Can a virtual machine created on one server run on any other server?

Hello Community
    If you have 7 Servers (named "Server1" ... "Server7") all running WS2012 R2 server Standard Edition,
which you get to create 2 Virtual Machines (using Hyper-V) at no extra cost.
    The question is:
        Knowing that each server has its own IP address and may even be on a different subnet(s)
or the same subnet, if you create 2 virtual machines on (for example) "Server3" will those virtual
machines be able to run on any of the other 6 servers?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Unless this is some trick question then yes you can.

Virtual Machine - creating

First of all let me say Hi :-)
I was wondering if you guys could provide insight on the status of a virtual machine. I am importing an Oracle VM Template and the status seems to hang in 'Creating' and it's been several hours already. How long should I expect for these template-based vm's to create? What can be the cause of a vm not flipping over to 'Powered off'?
Are there any log files I can check for feedback?
Thanks for any input,
Honza
Edit:
I should add I am using the VM Manager for this.
Which actually brings up another question, how are virtual machines created via Manager related with those created directly on the server? If I create a machine with 'xm create' will it be available through the VM Manager?

This error message could mean that the storage repository isn't configured correctly. Are you able to access the vm.cfg file from every server in the pool?

How can you move the objects from one server to another?

how can you move the objects from one server to another?

Hi,
Collecting objects for Transporting
1. rsa1->transport connection
2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
5. after objects collection finished, create request
6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
Releasing Transport Request
Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
Step 2: Click on Import queue button
Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
Step 4: Click on refresh button
Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

Hyper-V - 'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'

Hi all,
Having a bit of a nightmare with Hyper-V on my Windows 8 Pro laptop - Whenever I create a new VM and try to start it I receive the following error;
'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'
I sometimes also receive an error saying something along the lines of 'Unable to change virtual machine state'
I have done a lot of searching a seen two common answers - The first is to try removing the Hyper-V role and re-adding it - I have tried this several times to no avail. (Intel VT and all virtualisation capabilities are enabled in BIOS). The second issue
it would seem
some people have had relates to editing the VMX configuration file and adding the line
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" - I thought VMX files were only present in VMware Virtual Machines...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
James

The hypervisor event log message is generated only at boot - so this would be expected. Also vmbus should not be running on the host (I was looking at a VM yesterday)... This error message is generated only when the vid is determined not to be
running or cannot communicate with the hypervisor.
I have seen this due to anti-virus software in the past or due to driver verifier being configured. Since it looks like you checked driver verifier already do you have anti-virus software installed? If so have you followed the best practices
and exempted the Hyper-v services?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283088(WS.10).aspx
To resolve this problem, configure the real-time scanning component within your antivirus software to exclude the following directories and files:
Default virtual machine configuration directory (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V)
Custom virtual machine configuration directories
Default virtual hard disk drive directory (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks)
Custom virtual hard disk drive directories
Custom replication data directories, if you are using Hyper-V Replica
Snapshot directories
Vmms.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)
Vmwp.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)

EWS Managed API - 1. BindToItems returns ErrorAccessDenied error, 2. appointments created in one mailbox show up in others

Hi,
I know there are other questions about ErrorAccessDenied but they are not exactly describing my situation and all are pretty much old and mostly not answered so forgive me for creating my own.
Also, wall of text coming so please bear with me.
We have an application that synchronizes Exchange items into our internal systems. Items created on Exchange are stored in that system and vice versa of course with a lot of business logic and rules, etc. Application uses EWS Managed API and impersonation
to access users mailboxes. Everything works fine but now we have this one customer that has a lot of strange things going on with main 2 problems mentioned in subject.
1. To ensure both sides (Exchange and our system) are in sync we have a functionality that allows users to decide that items no longer existing on Exchange should be removed also from system database. Since in our record we store id of original Exchange
item internal system simply sends us list of those ids to confirm items still exist. What application does is a BindToItems method call with BasePropertySet.IdOnly as requested property and depending on server response we notify internal system about state
of items. There is some semi complex logic behind what exactly is done on system side but in general NoError and item returned means item exists, ErrorItemNotFound means item doesn't exist.
For this one customer suddenly we started to receive ErrorAccessDenied and ErrorBatchProcessingStopped error codes which is very strange because seconds earlier there were events read from PullSubscribtion, items read from server, items created on server
and bunch of other stuff going on which basically makes me sure that impersonation is working. For some reason during execution of this particular code ErrorAccesDenied is returned and it messes up whole BindToItems call.
But what is really strange is that for first id in list of ids we get NoError and correct item returned, for second id we get ErrorAccessDenied, and rest of responses is ErrorBatchProcessingStopped. So is it really about credentials or there is some
completely different reason AccessDenied is retuned? According to customer those items exist in user mailbox for whom those errors are showing up. It doesn't happen for all users, only for some - who have exactly the same configuration of mailboxes as rest
(according to customer).
2. For same customer another problem started to occur since 1st of January, at least that is a date when they noticed it for the first time. Again, it happens for some users and there is no scenario that would guarantee to reproduce it.
When new record is created in our system or its data change it has to be created/updated on Exchange. With same impersonation as for problem described above I simply create new item or find existing item using id provided by our system, set item properties
according to whatever was sent and save/update item on Exchange. Simple and it works in multiple installations without problems.
But this customer reports that appointments created for one user show up in other users mailboxes which I find really strange because as far as I know when I impersonate [email protected] everything I do is executed in context of this one user only. So if
I create appointment in his calendar I cannot create same appointment in userB's calendar without explicitly switching impersonation to userB. What is worth mentioning during our sync process we store on Exchange items bunch of custom properties that help
us verify whole process and do various filters, etc. All of those custom properties are visible in outlook in that design form view or whatever it is called. And I have screenshot from user that claims to have one of those "not his" appointments
and basically half of our properties is not there and some have no values while they definitely should have otherwise whole sync would fail and everything is logged as successful.
Sorry for this wall of text but I really have no idea what can causing those strange problems so I tried to describe as much as possible without breaching NDA and such stuff. We added a lot of logging around areas where impersonation is changed, Exchange
items are created/updated, etc. Logs show nothing, of course.
So, for first issue: is it possible that items were moved on Exchange in such way that user still can see them but for EWS API call we get ErrorAccessDenied? I'm not sure where exactly could be such location because if id of an item would change we should
rather get ErrorItemNotFound or even something about id being not properly formatted, right?
For second issue: is it possible that there is something running on Exchange server and does some kind of simplistic mirroring of items between mailboxes? Customer claims there are no such things on server nor user side but can it be something that non-IT
people wouldn't know? Like some kind of script that admins like to run to keep server healthy or something innocent but lethal for our scenarios? Anybody has any hints what we should even ask customer about to get closer to solution of those mysterious problems?

