Cannot add VM to Cluster

We have have Hyper-V 2012 Cluster with 2 Nodes that runs about 10 VMs, mostly Server 2008 R2 with a few 2012. Cluster storage is and iSCSI SAN with DSS7 from Open-e.
I have a VM that I cannot add to the Cluster.  Its Server 2012 that runs Exchange 2013 with about 50 mailboxes.   When I go to the Failover Cluster Manager the VM does not show up.  I have had no problems adding any other VMs. 
I am trying to determine why I cannot add this VM to the Cluster.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,
As you mentioned that :"Shows up and runs normally in Hyper-V Manager.  Does not show up in Failover Cluster Manager as candidate for addition to the cluster."
Did you try to open
Failover Cluster Manager and run the
High Availability Wizard, choosing the
Virtual Machine Role  to "add " the VM to cluster ?

  • Cannot add multiple members of a failover cluster to a DFSR replication group

    Server 2012 RTM. I have two physical servers, in two separate data centers 35 miles apart, with a GbE link over metro fibre between them. Both have a large (10TB+) local RAID storage arrays, but given the physical separation there is no physical shared storage.
    The hosts need to be in a Windows failover cluster (WSFC), so that I can run high-availability VMs and SQL Availability Groups across these two hosts for HA and DR. VM and SQL app data storage is using a SOFS (scale out file server) network share on separate
    servers.
    I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate multi-TB user data file folders between the two local storage arrays on these two hosts for HA and DR. But when I try to add the second server to a DFSR replication group, I get the error:
    The specified member is part of a failover cluster that is already a member of the replication group. You cannot add multiple members for the same cluster to a replication group.
    I'm not clear why this has to be a restriction. I need to be able to replicate files somehow for HA & DR of the 10TB+ of file storage. I can't use a clustered file server for file storage, as I don't have any shared storage on these two servers. Likewise
    I can't run a HA single DFSR target for the same reason (no shared storage) - and in any case, this doesn't solve the problem of replicating files between the two hosts for HA & DR. DFSR is the solution for replicating files storage across servers with
    non-shared storage.
    Why would there be a restriction against using DFSR between multiple hosts in a cluster, so long as you are not trying to replicate folders in a shared storage target accessible to both hosts (which would obviously be a problem)? So long as you are not replicating
    folders in c:\ClusterStorage, there should be no conflict. 
    Is there a workaround or alternative solution?

    Yes, I read that series. But it doesn't address the issue. The article is about making a DFSR target highly available. That won't help me here.
    I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate files between two different servers, with those servers being in a WSFC for the purpose of providing other clustered services (Hyper-V, SQL availability groups, etc.). DFSR should not interfere with this, but it
    is being blocked between nodes in the same WSFC for a reason that is not clear to me.
    This is a valid use case and I can't see an alternative solution in the case where you only have two physical servers. Windows needs to be able to provide HA, DR, and replication of everything - VMs, SQL, and file folders. But it seems that this artificial
    barrier is causing us to need to choose either clustered services or DFSR between nodes. But I can't see any rationale to block DFSR between cluster nodes - especially those without shared storage.
    Perhaps this blanket block should be changed to a more selective block at the DFSR folder level, not the node level.

  • Cannot add instance to an empty cluster

    Hi,
    I have a win2k ias9021 entreprise install with infrastructure on machineA. The install created 2 standalone instances.
    I then created a win2k ias903 core (OHS, OC4J and webcache) install on machineB. I then added this 903 instance to the ias9021 infrastructure on the machineA.
    I created an empty clusterA on the machineA. When I try to add the 903 instance to clusterA, I got the error message:
    "Instance "iasdev.machineB" cannot be added to cluster "clusterA". Instances containing non-clusterable components cannot be added to any cluster. The joining instance must have the same components configured as the cluster. Also, instances containing non-distributable applications cannot be added to an empty cluster."
    How can I determine the offending non-clusterable elements so I can remove them?
    A log file some where?
    I tried to add the other 2 instances on machineA but got the exact error message.
    I read all the clustering doc, white papers and searched thru' oracle ias forums... ias9x is such a beast...
    Thanks in advance.
    Ken

