Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch. Failed to connect Ethernet switch port

Hello Folks
I am completely stuck with the configuration of my virtual networks. I have one logical switch left to add to one of my Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts when I started getting the error below when I try to add logical switches to either Hyper-V Host. I have been using
the document. 'Hybrid Cloud with NVGRE (Cloud OS)' to implement the virtual networking. Basically using the exact configuration that is in the document. I have added the PA Logical Network and the Network adapters and added the logical switch for it to my
hyper-v 2012 R2 host and everything was fine. I am now trying to add my ISCSI Logical Switch to the host and this is the error I get. My other Hyper-V host I get this error for any logical switch I am trying to add. Can someone help me with this error. I haven't
been able to find any information about it.
Also a some quick info on tracing an error like this so I can figure out what is causing it.
Thsi is my configuration so far
So as far as I know everything is peachy untill the error below. Dead stop now
Error (12700)
VMM cannot complete the host operation on the 08-NY-VHOST01.accounts.ccac-ont.ca server because of the error: Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch.
Failed to connect Ethernet switch port (switch name = '******', port name = '88C16766-ED02-4AC0-8CD7-660AC9D424DD', adapter GUID = '{FAF431D8-0124-4E40-BB3B-9234BAA02973}'): The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002).
Unknown error (0x800b)
Thank you for your time

notice your GUID?  you may want to consider ensuring that is the same GUID associated in your database.  Sometimes during data corruption theres a smidge of a chance your sql database kind of either pulls old guids esp if this was reverted to snapshot
without it being powered off etc.  
I would try that first.  then i would consider if you get to configure that with your current liscense associated with the host.  I would need way more info to help any further

    Alex just a quick response to your advice re disabling AV, this did not work for me, after more searching the internet for a solution I found a post from 2013 where one poster offered the advice to go one step further, and it was to remove the AV package
    completely, the package in question was KIS2013. I have KIS2015 and figured I would try it as I was getting a little frustrated with the constant failure to create a virtual switch.
    Anyway, it worked for me, I removed KIS, rebooted, and the VS was created on the first attempt without any issue. So simply pausing/disabling the AV from within the AV program may not be enough, I suspect that some may work and others not, as in the case
    of KIS. I wonder also if you disable the AV services at start-up if this would also work but I did not try it.
    Anyway to other people experiencing this issue, I suggest disabling AV first as per Alex's advice, and if this does not work for you then suggest trying to remove the AV before doing anything more drastic like re-installation of OS as I have seen suggested
    in more than one place.
    Thanks
    Mr Bee
    --EDIT--
    Just wanted to add, it is also worth 'excluding' any Hyper-V folders from the AV engine, I did not try this before removing KIS2015 so it may work without the need to remove your AV product, but on re-install I have now exluded the folders as suggest by
    a few folks in various posts...

  • Video Furnace: Failed while creating player controls...

    I need some help figuring out how to get Video Furnace to work on my computer. It had run very easily before; I was on campus, and I clicked on the icon, it came up, and played smoothly, but I can't get it to work any longer. It keeps saying: The Audio device is unavailable or busy. Playback will continue without audio. After that message, Another error message pops up saying: Error, Failed while creating player controls. Then the Instream quits.
    I used my roommate's computer to access the video I was supposed to watch and ir worked fine on hers; she has the same exact computer as me, and I was in the same room, only a couple of feet away. I was thinking maybe I messed up my audio settings or soemthing? I don't know what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Instead of creating a player and a processor from one datasource you can use javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl to grab frames from the video stream. To do this you need the following code
    * grabs a frame's buffer from the web cam / device
    * @returns A frames buffer
    public Buffer grabFrameBuffer ( )
    if ( player != null )
    FrameGrabbingControl fgc = (FrameGrabbingControl)player.getControl ( "javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl" );
    if ( fgc != null )
    return ( fgc.grabFrame() );
    else
    System.err.println ("Error : FrameGrabbingControl is null");
    return ( null );
    else
    System.err.println ("Error : Player is null");
    return ( null );
    * grabs a frame's buffer, as an image, from the web cam / device
    * @returns A frames buffer as an image
    public Image grabFrameImage ( )
    Buffer buffer = grabFrameBuffer();
    if ( buffer != null )
    // Convert it to an image
    BufferToImage btoi = new BufferToImage ( (VideoFormat)buffer.getFormat() );
    if ( btoi != null )
    Image image = btoi.createImage ( buffer );
    if ( image != null )
    return ( image );
    else
    System.err.println ("Error : BufferToImage cannot convert buffer");
    return ( null );
    else
    System.err.println ("Error : cannot create BufferToImage instance");
    return ( null );
    else
    System.out.println ("Error : Buffer grabbed is null");
    return ( null );
    The first method takes frame grabbing control of your player which you have already created from the datasource of the camera and it grabs a frame, returns it as a buffer, then calls the second methos which converts the buffer to an image.
    It is very straight forward and I was kicking myself when I figured you could do it this way - I had been weeks playing around with the player and processor from one datasource.
    hope this helps!

