Failback after "Protected Network" failover in Hyper-V

Hi everyone
I have a two node hyper-v cluster on Windows Server 2012 R2. I use "Protected Network" feature combined with LACP teaming at the Hyper-V level. Protected Network works fine, it meens when network connection of
a particular VM is broken, the Live Migration begins and VM starts working on a second node.
The problem is with a failback action. In the VM properties I have set the preferred owner and I allowed failback immediately. After loosing a network connection Protected Network feature migrates the VM to a second node (not preferred).
But after the connection is reliable again on the first node, the failback does not happen. When I for example restart a Cluster Service on the first node, then all VMs are migrated to a preferred nodes. Failback also works fine after restarting
one of the nodes. It does not work only after Protected Network failover.
Do you think failback is possible with Protected Network feature?

Hi Konrad,
First , my apology for the delay .
I built the cluster for this test and I configured a HA VM to allow failback immediately and preferred owner but it only applied to node failover .
(I unplugged the cable to trigger failover for that VM but it didn't failback after I plugged the cable back )

2012R2 Cluster "Protected Network" not working / no failover

hi,
I have two 2012R2 hosts running in a cluster. Hardware is exactly the same. I created a Virtual Network on both Hyper-V managers. Live migration is correctly working.
However i was testing one of the new features "Protected Network" where the VM would failover to the other node when the virtual network fails. When i try it and disconnect the cables on the node where the VM is running i see it going to error
state but nothing happens (other then the VM being not available anymore). I've waited for hours but no failover.
Am i missing something?

Hi,
Network health detection and recovery is now available at the virtual machine level for a Hyper-V host cluster. If a network disconnection occurs on a protected virtual network, the cluster live migrates the affected virtual machines to a host where that
external virtual network is available. For this to occur there must be multiple network paths between cluster nodes.

Or please rerun the validation test then post the error and the warning part, that will quickly location the issue.

Gentoo Linux and Microsoft Failover Clusters / Hyper-V

Hello,
Hoping there are a few people on the boards familiar with running Gentoo Linux guests under Microsoft FailOver Cluster / Hyper-V hosts.
I have four Gentoo Linux guest VMs (running kernel 3.12.21-r1) running under the Microsoft Failover Cluster system with Hyper-V as the host. All of the Hyper-V drivers are built into the kernel (including the utilities and balloon drivers) and generally they
run without issue.
For several months now, however, I have been having strange issues with them. Essentially they stop responding to network requests after random intervals. However, these intervals aren't a few minutes or hours from each other; more like days or even weeks before
one of them will stop responding on the network side.
The funny thing is that the VMs themselves on the console side still responds. However, if I issue a reboot command on the externally non-responsive VM, the system will eventually get to a stage where all of the services are stopped and then hangs right after
the "mounting remaining system ro" line (or something like that).
The Failover Cluster Manager then reports that the system is "Stopping" but the system never reboots.
I have to completely restart the HOST system so that either (A) the VM in question transfers to another host and starts responding again or (B) when the HOST comes back up I can work with the VM again.
This *ONLY* happens on the Gentoo Linux guest VMs and not my Windows VMs.
Wondering if anyone has hints on this.
Thank you for your time.
Regards, Christopher K.

Hi ckoeber,
Hyper-V has support most of Linux distribution but not all because it’s have so many distribution, until now the Gentoo Linux not in the support list, you can refer the following
KB to know more about the detail:

Unplanned automatic failover using Hyper-v Replica , why don't the VMs start up automatically on the replica server?

Hi,
We have cluster with two hosts (Host01 , host02) replicated to another server (Replica01)
in order to test automatic failover to the replica server (Replica01) We unplugged the power cables from Host01 and Host 02
now the VMs on the replica server is still off , why don't the VMs start up automatically on the replica server?
Ramy Shaker

overall there is no automatic failover in Hyper-V
Of course there is. It's enabled by Failover Clustering. This is a totally separate technology from Hyper-V Replica.
There is no automatic start up in Hyper-V Replica because it is not designed to detect a split-brain condition where the same virtual machine is running in multiple locations simultaneously. The replica site has no way to know why it can't reach the primary
system anymore. It might just be because someone unplugged a network cable. If the primary's virtual machines are still running and the replica decides to spin up its copies, you will have many troubles.