    You can use the following:
    Create the metaset:
    metaset -s <metaset name> -a -h <node host name>
    Create the mediator:
    metaset -s <metaset name> -a -m <nodename>
    Add the disk (LUN) that you will use for the metaset:
    metaset -s <metaset name> �a <did device, without slice, it should something as /dev/did/dsk/d4>
    Create the metadevice in the metaset:
    /usr/sbin/metainit -s <metaset name> <meta device name, it could be d100> 1 1 <the did device, it should use the slice, for e, /dev/did/dsk/d4s0>

  • Cannot add server to pool: OVMAPI_4004E, but hostname set to FQDN

    It's very simillar problem like thread "Cannot Add Server to Pool: OVMAPI_4010E Attempt to send command: dispatch..", but setting
    hostname with FQDN on Ora VM Manager and Ora VM Server, repairing all configuration files (using grep -R ...) and reboot OVM
    server and OVMM didn't brought any effect...
    Environment:
    Oracle VM Server version 3.2.2

    Oracle VM Manager:
    Version: 3.2.2.520
    Build: 20130218_520
    Description:
    I have discovered and setup an OVM Server. Then I tried to create a new pool "ikr-pool". When I tried to attach discovered server ("srv01-xx.cssz.cz"),
    I got error attached bellow. After this actions svr01-xx stays incorrectly as "member of pool" in /etc/ovs-agent/db/server database, so I need on VM server
    to stop ovs-agent, remove file /etc/ovs-agent/db/server, start ovs-agent again, and then re-take ownership on VM server again. Then srv01-xx stays

    Solved. Problem was the same like in thread "I/O error while communicating with HTTP server: Connection timed out" - it wasn't accessible IP connection between Ora VM Manager and Ora VM server IP alias for server pool. But there was very confusing message in errorlog: "dispatch https://?uname?:[email protected]:8899/api/3 set_pool_member_ip_list [10.20.11.11], Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: I/O error while communicating with HTTP server: Connection timed out [Thu Mar 28 14:36:30 CET 2013]". Noticed IP address was IP address for VM server, not for VM pool, which makes me quite angry.

  • Printer communication error and cannot add a new printer

    I was happily using my Epson Artisan 810 printer this morning, connected wirelessly to my iMac.  All of a sudden I cannot print, get "Communication Error".  Checked Epson's website, no luck there.  Re-checked my wireless settings on the printer itself and re-confirmed them, it will print test pages from the printer, but still not communicating with the iMac.  I thought that removing the printer and then adding it back in might help, but now I cannot add any printer at all.
    I resorted to my MacBook Pro, and now have the same problem with this as well.
    Any ideas please?  What else can I check.  My internet and so on are fine.  The printer itself shows the wireless icon and says the reception is excellent on the printout it produced.
    Thanks so much!
    L.

    It would be unusual for only Bonjour to stop working in the printer. The more likely is that the printer is set to a different network subnet to that for your Mac or, as you mentioned, something like a firewall is blocking it.
    The IP addressing is the most common cause. If there is a process to view or print the network settings for the Epson, then this will show what IP address range it has, which should be the same as your Mac. With the IP address, there will be four sets of numbers. For a typical home network, the first three sets are known as the IP subnet, while the last set is the network address. For example, a device with an IP address of 10.0.1.5, has an IP subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 5. For your Mac to 'see' the printer, both devices would need the same IP subnet, while having a different network address. So if you can check what IP address the Epson has, you may find it is using a different IP subnet to your Mac.