  • While creating MViews in oracle 9i database connecting to table in an orac

    There would be a trace file written on the 11g database server. Please review the trace file.
    Your 9.2 environment must be running 9.2.0.4 or higher. The 9.2.0.4 is the minimum patchset level required for it to be supported connecting to an 11g (11.1 or 11.2) database.

  • RMAN script failed while creating Data Guard 11g

    Hi Friends,
    I am creating Physical Standby (11g) using RMAN (ACTIVE) on windows using the doc : Step by Step Guide on Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN DUPLICATE...FROM ACTIVE DATABASE [ID 1075908.1]
    The folder structure on Primary DB and on Physical Standby is totally different.
    while executing RMAN script i got errors for lot of locations and i specified the proper location in RMAN script itself (ex set diagnostic_dest = 'c:\app\' , set db_recovery_file_dest='C:\app\flash_recovery_area')
    Location of control files on Primary DB:
    D:\oradata\MESSTG\CONTROL01.CTL
    D:\oradata\flash_recovery\messtg\MESSTG\CONTROL02.CTL
    Location of control files (planned) on Physical Standby DB:
    C:\app\oradata\MESSTDBY\CONTROL01.CTL
    C:\app\flash_recovery_area\MESSTDBY\CONTROL02.CTL
    How to specify control file location of Physical standby in set control_files?
    Also i have 2 control files on Primary DB so do i need to specify both the control files , if so how?
    I tried different combination in RMAN script but all are failed:

    Hi Arun,
    Please check the following in regards to the company code issue:
    1. Go to transaction PPOME and search for your Top Org unit,
    2. For that org unit, go to the tab Account Assignment.
    3. Fill the field Company Code with appropriate value and save it
    This should resolve the issue in regards to the message of the company code. The dump refers to the table V_T077D. Please check your number range settings for the customer account groups related to students table V_T077D. Once the necessary customizing is maintained, the problem  should get solved.

    3. Then use SE37, Utilities -> More Utilities -> Create Web Service -> From the Function Module, and filles what it really needs to fill. After clicking the complete button, it reports "No Vendor Specified".
    4. From SE80, when activate the Service Definition manually, it reports the same error.
    Is there any body can help me to solve this problem?
    Thanks Advance.

    Thanks again.

  • Workflow fails WHILE creating an item

    Hi Friends,
    I have created a workflow that has just one step: - set a field in the new list item created. That is I initialize a field (in my case a status field to "Initiated") while the item is being created.
    But when the item is created that field is not updated with the value. I added pause for duration step for a minute.....didn't work. I added Wait for Event: item is added....didn't work either.
    Any thoughts please ? need your expert advise on this.
    How to instantiate a field/run a workflow on an item when an item is being created rather than after creation.  ?
    Thank you for the response :)
    Regards

    you can't.
    Workflows by nature are ONLY run AFTER the action is performed (add/update). And asynchronously at that, which is to say, no guarantee that it'll run IMMEDIATELY, or even necessarily soon, or which order (if you have multiple workflows).
    what you want is an EVENT RECEIVER.
