is one thing I can't do: Connect to the machines via Console or RDP. No matter from which Server/Client, or with which Browser and security settings, its not working.

While using Internet Explorer, after clicking on connect simply nothing happens. When I use Firefox or Chrome, following Errormessage is displayed: "Error downloading the Remote Desktop File for the virtual Computer: [Name]" (crudely translated from german).

This happens with Linux and Windows VMs.

On the Azure Pack Server, the following message is logged every time I try to connect:

Resource provider unexpected exception for request with verb 'GET', operation name 'Outgoing tenant proxy call', request URI 'https://r2-sc2:8090/SC2012R2/VMM/fe8fd994-4377-46d1-a0f3-414ecb4fbbe7/Microsoft.Management.Odata.svc/VirtualMachines(ID=guid'2255635b-f336-4d48-9e84-d726bc50b19a',StampId=guid'd97edce9-d910-4de9-b84c-a62a2271076b')/VMConnection',  version '', client request Id '', server request Id 'f6222642dfd446278922a22dd7ab9ccb.2013-07-24T15:02:19.9992631Z', status code 'InternalServerError', reason 'Internal Server Error', body '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><m:error xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata"><m:code /><m:message xml:lang="de-DE">An error occurred while processing this request.</m:message><m:innererror><m:message>Invoking method GetReadStream of type Microsoft.SystemCenter.Foundation.Psws.Spf.SpfOperationManager failed.

I am upgrading from SCVMM 2008 R2 SP1 to SCVMM 2012. DB is running on SQL 2008 R2.

This is an Inplace upgrade of SCVMM.

The account that we are connecting SQL DB and installing  has SA and DBO rights. SA permission we are using until the install/upgrade is complete.

Hello,

I'm trying to Leverage the Fast File Copy and I followed these Prerequistes

• Only for new VM deployment from the VMM library
• RAA (run as account) on source and target
  • VMM and the hosts (source and target) must be on the trusted domain with no firewall among the environments.
• VMM R2 agent
• VMM R2 Server
• Windows Server 2012 and above
• ODX supported SAN storage

and I made sure that we have the Run As Account set on the Host Access. Do I need to have the SAN added as Storage Device in the File Server? or what am I missing? I keep getting the Error 26559 username and password is wrong.

I found one interesting table in VMM database - "tbl_VMM_Numbers"

Yeah!) It have 1025 rows like this.

Just out of curiosity, how this can be used? :)

Recently, we experienced the below issue:

When some user try to open VMM console and connect it "use current Microsoft Windows Session identity", the log on willl fail with the below error; (But some other user in the same group can log on successfully)

Error:

VMM is unable to perform this operation without a connection to a Virual Machine Manager Management server.

Screenshot:

Can some one tell me what's wrong with this?

Troubleshooting that we have done:

1:We add this problem user explicitily and it doesn't work.

2: Checked windows event log, no related error.

3: Follow some forum link to check the ownership of the backend vmm database and the owner is existing.

What we wanted:

1: Tell us how to enable the more detailed log why the sign in failed.

2: Give us the possible reason for this and how to fix it. 

Many Thanks!

Robbie Meng

Hello all,

I am trying to find a way to force a VMs operating system disk to live on one storage classification and have all its data disks live on another storage classification.  This is my environment...

SCVMM 2012 R2

2 x Hyper-V hosts

3 x 7K disk arrays SAS

2 x 10K disk arrays SAS

I have 2 Hyper-V hosts with 5 disk shelves connected via SAS. 2 shelves are 10K disks and classified as Sliver and 3 shelves are 7k disks classified as Bronze. Is there a way to force all OS disks to live on the Silver disks and have all subsequent disks to only live on the Bronze disks.  Currently I am building a VM with 3 disks then doing a manual storage migration to get the disk moved around which does not seem to be the most efficient. 

Thank you.

I have a 6 node Hyper-V 2012R2 cluster managed by VMM 2012R2 using two CSVs

for testing I have completed a couple of storage migrations of running VMs from CSV1 to CSV2.

VMM says it is all ok and completed successfully, it even shows the VM as still running.

Failover clustering shows the VM failed with even 1069 error code '0x2' "The system cannot find the file specified"

Best of all Hyper-V Manager doesnt show the VM on any of the hosts!

failover clustering then moves the VM about onto different hosts to bring it back online but this fails.

looking at the old files on CSV1 I can see there is a .BIN file left in "C:\ClusterStorage\CSV1\test3\Virtual Machines"

This file has copied to "C:\ClusterStorage\CSV2\test3\Virtual Machines"

I cannot delete the old file from the CSV1 location.

I have checked AV exceptions and they arent scanning CSV1

I have also used process explorer to see if I could see what had a lock on the BIN file but the only things I found were explorer.exe and vmms.exe on the host that was hosting the VM originally.

I have resolved this previously by rebooting all hosts in the cluster but that is not really a long term solution as the VM is offline

any suggestions?
