Errors Performing V2V Conversions from ESX 5.5 to Hyper-V 2012 R2 using SCVMM 2012 R2

I've successfully added my vSphere server and 2 ESXi 5.5 hosts to my SCVMM 2012 R2 server.
I have also added my 2 Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts as well.
When I attempt to do a V2V conversion of a VM from 1 of my ESX hosts to Hyper-V, I receive - "Error (2901) The operation did not complete successfully because of a parameter or call sequence that is not valid. The parameter is incorrect."
When I go into the details of the job in VMM it shows "1.4 Convert VMDK to virtual hard disk - Failed" and "1.4.1 Deploy file (using HTTP) - Failed"
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
Also, I can do V2V conversions using the same ESX and Hyper-V hosts without any issues using Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 2.0, but my manager wants me to use VMM.
Thanks!

Quite honestly, building fresh on the platform and migrating the apps / services is always the best way to go
PlateSpin was the last product I knew that had a Linux conversion utility. Even found this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/enterprise_admin/archive/2010/04/26/hyper-v-linux-p2v-with-platespin.aspx
No idea the current status of PlateSpin. They were the gold standard back in 2008.
But honestly, it can be painful. It all depends on the hardware now.
With Hyper-V the end boot device is IDE - so if the machine now runs on SCSI, the boot loader pointers need to be modified (if you can find a tool to bring the disk forward).
Now, that said. Hyper-V can convert a physical disk to VHD. That is a stealth feature that has been there from the beginning. I can't recall if it is block by block, or if the file system must be known for the copy to succeed.
You mount the disk on the Hyper-V Server and create a new VHD from a physical disk.
The biggest issue with the conversion utilities is that Windows does not know the Linux file systems. So you need some Linux tool to do it.
I know that VMware had a converter that handled Linux - but again, you have to manually fixup the hardware in the boot menu.

Warrning about disk location when migrating from VMware to Hyper-V using SCVMM 2012 R2

Hi
I have started migrating my servers from a VMware ESXi host 5.1 to a brand new Hyper-V 2012 R2 server using SCVMM wizard. I have completed a couple of migration, but my disks gets converted from SCSI to IDE. I get the warning below. The conversion works
and there should not be any performance issue because it is all virtual controllers. The thing is that I cannot expand my drives located on an IDE bus, but only on the servers where my drives is located on SCSI bus.
Is there a way to convert to SCSI controller directly from VMware?
Thomas | MCP | http://www.techwork.dk

With Hyper-V, there is two types of Virtual Machines:
Genration1 VM : This type of VM can work with all Hyper-V versions. It uses legacy hardware, and the BOOT VHD must be connected to an IDE controller
Genration2 VM: Introduced with Windows Server 2012 R2. It uses only synthetic hardware, and the BOOT VHD is connected to a SCSI controller.
If you want your VM boot disk to be on an SCSI controller, you can convert your VM from GEN1 to GEN2
Look Here for more information about VM generations and how to convert them

http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/10/24/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-1.aspx
NB Once converted to GEN2, you will not able to go back to GEN1 (There are ways but they still complicated), so read carefully the PRO and CONS of each type

Middleware-Error of Field conversion from R/3 to CRM

Hello Friends,
I am getting the below error when we tried replicating pricing condition objects from R/3 to CRM. Kindly help me if you have any solution on this.
Funct. CND_MAP_CONV_FUNC_T682Z_QUSTR cannot convert content KOMP of field T682Z-QUSTR to field /SAPCND/T682Z-QUSTR
Message no. CND_MAP141
Diagnosis
Conversion of the source field into the target field cannot be implemented. Possible causes may be:
No conversion is defined for the current contents of the source field in the system tables for condition exchange.
There is no conversion rule for converting the current field content in the system tables for condition exchange.
Conversion according to the defined conversion rule was not correct for the current contents of the source field.
The reason for this os often problems that result from putting together an R/3 System with a CRM System. These problems are, for example:
not paying attention to the restrictions in CRM for data values or supporting applications and objects,
incorrect exchange objects or exchange objects with the wrong selection values,
an inconsistent data structure from the R/3 OLTP System.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh
I have just noticed the message you placed on SDN re condition customising download errors. Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem ?
The reason I ask is that I am getting similar errors. I actually started with two errors which I believe are related, these being:
Funct. CND_MAP_CONV_FUNC_T682Z_FNAME cannot convert content AUBEL of field T682Z-QUFNA to field /SAPCND/T682Z-QUFNA
and
Funct. CND_MAP_CONV_FUNC_T682Z_QUSTR cannot convert content KOMP of field T682Z-QUSTR to field /SAPCND/T682Z-QUSTR
I have since read OSS Note 319636 and looked at maintaining the separate
conversion rules in CRM Customizing table CND_MAPM_CNV_FLM by adding an
entry for AUBEL into view V_CND_MAP_CNVFLD using SM30. This I saved to
a transport.
I then looked to add AUBEL to the field catalog within the IMG however I received a
message stating that :
"Entry is in SAP name space. Message no. /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING403".
So it won't let me.
Did you have similar problems and did you resolve them ?