It won't let me select 'Join' on my password protected network

I can join non-protected networks.
My network shows up , it lets me type in the password but the 'Join' option never becomes selectable.
This is on my Macbook and is only happening after I installed leopard.

Same here,
I am not able to connect to my windows xp pc. When I go to finder and select go and type in the ip address, it finds the 3 drives that I enabled for file sharing. When I try to connect I get a message A volume failed to mount The volume "C" could not be mounted.
I can connect the NSD drives and to the network printer, but not my PC.....

Windows Server 2008 - password protect network folders

I was tasked to password protect a few folders that are being shared in the network. The folders are stored in the server (that i have admin access) and anyone in the network have full access to the folders and the files inside those folders. The computers linked in the network have different OS - 3 running vista, 2 running xp and 1 windows server 2008. Anybody in the office can use the computers without being prompted for a password (except the server) and the folders are accessible through any of those computers.
The following are my questions:
1. Is it possible to password protect folders shared in the network? If so, if someone wants to access those password protected folder through any of the computers connected to the network, will they be prompted to enter a password to be able to access it or the system will just say "access denied?" If so, please give detailed instructions on how to do it.
2. If it is possible to password protect network folders, is it possible to put different passwords on each folders? If so please give detailed instructions on how to do it.
3. If it is not possible to do any of the mentioned above through windows, is it possible with the use of a third-party software? If so, what are those third party software?

Hi All, First time on this forum and am finding it very interesting (sorry about the proposed as answer above.. hit the wrong key).
I found this topic particularly interesting and am looking to do a similar thing but seemed to have gotten around it quite easily (if I am on the same lines as greggync777 that is).
My problem is this I have a Home Theatre Network set up in my lounge to several locations around the house with around 8 gb of videos/music/pics etc, all works fine on connected pc's with WMC (all using Windows 7) and all is shared by family for entertainment.
I also have a Seperate workstation where I do my work (video editing) which involves storing considerable amounts of footage and more importantly all the work files/folders all of which is confidential, at the moment is also on a seperate pc which also houses 8 hdd with around 6gb of ever growing video information.
My point is that both these PC's ( HTPC and my WORKSTATION) are a bit too noisy despite having installed the best I can afford fans/Samsung eco green hdd's. My desire is to build a main super server running WHS 2008 (The size/Cooling/Noise etc is not a problem due to where it will be located). My main concern is Security with so many in the family having direct access to the Server so I want to restrict which files/folders they can subsequently access once there. I want to be the only one to have access to my work from my PC and everyone else denied access. I have set up a test rig running WHS08 and have set up access with several PC's using passwords for the server etc which was straightforward after creating a user account for them on whs08, therein laid the problem of then how to keep them from accessing my side of the server which is when I hit up on this thread after much searching. Following one of the suggestions above I went to the folder in question (in my case this will be a plus as all my work will be in one main folder with several thousand sub folders) to the security tab/permissions etc and firstly removed access to everyone except the server administrator. I then granted access only to one PC on the network - the one that is my workstation together with a password ( I meant to say upto this point everyone I had given access to the server could access my test folder), went back to my PC and was able to access as normal after entering the password. I then went to every other PC on the network (that has access to the Server) where I am pleased to say all denied me access to my folder. (my work pc by the way is running XPsp3). Not sure if it will work for Greggync777 or if it what he is looking to do but it did for me. I apologise also if I have rambled on a bit for my first thread.
tks Dave

Server loses internet connection after creating virtual switch in hyper-v

On a fresh Server 2012R2 Essentials install, I set up Hyper-v and created an external virtual switch. Connection to the vm is good but Health Report no shows loss of internet connectivity and that the router is incorrectly setup.
However, I still have a working internet connection? I worry that the server may not update or allow Anywhere Access at some time. Any suggestions? Thanks

If Hyper-V virtual switch behaves strange and server is destined for testing, then it's correct and I recomend delete this virtual switch and create it again.
Here is some issues with internet connection and Hyper-V switch, none of them does not match your problem, but can be inspirative for troubleshooting:

Is there any way to set up an Airport Extreme that had been previously used in a password protected network and the password was not provided by the seller ?