  • Cannot add shared Contacts in Open Directory from a client

    Hello all
    I need to transfer vCards from a local Address book to the Server and I need them to be shown in each client's Address book.
    *Problem 1:* I cannot add or edit shared contact using the Directory app. from a client to a 10.5.3 Server. Only the Directory Admin credentials are valid. The client 10.5.5 is bound OK. The app is configured to use password, not Kerberos, and the Server is "responding normally" in the Directory Utility application.
    I can even login as a mobile user with Network Home. Same there.

    This turned out to be a reverse DNS configuration problem. Apple support suggested using a local ip address instead of my public host name. That worked so I looked into the reverse dns configuration. I fooled myself by thinking that if I could reach my host with my.host.com with other services like http, that my DNS was set up correctly. My reverse DNS originally resolved to my.host.com when it should have been something more like 123-456-789-103.cos.pcisys.net. Now I can reach my host from anywhere with the Directory application.

    You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

  • Updated itunes to 10.4.1.10 on Windows XP. Now cannot add files or album covers. please help

    Installed latest version of itunes when prompted yesterday. Using hp compaq laptop running Windows XP. Now cannot add files to library or add albulm covers. Tried to play new mp3s from external drive, that I was trying to add. got message saying "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error7 (windows error 1455)"
    Have also had a couple of  "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" forced shutdowns. Cannot find files to reinstall and itunes is telling me I am using the current version.
    Infuriating!!! Can you help me please?

    Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
    Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Cannot add networked Brother MFC-7820N after upgrading to Leopard

    Hi,
    I did a clean install of Leopard on a new drive I installed on my Macbook. Then I migrated my account from an old drive which was running the latest version of Tiger.
    Leopard is running fine, except that I cannot add my networked printer (Brother MFC-7820N). According to Brother, the printer drivers come with the Leopard CD. In the /Library/Printers/Brother directory there sub-directories for Brother LUT, Filter, Icons, Profiles, Utilities. So I think the drivers are present.
    In the Print & Fax system preference, I click to add a printer and nothing shows up under "Default". According to Brother's instructions, the printer should show up. Is the MFC-7820N Bonjour capable?
    Is there something else I need to do? I am not running control center like I did under Tiger.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Network is a wireless network with the printer attached to a netgear wireless router.

    Okay, I found the answer to the problem. It is a Brother configuration, not a Leopard one. Needed to setup Bonjour on the printer by configuring the mDNS properly.
    From a browser, go to your printer using the ip address. Click on Network configuration link. Default user/password is: admin/access. Find the "mDNS" link, click on it. Then configure with a name such as BrotherMFC and select enable. Once this is setup, then clicking on "+" in the print and fax system preference works.