Problems after upgrade from SCVMM 2012 Sp1 to SCVMM 2012 R2

I did a in-place (uninstall VMM2012 Sp1, retain the database, and install VMM2012 R2 point to old database) upgrade. All the steps work fine.
The only problem (so far) is that when I create a new VM using a custom template (for example, Windows 2008 R2), the deploy fail with the following error:

Any ideas?

I have a similar problem when migrating VMs from Windows 2008 R2 (Non Clustered) Hyper-V to Windows 2012 Hyper Cluster. I had previously migrated about 100 VMs like this with no problem. It appears since upgrading from VMM SP1 Rollup 4 to Rollup 5 this problem
is happening. All Agents are up to date.
I can migrate VMs in the cluster no problem.
I removed the Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V host and added it back which allowed the job to at least start but when it gets to the final steps of importing the VM it fails with the same error and references the VMM server.
Others suggest this is a VMM Certificate problem and you can remove the Cluster node and add it back again but I can't do that in a production Cluster with hundreds of VMs. That is not an acceptable solution.
How can we fix this?

Implicit Conversion from data type sql_variant to datetime is not allowed.

Getting a odd error. This code was working perfectly before a SQLServer upgrade.
The linked database is working, I'm able to pull up data from it in separate queries just fine.
I'm getting the following error.
Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to datetime is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Invalid column name 'TotalDay'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
can anyone spot the issue? I've tried sever variations of the same code, but still get the same thing.
If I put this section in a query by it self it works just fine.
( DATEDIFF(ss,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),( SELECT TOP ( 1 )
TimeDate
FROM [nav].AcsLog.dbo.EvnLog AS X3
WHERE UDF2 = E.No_
AND CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), X3.TimeDate, 101) = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @sdate, 101)
ORDER BY TimeDate ASC
),101),
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),( SELECT TOP ( 1 )
TimeDate
FROM [nav].AcsLog.dbo.EvnLog AS X4
WHERE UDF2 = E.No_
AND CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), X4.TimeDate, 101) = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @sdate, 101)
ORDER BY TimeDate DESC
),101)) ) AS TotalDayBadge ,

>ANDCONVERT(VARCHAR(10),X3.TimeDate,101)=CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),@sdate,101)
It is not a good idea to use string dates for predicates in WHERE clauses.
Use DATETIME or DATE in predicates.
If you are not interested in the time part of DATETIME, use DATE datatype.
Example:
SELECT CONVERT(DATE, getdate());
-- 2014-08-25

Missing Event Viewer VM Manager Log after ugrade from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to R2

We recently upgraded from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to SCVMM 2012 R2. After the upgrade, I noticed that the VM Manager log, in the Event Viewer, is missing. I've tried to peruse all of the logs to see if it has been moved/renamed, with no luck. I highly doubt an important
log would be removed without a replacement being available, so I'm curious if it was something that had to be enabled (isn't turned on by default).
I had scripts which relied on the log for VM status changes, Event ID 821 (shut down/running/etc), to keep a last-used database for all of the VMs on our cloud.
Has anyone run in to this problem, or have any idea how I can get get the information that was available in the VM Manager log?
Thank you.

