2012 R2 logical switch VMQ

Hey,
We are trying to set the correct settings for VMQ on 2012 R2 on our physical servers.
Switch settings, Independent mode, Dynamic.
CPU, HT 2x12, lp 48.
Receive queues is 15 per port, 2x10GB.
Per default it sets to base 0, max 16. This seems to work fine except that it reports alot of errors in the event logg as we are not using the correct settings for sum queue mode.
All settings with baseprocessornumber 0 seems to work fine, but on the second port if we set it correct to not overlapp it doesnt work.
Any suggestions?
//Johan

We're having the exact same issue. I posted to another community thread which seems abandoned by the original author but very similar in symptoms (they failed to post the event log):
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c9884adf-1402-4323-b359-97739731f412/vmq-enabled-but-not-working?forum=winserverhyperv
If we leave our NICs (Qlogic QLE8262 cards, using one port from each card, running latest drivers) at the default of base proc zero, then VMQs are allocated but the LBFO warning happens (makes sense). But changing it to anything else fails with the OID error/failure.
Our hardware is Dell PowerEdge R820s and I've checked the BIOS for any odd IRQ options, but nothing there. Firmware, BIOS, drivers, etc are all the latest. We also have a case open with MS Support and thus far they haven't reproduced it on their end, but
are finally queuing up for a remote session.
My guess would be driver issues as well, even though Qlogic explicitly states VMQ support.

VMM 2012 sp1: unable to create a logical switch on team with different nics (bug?)

Hyper-V Host is HP Proliant G7 with 4 onboard nics and additional (different) 4-port adapter, all 1Gbit. Server 2012 with latest updates.
VMM 2012 is sp1 with latest updates, server 2012 running in a vm.
When I create a logical switch with teamed uplink port profile in VMM, the job builds the team but fails to create the vswitch when ports from both onboard nics and adapter is used.
I am able to create a vswitch manually on the team if I do it directly on the host.
If the team is created on either purely onboard nics or purely adapter nics, the logical switch creation succeeds.
In short terms: I am able to create a vswitch based on a server 2012 team with different nics, but not a logical switch. Why?

I have tried assigning both nics in one step, and one by one. When I create the logical switch team with only one nic it succeeds, but then fails when I add the second (unless it is similar to the first).
Error in VMM is
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the dkfuzhv01.mia.local server: : .
WinRM: URL: [http://dkfuzhv01.mia.local:5985], Verb: [GET], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/ErrorInfo?ID=1010]
Unknown error (0x80041001)
Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server dkfuzhv01.mia.local. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If dkfuzhv01.mia.local is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that
VMM agent is installed and running.
If I add the second non-similar team member from the host itself, I get this error from nic teaming wizard
Validation failed and changes to the system are rolled back
It is not a question of losing connection (been there), management interface is on a different team. And it also fails when second team member is added directly on the host...
So far I will stick to the conclusion that my problem is with logical switch and different nics :)
Oh, by the way nics are HP NC382i (Broadcom) and NC365T (Intel)

VMware ESX Cluster Port Groups not Replicated as Network Sites in SCVMM 2012 Logical Switch

To whom it may concern,
We have added our ESX 4.1 Update 2 Cluster that's being managed by VMware vCenter to SCVMM 2012 because we want to create a private cloud and use the resources of the ESX cluster. SCVMM is replicating all the vSwitch from the ESX cluster as a logical network
but it's not replicating the port groups on the vSwitch as Network Sites associated to the Logical Network.
May you please advise or confirm that this is the normal behaviour of SCVMM? Or is there any way that SCVMM would be able to recognize the port groups associated to the ESX vSwitch and replicate it a a Networks Sites associated to Logical Switches?
Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Graham,
Thanks for your reply.
I understand that we need to configure the port groups in the vCenter server but SCVMM is only replicating the vSwitch as a Logical Network but not the port groups. It should also replicate the port group as a network site associated to the logical network.
On our VMware environment, we have port groups on different VLANs and being mapped to one physical NIC. When creating a VMware VM in a private cloud with a self-service user role we can't select the option to connect the port group that we've created from
the vCenter server. The only option it gives is the logical network (vSwitch) not the port groups within that logical network (vSwitch). Even if we create network site within the logical network (with assigned VLAN) in SCVMM, it randomly selects the port group
within the VMware vSwitch when we create a VM. We need the users with a self-service role to be able to select the port group from our vSwitch to assign the virtual NIC of the VM to a specific port group. In this way, they don't have to call or email us to
assign the VM to a port group.
I still don't understand why SCVMM does not map the port groups we've created from VMware vCenter server with user that has a self-service role. Is there any other way so that we can map the port group automatically to SCVMM?
Please advise. Thanks!

