Current version of integration services on Hyper V host and ugrading versions on VM's

Greetings!
I am looking for where the latest version number of integration services is posted, so I may verify what it should be. I am able to query using powershell the vm's on the hosts and get a return of the current version installed. However, I seem to be
unable to find out the current version of IS on the hosts themselves. How do I get this information?

With all current releases of Hyper-V:
When you patch your Hyper-V Server and reboot, the vmguest.iso is generated dynamically to match the release of the Hyper-V Server.
This is historic and was designed to ensure compatibility of the ICs in the VM with the Services of the host.
That said, only Hyper-V 2012 R2 can give you the 'latest' integration components, but they might not function well if VMs are moved to older versions of Hyper-V. That is why 2012 R2 in a VM is 'not supported' on Hyper-V 2008 R2 or 2008 (for example).
In the future Integration Components will be through Windows Update (if your Hyper-V Server is 'Windows 10" or later):

How to Install Integration service from hyper-v host to a virtual machine ?

i have around 100 Virtual Machine distributed on a cluster hyper-v cluster so i need to know how to install the upgraded version of integration service from the hyper-v host to all virtual machines
that has a mismatched version of the integration service using power-shell script ?

See this article:

Hyper V Hosts and Domains

Can I have hyper V hosts connected to one domain then connect a VM to another domain.
I have three Quad port NICs- two will be connected to my DMZ domain and then to accommodate direct access I propose connecting one to my corporate LAN. I will then create the required vswitchs and place my direct access servers on DMZ switch and
the LAN switch for a 2 leg deployment?
Your thoughts please?

Sure, no problem with that. Each OS whether physical host or guest VM can join any domain they can reach.

Changing Hyper-V host and cluster virtual IP addresses to new subnet/VLAN

I have a 2 node Hyper-V 2012 R2 failover cluster, managed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2, and I would like to change the IP addresses of the hosts and the cluster, in order to move them to a new subnet and VLAN. The existing and new subnets
are able to route to each other so all hosts will still be able to communicate throughout the parts of the process where they may be on separate subnets. There is also a dedicated cluster heartbeat network on its own subnet and VLAN that I am not altering
in any way.
The 2 hosts are configured with 4 nics in a team, with dedicated virtual interfaces for each of the following:
-Live Migration
-Cluster Heartbeating
-Host management/general traffic (the cluster virtual IP address is also on the same subnet as these interfaces).
It is the host management/general traffic addresses that I want to change. The interfaces were created and configured with the Add-VMNetworkAdapter, New-NetIPAddres and Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan commands.
Please advise if the following process is correct:
1) Evacuate all the VMs from the first host to be changed and put it in maintenance mode.
2) Use Set-VMNetworkAdapter to change the name of the interface (the current name refers to the VLAN it's on)
3) Use Set-NetIPAddress to change the IP address and gateway of the interface as appropriate
4) Use Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan to set the VLAN ID
5) Take the host out of maintenance mode and move all VMs off the other host
6) Repeat above steps on the other host
I know that I will then need to change the cluster virtual IP address, but I have no idea how to do this or where to look for that setting. Please advise!
Cheers.

VMM PXE PROVIDER WDS INTEGRATION FAILS DURING HYPER-V HOST PXE BOOT Wrong Bootfile

I enabled "Debug" logging for Deployment-Services-Diagnostics and tried to again do a bare metal deployment.
Looking at the information in the event log, none of the files are from the path created when the VMM agent on the WDS machine started communicating with the VMM server. All of the path references are to \Boot\.... NOT \DCMgr\Boot\...
Are there any registry settings or other places I can check to try and figure out what is going wrong?

Hi Sir,
Hope the following article is helpful :

Web service interfaces for monitoring Hosts and instances with SAPHostControl, saphostexec and sapstartsrv

Hi All,
I need to develop a monitoring application for SAP system which will monitor both Host systems and instances.
For this I need to collect Host data as well as instance data. In the below links I could find the SAP netweaver
monitoring agents
Monitoring Hosts with SAPHostControl and saphostexec - Infrastructure of the SAP NetWeaver Management Agents - SAP Libra…

