Cluster Live Storage Migration completes without deleting the source virtual hard disk VHDX

Testing HV setup in a cluster of two nodes with shared FC storage.  Storage is CSV on both nodes.  Storage migration of a VM from C:\ClusterStorage\A to C:\ClusterStorage\B completes without any problem.  Upon completion, the source VHDX
are still left at C:\ClusterStorage\A.  The source files can be deleted manually.  All is done through VMM "Migrate Storage" option.  Why the storage migration does not delete the source files upon job completion?  Thanks!

I have noticed this happens when the folders are "pre-staged". If I create a folder and then storage migrate all of the files into it then it will not delete from it. If I just put the files in the root of the CSV then it seems to work. I am
looking into the permissions of the system and seeing what changes on a folder when it is created by a user and not the system. This only appears to happen when I am doing some cleanup because of duplicate machine name subfolders recently that a tech created.
If you match the permissions to a system created VM it should work though.

  • Refresh of BW System without deleting the source system

    Hello experts
    I want to know, is it possible to refresh BW system without deleting the source system.
    That means I just do the renaming via BDLS and reconnect.
    If I do so, do I have a post refresh activities.
    According to OSS note 886102  and 184447, there are 3 scenarios:
    Scenario A: You want to copy the entire system infrastructure connected by the BW source system connections (that means the entire system group).
    Scenario B: You want to copy a single BW system of the group, the sourcesystem is not copied.
    Scenario C: You want to replace a single sourcesystem of a BW-system with another system using a database or client copy (Example: Refresh of the OLTP consolidation system by a copy of the OLTP production system). The BW system is not copied
    Assuming I use Scenario A, can I refresh BW system without deleting the source system.

  • The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

    Hi everyone,
    I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
    online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
    install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
    "the storage
    where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
    didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
    hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi MrDebugging,
    >>
    When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
    but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
    By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
    Windows 8.1
    According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
    The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
    Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
    Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
    All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
    If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .

  • SCVMM 2012 RC - Unable to remove a VHD in the library because it has a dependency (Virtual Hard Disk deployment configuration)

    When attempting to delete a VHD in the library, I am getting the below error message. Any thoughts on where I might look for the dependency "Virtual Hard Disk deployment configuration"?
    Exact error message:
    The library object (os_disk) cannot be removed because following objects are dependent on it:
    Virtual Hard Disk deployment configuration
    Please ensure that no objects are dependent on this library object and try the operation again.
    ID: 848

    On the final version (tested in 2012 SP1)
    Suggest this instead of hacking around in the database:
    You will receive a message that objects are dependent on the library object. Note the name that is listed after "VM Template"
    Go to powershell in scvmm
    Run:
    remove-scvmtemplate -vmtemplate "NAME_YOU_RECORDED_FROM_ERROR"
    Then, you can delete the template from SCVMM,

  • Creating a Master virtual hard disk and using the same for all other VM's

    Hi,
    We would like to create a master virtual hard disk and use the same for all other VM's. Can we do that ?
    my requirements :
    1) create 10 VM's
    2) first create a master virtual hard disk with win OS and use the same to create the 10 VM's.
    3) After creating the VM's change the HDD size.
                  -- if i have created master virtual disk with 500GB , and use the same for creating a virtual machine. can we change the HDD size to 1TB ?
    After creating the VM's ,i will change the system names and activate the windows accordingly.
    Will there be any implications ,if we can/will do like this.
    Thanks.

  • Help - The chain of virtual hard disks is corrupted

    I took a snapshot of a VHD that I tried to expand to 40GB. After expanding I tried to restart the VM but got the error that "The Chain of virtual hard disks is corrupted".
    Apparently because I expanded the Parent VHD it threw up this error ( i assume because the snapshot differed in size?)
    This led me to Vhdtool which I ran:  vhdtool.exe /repair parentvhdfile.vhd snapshotvhdfile.vhd /quiet
    This appeared to have run okay. However when I went to restart the VM again I got the error:
    Servername Failed to start
    Microsoft emulated IDE controller failed to power on with error - the chain of virtual hard disks is corrupted. There is a mismatch in the virtual sizes of the parent virtual hard disk and differencing disk.
    Failed to open virtual disks. The size of the vurtua;l disk is not valid.
    etc...
    I notice that my parent VHD = 40GB in size, whilst the Snapshot (avhd) file = 109K
    I think I need your help, I don't know what to do!!

    If you made changes to the parent drive, your chain will be corrupted.  Changes to the parent disk invalidate all the child disk.
    Do you have a backup of the original parent disk?

