SPLA licensing for Virtual Machines & Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 ( Free Edition )

How to report Virtual machines running on Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 ( Free Edition ). Please see the below details.
I have Server with Xeon E5450 (1 Socket , 4 Cores & 4 Logical Processors)and running Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2( Free Edition) on it Now I have created some VPS with different config
including virtual processors. My question is how many licence i have to report and core os is free.

Hi Akshay Pate,
Hyper-V Server 2012 is a FREE (yes, completely free!) purpose-built product that includes the core of Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V.
The result is a streamlined Type-1 hypervisor that is optimized for remote management and provides the same virtualization scalability and high availability features as the Hyper-V role in the full version of Windows Server - including up to 320 logical
processors per Hyper-V host, up to 4TB of physical memory, Live Migration, Storage Migration, Virtual Machine Replication, Clustering and more!
More detail information please refer the following article:

Move Virtual Machine from Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Hyper-V Server 2012 fails with Error 2901

I have six Hyper-V 2008 R2 SP1 servers and two Hyper-V 2012 servers. I am running SCVMM 2012 SP1. I am trying to use "move virtual machine" from within SCVMM to move VMs from a 2008 host to a 2012 host. I have tried different VMs on different hosts
and they all fail with this error:
==========
Error (2901)
The operation did not complete successfully because of a parameter or call sequence that is not valid.
The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the parameters are valid, and then try the operation again.
==========
I have successfully created a VM on one of the 2012 hosts and moved it to the other 2012 hosts. I can move VMs from 2008 host to 2008 host. I just cannot move VMs from 2008 host to 2012 host.
Does SCVMM 2012 SP1 not support moving VMs from Hyper-V 2008 to Hyper-V 2012?

Hello Kevin,
Have you got an resolution yet ? Do you have latest update roll up pack applied to SCVMM 2012 SP1?
With SCVMM 2012 SP1 " Running VMs (Live Migartion) and VMs which are in Saved state or having checkpoints can not be migrated from 2008R2 host to 2012 Host "
above was fixed in SCVMM 2012 Update Roll up 1
Apart this please check the approx. size of data (VHDs) which will get transferred over the network , If you have large files chances are more to get such errors.
Thanks

Migrating Virtual Machine - Error "Failed to Complete planned Virtual Machine at migration destination" - Server 2012 R2

So to get started I'll give a bit of background on the Infrastructure we are currently working with.
We have:
2 x Hyper-V Hosts (Currently 2 for testing migrations, this will increase once we have a working platform)
2 x File Servers acting as storage nodes for VHD Storage
1 x Physical DC
The Hyper-V Hosts both have Server 2012 R2 Datacentre installed, the rest have Server 2012 R2 Standard installed and configured.
We currently have some VM's sitting on one host and I am in the process of simulations to make sure live migration is working between the two HV Hosts (This is a non-clustered setup), Everything is on the domain and i've been using a domain admin account
to administer these servers for these simulations.
We plan on having VHD's stored on FS01 and FS02, basically our primary host is going to have all primary servers on and then those vhd's will be stored on FS01 and then all secondary/redundant servers are going to be on the second host and vhd's stored on
FS02 - Simple enough?
I can perform Data migrations between both FS01 and FS02 using the Hyper-V Management tool on both hosts without any issues. The issue I am currently encountering is when I perform a migration of the "Virtual Machine Only". Now, this simulation
works when the data for the VM is stored on either of the hosts using UNC pathway, no hiccups at all, I receive the below error when ever the data is stored on either FS01 or FS02 using again, UNC pathway (These VM's power on and work perfectly otherwise while
hosted on FS01/02).
Error:
I've researched this quite a lot and have gone through countless solutions other people are having.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5780d041-4036-404e-9f33-8abe025bfe2b/hyperv-failed-to-create-external-configuration-store-general-access-denied-error-ox80070005?forum=winserverhyperv (Which
took me to the below link)
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2249906 (This solution didn't work, in fact i couldn't even get CMD to run the command)
Now, with
THIS SOLUTION that I attempted I worked with adding all the hosts and FS01 (because nothing is on FS02 at the moment) in an attempt to get the VM Migration only working between hosts and still receive the same error.
As a testing option, I Moved the Data for the VM back to one of the hosts using UNC pathway and then performed a live migration to the other host no problems, then performed a data migration back to FS01 and that also worked. I don't particularly want to
do this with production VM's as I have at least 6 x 780GB vhd's that need to be moved and this would move them more than once, obviously not ideal.
If someone is able to help me out, or at least point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!