Administration/Monitoring of SAP Components with sapstartsrv - Infrastructure of the SAP NetWeaver Management Agents - S…
These links tell that CCMS agent is replaced by these agents from SAP Netweaver 7.0 Eph 2.
I found below doc which explains "How to use the SAPControl Web Service Interfaces" exposed by "sapstartsrv" to execute instance specific tasks,
But it does not tells any methods/APIs/webservice interfaces specific to Host system or get OS data using "saposcol".
SAP Control WebService
Similar to this, Is there any API/webservice to retrieve the OS and Host related data??.
Also, Is there any other doc for SAPHostControl or saphostexec similar to sapstartsrv ??
Thanks,
Swapnil

Hi Swapnil,
I too wanted this info and came across these.
Take a look at these urls :-
http://localhost:1128/SAPHostControl/?wsdl
http://localhost:1128/SAPOscol/?wsdl
grep saphost /etc/services
saphostctrl 1128/tcp # SAPHostControl over SOAP/HTTP
saphostctrls 1129/tcp # SAPHostControl over SOAP/HTTPS
Hope this helps.

HT1925 "Older version of Apple Software update cannot be removed" and "Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed"

Cannot update iTunes and was told to remove and reinstall. Cannot remove and reinstall usint Control Panel.
Have gotten the above responses.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

It is possible for linux version to use the same icons of windows and mac version in the navigation bar?

Firefox for linux uses the gtk theme icon in navigation bar, instead mac and windows uses other (trasparent) icons . I find more beautiful icons used in mac and win. Is there any way to force firefox to use this type of icons?

Have you checked the themes add ons? You may find a "Windows 7" theme or something similar!

Integration services backward compatibility

Hoping someone will know the answer to this.
Is the version of Integration Services on Hyper-V 2012 R2 backwards compatible with Hyper-V 2012?
The reason I ask is that we are in the process of moving VMs across Hyper-V clusters due to a company buyout, and we've found that networking does not work for guests that have been moved over to the new 2012 R2 cluster until IS is upgraded.
If we could install the 2012 R2 version of IS on the guests while they are still on the 2012 host, it would make moving the machines easier.

They make efforts for backward compatibility, as the OS has them built in and you will most likely run into a case of a VM OS being newer than the hypervisor.
It is the forward compatibility that is not always up to par (as you notice).
The Hyper-V Server generates the vmguest.iso dynamically each time it boots from its own binaries. This ensures that the media on the Hyper-V Server is always at the same patch level of the Hyper-V Server.
This ISO can always be copied off and used on a different Hyper-V Server if you want to upgrade prior to shutdown. (C:\Windows\system32)

What happens when a VM with 2012 Integrations Services migrates to a 2008 R2 Hyper-V server?

I've been going through our Hyper-V environment to make sure our VMs have the latest, greatest Integration Services installed. I found one 2012 running a 2012 version of Integration Services on this 2008 R2 Hyper-V server. What kind of issues can this
cause? Should I uninstall the current version and 'downgrade' them to 2008 R2?
Orange County District Attorney

Hi,
No, you should not. If the operating system is supported on a hyper-v version you can use it. This means if Windows Server 2012 is supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 hosts you can use Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Windows Server
2012 integration services installed as a guest OS.
You can find supported guest OS lists here

Integrations services error 4000 - integration services does not match the expected version

I have a 2 node high availability cluster built on 2012r2 DataCentre. One VM continually fails to backup and gives the event log error
"Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor failed to connect to virtual machine 'QuadPro' because the version does not match the version expected by Hyper-V (Virtual machine ID 094B6B22-BBED-4D0B-8E47-D8D4D0D3F986). Framework version: Negotiated (0.0) -
Expected (3.0); Message version: Negotiated (0.0) - Expected (5.0). To fix this problem, you must upgrade the integration services. To upgrade, connect to the virtual machine and select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk from the Action menu."
When I do the suggested action I get a message stating
"The computer is already running the current version of integration services (version 6.3.9600.16384)".
This VM was built through the failover management console under 2012r2. The VM in question is a 2008r2 standard server running a single database application.
Please advise.

