So I am running into an interesting problem that I can't quite figure out. I was hoping that someone else may have some ideas.
Basically, I have SCVMM 2012 R2 controlling Server 2008 R2 clusters as well as 2012 R2. Additionally, it is controlling a Hyper-V 2012 and a Hyper-V 2012 R2 that are temporary for this migration. I need to migrate off of the 2008 R2 and get them running onto the newer 2012 R2 hosts. Our process is to migrate from 2008 R2 to 2012 to 2012 R2 and then finally to the 2012 R2 clusters.
We were attempting to move a server off of the 2012 R2 stand alone host to the 2012 R2 cluster and it immediately errors out with the following error.
Error (2904)
VMM could not find the specified path C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2\Guest\Virtual Machines\3DB87D66-CAB1-44EC-A611-4F26B3DC7741.xml on theSourceHost server.
The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003)
Recommended Action
Ensure that you have specified a valid file name parameter, and then try the operation again.
We can't figure out why it is looking there for the XML or how to stop it because the host is not a cluster and does not have CSVs. The XML file, along with all the other files associated with the guest is on the D drive of the host. The interesting thing with this is that the machine does start and if I use powershell to get information on the guest, it shows the correct XML path. Just for some reason the migration doesn't see that path.
I thank you in advance for your time.