I did try adding the 'Everyone' permission for the testing of migration to see if it was a permission issue which didn't help at all before I'd posted this article.
This ended up being a Computer Delegation issue, I'd neglected to add the 'cifs' (SMB Protocol) on ALL servers for ALL servers in the cluster, I didn't add that permission in my FS01 or FS02 servers for each other or the hyper-v servers that were in operation.
I've now started our production Hyper-V Servers and they haven't skipped a beat since adding in those delegations correctly to all servers as a "Full mesh" type setup.
Thanks for responding in any case :)
This is the permission I am referring to if anyone else has the issue:
AD>Computers>{Name of Computer}
I also performed an active directory replication forcefully with:
repadmin /replicate <Target> <Source> dc=Domain,dc=local
Run as a powershell command.

How to convert offline ESXi 5.5U1 virtual machines to Hyper-V?

Following on from my
earlier question, I am having trouble working out how to convert my ESXi VMs to Hyper-V. Am I doing something really unusual?
I have a ESXi 5.5U1 server at home for my home test lab. I want to convert this to Hyper-V Core 2012 R2. Target storage layout will look like this:
Currently under ESXi 5.5, I don't have the C drive (using a USB flash to boot), and the RAID-5 and RAID-0 arrays are two separate VMFS volumes.
I don't have swing kit to migrate, I have to repurpose existing hardware. I do have my Windows 8.1 workstation but that only has 900 GB free space.
Some of my VMs have vmdks greater than 2TB.
My plan was to
In ESXi before rebuilding, move my VMs from the RAID-5 vol to the RAID-0 vol and then delete anything that wouldn't fit that's not strictly necessary from the RAID-5 volume.
Shutdown ESXi and remove the USB flash drive.
Install Hyper-V onto the System disk as C drive.
Format the RAID-5 volume as NTFS (64k) and create a mount point into the C drive as C:\RAID-5. Put my VM disks in C:\RAID-5\VirtualDisks and the VMs in C:\RAID-5\VirtualMachines.
Somehow convert the VMs from the RAID-0 VMFS volume to Hyper-V VMs on the RAID-5 NTFS volume.
My confidence is low because I have tried to convert a new test machine created in ESXi 5.5 to a spare test Hyper-V 2012 R2 with the MVMC 3.1 converter and it failed. I also tried with the free 5nine converter and that failed too. I tried with and without
the Guest Additions installed. Both conversions failed. I should mention I am in a workgroup, not a windows domain.
Please help!

May i inquire on why those two products failed? I had some struggles with both of them but eventually got things worked.
Also you should try this one
Starwind V2V convertor, it has worked for pure offline conversions for me as well. That was years ago, so hopefully it still works.
Sure, here is the log from an attempt to convert a brand new VMware virtual machine which has Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard in it with no VM tools. http://pastebin.com/xdhzZ7tx
Here is the log from an attempt to convert a Lubuntu linux VM: http://pastebin.com/Nc0E8Bip
Both conversions attempted with MVMC3.1. Common error between them is
12/24/2014 08:25:36 +00:00 [7] VERBOSE: Microsoft.Accelerators.Mvmc.Engine.DiskCopyFailureException: The virtual disk(s) attached to the source virtual machine were not successfully converted to VHD(s) and copied to the
workspace folder path. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be
translated.
I retried using 5nine converter and it worked this time, not sure why. Will not try a test with a BSD based distro (pfSense) and Linux.

