Just started a new role where virtualisation is Hyper V managed with SCVMM console. I am completely new to SCVMM and mostly new to Hyper V so could do with a some help with, what might be one issue or could be two separate issues
I've trawled the net but cannot find anything helpful so hopefully someone will have similar experience and can shed some light
ISSUE !: Two servers, a MS Failover Cluster hosting 2 instances of SQL, are reporting an 'Unsupported Cluster Configuration'. The error info is error(13921) suggesting an issue with NICs. I have checked all elements both back end and front end and all checks out OK. Virtual switches on the HYPERV cluster are fine. Just to make things more interesting, although one of the nodes is hosting both SQL instances, it hasn't been installed on the other node but I don't want to remediate this until I am comfortable with the next part of the problem (see ISSUE 2)
ISSUE 2: On the same two servers mentioned above, all options are greyed out, including Connect via RDP & Console, (although I can RDP to them both using MSTSC) and all power options, except delete. (if this were ESX based I'd say that the VM Tools weren't running)
Could all this stem from the incomplete SQL instance installation? Is SCVMM smart enough to recognise that there is an issue with the failover cluster config (I don't think so personally) and report it as an 'Unsupported Cluster Configuration' AND could this be causing the loss of controls.
