Move VMs from Hyper-V 2008 R1 to Hyper-V 2012 R2

I have a Server with Windows Server 2008 (NOT R2) running with the Hyper-V role installed and 8 VMs.
I want to move them to our new server running Hyper-V 2012 R2.
I tried to copy the original files to the 2012 Server and Import them as described in a similar article on this site (not allowed to post a link) but I get following error message (translated from German):
Error while importing.
The VM-Version of the virtual Maschine xxx could not be updated: unknown error 0x80004005
The VM-Version 1.0 of the virtual Maschine is not supported.
Any suggestons / ideas on how to fix this Problem?

Hi Ralf,
>>I am afraid that there might occur a Problem with a double SID now?
There is no "double SID" if the SID that you mentioned is Virtual Machine SID , because you have created a new VM with new SID .
But if you mean operation system SID (I assume that OS is windows OS) then "double SID" might arise when they are  online at the same time  (but I think the original VM should be offline after you create that new VM ).

  • Moving database from mssql server 2008 R2 to mssql server 2012

    Dear Guru! 
    I am trying to move a database from mssql server 2008 R2 on mssql server 2012. Made a backup in mssql server management studio, tried to
    make a restore in mssql 2012 management studio. But get an error 
    'The operating system returned the error '5 (Access denied) '. How can I solve the problem?

    Use ALTER TDATABASE MODIFY if you want to rename files and sp_renamedb if you want to rename the db itself

  • Movie bought from itunes in 2008 will no longer play?

    Ok I bought the movie the notebook in 2008. I changed laptops this year and had the tehnician transfer all my files to my new laptop (muisc/videos). Now the movie will not play in itunes or any other music player. The video player comes up, but the screen itself just remains blank. I purchased the movie through itunes with the same email address I use now. When I try to play it, it says it is not authorized. Guys I HAVE authorized this computer, and have deauthorized all the computers and then attempted to authorize it again. It still will not play. I also have unistalled itunes to no avial. This isn't the only movie that is like that, all the movies I purchased in 2008-2009 will not come up through my purchases on my account to report a problem. But when I go to the movie in itunes itself it states it was purchased from me with the same email address I use now.
    I just want to be able to wath the movies I bought years ago without paying for them again. Anybody know how to fix this? Btw this has happend before, but apple support fixed it. Now I can't find the way to reach them, without them charging for asking a question. Gssh...

    Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

    Hi all;
    Suppose I have created a two-node Hyper-V cluster with a fibre channel shared storage in Windows Server 2012. Everything work fine except some issues. One of the is that when I want to configure the cluster to add a VM as its cluster resource, the following

    An error occurred while determining the state of this clustered role in the cluster. The remote procedure call failed with error 800706BE.
    Any ideas?

    I have tested many possible solutions without any success. The actions that I have done so far are mentioned in the following and the results of them have been said, too.
    When I restart the servers, everything are good but after some times when I reopen Failover Cluster Manager on one of the servers, the snap-in related to my cluster name does not load. Please look at the following figure:
    And when I want to connect to my cluster name, the following error message appears:
    Note: The above problem appears randomly regarding to servers. In the other hand, after the restart, one of the servers acts as the above statement.

    The firewall of both servers is off and I stopped the Windows Firewall service COMPLETELY.
    Any services and applications that are depending on RPC have problems. For example when I want o remotely manages the services on these servers by using Services.msc console, the following error message appears:

  • Unable to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 SP1

    I'm encountering error after error, after successfully installing the upgrade advisor (which took some doing) and running it with essentially no warnings/errors (the one warning was on the connection strings, as I recall -- and all of the warnings had a
    "fix after" status.
    First failure involved SSRS and the inability to create the "managed account". Backed out the upgrade using http://sqldbanotes.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-fix-failed-in-place.html
    Now the failure involves SSAS and unable to connect to analysis services with name MSSQLServerOLAPService.  That is the logical name for the service, although it shows up as just MSSQLServer when looking at it in the services list.  I tried
    setting the service account to a local account as  well as to Local System -- did not make a difference, the upgrade couldn't apparently find it regardless.
    Has anybody successfully done an in place upgrade from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012?

