Unable to recreate replica as I cannot delete the xml files for the old VM on Hyper-v Cluster

My setup
There are 2 sites each running a Hyper-v 2012-R2 cluster comprising of 5 nodes each.
All the machines are in a HA state and stored on the shared clustered resource.
Initially we had replication working and it was replicating all the servers from Site A to Site B
There were some replication issues which needed me to stop the replication and redo it again, in doing so I firstly removed replication on Fail-over cluster manager on Site A and did the same on Site B.
On one of the servers I had to remove the VM, although the VM config and Disks still remain on the Site B Cluster.
I was trying to recreate the replica but it always fails with the following error :
Hyper-v failed to enable replication for virtual machine xxxxxxxx operation aborted (0x80004004).....
I followed an article to stop the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management Service and try delete the file,
When i tried to stop the service it would restart automatically and I was unable to delete the file. I put the service in disabled which kept it stopped however I was still unable to delete the files. I also tried to get File assassin which can help delete
and clear locked files but it too was unable to delete it while the service was running or stopped as well as its additional mode whereby it will delete it on next reboot.
The  Article Https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/4c4f2535-81ee-4a21-a920-b5632de2be37/hyperv-old-vm-folders-cannot-be-deleted?forum=winserverhyperv
 makes mention of stopping another service Hyper-V
Image Management Service but I am unable to find it on 2012-R2 server.
I have also tried to put the additional nodes in a paused drained roles state leaving only one node as the active one but it still will not let me delete the VM config
files, without removing those files I cannot re-initiate the Replication.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you storage migrate any other vms or resources off of the CSV that contains the XML file in question? If so you may be able to then take that CSV offline, remove it from available storage, re-add as available storage, and add to CSV Volumes. Maybe
that will clear your lock.

  • An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be...

    When trying to complete the tutorial for indesign I get the following error when trying to add an article to my folio:
    "An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found."
    I am able to create the folio then I click into articles. My document "WiFi_v.indd" is open when clicking add article, but I keep getting this error message.
    I am using the following versions of the software (Should be the latest).
    - Folio Builder (Downloaded version Version 1.1.8.0)
    reported version:
    11.4.3.20111129_m672305 7.5.5.17
    Adobe In Design 7.5.2 CS 5.5
    Also tried reinstalling the plugins (uninstall + install)

    If you're on Mac OS with the OS in another language than english the "User" folder might contain a non english character and causing problems.
    I e in Sweden the Mac OS user-folder is called "Användare". When attempting uploading articles from a file locaded anywere this "Användare" is in the file path the Folio producer says Error finding InDesign layout, due to -what i think is-the "ä" in Användare. If you still want to work local you can place the InDesign files directly into the Macintosh HD. In this case the User folder is not used.

  • An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be fou

    I just started experiencing this error when trying to update an article. I've tried deleting the article completely in the Folio Builder menu within InDesign but that doesn't seem to solve it. Anyone else experiencing this? I thought I saw a thread about it back in June but never saw a resolution.
    Thanks.

    UPDATE: I just deleted the article and instead of clicking "Add" at the bottom of the Folio Builder, I chose import from the flyout and that seemed to work.

  • Im unable to open the pdf file for the code to redeem Mountain Lion:the '*****'file could not be opened. it may be damaged or in a format that preview doesn't recognise

    I've tried opening the file in ibooks, on ipad, in Safari, and straight from e-mail, but it can't open the .pdf file. Could it be corrupted? I'm brand new to the MBP so may be missing something obvious!

    If Preview won't read the pdf file, try Adobe Reader. It is possible, of course, that the file may actually be damaged, as Preview should be able to open the file.

  • Hi, I'm trying to to export/import a XML file in the CP8, but it keeps telling me "Cannot import XML".

    Hi, I'm trying to to export/import a XML file in the CP8, but it keeps telling me "Cannot import XML".  To solve the problem I already tried following things:
    1. Exported the file and then attempted to reimport the unedited file into a copy of the CP-project
    2. Edited only a single character (using Notepad++) and once again tried to import the XML-file in the project.
    3. Renamed the XML-file and the CP-project.  Is there anyone who has solved this problem?

    hi do the following
    1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
    2. If prompted click yes,
    3.  expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
    something similair)
    5. right click the sid and press delete.
    6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
    in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
    i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
    i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

  • HT3523 I can play an .mov file but cannot open it to move it to another drive/disc/etc. When we try to open it, we get a message that says "The movie file for "beanmine.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."

    We can play a .mov file (a full-length film created in final cut pro) but cannot actually open it in QuickTime. We get the error message saying that a file is missing, and the movie can't play properly without the file. The thing is, we can play the film, we just can't open it to move it to another drive. Help?
    Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
    Help!

Help?
    Sounds like you created a "Reference" file here. I.e., a "Reference" file is a file that tells the player how to play the data contained in a "Resource" file. When you try to open the "Reference" file in the QT Player app, the first thing the player does is check to see if the "Resource" data file is is still available where it is supposed to be. (I.e., moving/deleting the resource file or moving reference file without moving the resource file to maintain the relative path between the two will generate the error message you mentioned.)
    Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
    That depends. Deleting a file does not actually erase the data immediately. Instead, the operating system just tells the system directory that the space containing the movie data is available for reuse if/when needed. As time passes, the chance that some of the data sectors will be re-written by other data continuously increases. To restore the file normally requires use of a special utility that both locates and restores all of the linked sectors containing the "deleted" movie data in their correct order. Other methods of restoring files would depend on the software you routinely have active on your system. For instance, do you use "TimeMachine?" or orther software that automatically backs up your data periodically? If so, then follow the instructions for your particular application to recover a deleted file.

  • Unable to open the XML files in Nakisa

    Hi Gurus,
    We are unable to open certain XML files in Nakisa. They show up as encrypted in the notepad or fail to open using the XML Marker. The files in question are
    AppResources.xml
    LoginConfiguration_SAP_Standard
    LoginConfiguration_Anonymous
    Purpose: We want to enable the SSO with the portal . We have checked the radio button but nakisa does not recognize the SSO ticket from the portal (Any folder in Nakisa where we need to place the Portal ticket?)
    Also we want Nakisa to show the org chart for the logged in user. Luke had mentioned that some changes need to be made in the AppResources.xml (hope i correctly remember this) and we were looking to make these changes (rather try out.. any pointers please..?)
    Thanks and Regards,
    Arun E V

    Hi Arun,
    These files are encrypted. If your organisation is a partner with Nakisa you can obtain the decrypter from them.
    Portal SSO works without any configuration directly in the XML files. If you are getting an error stating that the Portal ticket cannot be interpreted then your configuration is not correct. In your URL iView you need to ensure the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is used for the application URL. In the Administrator Console you need to ensure you enter the system details (Host, Sys Nr and Client) for the backend system which holds your SSO ticket for that Portal. You need to use FQDN here too.
    There is additional security configuration that can be done in the XML files but SSO will still work with just the Administrator Console configuration.
    I hope that helps!
    Luke

  • Error "Cannot parse appinfo xml file."

    Periodically my users are getting the error below when trying to launch BPC for Excel:
    "Cannot parse appinfo xml file."
    Seems this file is getting corrupted somehow. If I remove the file from their citrix profile and they relogin, the file is recreated and then they can launch BPC for Excel. Until then though, they get this error and sometimes it says the Web App server is unavailable, when it indeed is available.
    Anyone experience this, or have any ideas as to the problem?

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

    I believe that I deleted some important files from the utilities section.
    Im interested to upgrade my Mac to  OS X Mountain Lion.
    If I do so, will OS X Mountain replace my deleted files?
    At the moment I'm running Mac OS x 10.6.8

    Yes, if it is something that was installed as part of OSX to start with.  If you're missing Onyx, well that isn't part of Apple's software and you'll have to get it from the source.
    Depending upon the significance of the application there are ways do a custom installation of software rather than the whole operating system.  I use a much older operating system version so I cannot be very reliable on the specifics.

  • Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the...

    Add me to the list of those with TIme Machine backup failures.
    I am repeatedly getting the following error message:
    "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."
    I do have work-around.
    1. Open Time Machine Preferences... (from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar)
    2. Change Disk...
    3. Re-select the disk you are already using and select "Use for Backup"
    4. Back Up Now (from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar)
    The error eventually comes back, but following the above procedure keeps it at bay for a few days.
    I have only had these errors since 10.5.3.

