Dynamic Disk Support in Azure Pack

Is Dynamic Disk supported to be added into a VM that is part of a cloud through Windows Azure Pack?

what do you mean by dynamic disk ?
Do you mean dynamically expanding VHDs ?
If you mean that than i confirm you that you can use either dynamic or fixed VHDs types (VHD and VHDx)
Fixed VHDs limitation is only in Microsoft Azure and not in Windows Azure Pack (only VHD)

[SOLVED] Windows Dynamic Disk support?

Hi everyone,
My question is, if it anyone knows how it is possible to mount Windows spanned drives, so I have access to the Windows data under Arch?
I am using Arch / Windows 8 dual boot with 3 drives. One SSD where the base systems are installed, and two 1TB HDDs, which I mirrored under Arch (2x700GB). I then spanned the remaining free space of the 2 drives to one dynamic disk under Windows 8.
I am also a bit confused, because of the different output of fdisk -l and lsblk -f, as the /var and raid partitions are not visible in the fdisk output and also the recognized filesystems are different? Is there a reason for that?
fdisk -l

Hmm, is this for sure? Because I read that some people managed to do it.
I followed this ubuntu how-to http://bigli.ch/howto-access-windows-sp … th-ubuntu/ and after it didn't work, I tried it with mdadm (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833653):
mdadm --build -l 0 -n 2 -c 64 /dev/md128 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc2
Anyhow, both ways let me create a Volume but I am not able to mount it.
EDIT: I got 2 different error messages, when I am trying to mount it:
#1
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/md128 /media/Win8Volume/
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/md128': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/md128' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
#2 ( after rebuilding the array with switched devices)
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/md128 /media/Win8Volume/
ntfs_mst_post_read_fixup_warn: magic: 0x61592c70 size: 1024 usa_ofs: 50934 usa_count: 14904: Invalid argument
Record 0 has no FILE magic (0x61592c70)
Failed to load $MFT: Input/output error
Failed to mount '/dev/md128': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.

Dynamic Disk Attachment Support

Is dynamic disk supported to be attached as data disk? in Windows Azure Pack

I am getting following error even after correct Hashtag
Azure Error:
The operation on virtual machine, template or hardware configuration with id [*] results in use of one or more dynamic hard disks not supported by the specified cloud and fabric capability. Ensure that no dynamic hard disks are required by this operation
and try the operation again. Please contact your system administrator with this error ID.
VMM Error:

Does Exchange 2007 support dynamic disk

We have Exchange 2007 SP3 installed on Windows 2008 Std edition. it is a virtual machine.
We have disk space issue on couple of drives. We are planning to expand the disk.
All the disk are in BASIC mode. I want to know does Exxhange 2007 support Dynamic disk and does it allows to convert BASIC disk to dynamic disk and extend the drive. Please suggest.
Thanks
Srinivas

Yes, it is supported to have mailbox database on Dynamic Disk (except it is single copy cluster)
Partition Design - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738145(v=EXCHG.80).aspx
However I won't convert the disk from basic to dynamic while database is on the drive. Suggest you to dismount the DB, move it to a temp location, convert the disk, move the database back and mount the DBs...

WS2008 R2 - Invalid dynamic disk

I have a software RAID5 array in Windows Server 2008 R2. 5x4TB drives. After clean shutdown all the disks in disk management are listed as invalid. When I try to reactivate any of them I get this error message: This operation is not allowed
on the invalid disk pack.
What can I do? I've searched high and low and can't find a solution.