  • How to move from vmware ESXi 5.5 to Hyper-V 2012 R2 on same hardware?

    I have Vmware ESXi 5.5 Update 1 with two disks, called RAID0 (3.6 TB) and RAID5 (10.9 TB).
    I am tired of having to rebuild ESXi every sixty days for home use so I am planning on moving to Hyper-V, but I'm a little nervous. I don't have swing kit, so will have to repurpose my existing 1 year old quite powerful machine (Intel i7 32 Gb RAM two sets
    of RAID storage internal), 3 NICs. Features I need from VMware are:
    Ability to snapshot and revert to snapshot (running and stopped VM)
    Ability to move VMs between my different storage areas (RAID0 and RAID5)
    Ability to set up internal networks to the Hyper-V host so I can set up virtual labs on their own virtual networks
    USB pass through to the VM
    Auto start VMs with the host.
    Auto shut down VMs with the host.
    Templating of OSs - mainly Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2, but also Centos 7. Can I convert my ESXi templates to Hyper-V?
    Good performance from both Windows and Linux machines
    Easy management from a workstation on the network.
    Install Hyper-V to USB flash drive plugged in to the server.
    Can Hyper-V do all that?
    Also, I have a migration plan. Will this work?
    In ESXi move all machines for migration from RAID5 to RAID0 storage.
    Install Hyper-V on the host to USB flash drive (16 GB)
    Format RAID5 storage so it can take vhds. (NTFS?)
    Set up networks - have three NICs on the host.
    Install management software on my workstation
    Convert VMware vmx machines on RAID0 storage to vhd based machines on RAID5 storage. How to do this? My machines vary from v8,9 to vmx10.
    Power on VMs and perform checks.
    Any comments? I'm particularly concerned about the conversion process from VMware to Hyper-V and the reliability of it. Total size of VMs to convert is just under 3 TB.

    Hi Mark. The short answer is yes to all. The more detailed answer is:
    Make sure you're installing Windows 2012 R2 on the bare metal. All the following refers to 2012 R2. 
    I recommend you take some time and go through the
    Hyper-V Best Practices Guide
    Ability to snapshot and revert to snapshot (running and stopped VM) => yes, standard feature. Keep in mind this is meant to be a short term measure, not something you keep around for long time.
    Ability to move VMs between my different storage areas (RAID0 and RAID5) => yes, storage migration is a standard feature that allows you to migrate a VM storage while the VM is running. 
    Ability to set up internal networks to the Hyper-V host so I can set up virtual labs on their own virtual networks => yes. An external vSwitch is one that's attached to a physical NIC. I recommend you review Hyper-V networking. It's a bit different than
    VMWare. 
    USB pass through to the VM => not exactly. Some work around options exist, including sharing the USB drive on the host.
    Auto start VMs with the host => yes, standard VM setting. You get to choose per VM whether to always start, start if it was already running, never start, or start with a given delay.
    Auto shut down VMs with the host => yes (like save state) - defined in each VM setting
    Templating of OSs - mainly Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2, but also Centos 7. Can I convert my ESXi templates to Hyper-V => yes, native in VMM, plenty of Powershell examples available online. Manual steps in Hyper-V Manager to re-use a
    sys-prepped OS image is also available. 
    Good performance from both Windows and Linux machines => yes, depends mostly on hardware
    Easy management from a workstation on the network => yes, from a Win 8.1 workstation, install RSAT
    Install Hyper-V to USB flash drive plugged in to the server => yes. 16 GB is a bit small. I recommend a pair of mirrored 128GB SATA SSDs - should be inexpensive.
    In ESXi move all machines for migration from RAID5 to RAID0 storage => All you need for migration is the VMDK files for each VM. VM should be offline.
    Install Hyper-V on the host to USB flash drive (16 GB) => see recommendation about a pair of boot SSDs above.
    Format RAID5 storage so it can take vhds. (NTFS?) => yes, NTFS, 64KB allocation unit
    Set up networks - have three NICs on the host => in a single host environment / lab, you'll use 1 NIC on a single external vSwitch I guess. Or you can NIC team them then attach vSwitch to team.
    Install management software on my workstation => RSAT on Win 8.1
    Convert VMware vmx machines on RAID0 storage to vhd based machines on RAID5 storage. How to do this? My machines vary from v8,9 to vmx10. => try
    MVMC 3
    Power on VMs and perform checks. => no comment :)
    Did I mention the
    Hyper-V Best Practice Guide?