    I Cannot Add Buddies in iChat 4 and 5
    Many people are reporting that they cannot add Buddies to either iChat 4 or iChat 5.
    The Symptoms are that the Buddy appears in the Buddy List and then does the "Brightening/Fading" cycle but fails to be anywhere in the list including Off Line Buddies.
    To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
    Then go to the View Menu and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
    (there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
    There can be many causes and I will attempt to deal with then in the order that they are most likely.
    A) The Contact is already in the Address Book.
    When Adding a Buddy via the use of the + Sign at the Bottom of the Buddy List (Then Add Buddy) or invoking it from the Buddies menu a drop down appears to slide down out of the Buddy List Header area
    In this slide out/drop down, you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
    iChat checks the Address Book and if the First Name, Last Name items do not match any contact in the Address Book already then the Buddy will be added to the Buddy list.
    As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List if the name exists already.
    In iChat 3 and earlier there was an Error Message that popped up saying there was Feedbag Error
    See here for More
    Note: AIM Protocols call Lists "Feedbags". Contents (Buddies) are "Food" and of course Food is kept in Feedbags.
    The Address Book is one Feedbag in this case and the Screen Name (only) Buddy List held on the AIM Server is the other.
    The Software puts the two together for Display purposes
    The Fix.
    Either:
    1) Add them as Screen Name only
    2) Use the Arrow head at the end of the Last Name line to open the Address Book and pick the Contact.
    3) Open the Address Book and Edit their Card to Add the Screen Name, then drag them from the Name column to the iChat Buddy List.
    4) During any type of Chat use the item in the Buddies Menu to Add the person (it will display their Screen Name in Dark text if not in the Buddy List - Then item 2 can also be used)
    B) Parental Controls
    There are similar Symptoms if the Mac User Account is subject to Parental Controls.
    If the Mac User Account on the computer is not an Admin account it is a Standard or Managed one
    A Managed one has Parental Controls Enabled.
    There is a Tab for Mail and iChat.
    If it is turned on for iChat then all buddies are Blocked initially (in iChat 4 Jabber and Bonjour Buddy List cannot be used.)
    Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On or Off line
    The Fix.
    In this case if you are the Managed account you have to get the Admin account to add the Buddy to the Buddy allowed list in Parental Controls.
    Exception
    There is a very large exception.
    Due to the fact that the way Parental Controls blocks names until they appear in the Allow List there can be a problem if testing the same iChat Details in a Test Account.
    Lets say you are the Admin User on the Mac.
    You set up a second Mac User Account called Test.
    In this you set up iChat with the same details (Screen name) you use in your Main Mac User Account.
    You then test Parental Controls by turning it On and setting the iChat Limit option.
    Then you add to the allow List one or two AIM valid names.
    You check iChat and find they are the only Buddies that show up.
    It works, so you return to your main Mac User Account and discover that most of your Buddies are missing.
    On checking the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Security Tab you find the Allow Specific People option is Enabled and the list only includes those Buddies you set in Parental Controls.
    Choosing allow All does not seem to bring back the Buddies even if you Log out of the Test Mac User Account.
    The Fix Here
    Is to Disable all the Parental Control Settings again (Remove names from any list) before Logging out of the Test Mac User Account.
    The cause is partly to do with the Setting in iChat > Preferences > General Section that reads "When I quit iChat, Set the Status to Off Line" which is not the default - leaving a partial login for Off Line Messaging. As a consequence your Buddy List is constantly being told to block certain Screen Names.
    A Variation on this is if you have Two Log-ins of your Screen Name from either different apps or computers.
    Altering the Buddy List in one effects the other login. The computer or app that was logged in first take precedence.
    C) Adding Buddies as the wrong type (In Buddy List - But always Off Line)
    This applies more to iChat 4 than it does to iChat 5
    At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in iChat 4 you have to choose if the Buddy is an AIM, @mac. or MobileMe name in a drop down.
    The software shows the @mac.com or @me.com endings in grey in the Screen Name text field and adds this for you.
    This can lead to Buddies being added as the wrong type as in ralphjohnsr added as [email protected] etc.
    It can also lead to people being added with 2 @ symbols in the Screen Name ([email protected]@mac.com) and iChat not always telling you this is not allowed.
    In both iChat 4 and 5, as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses, we have to also consider whether AIM names have been added to a Jabber List or Jabber Names added to AIM valid Lists.
    D) Plain old Typos
    Here I am talking about misreading someone's Screen Name and typing that in (Such as receiving and email with a Screen Name in it and typing the letter O for 0 (zero).)
    And of course, just plain typing mistakes.
    The Fix for C) and D)
    The Buddy in this case will be in the Buddy List but will always be Off line
    Highlight the Buddy with one click.
    Do a Get Info (Apple()/Command(⌘) key and I key together) and their Info card will show up.
    Correct as Required.