Hi,
Based on research, it seems a bug that Dynamic disk(s) comes back as INVALID after taking offline, or following reboot.
This bug surfaces when the size of a record in the LDM matches exactly the size of a block on disk. In this situation, volmgrx incorrectly flags the record as incomplete. After reading the whole database, volmgrx will clean all incomplete records. That’s why
we end up with an empty volume record and with a plex that’s not referenced by a volume.
In this repro, we have a record for a volume that’s bigger than 2TB, has a 3 digit number and has no drive letter (which means attributes are stored in the record). Because of this, the record size was exactly 68 bytes, which is the size available in the block
after all the headers.
If the effected Windows 2008 R2 server is Non-DPM server, we must re-create the volumes manually and restore from backup.
If the server is a DPM 2007 server, all of the dynamic disks in the DPM storage pool will be inaccessible. To avoid having to rebuild the DPM server from scratch, you can use the following procedure to clean (wipe out) the dynamic disks and recreate the DPM
replica and recovery point volumes while maintaining the rest of the DPM 2007 configuration.
WARNING: This procedure is non-reversible, and will result in ALL replica and recovery point volumes to be permanently lost. Verify with the customer that he has a >2TB volume configured before proceeding.
1) Run diskpart.exe - and issue a "list disk" command - and see which disks show the status of INVALID
2) Select one invalid disk at a time and issue a CLEAN command to wipe it out and make it a RAW disk again.
3) Select one disk at a time and convert to GPT, then Dynamic.
4) Exit diskpart.exe
5)Now add the same disks to the DPM storage pool under the management tab - disk tab.
6) From command prompt - run the following command to remake the DPM volumes - this may take hours...
dpmsync -reallocatereplica
7) AFTER Dpmsync completes, re-run diskpart.exe and save the output of the "list volume" command.
NOTE: Make the DOS window so if has a height of 9999 before running list volume - then copy the contents of the window to notepad.
8) Search the output of list volume and locate any volumes are larger than 2000 GB (2TB) - note the mountpoint path.
9) From command prompt - run mountvol.exe >mountvol.txt - then open the mountpoint.txt using notepad. Search for the path for the >2GB volumes to get the volume {Guid}
10) Use mountvol.exe to assign a drive letter to that volume.
mountvol E: \\?\Volume{bf14e9ca-d929-11dd-8f76-806e6f6e6963}
11) Repeat steps 7-9 for ANY and ALL volumes that have a volume numbers above 99, and exceed the 2TB size.
It is now safe to reboot and not experience the dynamic Invalid status for the dynamic disks. If the customer creates any more dynamic volumes that exceed 2TB - they MUST assign a drive letter or they will experience the same issue.
12) Run Consistency checks for all the data sources to get the DPM server back into a consistent state and continue protectecting the production servers.
I hope this helps.

Windows 2008 R2, converting to dynamic disk questions

Hello,
   I have a Windows 2008 R2 server and I want to convert the drive into a dynamic disk for mirroring. The disk currently is divided into two partitions. The C: partition which is System,Boot, Page File, etc. and the D: partition which
is data. The questions I have are:
    Can a disk with multiple partitions be created without data loss or anything?
    I know you have to reboot, but how long does it usually take to do the reboot/conversion before the server is back up?
    I want to mirror the drive to a 2nd identical disk in the server, and am planning to use Computer Management. Do I have to partition the second drive first, or will the process do it automatically?
    The server is a dedicated server that is provided by a hosting company, so I would be doing it through Remote Desktop. Can it be done that way?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can convert the drive into a dynamic disk within both local logon session and remote desktop session. The system requires reboot twice to make the conversion take into effect. You do not have to partition the second drive.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

Connect Azure Pack to Service Bus for Windows Server with Custom DNS

Hello! I'm trying to configure Azure Pack to use Service Bus for Windows Server 1.1 with Custom DNS.
All runs on one virtual machine (Windows Server 2012 R2) in Windows Azure.
I following this post:
roysvork.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/developing-against-service-bus-for-windows-1-1
Replace FramDNS "servicebus" to "mymachine.cloudapp.net", and create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
On Windows Azure Virtual Machine:
1.I'll set publuc DNS: mymachine.cloudapp.net
2.Open ports: 10354,10355,10356,10359,10000-10004
3.In hosts file: 127.0.0.1 mymachine.cloudapp.net
4.Create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
PowerShell:
Stop-SBFarm –Verbose
Set-SBFarm -FarmDns 'mymachine.cloudapp.net'
Update-SBHost –Verbose
Start-SBFarm –Verbose
New-SBAuthorizationRule -NamespaceName ServiceBusDefaultNamespace -Name MainRule -Rights Manage, Send, Listen
Afther that i can connect to my ServiceBusDefaultNamespace with SAS.
It's work perfect. But, When I try to create Service Bus Namespace from Azure Pack Tenant portal - in Log an Exception:
Namespace Provisioning Exception. TrackingId: . SystemId: . Namespace: SomeNamespace.
Method: Activating. Exception: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while
sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed:
Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. --->
System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according
to the validation procedure.
And status of namespace - Activating.
Please help!