MDT 32bit boot image does not boot type 2 virtual machine in hyper-v

I created a type 2 virtual machine on a windows server 2012 R2 and tried to boot it with MDT 32 bit (x86) boot media and it will not boot.
Same media works if I use type 1 virtual machine .
Is this expected behavior ?
Thanks

Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'Machinename': Incorrect funciton. (0x8007001)

When enabling replication on several VM's, I receive Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine "virtualmachinename": Incorrect funciton. (0x8007001). However this error doesn't happen to all VM's and it isn't related to any
particular host.
I've traced this down to a VSS error, however when running ">vssadmin list providers", I receive the following indicating there are no errors:

Hi Jeremy,
Hyper-v replica broker is needed if you want to enable replica for hyper-v cluster .
Please refer to following link:

Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

I have a 3 node cluster that has replica setup to replicate to another cluster off-site.
Suddenly one of the servers is not replicating with the error:
Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE). (Virtual Machine ID CC0FD4CC-F9B7-4C68-ABE8-B7D52A87899F)
All other servers are replicating fine so there cannot be a permissions or connectivity issue between the 2 clusters.
This server has 2TB of data so I'd rather not have to start the replication again.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks.

Hi drensta,
Based on my knowledge , "hyper-v replica broker " is needed for failover cluster replica .
Here is a link for "Why is the "Hyper-V Replica Broker" required?"

Several SKUs inside the PAKs "LIC-VTS-PMP-PAK" and "LIC-VMCNDTR-PMP-PK" with Quantity Available = 2.
Now, since currently we have only 1 Cisco TelePresence Server and 1 Cisco TelePresence Conductor (so, no clusters at the moment), what we want to know is the following:
Which PAKs do we have to use? In particular, do we have to use only 1 "LIC-CNDTR-PMP-K9" PAK, or both?
Which exact quantities do we have to use from the various PAKs?
In other words, are the second "LIC-CNDTR-PMP-K9" PAK and the SKUs with Quantity Available = 2 only for redundancy/clustering, or are they needed for other purposes?
TIA and regards.

There's no limitation in licensing Telepresence Server but the platform capacity itself.
As far as you have the hardware that supports a such amout of screen licenses, you can fulfill them to this TS or vTS.
In the At-a-Glance document, Cisco refers to several hardware platforms that goes from the least to the uttermost deployments. (from BE6K MD to Cisco TS MSE 8710)

Advice on setting up a windows server 2012 domain LAB for study within Hyper V server 2012 r2 machine

HI im wanting to setup a study lab containing several windows 2012 r2 servers (mixture of core and full installs) to allow me to study towards my MCSA in server 2012 r2 and then for MCSE.
Physical equpiment,
1 pc   which is has window 8.1 pro installed from this machine. This machine i would like to remote manage and connect through to my Hyper-v server and then into any of the virtual machines. (this machine is more of a gaming pc so not
able to run to many vm's from it)
2 pc bought Just for study 8 core processor 1 tb of hhd space 16 gb of ram.
This machine i would like to setup using hyper-v server 2012 r2, which then i would create a test domain within it also with some clients allowing me to play and undstand the principles im learning.
now im getting conflictiong information regarding the Hyper-v server 2012.
If i set the hyper-v server up as a standalone in a work group. Would i be able to manage ther VM's within the hyperv server from my external windows 8 pro machine using the remote server management tools or would i need to connect that pc
to the domain.
Things I think i can do but not sure.   as im still learning
Could I setup a server 2012 r2 running AD dns and add the hyper-v role then wihtin that create the rest of the domain inside, allowing me from my other phyical machine log on to domain and manage all servers and machines.
Could I set up as i originally suggested, set up hyper-v 2012 server in a workgroup, then create the domain within the hyper-v server but still connect from my external pc to manage the hyper-v and all the internal VM's within the domain.
I could run a Domain controller on a VM from my other windows 8 machine (within hyper-v or wmware), then on the 2nd machine install the hyper-v server connect it to the domain running from the other machine from what i can see, many people say this is the
better option, BEST Practice, but this is only a lab and i dont require resilience. and i would prefer to have my  as a sever manager via the remote tools.
So what i like to know if you can point me in the right direction either by a guide for someone who has setup a similar to me.
or tell which of the above options is possible or not so i dont waste anytime.
Network, i know i can do this virtually but i already have cisco routers and layer 2 swicthes so i may make the network lab via them.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