    Thanks Ralph,
    Some thoughts.
    To Show Off Line Buddies, highlight the Buddy list to bring to the "front".
    Then go to the {color:red}Show Menu{color} and Enable Show Off Line Buddies.
    (there is also an Option to display these in a separate Group).
    Do you mean under the {color:green}View{color} menu where I see Show Offline Buddies? (both iChat 4.0.8 and 5.0.3)
    A)… In the {color:red}slide out that appears from the top{color} of the Buddy list you get the chance to Add the Screen Name and then the First Name Last Name details of the Buddy.
    I kept looking for a button for the "slide out" at the top of the Buddy list. Found out it's the dialog box that appears when you click "+" (Add a new buddy…) at the bottom of the list. Yes, I can act like a beginner too
    (Slide out to me sounds like a sideways slide out, versus a Pop Up or Pop Down Dialog box).
    As the Address Book does not allow two contacts to have the same name they will not be added to the iChat Buddy List {color:green}if the name already exists.{color}
    The Address Book i one Feedbag in this case
    The Address Book {color:green}is{color} one Feedbag in this case
    B) Adding AIM valid Screen Names (AIM, Those with either @mac.com or @me.com endings) to the allow List Unblocks those Buddies and they will show in the Buddy List as On {color:red}of{color} Off line
    …     as On {color:green}or{color} Off line
    *The Fix.
    Exception*
    {color:red}The{color} you add to the allow {color:red}List{color} one or two AIM valid names.
    {color:green}Then{color} you add to the allow one or two AIM valid names.
    C)
    At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:red}ichat{color} 4
    At the Add Buddy Screen/Slide in {color:green}iChat 4{color}
    In both iChat 4 and 5 as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses we have to also consider
    In both iChat 4 and 5 as Jabber IDs/Screen Names also look like Email Addresses{color:green}. We{color} have to also consider

  • Cannot Add Funds PayPal Credit Card

    Sony. Is a absolute joke. This issue has been going on for FOUR YEARS for some users. And now. Last month. I brought like 3 games. Then.  All of a sudden. Cannot add funds using PayPal. Says credit card invalid. Ah. Yeah right. i have used paypal all this year. But now mysteriously. It doesnt work. I spent the past month a good $1,000 on ebay. With paypal. But now magically sony doesnt take my paypal. So i use credit card. Says card not valid. This is through the webisite on computer. I go to PS4. I try it. Says address not valid or something. Seriously. So for what. Its June. So for six months. I have used PayPal no problem. Now magically sony decides to say not valid. My credit card doesnt expire until 2016. Thats what. 2016. My address is correct. Some users say sony changed things. So you have to put your address exactly like your statement. Dont know if this is true or not But why has it worked for six months. Not now. I love playstation. I have all systems. But I love playstation the best. But guess what. I ended up going onto my xbox one. And buying, pre ordering $500 worth of games. Guess what. My paypal worked straight away. Ironic dont you think. Me and other gamers options is to only buy PSN cards. But ironically. You can only have $150 in your wallet at once. Why. Thats just dumb. Considering games are $100. I was all cashed up this month. As I got some money from my grandfather who past. I was ready to put $1,000 in my wallet. But guess what. Limit to $150. So obviously sony doesnt want our money. But makeing us jump through hoops. This is without a doubt the most unproffesional. Annoying. Frustrating thing ever. And it keeps saying. Address not valid for paypal. You serious. I spent $1,000 on ebay. But now you say my address is wrong. So I guess all these parcels I have been getting from ebay, is wrong address, even though I am getting every single parcel. You know what sony. I am done with you. I dont care if the main reason I turned to sony is the xbox one keeps crashing to dashboard. I dont care if ps4, has better grahpics, controller. you know what. I am going to sell my ps4 on ebay for $1. And be done with sony. I am done with it. And going back to xbox one. Xbox one may have its faults. But at least I can use paypal and a credit card. So what. I am limited to buying $50 PSN cards from ebgames. Thats so much fun. So I want to buy 5 games. So lets see. I have to buy what. Games are $100 in australia. So I have to buy 20 PSN cards. Oh. What fun. Scratching all those cards, putting in all the codes. A hour later. Then finally i can buy games. Which takes me what. A minute to do on xbox one. As paypal, credit card works on xbox one. You think I am just ranting. Go google search. This has been a issue for four years. I am done with sony. This is a joke. Sony is the most unproffesional company ever. You fanboys may live in denial. But its the truth. And dont tell me to check cards, information. What part are you missing. For past six months. Same paypal, same card, worked perfectly. Nothing has changed. The only thing that changes was. I brought three $100 games at once. Now this credit card information invalid crap. You lost so much money out of me this past months sony. I got like $7,000 from my grandfather passing. And guess what. Its now all going to xbox one. How about them apples sony. How about them apples.