    Mle,
    Take a look at the following...
    *_“Unable to Complete Backup. An Error Occurred While Copying Files to the Backup Volume.” (Console: “Error: (-43) copying”, “Copy stage failed with error:11”)_*
    There are several reasons why this error message can appear. Consider each topic individually. If one does not resolve the issue, move on to the next one. The following topics have resolved this issue for others.
    *If A Backup Is Interrupted* #
    “If an interruption occurs, Time Machine will wait for a period of time to see if the Time Capsule becomes available again. After this time expires you will see a alert message stating "Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." In Time Machine preferences, the "Latest Backup:" field will state "Failed".” [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1176]
    You will need to reestablish communication with the Time Machine backup disk.
    *Anti-Virus Software* #
    Have you been running anti-virus software? xClav, Norton, Sophos, Macaffe etc... According to many posters in the forums this software can play havoc with Time Machines attempt to function properly.
    *Firewire Devise Interferes with Time Machine Backups* #
    If you are backing up to an external hard disk by means of firewire, do you happen to have another firewire device attached as well? An iSight camera or video recorder maybe? Sometimes additional firewire devises can interfere with the signal/power to the backup drive. Unplug it and attempt a backing up again.
    *Corrupt File / Incorrect Permissions* #
    One poster observed: “I searched my system logs and found a file that caused my connection to the TC to fail. I erased that file (after checking what it was - a temporary file connected to my Epson scanner) and tried again to back up for the first time. This time it worked, and in under 10 hours (I had been expecting about 20-24 hours, based on the data transfer speed).”
    Initially this might be resolved without deleting the offending file. Simply use Disk Utility to “Repair Disk Permissions”. Or failing that, booting from the Mac OS X Installation DVD and running “Repair Disk” on the Mac’s internal hard disk. Now try backing up
    Otherwise, you may need to track down the specific file causing Time Machine to choke.
    Before attempting another backup, go into Applications --> Utilities --> and launch Console.
    Under “LOG FILES” on the left select "system.log".
    In the search field in the upper right, type in backupd. This is the process Time Machine uses to perform backups. By searching just for this process we'll isolate only Time Machine activities.
    With the Console open, attempt another backup and note the time it starts and the time it stops. Often, the activities reported will identify the very file or event that caused the attempt to choke. (You can copy and paste the events for this backup attempt from the log into a post here and we may be able to tell you exactly what is happening.)
    Once you determine which file or event it is, you can decide whether to move, delete, or modify certain things and then attempt another backup. For Instance, if the logs report something like this:
    +Error: (-43) copying /Users/Home/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions.plist to+
    +/Volumes/Backup HD/Backups.backupdb/My Mac Pro//Users/Home/Library/Application+
    Support/Quicksilver
    Then it’s telling you Time Machine is choking on the file labeled Actions.plist and it’s having trouble copying to the backup disk.
    On your computer, Navigate to that file ( Actions.plist ) and move it to the Trash, but DON’T empty it yet. Now try backing up again. If it succeeds, you can launch Time Machine and go back 24-48 hours and restore a copy of Actions.plist and replace it. Then empty trash.
    *Partition Scheme/Formatting Issue*
    This KB article explains one reason you may be seeing that error message [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550]. It's a partition scheme issue. Time Machine is incompatible with disks partitioned as Master Boot Record (MBR). Unfortunately, this describes nearly every hard drive you can buy because MBR is a Windows partition scheme. You will likely need to repartition the drive and start again. (Naturally, this DOES NOT apply to Apples’ Time Capsule.)
    One article on Time Machine made this observation: “Virtually everybody will have to open Disk Utility and repartition the disk as APM or GUID. It doesn't really matter which one because the Time Machine disk will not be bootable anyway. APM allows a disk to boot a PowerPC, GUID allows the disk to boot an Intel processor but both are easily digestible by Time Machine on either kind of processor.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
    Once the external hard disk is repartitioned, select it again in Time Machine preferences and use it for your backups.
    Let us know if any of the suggestions above resolved your issue.
    Cheers!