2008 R2 Hyper-V Integrated services error 61658...

Kind of got myself into a bad situation I think. I run a single Windows 2008 R2 Server w/SP1 that hosts 5 VM's that host two Windows Server 2003 SP2 machines and the rest are 2008 R2 Servers w/SP1. On one of the 2003 VM's I was having issues
with the mouse not being captured. I decided to reinstall the integrated services. The reinstall seemed to complete normally, but when it was done the mouse capture still did not work. So I rebooted just to check and still no mouse capture.
So I went into add remove programs and uninstalled it. I rebooted and then noticed the problems that caused. The uninstall made the VM lose the SCSI adapter and the NIC. So after getting a legacy NIC added I was able to be past that issue, but no
VHDs are accessible that were are connected to the SCSI Controller. When I try to install the Integrated Services, it gets part way through the "Updating Storport Driver" step and then throws this message: [ (X) An error
occurred: One of the update processes returned error code 61658.] This machine is our Active Directory (Domain) Controller. Again to mention, this is only machine out of the 5 that is having this problem. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
PS: None of these are installed using Beta or RC's versions of the OS, the Hyper-V server and the VM's have all been in place for 2+ years working fine.
Thanks
Update: A friend of mine looked things over and found a vmg...log file that shows the problem is when the Integrated Services install try's to run the a KB that fails to installed: (KB943295). So I will investigate. But I did get the
server up and running again by adding a legacy network adapter and moving the two VHD files that were attached to the problem VM's SCSI controller to the VM's IDE controller. So a band-aid I know but at least I was able to get 41 users back working
after 7 hours of pulling out my hair! I do need to know I have this VM functioning 100% as it should so I'll continue to work on it.

Hi SScott2010,
Please try the following setps :
1. backup the problematic VM first
2. If the VM was migrated from virtual pc , please run "msconfig " --> click the boot tab then click advanced options --> select the Detect HAL check box
3. make sure the service " cryptographic service " is running automatically.
4. restart the VM
5. Install the hotfix of kb822798 in the problematic VM :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798/en-us
6. try to install the Integrated Service again.
Hope it helps

[Forum FAQ] How to upgrade the Linux Integration Service

Symptom
When you move a Linux guest virtual machine from the legacy system to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host, you may face the incompatibility issues. The most common problems are that the mouse pointer maybe a little inaccuracies, the guest VM cannot use the
dynamic memory.
Cause
The cause may be that the integration service not compatible with the Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host.
Solution
We need to upgrade the integration service to at least version 3.5.
In this demo, we use the CentOS 5.8_x86_x64.
You can refer to the following steps to perform the upgrading.
1. Before install the Integration service you can use the following command to check the version of the installed Integration service. (Figure 1)
#su root
#/sbin/modinfo hv_vmbus
Figure 1: check the version of the installed Integration service
2. Download the Integration Service 3.5 image from here.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41554
3. Insert the Integration Service 3.5 image.
a. Open Hyper-V Linux guest VM console.
b. Click-> Media->DVD Drive-> Specific the Integration service image location, insert Disk.
4. Mount the image.
If automount is enable, the Integration service image will be mounted automatically. If not, please use the following command to mount the image. (Figure 2)
#mount /dev/cdrom /media
Figure 2: Mount the image
After that, we can see the image content. (Figure 3)
Figure 3: Imange content
5. Upgrade the integration service.
Use the following command locate to the current Linux Distribution Directory. In this example, we select the RHEL58. (Figure 4)
#cd RHEL58
#./upgraee.sh
Figure 4: Locate the Linux Distribution Directory
When you see the message, "Linux Integration Service for Hyper-V has been upgraded. Please reboot your system", it means the upgrading is finished.
6. Reboot your Linux system. (Figure 5)
Figure 5: Reboot the system
7. Confirm the upgrading.
After Linux boots up, use the following command to check if the upgrading is succeed. (Figure 6)
#/sbin/modinfo hv_vmbus
Figure 6: Verify the upgrading.

Cannot upgrade Integration services on Windows Server 2003 VMs to 6.2.9200.16433

Hello.
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a 2012 server (not R2) running Hyper-V. There are 4 VMs on the host, 2 are Server 2008 and 2 are Server 2003 (SP2). The Best Practices Analyzer tells me that dynamic memory is not running correctly as there is a mismatch
in the versions of Integrated Services on the VMs. Looking into this (I am new to this setup) I found that both the 2008 machines have IS versions 6.2.9200.16433 and both the 2003 VMs are still on 6.2.9200.16384.
I tried to update the 2003 VMs by extracting the GuestVMs.iso content to a shared folder and installing on the VMs but all I get is a message saying 'this computer is already running the current version of integration services' with 6.2.9200.16384. Which
isn't the latest version. I did the same thing on a totally seperate server with 2012 VMs and it updated Integration Services so I know the procedure (and the .iso content) is valid.
Is it just the case that Server 2003 cannot handle any IS version higher than 16384? If so I wish I could find somewhere that says that! Or is there something else I can try?
All suggestions gratefully received!