Background -
My original Airport Extreme Base Station failed (would not connect to the modem). I purchased a similar, if not identical base station on eBay. Unfortunately, the purchased base station apparently was used in a password protected network. For what it is worth, my son gave me a Netgear wireless router, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, I use to keep the cable modem in the basement along with the Airport base station, with a printer connected to the USB port. The Netgear device does not have a USB port and also requires that the computer (in this case, the eMac) used to set up the network be connected to one of the ethernet ports. This meant I had to move the cable modem and router into my bedroom, a very undesirable situation. It then occurred to me that the original Airport base station Wi-Fi function might still work, and tested this hypothesis and sure enough, the Wi-Fi function does indeed work I currently have both base stations powered on, with my printer connected to the original. Both base stations appear under my Network icon, but neither Airport Utility 5.4.2 or Airport Administrator Utility 4.2 see either base station. I can select the original base station as my network, connect to the printer or even my other computers, but as soon as I try to select the new one, it asks for the password. I would like to somehow reset this base station and then redefine the network name and encryption.

I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

Progmatically save to password protected network folder

I am looking to save a file to a password protected network folder. I tried using the standard Write Text.vi to see if a dialog would pop up, but it did not. There is not an ftp server running on the networked computer, so I dont think that will work.
The IT department directions to the folder say: Go to Start> Run and enter url \\computername\folder\subfolder\... and a dialog will appear to enter username and password.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Kenny

That simply reiterates what the IT department originally told the poster to do, except that you're using the administrative share.

To do this you will need to delve into the Windows API. You can also use .NET to perform impersonation. Most of the examples that are on the internet are based on .NET 1.1 and it's probably easier to simply create yourself a custom class that you can call using a single method rather than trying to put all the .NET code into LabVIEW. An example of using impersonation (though there are lots of them) can be found here.

Trouble Connecting To Password Protected Networks

Hello. I'm having trouble with the wireless side of life.
I'm in Japan and I'm trying to connect to YahooBB wireless with my macbook. Everytime I enter the password, there is a message saying the connection has failed. I have also tried to connect wirelessly at work. I enter their password and I get the connection failed message. The only place I can connect is at the Apple Store which doesn't require a password.
Could there be a reason as to why I can't connect with a password protected network? I correctly enter the passwords over and over again.
Excuse me for such a silly question (I'm new to Mac) but...do I need to purchase Airport Express to connect at work or with YahooBB? I've always assumed there was no need.
Thanks for your help.

What's the difference between hex and ASCII?
It is only how the information is presented. Humans can remember the ASCII string easier. The underying bits are the same. You can use tables like this one to convert back and forth between the ASCII characters and their hexadecimal representation.
If you can, the best wireless encryption to use is WPA2. If you can't use WPA2, use WPA.
128 bit WEP is very strong and adequate in most circumstances.
64 bit WEP (sometimes called 40 bit WEP) is very weak and should be avoided.
The type of encryption needs to be set on the wireless router (base station). Your Mac will then present you the correct dialog box to enter the password.

Hi rosegirlmom,
Does this only happen when the router is reset?
Why is the router getting reset?
Have you tired using a different router to see if this stops the issue?
Restore Network Defaults:
On the printer control panel, touch the Wireless icon ( ).
Touch Settings .
Touch and then slide your finger up on the display to scroll to Restore Network Defaults .
Touch Restore Network Defaults .
Touch Yes to confirm your selection.
Restart the printer, and then connect it back to your network.
You may need to run the Update IP address icon located in the HP folder in All Programs to update the computers with the new IP address assigned to the printer.
Let me know what happens?