"If i set the hyper-v server up as a standalone in a work group. Would i be able to manage ther VM's within the hyperv server from my external windows 8 pro machine using the remote server management tools or would i need to
connect that pc to the domain."
It makes it easier to set up if everything is in the same domain, but it is quite possible to manage the VMs without being part of the domain. A very useful tool that I use for my lab all the time (my lab is in a lab domain and my laptop is in the
corporate domain with absolutely no trusts between them) is RDCMAN.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21101 I all my machines, physical and virtual, defined within RDCMAN and can easily connect to any one of them from my laptop. But to understand how to manage everything remotely, I create
one virtual workstation within the domain and load all the management tools on it. I RDP to the management workstation and perform most management functions, but I can get to any machine directly if I need to.
"Could I setup a server 2012 r2 running AD dns and add the hyper-v role then wihtin that create the rest of the domain inside, allowing me from my other phyical machine log on to domain and manage all servers and machines."
Yes, but you could also build the AD as a VM, too.

SQL Server License for multiple machines

Hi,
Like Windows Server 2012 Data Centre edition, we purchase one license and can install OS on unlimited virtual machines.
Is it something possible with SQL Server 2012 ? If I want to have multiple VMs...

Set Scope for Virtual Machine in 2012 R2 WMI v2 Namespace

Basically, I want to know how to set the scope for a hyper-v vm in Server 2012 R2 so users see only the specific vm's assigned to them. I work at an academic institution, we intend to upgrade our 2008 R2 servers to 2012 R2 but before we can do that we
need our vm creation script to work properly. In older editions that have the WMI v1 namespace it used to be to set the scope for a vm you did so by modifying Msvm_VirtualSystemGlobalSettingData.ScopeOfResidence. In the WMI v2 namespace Msvm_VirtualSystemGlobalSettingData
has been removed and most of its features have been placed in Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData. ScopeOfResidence however is not in there and I can't find it or anything that sounds the same in any of the virtual system classes. Below is the unedited portion of
the old script I am having trouble converting to the v2 namespace. Someone please help, I need this working by the end of the month or I am going to have to abandon the server upgrade entirely.
# Set Scope!
$VM_Service = get-wmiobject -namespace root\virtualization Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService
$ListofVMs = get-wmiobject -namespace root\virtualization Msvm_ComputerSystem -filter "ElementName <> Name " | `
    where { $_.ElementName -like $vmName }
foreach ($VirtualMachine in $ListofVMs) {
        if ($VirtualMachine -ne $Null)
        $VMGlobalSetting = get-wmiobject -namespace root\virtualization Msvm_VirtualSystemGlobalSettingData | where `
           { $_.ElementName -like "*$($VirtualMachine.ElementName)*" }
         $VMGlobalSetting.ScopeOfResidence = $scope
         $VM_Service.ModifyVirtualSystem($VirtualMachine.__PATH, $VMGlobalSetting.psbase.Gettext(1))
Write-Host "Virtual Machine" $vmName "Added to Scope" $scope
# End of Set Scope

HI,
I have the exact same problem, and it totally prevents me from finishing my virtual environment.
I would like to be able to move some VM in specific scopes in order to apply access right on them, but nothing in the V2 tree seems to help...Is there an other way to do it on Hyper-V Server 2012 ?
Also, all modification using azman.msc are totally useless, and adding new groups and/or user in the Administrator role doesn't help.
Any advice will be welcome !

(Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server. (This
will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
Specifically, your best practices regarding:
the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,
the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),
IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,
disk caching settings on both host and guests.
Thanks so much for any information you can share.

A bit of non essential additional info:
We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
over to the new infrastructure . We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
We have read these and others:
Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100),
Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.
Chas.