Error in connecting App Controller to SCVMM 2012 R2

Hello All,
I have recently installed App Controller 2012 R2 on a new VM. We are already using SCVMM 2012 R2 with Update Rollup 4.
I'm logged-in on the App Controller website with the service account of App Controller/SCVMM.
Now when I'm trying to connect App Controller to SCVMM server, it gives the following error:
"Category: Critical
Description: Connection attempt to the target system failed.
Details: Category: Critical
Message: 553–RegistryInvalidValue
Description: The type or name syntax of the registry key value IndigoTcpPort under Software\Microsoft\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Administrator Console\Settings is incorrect."
I'm correctly entering the complete FQDN of my VMM management server, and the default port: 8100.
Need help please.
Thank you.

Hasan Bin Hasib

Hi Hasan,
I haven't seen this issue before, but the following post provides information on checking the registry value:
https://wmoore.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/appcontroller-2012-r2-vmm-registration-error/
The usual caveats about editing the registry apply, including make a backup first.

Migration from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to R2 - New Hardware

We want to migrate our existing SCVMM 2012 SP1 to new hardware and then bump it to SCVMM 2012 R2. Our database is on a separate SQL 2008 R2 server. This is what we envision doing to get there:
Uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 on existing server and retaining the database
Backup and restore the SCVMM database to a new SQL 2012 server
Install SCVMM 2012 R2 on new hardware and connect to existing database on SQL 2012 server
Does this sound doable? Will we lose anything in the move? Maybe our existing libraries?

Upgrading on a remote computer
Upgrading from VMM in System Center 2012 SP1 on one computer to VMM in System Center 2012 R2 on a different computer is not supported when data is retained from the original installation, and the following configurations apply:
The original installation uses Windows DPAPI. This is the default setting if you did not configure distributed key management during setup.
The VMM management server is configured to use any of the following encrypted values or settings:
Application settings (encrypted value)
Service setting (encrypted value)
SQL Server deployment (product key)
Web deploy package (encryption password)
"Personally" and this is a pain, I would:
Uninstall VMM SP1 and retain the DB.
Re-install the exisiting hardware with Server 2012
Re-install VMM SP1 and reconnect to existing DB
Upgrade to VMM 2012 R2
Uninstall and retain the DB
Restore the DB on new SQL 2012 server
Reinstall VMM 2012 R2 on new Server and reconnect to existing DB
Note that you will probably get access denied messages once running on the new VMM server due to the SID change. You will need to re-associate hosts and libraries.
I'm still not saying this is a supported method, but it's likely it's more supported as it's essentially following DR principals.

V2V from ESX to Hyper-V fails

I am unable to successfully migrate a VM from ESX (5.1) to a Hyper-V 2012 R2 host via SCVMM 2012 R2
If I copy the .vmdk and its files over to the SCVMM library server I am able to successfully convert it. So that is my workaround for now.
Here is the error I get everytime. It always seems to get at least 50% of the way through the Virtual-to-Virtual conversion step but then fails

Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server myrdshost. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If
myrdshost is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed and running. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.

I am having the exact same issue. I have tried different versions of ESXi from a base image to a fully updated. I have also played around with NIC type(1G/10G) and MTU. The only thing I haven't tried was putting the Hyper-v hosts and ESXi
hosts on the same subnet, and that will be next, just to take the routing out of the mix, after that I will mess around with the 10G driver options. Copying them over and converting local isn't an option for me as some of my virtual disks are 1TB+. I
have about 300 VM's to move.. I am fully patched on the Host side as well as the VMM 2012 R2 side.
If I find out something I will let you know.

Error 3 in Update(The Conversion from 0CALDAY to 0FISCPER failed)

Hi Guyz....
Seriously struck with this issue while loading data into 0PP_C02 using the D.S- 2LIS_04_P_MATNR. I've been getting the error "Time Conversion from 0CALDAY to 0FISCPER (Fiscal Year) Failed... and at update rule I've been getting the error "Error 3 in Update"
I've searched almost all the posts- alas, all are unanswered.
Can anyone please provide me the right soultion...?
Thanks,
Regards,
G!

Hi Gautam,
For converting calday to fiscal period, you need to have fiscal variant and also entries in Table T009B for this fiscal variant.
1) Check whether you have company code populated for all records.
2) Please check whether you have fiscal variant maintained in the company code master data.
3) Check whether you have T009B table maintained.
If not this can be transferred in source system -> Global settings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Krishnan