Delete your Uni accesspoint. Open the default browser, connect to the Uni accesspoint, you'll be redirected to a secure webpage to fill in your username and password.

Lumia 800 crash problems after running Network Set...

Hi!
Long post coming up but if somebody at Nokia reads and makes sense of it and a fix comes about then it'll have been worth it.
Phone: Nokia Lumia 800 (sim free)
Firmware: 11500
Location: UK and Ireland
Since I got my Lumia 800 (November) I've been traveling between UK and Ireland a lot.
The phone works fine in the UK but in Ireland, when I put in my three.ie sim the phone keeps crashing during network related operations such as coming out of flight mode or reading/replying to a text message.
It's not a dodgy sim because this is the third one (I get a new payg sim each month) and this problem has occurred throughout.
At first I noticed that I could not configure the phone where MMS and internet data worked at the same time. If I added the 3internet APN then data worked but MMS didn't. If I deleted the APN then MMS worked but data didn't.
Another problem with this phone in Ireland was that it kept crashing whenever I took it out of flight mode. Again, this did not happen in the UK with my UK (Three network) sim.
As this has been happening from the first days that I got the phone I've been looking for a solution/workaround the whole time and I remember one of the first bits of information I found was somebody suggesting that the phone worked fine with the first sim inserted (which in my case was the UK sim). That stuck with me and when the Network Setup app (from Nokia) appeared I thought "ah! this makes sense, now I should be able to switch sims".
Unfortunately the app did not fix the problem of not having a unified network configuration for data and MMS.
This week I bit the bullet and reset the phone with the Ireland sim inserted. O...M...G...!!! Internet data AND MMS now work (in Ireland) and I have not gone anywhere near the APN configuration.
I used the phone for an hour surfing, checking emails, sending texts and MMSs, all was good.
Then I thought about the Network Setup app and wondered what it would do, so I ran it. The very next incoming text message crashed the phone! Then I rebooted and found that internet data did not work.
Next I repeated this process. Reset phone with three.ie sim inserted, checked that internet data and MMS worked (they did), ran Network Setup, internet data no longer worked, opened an incoming text...it didn't crash.
So, not a reproducible problem
Next test: flight-mode toggling. This one IS reproducible.
Location: Ireland
Sim: three.ie
Fully reset phone.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=12
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=11
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
So now I'm not going to run Network Setup, I'll head back to the UK on Friday and see if my phone continues to work properly with my UK sim.
Hope this helps somebody
Matt
[Edit]
Oh poop!!
Phone just crashed when coming out of flight mode and I have not run Network Setup.
MMS and internet data are working though so I'll just not use flight mode at night...or on planes

> Try moving closer to a window, or even going fully outside
Oh it's sooo tempting to click "Accept as solution"
But yes, one day, one day soon, I will go outside.

How Can we force the Hyper-V Replica to use a dedicated network between two hyper-v hosts?

Dear Team,
How can we force Hyper-V Replica to use a dedicated network between two hyper-v hosts?
For live migration, we can choose the desired network in Hyper-V Manager (Use these IP addresses for Live Migration).
I have two 10G adapters teamed together, the virtual switch is created on top as converged network with several vNICs (MangementOS, LiveMigratrion, Backup, etc...)
Each network is set with a specific VLAN to isolate the traffic.
The two Hyper-V hosts are on the same LAN and domain.
Thank you.
Regards,

I have accomplished this by using a DNS pointer specifying an IP address on that dedicated network. That will force traffic done that network.

Hi Evans,
You are doing something incorrect...
Just tested:
On the EPMFormattingSheet:
Hierarchy Level Formatting - only enabled
Priority to Row Format Set
Default Format for Row - Apply
Data cell for Default Format formatted as grey
Default Format Use set to All
EPM->Lock Selected Cells applied to the grey Data cell
On the report sheet:
All cells selected and formatted as Locked - NO
Report refreshed - data area is formatted grey and locked is set to YES.