Logical Switch and Logical Network

Hello All...................I have Hyper-V Failover Cluster based on 5 Hosts and I am managing it with VMM 2012 R2. I was slightly confused with respect to Logical Network and Logical Switch in the Fabric Settings. I would appreciate if someone could
shed a little light on the difference between them. Also, while there is a Logical Network defined by default (Name of the Virtual Switch of Hosts), there is nothing defined in the Logical Switch. Which one is mandatory? Logical Network or Logical
Switch? Can I delete the default Logical Network?

Hi Nick,
Please find below link for the whitepaper mentioned by Kristian.
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hybrid-Cloud-with-NVGRE-aa6e1e9a
For a complete reference please refer below series. This covers VMM 2012 SP1 but should be fine with R2 as well.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2013/01/08/virtual-networking-in-vmm-2012-sp1.aspx
Logical Network is defined for easier management and used in Network Virtualization where as Logical switch is used to configure networking in multiple Hosts rather than creating individual Virtual switches in each host. If it were me I'll leave the
default logical network as there is no harm of doing nothing in it.
I hope this will shed some light into your situation.
Thanks,
Janaka

SCVMM Logical switch setup from not using SCVMM

I'm playing around with SCVMM 2012 SP1 with my Hyper-V 2012 setup. I have a test server but I'm looking at migrating from the way I was doing thing to the way SCVMM does things (with logical switch and multiple virtual network adapters per VLAN)
This is how I currently have my production setup:
Each Hyper-V host has two nics
Those two nics are teamed together using Windows 2012 Teaming (Hyper-V port, switch independent)
They were not configured with SCVMM
The Hyper-V virtual switch is named "Trunk"
All VM's are part of the Trunk virtual switch and tagged on the guest level
What I'm trying to do after watching this video: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/tdbe13-network-management-in-system-center-2012-sp1-vmm.aspx
Created my logical network "Datacenter"
Added my three VLANs to the Network site: (VLAN 1 is management, VLAN 10 is client, VLAN 505 is DMZ)
Created my Native Port Profile with HyperVPort and Switch Independent and mapped it to my network site and used the Datacenter logical network (DID NOT check network virtualization.. don't want to use that)
Created my logical switch with uplink mode TEAM and bound to my uplink port profile
Now on my test host:
I broke the existing TEAM I had. So now it is a server with two nics and the IP it had on one nic (10.10.0.207)
Went to properties of VM
Virtual Switches -> New Logical Switch -> Mapped to my "datacenter" logical switch, picked both physical adapters and mapped to my only uplink port profile I have
New Virtual Network Adapter
Name: Management, Checked this adapter inherits settings from physical, mapped to my Management Network, set to "Host Management" port profile"
New Virtual Network Adapter
Name: Client, adapter inherits is not checked, mapped to my Client Network, set to medium bandwidth port profile
However when I do this:
Error (2940)
VMM is unable to complete the requested file transfer. The connection to the HTTP server HYPERV07.mgmt.local could not be established.
Unknown error (0x80072ee2)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the HTTP service and/or the agent on the machine HYPERV07.mgmt.local are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTP/HTTPS traffic on the configured port.
What I noticed:
I never lose connectivity to the host during this process
Always failes at 65%
Is this because I don't have a dedicate NIC for management? Also would there be an easy way to migrate from how my production is setup to what I'm trying to do?

I am actually just finishing up but I redeployed and went to 2012 R2. It seemed to be able to do it.
What I did was created one logical switch with one vSwitch (which is a trunk). Then multiple VM Networks that have the different VLAN ID's.
It seemed to work OK except during the creating it wouldnt TAG VLAN 1 on the vSwitch when it created which was needed for it to communicate on my network. Once I saw it creatd it and lost connectivity I manually put the VLAN 1 on the vSwitch and set the
IP address for the host.
So far seems ok but I'm still associating VM's with the Logical Switch I setup and bringing everything back up...