    I got mine fixed. I emailed support. Took forever many emails, and eventually they fixed it. Basically they said. Some security thing, they stop funds. So they didnt say outright. But basically from what they said is. They have a limit each day on what you can spend in store. Already the PSN wallet has a limit of $150. Thats all you can add. When my account stopped working. I spend like around $300. As I brought 3 games. But one of those games was say $160, as it was like a special edition thing, so I assume if you either spend over the $150, or max $300. It stops. Which is just wrong.   So say for example. Three new releases where out today. And we all wanted to buy them. But we cannot. What is it. per day. or do I have to buy one game, wait afew hours, then buy another. The support person didnt say any amount, or what exactly it was, but from just what they where saying, it sounds like they have a limit on what you can spend each day, but they werent allowed to say.  I also have a xbox one and Wii U. And its so much easier buy games on Wii U and xbox one systems.  Not to mention the headache with the new hard drive update with the Nyko Data Bank on PS4, i updated, and cannot use rest mode, and cannot play disc games, thanks sony, i upraded to a 4TB hard drive, but now i cannot play discs, or rest mode. Why cant you be just like Wii U and Xbox ONe and use external hard drives. Xbox one lets you use upto 16TB,  SO yeah. I eventually got it fixed. I was going to buy all my multi platform games on ps4, and only exclusives on xbox one, but you know what, from now on, I am buying all my multi platform games on xbox one, and Only buying exclusives on ps4,  Dont get me wrong. I am not a fanboy. And there are things I dont like about xbox one, or wii u. You cannot use a USB headset on them, but you can with PS4, as I use the Kraken USB headset on ps4, But apart from that. Xbox One controller is better, the ps4 is to noisy, and other above reasons,  And not only that. I am in Australia. And out internet, i can download on xbox one, 3GB a hour, which is around the same speed i get on PC Steam, on ps4, i am lucky to downoad 1GB a hour.   

  • Cannot add more than 1 song at a time to iphone

    Hi
    Don't know if anyone else has had this problem but when i try to add songs to my iphone i can only do 1 at a time. If i sync a full album it crashes and says device timed out. it will back up ok and sync if manually manage music is ticked but if automaically again it dies on the second song. I have reinstalled itunes with no luck and my phone will work fine on my wife's laptop when synced to her library. I can re-sync with my library which removes all songs but then cannot add anymore songs unless its 1 at a time :((
    Any ideas??? We both use the latest 8.2 itunes and both run vista both have amd processors and both comps have 2gb ram.
    Thanks

    Cool. The front case ones may not be properly connected to the motherboard then. From personal experience they are kind of hard to connect as the pins are so small and it is easy to connect them incorrectly.

    I am getting this coming up in the error log when I attempt to import an unmanaged solution.
    After searching on google Type 29 refers to a workflow.
    I go into the source system and query the database by the GUID and discover that it is actually a Business Process Flow called 'Phone to Case Process'. 
    I do not have this process in my target system as I deleted it.
    Looks like this is one of the out of the box ones. I don't think we we have changed this one much.
    What does this mean and what should I be looking for??
    Anyway how do I remove this offending process from the unmanaged solution xml file and attempt to re-import it? 
    It doesn't look like I can generate the solution again without the offending workflow/process..

    I managed to resolve this issue after looking at this thread:
    https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/fddff17f-1cca-4d33-a666-60c08ad76b0c/crm-2011-import-failure?forum=crmdevelopment
    Just modify both solution and customizations xml by searching for the guid and removing the root component