  • SCVMM 2012 R2 RU3 - Live storage migration failing with error 12711 if cluster resource name is not in form of "SCVMM vmname "

    At the end of live storage migration in SCVMM 2012 R2 RU3 getting error:
    Error (12711)
    VMM cannot complete the WMI operation on the server (hypervhost1.domain.local) because of an error: [MSCluster_Resource.Name="SCVMM test-vm"] The cluster resource could not be found.
    The cluster resource could not be found (0x138F)
    Recommended Action
    Resolve the issue and then try the operation again.
    Storage migration actually succeeds and after Repair/Ignore and Refresh, the VM shows up ok in VMM, with the VHD in new location.
    If VM is offline, storage migration always succeeds. Live (non-storage) migration always succeeds.
    I noticed in the error message that it searches for cluster resource name "SCVMM test-vm" and for some VMs I've got different cluster resource names.
    Like for this VM cluster resource names are:
    Virtual Machine test-vm
    Virtual Machine Configuration test-vm
    Furthermore, those resource names are showing up correctly in [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_WLC_VMInstance] table, columns VMResource and VMConfigResource.
    Anyone knows why SCVMM keeps searching for "SCVMM test-vm" and how to fix this without recreating cluster resources?

    Ok, you have the same problem and same configuration that this post:

  • How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the whole account

    How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the complete account. Is it possible?

    Your question does not make much sense. iCloud syncs Safari's bookmarks between devices. If you delete a web site's bookmark from one device it will be removed from all other devices setup to sync to your iCloud account. If this is a bookmark to other websites you have an account with such as Amazon or other sites you are only removing the bookmark to that site, you would have to log into that website to remove thae account related to that site.

  • How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

    I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

    You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
    You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
    There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

  • How do i change the apple id in icloud without deleting the old one?

    i was given a second hand iphone 4 still logged into the previous owners apple id account. I changed the apple id connected to the itunes and app store to mine but i cant seem to be able to change the one connected to the icloud without deleting the previous owners account which i do not want to do becasue that apple id is still in use. how do i change the id without actually deleting the one currently logged in?

    Welcome to the Apple community wensecles.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • I have two apple accounts on one computer. How do i delete one account without deleting the other?

    I have two questions!!   
    I need to know how to delete one account without deleting the other account on the computer?
    I am deleting the account because i have a new laptop that now has the my account... will deleting the account on one computer affect the account on the other laptop?

    What do you mean by deleting the account? One can't delete an Apple ID/iTunes account. One just stops using it.
    Since yo can only have five computer authorized for one iTunes account you might want to deauthorize the computer for that account

  • Can you delete an E-mail account without deleting the associated E-mails

    I was going to delete my Mindspring account from the mac mail, but it says that all the mail will also be deleted, or at least, that is how I interpet what is stated.   Soooo, is there a way delete my mindspring account without deleting the mail.  I am trying to take mindspring off as an option when sending E-mail

    In Mail 4.6 (10.6) I'm not seeing only seeing Import Mailbox, no export. But Mail can be archived
    Note: I'm not getting the Archive option with Cmd, but I do get it with a right-click.
    Archiving mailboxes
    You can archive (create a backup copy) of a mailbox so you can retrieve messages if needed.
    To archive a mailbox:
    Select one or more mailboxes to archive.
    To select mailboxes that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list, hold down Shift as you click the first and last mailbox; to select mailboxes that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click each mailbox.
    Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.
    Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives, and then click Choose.
    Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you’ve already archived a mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to the filename to create a new version of it.
    If you need to recover messages, you can import an archived .mbox file as “Mail for Mac OS X.”
    Importing mailboxes
    If you set up Time Machine to back up files, you can use it to restore previous versions of a mailbox or a message. Time Machine deletes older backups to make room for new ones as the backup disk fills up, so older backups of Mail might be deleted.

  • How to delete aggreagetd data in a cube without deleting the Aggregates?

    Hi Experts,
    How to delete aggreagetd data in a cube without deleting the Aggregates?
    Regards
    Alok Kashyap

    Hi,
    You can deactivate the aggregate. The data will be deleted but structure will remain.
    If you switch off the aggregates it wont be identified by the OLAP processor. report will fetch the data directly from the cube. Switching off the aggreagte won't delete any data,but temporarly the aggregate will not be availbale as if it is not built on the info cube. No reporting is not possible on swtiched off aggregates. The definition of the aggregate is not deleted.
    You can temporarily switch off an aggregate to check if you need to use it. An aggregate that is switched off is not used when a query is executed.This aggregate will be having data from the previous load's. If the aggregate is switched off means it wont be available for reporting but data can be rolled up into it.
    If u deactivate the aggregates the data will be deleted from the aggregates and the aggregate structure will remain the same.
    The system deletes all the data and database tables of an aggregate. The definition of the aggregate is not deleted.
    Later when you need those aggregate once again you have to create it from scratch.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • How to delete a games record in game center without deleting the app?

    i want to delete one of my games record on game center without deleting the game app itself
    what should i do?

    Hi,
    Sounds like what you want to do is evict the item from the cache, rather than remove it.  Evicting the item is effectively saying the entry in the cache is out of date, and Coherence should retrieve it from the database should a new request for the key come in.
    You can set up eviction either through config, (to evict after a period of time or when the cache reaches a certain size), or pragmatically using an entry processor, (which calls remove(true) on the entry passed to it. The 'true' means evict rather than delete).
    Hope this helps,
    Andy