Were you able to figure what was going on with your first problem? we're seeing the exact same issue with one of our customers.

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's

one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
push it again, that the second panel disappears.

You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
TRUE to show or
hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
the VI name.

Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
[1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
[2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
[3] Switch to advanced mode.
[4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
[5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
[6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
[7] Make a note of the IP address
Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
[8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
[9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
Code:
ssh [email protected]
[10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
[11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
Code:
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
[12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
Code:
sh install_netatalk.sh
[13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
[14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.

You may be able to restore individual items, or even an entire backup, as long as you don't happen to hit the damaged area(s). But yes, your only real option is to erase the disk and start over. When you do that, you might want to take the time to have Disk Utility write zeros to the entire disk (see section (b) in the blue box of #1 in Using Disk Utility if you're not sure how to do that) -- if that fails, you know the disk itself is failing and must be replaced. If it succeeds, the drive may be ok.
And how can I prevent this in the future. I know at least I had to have a second back up disk but I never did that.
You probably don't know yet what caused it. If it's the disk failing, obviously you need a new one. Other things that can cause disk corruption are power blips, being disconnected improperly, or your Mac crashing or losing power while the disk is connected, especially during a backup.
For power problems, the best solution is a U.P.S. (battery backup) system. A good surge protector will protect against power spikes, but not dips or sudden loss of power.
I allready tried several times to change ownership with Get Info but I can’t. I don’t see a checkmark and the

Help Requested - Creating Solaris 10 x64 Virtual Machine on an ESX Server

Hi All,
I have been trying to create a Solaris 10 64 bit Virtual Machine on ESX and VMWare server Virtualization Platform.
One of the forum entries said - The installer doesn't really care. At every boot, the processor type will be determined and a 32-bit or a 64-bit kernel will be run (unless you override it)
I hence downloaded the iso from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp and I installed it. When I run uname -a command on the terminal, this is what is displayed -
SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
This indicates that the kernel is 32 bit right?
Please help me create the 64 bit VM.
Thanks in Advance,
Raj.

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.

Excuse me ! Can a virtual machine run on the more physical servers ?

If a physical server has two CPUs , I have two physical servers for OracleVM group.
Can Oracle VM create a virtual machine which have 4 CPUs ?
This is a kind of HPC (High Performance Computing ) .
Is it possible ?
Thank you !!!!!!!

Unless this is some trick question then yes you can.

Do i need another Virtual machine rather than sharepoint server to install workflow manager ?

Hi ,
I have installed sharepoint 2013 on a single server with a built-in-database. And i have installed OWA in another virtual machine. Now i am trying to create a workflow. I have downloaded and installed sharepoint designer and workflow
manager in the sharepoint 2013 itself. Do i need to install workflow manager in another server and make it to communicate with sharepoint server ? And how to email-id in workflow when i tried in sharepoint designer we have select the user. How to allocate
e-mail id for users ?

Creating new VM is choice of your architecture. Workflow Manager only requires below.
Workflow Manager 1.0. Email ID will be automatically picked from the participants from AD.
.NET Framework 4 Platform Update 3 or .NET Framework 4.5
Service Bus 1.0
Workflow Client 1.0
PowerShell 3.0
The following additional requirements must be met before you can run Configuration Wizard to configure Workflow:
Instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server Express 2008 R2 SP1, or SQL Server 2012.
TCP/IP connections or named pipes must be configured in SQL Server.
Windows Firewall must be enabled.
Ports 12290 and 12291 must be available.

Not able to access virtual machine applications in remote server.

Hi All,
I am using Oracle Linux server 5.6 - 64 bit and installed all IAM 11gr2 stack and Oracle data base. I am not able to access the any Identity Management applications in remote servers (able to access in local virtual machine) but i can able to access Database Enterprise Manager application which is running in the same machine. If any one can help me on how to fix the issue really appreciate your help.
Thanks

It should work with adapter in bridged mode and firewall down. (you should however check and confirm this is the case)
A reason for why local client connections to the server s/w works, and remote ones not, can be due to IP/port binding. If the server binds its listening port on an IP (such as localhost) that is not accessible to remote clients, those clients will not be able to connect.
Have a look at what IP address(es) the listening port(s) are on: netstat -l -t -p
You should see a *:7001 entry for the relevant server process - meaning that it used INADDR_ANY when it did the port bind (binds port to all existing and future IP addresses of that platform).
If not, it means the port bind was done to a single specific IP address - and that the clients need to be able to route and connect to that specific IP in order to get a connection with the server process.

Can a virtual machine created on one server run on any other server?