Correct binding order in a Cluster with logical switches, NIC teams, and vNICs on the host.

I have seen many recommendations to set the network binding order on you Hyper-V hosts to something similar to:
Management NIC
Cluster NICs
iSCSI NICS
However, all of these recommendations are for scenarios where the NICs are all physical NICs in the host.
Using Server 2012 R2, I am building converged networks with logical switches, NIC Teams, and vNICs on the host. So when I go set the network binding order, I now have all these components to deal with as well. For example, on a 4 adapter blade,
I might typically have the following items in the binding order drop-down.
4 - physical NICs (2- teamed for the 1 virtual switch, the other 2 used for iSCSI)
1 - Team interface (Datacenter_Switch)
5 - vNICs (Management, Cluster, LiveMigration, iSCSI-1, iSCSI-2)
So, should you only worry about order of the vNICS (placed at the top) and let the other components just fall to the bottom of the list? This seems to be likely to me, since the binding order applies to service access to the resources, and the other
components are not being directly accessed by network services?
Or, should the order start out with the physical resources needed to access the vNICs, followed by any intermediate resources (switches or team interfaces, then the vNICS themselves, to ensure that the resources are available to the subcompnents accessing
them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
-Tim Reid

If by 'network binding order' you mean the order set in the Advanced Settings of the Network Connections of the Control Panel, then the most important one is to make sure the domain network is at the top of the list. Whichever network is at the top
of the list is used first for auth functions. So auth functions perform best when the proper network is placed first in the binding order. After that, I don't know that it makes much difference at all. (If it does, I'm sure my statement will
start a lively discussion. <grin>)

Physical adapters go missing after being applied to Logical Switch

I have an existing VMM 2012 environment that has been working without trouble for quite some time. We're doing a domain migration, so I created a cluster on the new domain and added it to my old VMM environment to make the transfer of guests easier.
I an having trouble with creating Virtual Switches on the two new hosts in the new cluster. Essentially, I create a new logical switch using the configuration set up for the other existing servers and add two physical adapters to it. It's configured identically
to my other two clusters. After I apply the changes, the switch is created and the NICs are teamed (verified in nic teaming console) but the physical adapters disappear both from the just-configured switch but also the hardware tab. Trying to connect a VM
to this results in "not specified" being displayed in the connectivity field (browsing yields nothing).
I'm hoping I simply missed something since it's been ages since I had to build a new cluster but a side by side comparison seems to indicate the old/new clusters are configured similarly.
Thanks.
Tim

why reinvent the wheel use rman deletion?Will you please clear that how RMAN will identify the applied logs?
Are you talking about archive deletion policy?
If this the solution, then this didn't work fine for me (10.2.0.4), you may check this out for 11.1.0.7.

Logical Switch design question...

I received a new server that has 4 NIC's.
I've seen alot of articles about seperating out the Management, Live Migration, Cluster, and Tenant traffic but it seems they are putting it under all the NIC's teamed.
So my questions are:
Is it better to dedicate a single NIC to management, single NIC to live migration, then TEAM the last two NIC's for tenant traffic?
Or is it better to TEAM all four NIC's and put them under one logical switch then create a virtual switch for Management, Live Migration, and Tenant traffic?
I am using multiple VLAN's for customers.

I went with a dedicate physical NIC for management and live migration and then teamed two NICs for VM traffic

Portgroups related to Logical Switches

Can anyone decode the naming convention of portgroups created by the logical switches like i can understand transit network is the name of logical switch and 5000 is the VXLAN id but what are the other words given here i just want to understand. Screenshot attached.

Taking one apart:
vxw-dvs-22-virtualwire-1-sid-5000-Web-Tier
In parts:
vxw                -> VXLAN-VirtualWire to distinguish the port-group that it was created by vShield/NSX
dvs-22            -> Moref of the vDS (check in mob: https://<vcenter>/mob/ )
virtualwire-1    -> vwire id within vShield/NSX
sid-5000        -> segment id what this wire is using
Web-Tier        -> name of the wire/virtual switch what you gave in the GUI
The last one is for the vTEP port-group where the vmkernel for VXLAN is connected to. Similarly it is using using the dvs-22 as dVS id and it was given a unique UUID at the end.
Does it help?

Roland

How to get Port Classifications for Logical Switch via scvmm console

Hello All,
We are creating some automation tool based on SCVMM console scripts.
In order to create vm we need to assign port classification based on Virtual Switch and then logical switch. The problem is that I could not find any way to retrieve port classifications assigned to logical switch (Virtual Port tab in SCVMMs logical
switch properties). There is Get-SCLogicalSwitch that return just name, description and some properties. There is also Get-SCUplinkPortProfileSet which returns Uplink tab data of SCVMMs logical switch properties. But no api to retrieve port classifications
for switch. Get-SCPortClassification also doesn't return switch assignments. Any ideas how to get this data?

I think you are looking for
Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapterPortProfileSet.

Cannot Add Logic Switch To host When Teaming two 10Gbe ports on the same CNA or on different CNAs

We are trying to set up a new Hyper-V environment for a customer with VMM2012 SP1. We have the hosts configured, imported, and clustered. The Uplink Port-Profile is set to the proper LACP teaming method for our switching. The Logical switch
is created in uplink mode Team and includes the proper Uplink Port Profile.
When we go to create a logical switch on the Hosts using the two interfaces to be teamed, we get Warning (25259), Error while applying physical adapter network settings to the teamed adapter. Error code details 2147942484.
I reasearched and found articles about setting up NICs in a correct order in the team from least capable to most capable, but in this case we are trying to team two ports on the same adapter... We have tried with Intel X520-2's and Brocade CNA1020's. The
odd thing is, if we try to do it on the onboard 1Gbe Broadcom cards, it works fine.
This happens on both clustered and non-clustered hosts as well. All VMM components are the latest versions with the latest updates.
Thanks!

SCVMM 2012R2 - change port profiles and logical Switches

Dear all,
we are runnings a few clusters with Hyper-V 2012R2, managed by SCVMM 2012R2.
I have configurad a Logical switch "Cluster-Default" with the necessary Logical networks, Port Pofiles etc., everything works fine.
Now I have to make an additional network available to some of our VMs that is currently not configured in the Switch and the Uplink Port profile.
Can I add Logical and VM Networks to a port profile that is "in use"?
If Yes, how will these changes be applied to the hosts that are using the switches?
(I have searched through technet and have found a lot about creating switches and profiles, but not about changing them)
If No - how can I proceed?
best regards
Markus

Yes, Network Sites can be added to Uplink Port Profiles that are in use. The VM Networks for the associated Logical Networks will then be available for use by vNics connected to the Logical Switch using the updated Uplink Port Profile.

Transport zones associated with nonexistent logical switches

Running NSX 6.1.2.
Somehow (unknown root cause), VXLAN configuration got into an error state and I had to reconfigure it. To do that, I had to remove all logical switches from the single cluster and pretty much clean everything out to clear all the dependencies. (Test environment, so not a disaster.)
But now I have two transport zones that cannot be deleted because NSX reports they are still associated to nonexistent logical switches.
The UI is consistent with API results (below): summary view for the TZ shows 1 or 2 logical switches, but the detail (related objects view) list is empty for the TZ.

Hello Ganu,
When you create a Logical Path & assign it to a physical app server path it does ask you to save the entry in a Workbench request.
I think you can zero-in on the correct TR by checking in the table E071 (not E070 as you have done).
In SE16 you can search for the TR using the following selection criteria:
PGMID = 'R3TR'
OBJECT = 'CDAT'
OBJ_NAME = 'FILENAME'
OBJFUNC = 'K'
@Other posters : Did you really try it out before giving your (incorrect) responses ?

Logical switch creation error

Hello!
I tried to create a logical switch and got this error:
It's rather strange for me because I set up the bandwidth setting only once (while creating a virtual network adapter port profile) and I even don't know what does mean
"...bandwidth settings of logical switch" - I haven't seen such setting in a virtual switch properties... ???
Thank you in advance,

Two logical switches within one Catalyst

Hello,
I have purchased two catalyst 3560 switches (with 24 interfaces) on Ebay to prepare for ccnp switch exam. It would be great if I have 4 switches. Is it any possibillity to create two logical switches from one? I mean, not by assigning interfaces to different vlans?

No, it is not possible in Catalyst switches. It is possible in Nexus 7k, but it is another platform at all.