  • Moving VMs From One Hyper-v 2012 R2 to Another Hyper-v 2012 R2

    Hi everyone, was hoping for some help in something I am confused about
    Currently I have SERVER1 running hyper-v 2012 R2
    I want to move all my VMs (around 20)  to SERVER2 also running Hyper-v 2012 R2
    But I am confused on the best way to do this
    1) should I just click on "MOVE" on SERVER1 to move to SERVER2?
    2) Should I do an export and then import
    3) should I setup replication from Server1 to Server2 and then do a failover?
    4) or should I shut the VM down, copy the VHDX file and then create a new VM and use that VHDX
    I just want to be cautious and use the best method to ensure it goes smooth and not worry about any corruption. Can anyone offer some advice?
    thanks

    It all depends on your environment and your current Hyper-V configuration.
    I asume both servers are domain-member of the same domain and don't use SCVMM. If so, then make sure you do the following:
    First enable the "Live Migration" feature in the Hyper-V settings on both Hyper-V Servers.
    Make sure both Hyper-V Servers have a vSwitch configured with the same display name and connectivity. They must be somewhat identical, but not everything. As long as the connectivity is the same.
    Make sure you have a location to store the VM files on SERVER2.
    Then do a Live Migration from SERVER1 to SERVER2, follow the wizard. By using the Hyper-V Manager console on SERVER1.
    NOTE1: Without computer certificates and Kerberos configuration on your Live Migration settings you cannot initiate a Live Migration from the Hyper-V Manager cconsole on SERVER2. With the default configuration, you have to login on (or connect
    to) SERVER1 en then initiate the Live Migration. 
    NOTE2: If you can't configure the vSwitches the same. Then you have to shut down the VMs and do a Quick Migration. Then re-configure the VM network properties and power on the VMs.
    I hope this information will help you goin on. If you need more detailed information use the following link:

  • Moving VMs from Standalone Hyper-V to Hyper-v Failover Cluster

    Hello All.................I need to move Virtual Machines from Standalone Hyper-V based on Windows Server 2012 R2 to a Hyper-V Failover Cluster based on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    -  The VMs OS is Windows Server 2012 R2
    -  Applications installed on VMs are SCCM, SCOM, SharePoint, etc.
    1.  I am looking for a Checklist that I can run through and move them.  To make sure I do not miss out anything.
    2.  Would a downtime be required in this scenario while the VM is being moved?
    3.  What requires special attention in this scenario?

    Thanks for the reply.
    So, I do not need to do anything and just simply add both the cluster and standalone into VMM and then simply use the Move option.  Please, confirm if I have understood it correct.
    Yes. But be carefull. First shut down your VM's
    if possible and configure them in such a way they don't automatically start. If you install the SCVMM Agent, some Hyper-V related services are restarted, when some VMs start during that process you system may stall. I have seen this multipe times.
    There is another dirty option that worked of us perfectly. Export the VMs. Then import those VMs to a local disk on one Hyper-V Server. Refresh the Hyper-V Server and Virtual Machines on that Hyper-V Server. Give it a few minutes. Then do
    a Live Migration while at the same time makeing it "Highly Available" by moving it to your CSV. Works flawlessly. DO NOT IMPORT THE VMS TO YOUR CSV, otherwise you can't change it to "Highly Avaiable" unless you have
    two CSVs. Importing it straight to a CSV does not make them Highly Available.

  • Migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new san hardware

    We are getting ready to migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on an iscsi san to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on a new iscsi san.
    I've been searching for a "best practices" article for this but have been coming up short.  The information I have found either pertains to migrating from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 with failover cluster volumes on the same hardware, or migrating
    to different hardware without failover cluster volumes.
    If there is anyone out there that has completed a similar migration, it would be great to hear any feedback you may have on your experiences.
    Currently, my approach is as follows:
    1. Configure new hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new SAN with new 2012 r2 hostnodes and 2012 r2 management server
    2. Turn off the virtual machines on old 2008 r2 hyper-v hostnodes
    3. Stop the VMMS service on the 2008 r2 hostnodes
    4. copy the virtual machine files and folders over to the new failover cluster volumes
    5. Import vm's into server 2012 r2 hyper-v.
    Any feedback on the opertain I have in mind would be helpful.
    Thank you,
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    Yes , I agree with that "file copy " can achieve migration.
    Also you can try "copy cluster wizard " :

  • Migration of VMs from WS2012 Hyper-V Hosts Cluster to WS2012 R2 Hyper-V Hosts Cluster

    Hello All,
    We’re currently running our production VMs on a Failover Cluster of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Hosts. We’re planning to migrate these VMs to the cluster of
    Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Hosts.
    I have created a failover cluster of Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Hosts, and successfully tested the HA of my new test VMs on this new cluster.
    Anyone please tell me the procedure, steps and best practices to migrate these VMs from Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Hosts to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V
    Hosts.
    Thank you.

  • VM Migration from Hyper-V 2008 R2 to 2012 successful but leave duplicate source VM with "Incomplete VM Configuration"

    We are in the process of moving VMs from our legacy 2008R2 Hyper-V cluster to our new Hyper-V 2012 cluster using VMM 2012 SP1 CU3. Most VM migrations go just as expected and are completely successful. I have had a couple of VMs however that appear to successfully
    migrate but leave behind the VM on the source 2008R2 in the VMM configuration with a status of "Incomplete VM Configuration." Using the VMM shell, I get the following:
    Get-SCVirtualMachine | where { $_.Name -EQ "<VM>"} | fl name, status, VMId
    Name : <VM>
    Status : IncompleteVMConfig
    VMId : <DuplicateID>
    Name : <VM>
    Status : Running
    VMId : <DuplicateID>
    If you use failover cluster manager on both the 2008R2 and the 2012 clusters the VM shows it is gone from the 2008R2 cluster and just fine on the 2012 cluster. I have tried everything I can think on short of removing the cluster from VMM to try
    and resolve this issue and I really don't want to have to do this everytime I run into this issue. I've tried just right-clicking the VM in the VMM console and selecting "Delete" which does remove it but then it pops back in once the VMs refresh
    on the 2008R2 nodes. I have tried to force the removal using "Get-SCVirtualMachine | where { $_.Name -EQ "<VM>" -and $_.Status -EQ "IncompleteVMConfig"} | Remove-SCVirtualMachine -Force" and it again pops right
    back into the console. It seems to me like during the migration, SCVMM isn't cleaning up after itself and updating its database to reflect where the VM now resides. How can I permanently remove this VM that is leftover when migration between clusters without
    having to remove and read the cluster to VMM?

    Since nobody replied, I opened a case with MS.
    The resolution to this issue is to use Hyper-V manager to connect to the node you migrated the VM from. Here you will see a VM that has only a GUID for a name and is in an incomplete state. Right click this leftover VM and delete it using Hyper-V manager.
    Then go back into SCVMM and refresh both your source Windows 2008R2 and then your target 2012 clusters. This will reconcile the SCVMM database and the duplicate VM. According to MS, there is some process that didn't complete deleting this VM as part of the
    migration and performing these steps cleanly resolves the issue.

  • Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V

    My attempts to install are failing with a message "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing....Error code: 0x800705070".
    I am posting this on the Wondows 2012 Server forum but I have had exactly the same problem as described below with Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
    As the title says this is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 host with all current updates. I have downloaded the ISO file from a Technet subscription file twice, once by direct download and once by the Akamai downloader. The virtual disk is connected with
    the default IDE driver. I mounted both installation images as ISOs, located on a file system on the host server.  I have tried installs by deleting the VM and recreating both the VM and a new virtual disk, re-using a previously created virtual disk, and
    deleting the partitions in a previously created virtual disk, and executing the format command, and then attempting the install.
    I have exactly the same problem trying to create a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM on the same host OS.  With those attempts, I downloaded the Technet subscription iso 4 or 5 times, and burned one to a DVD which I attached to the created VM.  Same
    error message.
    The virtual machines and virtual disks I created and used were all located on an RAID5 array, on a builtin Intel RAID controller using Intel Rapid Storage Technology software version 11.2.0.1066.  The host Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 uses this file system
    but the OS is installed on a dedicated drive (C).
    I had previously created a guest VM with Windows Server 2008 R2 (several months worth of updates ago) without drama.
    I have spent hours reading forums and blog articles on this.  A common response is to download the iso another time, and/or burn it to a DVD instead of mounting an iso image. Although I didn't do the later yet with 2012 Server, but I have done these
    other steps attempting to install Windows 2008 Server SP1. The install process takes a while (not to mention doing multiple downloads). Given this seems to be a common recommended remedy, and indeed based on posts does seem to eliminate the problem is some
    cases, why doesn't somebody change the Microsoft installer program so it does a thorough integrity check at the beginning of the install process?

    Jeff,
    After the exercise of Windows 2012 Server successfully installing (as I described above) I also successfully installed Windows 2008 R2 on Hyper-V.  From my standpoint, I have eliminated the problem (which isn't the same as correcting the problem).
    The answer to your specific question regarding Hyper-V support is that the motherboard I am using, an Asus P5Q, is not supported by Windows 2008 R2 because it doesn't use ECC memory, and the vendor doesn't say it supports Windows 2008. But I am sure you
    know the motherboard vendors often don't test older motherboards with newer software versions.  It appears that in specifying ECC memory Microsoft is trying to protect users of Windows Server from hurting themselves, not saying the software won't run.
    Having said that, my suspicion in the beginning was, and still is, that it was some variable(s) left in an unknown state in the Hyper-V environment, which was why after trying to install Windows 2008 R2 several times I tried Windows 2012 which resulted in
    the same error, and then encountered the same error trying to install Windows 7 on the same Hyper-V installation. The specific Hyper-V Windows 2008 R2 server had run without any operating problems for months before I started having trouble, and although it
    had been quite a while since I had created VMs, that process used to work.  The hardware didn't change. What changed was applying updates through Microsoft Update, and a few access control rights I changed, and at least I think, I set back to their original
    value.
    So in short, no, my hardware isn't supported by Windows 2008 Server.  Two, your assertion that you are running the same software configuration that I am is very unlikely to be true. There are an extremely large number of things which are different between
    your test system and mine, such as which Windows 2008 components are installed, what updates were installed and in what order they were installed, and what other third party software each of us is running, and between AD, and all the features, a large number
    of potential differences in ACLs, options, etc. and I don't for a minute think this particular problem was caused by the underlying hardware.
    I do appreciate your taking the time to try to help me, and I hope there is one thing you and I could agree on. Microsoft could pretty easily make it much easier to isolate problems. In this day and age reporting hex error codes (as opposed to doing the
    table lookup in the error handling proc), and not providing more diagnostic information seems to me to be almost quaint.  And in this case Microsoft can dismiss my problems on the grounds it was all on unsupported hardware. Unfortunately, I think they
    are missing an opportunity to make their software better, because in my opinion what I encountered there are a set of conditions which will cause installations to fail that aren't going to get corrected.