Hi Alexander,
According to the log, it seems that the validation process of the certificate failed.
Please make sure that the certificate is installed in the client properly.
Usually, self-signed certificate should be installed in the Computer Account-->Trusted Root Certificate Authorities.

Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?

I just got a pair of new 3TB disks that I wanted to put on my Windows 2003 server enterprise x64 system, SP2, all updates installed.
When I first tried to convert to dynamic, I got the error "The operation did not complete" as described in this KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826823
It says there is a patch, but there is not one for x64, just x86 and ia64
I found another technet discussion here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/cb62238c-b3d0-4989-b45a-ae6de6701a7b?stoAI=10
However its best suggestion is to use a product from AOMIE, but I tried that and it didn't even recognize the disk. It also suggests that one needs a better version of diskpart.exe and to try to the 32 bit version. Anyone have any experience
with that?
I also tried creating moving the disk to Windows 7 x64, making it dynamic there, but when I move the disk back to 2K3 it does not recognize it, and goes back to a 2TB partition. I also saw something about needing a 512 block size for 2K3, but W7 does
not allow anything smaller than 1K.

Hi,
During my research, if found the following artcle which also mentioned a 3TB disk should be supported in Windows 2003 SP1:
Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/a720ae72-0c04-44dd-94c0-2e6aecce530e
So I contact the author about this issue. He said it could be caused if your hard disk is a 512e drive as the 3TB drives on the market today are normally 512e drives.
However manufacturers stopping identifying this, and if the controller is old, FSUtil will not able to identify a 512 drive but recognized it as a normal 512n drive.
Thus please provide the drive model so we could search on manufacturer's website for exact information.
Also please paste the screenshot in your reply which Satish mentioned if available.

Windows Azure Pack setup - 500 Internal Server Error - failed to configure databases and services

Hi,
I am trying to setup the Windows Azure pack to use the site to configure the Service bus 1.1 installation. When I try to configure the Windows Azure Pack I get the following error:
Admin Authentication Site
500 Internal Server Error - Failed to configure databases and services: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I'm not sure where the logs are to see what is causing this error. I have tried running as admin, running as a different user with no luck.

Does windows azure service management APIs work for windows azure pack setup as well ?

Does Service Management REST APIs(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460799.aspx) for Azure work with
Windows Azure Pack as well ?

Hi,
Windows Azure Pack is basically a proof of concept.
So, it will not have all the features that Windows Azure has in the cloud.
Some services such as Cloud services & storage services are not available.
for some available API support:

Vista Dynamic Disk

Hello, does anyone know how to configure two drives using Vista's Dynamic disk? Or, a third party software that is capable of creating a RAID array in Vista utilizing boot camp? Goal: drive 1 mac; drive 2 vista w/ drive 3&4 as a RAID 0. I always get an error message in Vista "there's not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation."

Before you can do anything with 3&4 you first have to strip any partition you may have created in Mac side. Then you can setup a RAID in Windows.
Easiest way I found, esp if using WD drives, is use WD Diagnostic to zero the drive and more. But you can't have GPT.
But even a simple stripe or mirror RAID, I never used or chose Dynamic.

Dynamic Disks

I need some clarification on dynamic disks. I'll break it down to a few questions:
Can dynamic disks be used with an MBR partition style? How many partitions can be created this way?
Can a dynamic disk be a boot or system partition? If so can it be extended to a spanned or stripe volume?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Michael,
Dynamic disk could be used as an MBR partition.
Also it could be boot or system partition. I saw (and tried) to install system on a mirror volume. However it need to be done before installing system. So we cannot extended to a spanned or stripe volume after - we need to rebuild a larger
volume.

How do I convert a dynamic disk back to a basic disk (how do i back up a dynamic disk)

Hi
I have "accidently" converted an internal disk to dynamic and cannot see any of my data. I want to see the data. I presume I need to convert it back to a basic disk?
on this forum and others the solution seems to be back the data on the dynamic disk up, convert it back to basic and restore the data after. Yet, the only place I can see any signs of the disk is within disk managment.
If I run Backup it dosen't see the disk.
any suggestions would be gratefully received!
I am running Win7 home dual boot with WinXp pro
Thanks, Jason

Hi,
you must backup all data and delete the volumes on it:
How to Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk
