Ghost VM resources under failover cluster manager roles

Hello, everyone,
I had a Windows 2012 R2 hyper-v host with few VMs running on it. I deployed a second host, and using SC VMM created a failover cluster. Also I added a shared cluster volume and migrated all VMs to the shared storage using SC VMM console. In
the process I also checked the checkbox to make the VM highly available. Everithyng worked fine.
Now when I look in to Failover Cluster Manager console I see some "ghost" vm roles. Their names are correspondend to the names of the running VMs, which I also can see in the console. For example I have vm HDCADC01, there is another
role in the console "SCVMM HDCADC01 Resources", the status is off, settings are empty.
Does anyone knows what are these resources? Is it somekind of glitch during the migration? Is it safe to remove them?
Thank you,
Jamal.

Where should I run this command?
On my VMM server Update-clustervirtualmachineconfiguration command complains that The cluster services is not running.
On the one of hyper-v server, cluster nodes, "get-vm -name hdcadc01" returns "Get-VM : A parameter is invalid. Hyper-V was unable to find a virtual machine with name hdcadc01". The same result is when I used "ghost" resources name.

Failover Cluster Manager 2012 Showing Wrong Disk Resource - Fix by Powershell

On Server 2012 Failover Cluster Manager, we have one Hyper-V virtual machine that is showing the wrong storage resource. That is, it is showing a CSV that is in no way associated with the VM. The VM has only one .vhd, which exists on Volume 16.
The snapshot file location and smart paging file are also on Volume 16. This much is confirmed by using the Failover Cluster Manager to look at the VM settings. If you start into the "Move Virtual Machine Storage" dialog, you can see
the .vhd, snapshots, second level paging, and current configuration all exist on Volume 16. Sounds good.
However, if you look at the resources tab for the virtual machine, Volume 16 is not listed under storage. Instead, it says Volume 17, which is a disk associated with a different virtual machine. That virtual machine also (correctly) shows Volume
17 as a resource.
So, if everything is on Volume 16, why does the Failover Cluster Manager show Volume 17, and not 16, as the Storage Resource? Perhaps this was caused by an earlier move with the wrong tool (Hyper-V manager), but I don't remember doing this.
In Server 2003, there was a "refresh virtual machine configuration" option to fix this, but it doesn't appear in Failover Cluster Manager in Server 2012.
Instead, the only way I've found to fix the problem is in PowerShell.
Update-ClusterVirtualMachineConfiguration "put configuration name here in quotes"
You would think that this would be an important enough operation to include GUI support for it, possibly in the "More Actions" right-click action on the configuration file.

"New Role" listed in failover cluster manager

This has appeared in my failover cluster manager & I'm not certain what it is. I'm not experiencing any issues at the moment. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Hi Carl Marshall,
Additional, if you confirm there don’t have others resource depend on it and it is useless you can delete it safely.

How to recover from accidental VM role removal in Hyper-V Failover Cluster Manager?

Hello
My VMs are still available in Hyper-V Manager but they are no longer available in Cluster Manager. I am curious if there's a way to move them back into the Failover Cluster Manager while retaining their GUIDs?
I know I can manually create a new VM and add the existing VHD but that process recreates a new GUID causing the VM to regard the stuff I wanted as old.
I have tried to follow
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2013/10/14/recovering-virtual-machines-in-hyper-v-server-2012-r2-part-1.aspx but I am curious if there's a faster way to do this without becoming a scripting genius overnight.
Thanks,
Prince

Thanks for the reply but that does not help.
I am not looking to move my VMs to a remote Host but rather looking to repopulate the fail-over cluster manager with the existing VMs in Hyper-V Manager. In a sense, I am looking to reuse the existing GUID without creating new ones.
Again, my VMs are alive in Hyper-V Manager but are currently not available in Failover Cluster Manager.
Any scripting assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prince

Cannot migrate VM in VMM but can in Failover Cluster Manager network adapters network optimization warning

I have a 4 node Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster and manage it with VMM 2012 R2. I just upgraded the cluster from 2012 RTM to 2012 R2 last week which meant pulling 2 nodes out of the existing cluster, creating the new R2 cluster, running the copy
cluster roles wizard since the VHDs are stored on CSVs, and then added the other 2 nodes after installing R2 on them, back into the cluster. After upgrading the cluster I am unable to migrate some VMs from one node to another. When trying to do
a live migration, I get the following notifications under the Rating Explanation tab:
Warning: There currently are not network adapters with network optimization available on host Node7.
Error: Configuration issues related to the virtual machine VM1 prevent deployment and must be resolved before deployment can continue.
I get this error for 3 out of the 4 nodes in the cluster. I do not get this error for Node10 and I can live migrate to that node in VMM. It has a green check for Network optimization. The others do not. These errors only affect
VMM. In the Failover Cluster Manager, I can live migrate any VM to any node in the cluster without any issues. In the old 2012 RTM cluster I used to get the warning but I could still migrate the VMs anywhere I wanted to. I've checked the network
adapter settings in VMM on VM1 and they are the same as VM2 which can migrate to any host in VMM. I then checked the network adapter settings of the VMs from the Failover Cluster Manager and VM1 under Hardware Acceleration has "Enable virtual machine
queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading" checked. I unchecked those 2 boxes refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still could not live migrate VM1. Why is this an issue now but it wasn't before
running on the new cluster? How do I resolve the issue? VMM is useless if I can't migrate all my VMs with it.

I checked the settings on the physical nics on each node and here is what I found:
Node7: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
Node8: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
Node9: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)Node10: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Live Migration works on all VMs in VMM)
From Hyper-V or the Failover Cluster manager I can see in the network adapter settings of the VMs under Hardware Acceleration that these two settings are checked "Enable virtual machine queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading". I unchecked those
2 boxes, refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still cannot live migrate the problem VMs.
It seems to me that if I could adjust those VM settings from VMM that it might fix the problem. Why isn't that an option to do so in VMM?
Do I have to rebuild the VMM server with a new DB and then before adding the Hyper-V cluster uncheck those two settings on the VM's from Hyper-V manager? That would be a lot of unnecessary work but I don't know what else to do at this point.

Hyper-v Failover Cluster management via powershell

Hi
We are looking at having a management server act as proxy for managing couple of hyper-v clusters using CSV. We plan to do management using powershell commands.
We create a session one of the host in the cluster and execute commands using invoke-command. The cluster verbs seems to fail with the following warning.
WARNING: If you are running Windows PowerShell remotely, note that some failover clustering cmdlets do not
work remotely. When possible, run the cmdlet locally and specify a remote computer as the target. To run the
cmdlet remotely, try using the Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP). All additional errors or
warnings from this cmdlet might be caused by running it remotely.
What is the recommended way to do setup for using FailoverCluster ? We want to have a single management server that act proxy for all servers clustered or not.
Also, is there a document that describe various operations done via Failover Cluster Manager and corresponding powershell commands (or set of commands).
Thanks
/Jd

Regarding the Stop action from Failover Cluster Manager, Eric, I understand your point. But when I do shutdown from Failover Cluster Manager, the VM shuts down as expected even when the setting is set to Save.
I was very specifically talking about the Stop-ClusterGroup cmdlet, not any command issued in Failover Cluster Manager. But, well, yeah, if you tell a VM to shut down, it shuts down. I don't know why you'd expect anything different to happen. If you're looking
for the equivalent to Stop-ClusterGroup inside Failover Cluster Manager, it's not called "Shut Down". You can use "Stop Role" on the "More Actions" menu for the VM. You can also find the configuration object (usually named in the format of "Virtual Machine
Configuration XXX") and take it offline.
I tested a number of times after your first post, and Stop-ClusterGroup does what the Cluster-Controlled Action is set to every single time for me.
I could only make educated guesses at the underlying mechanics of FCM and PowerShell's cluster cmdlets, but the stand-out difference is that FCM has no method to operate in a double-hop situation at all, while PowerShell does. You only encounter these difficulties
with PowerShell in that second hop. The question you're asking: "it would be great to know how Failover Cluster Manager works without this setup ?" is an apples-to-oranges comparison.
This particular sentence of yours sort of changes the overall parameter of your question:
"... so our automation works..."
I was under the impression you were setting up this double-hop because you wanted admins to manually execute PowerShell cmdlets against your cluster from a single controlled location.
If automation is your goal, do it right from the cluster. I obviously don't know your entire wishlist and it's none of my business, but this double-hop situation may not be ideal.

I can't find failover cluster management after creating hyper-v cluster on SCVMM 2012 R2

I've created a hyper-v cluster on scvmm 2012 r2 but I can't find the failover cluster manager to move storage resources. all hosts are showing to have hyperv role and failover clustering feature installed. disk Witness in Quorum is good, same as for the
other CSV lun. Please help me Microsoft. Thank you.

The management consoles are not getting installed while building the cluster through SCVMM. However, its not mandatory to have the management tools on the server. You can have it on a different machine with this management tools installed and connect to
this cluster remotely.

Cluster Network 2 is missing from Failover cluster Manager

I have two node Windows 2008 R2 SP1 MS SQL cluster, there was an issue with one node NIC card which was replaced and since then "Cluster Network 2" is not visible in failover cluster manager, also Heartbeat and Public IP nic card of both nodes
are appearing in "Cluster Network 1" container. even though both network public and hearbeat are on differenet subnet, but still cluster detects it as one subnet. Need to know how to bring back "Cluster Network 2"

After replacing NIC, cluster worked fine on other node for couple of days and then cluster services started terminating on both the nodes.
when checked cluster logs found below error.
"ERR [CORE] Node 2: exception caught AlreadyExists(183)' because of 'already exists'(AODBP2DB1 - Local Area Connection)"
Hence to correct this problem, renamed both nodes NIC cards as Public and Private and cluster was started and tested the failover also. but since then only able to see "Cluster Network 1" and all NIC are listed under this container.
Though when looked at cluster validation report, it shows Cluster Network 1 and Cluster Network 2 entries in it

Monitor Replication Health in Failover Cluster Manager?

Have two Hyper-V 2012 R2 Clusters.
One Cluster contains all production VM's.The second cluster is on another location and is intended only for HA purposes. All production VM's from the first clusters should be replicated to the other cluster.
What is the best way to monitor the replication health of all VM's? In Failover Cluster manager, it's not possible to add a column "replication health" to the "roles" window. It's not practical to click on every VM to view the replication
health. In Hyper-V Manager, it's easy to add "replication health" to the virtual machine window, but clicking on every host to verify the replication health is not very practical as well.
Thank you in advance for any hint (I know that we could use SCOM or something similar, but these complex tools are out of scope).
Franz

Hi FranzSchenk
I think the only real option open to you is the use of PowerShell in your situation. Have a look at this link and see if this is the sort of thing that will help you.

Network DR test causes Exchange DAG network to fail (Failover Cluster Manager reports comms errors)

We have a DAG configured between 2 mailbox servers, one in each of our main data centres. Our comms team recently performed a DR test between our 2 data centres, switiching from the main production link to the backup link. During this outage the Failover
Cluster Manager reported errors, with each mailbox server reporting the other as uncontactable. The Events that were logged include the following:
Isatap interface isatap.{02ADE20A-D5D4-437F-AD00-E6601F7E7A9D} is no longer active. (EventID 4201)
Cluster node 'MAILBOX_SERVER' was removed from the active failover cluster membership. The Cluster service on this node may have stopped. This could also be due to the node having lost communication with other active nodes in the failover cluster. Run the
Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapters on this node. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is
connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges. (EventID 1135)
File share witness resource 'File Share Witness (\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME)' failed to arbitrate for the file share '\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME'. Please ensure that file share '\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME' exists and is accessible by the cluster. (EventID
1564)
Cluster resource 'File Share Witness (\\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME)' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed. (EventID 1069)
The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost. This could be due to the loss of network connectivity between some or all nodes in the cluster, or a failover of the witness disk. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network
configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges. (EventID 1177)
The Cluster Service service terminated with service-specific error A quorum of cluster nodes was not present to form a cluster. (EventID 7024)
The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Restart the service. (EventID 7031)
Looking at the Cluster Events in the Failover Cluster Manager Snap-In i see a heap of Event ID 47 (cannot activate the DAG databases as the server is not up according to Windows Failover Cluster Service) and:
Node status could not be recorded. This could prevent some network failure logic from functioning correctly. NodeStatus:IsHealthy=True,HasADAccess=True,ClusterErrorOverrideFalse,LastUpdate=5/2/2011 8:25:42 AMUTC Failure:An Active Manager operation failed.
Error: An error occurred while attempting a cluster operation. Error: Cluster API '"ClusterRegSetValue() failed with 0x6be. Error: The remote procedure call failed"' failed.. (EventID 184)
Forcefully dismounting all the locally mounted databases on server 'BACKUP_MAILBOX_SERVER. (EventID 307).
Our Comms team doesn't believe it is a comms issue as they did not log any network communication errors between the servers in the two sites (using icmp). So if it is not a comms issue, how can I configure the Failover Cluster Manager to be resilient to
this type of network failover event.
Thanks
Dan

Isn't it also true that in a stretched DAG with even numbered nodes, the PAM needs to be in the same site as the active DAG node? If the connection between both nodes goes down, and the PAM is in the "passive" site, the primary node will
dismount the databases since it can't check with the PAM to make sure its safe for it to be up.
In a even-numbered node stretched DAG, the PAM changes to the DR/passive site everytime a failover occurs, but doesn't automatically switch back when you reactivate the primary node.

2008R2 to 2012R2 = Failover Cluster Manager not found ..gray out feature.

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded from our Hyper-V host running Windows Server 2008R2 to 2012R2,
I didn't get any errors during the upgrade and everything looked fine except that the failover cluster manager is no longer exist ..I went to add it from the server manager and found that the feature already exist but it is grayed out, I can not remove it and
add it again!
how to get the failover manager cluster working again ?
Thanks
Misbah

ok, the fix seems simple,
I needed to go from server manager and select remove role/features and then re-add it.
going to add roles/feature will not allow me to remove any feature ..it is just for adding features.

Can't add VM to Failover Cluster Manager

I have two VMs: a virtual DC and a virtual SCVMM. I opened up a Failover Cluster Manager and tried to add both machines. The DC added successfully but I can't get the SCVMM to add.
The error is:
"There was a failure configuring the virtual machine role for '<my_machine_name>'
The RASD '\\<cluster>\\root\virtualization\V2:Msvm_ResourceAllocationSettingData.InstanceID="Microsoft:BBA1664E-07AB-41FA-B3B4-DBA795117449\\663F3FFA-8784-4E92-9A9B-99FC3D705BAC\\0\\0\\D" is not a valid disk type."
I have no idea what this error is trying to tell me...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your response.
I double-checked and the VM is located on the shared cluster container. I went into Hyper-V Manager and looked at the paths and both the virtual machine and virtual hard disks are in the cluster container.
I have two VM XML files in the cluster container which I've noted with their GUIDs. For a sanity check, I also went into the specific host and navigated to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines and found that the same XML files
there too. Should those be there? They are both there so I don't see why I could add the virtual DC but not my virtual SCVMM.

Missing a VM in Failover Cluster Manager

We did eventually cut the power when shutting down the second of the two hosts in the cluster, because it got stuck at some stage during shutdown. The reason we shut down was that there were problems piling up while we moved VMs between the two nodes.
After boot, we no longer see one of the virtual machines in the Failover Cluster Manager. In Hyper-V Manager we see it, and it runs just fine.
How can we add the missing VM back in Failover Cluster Manager? Is there a simple way?
All the servers are Win 2008 R2.
Maybe a simple question - I don't know - but we just don't have enough knowledge right now, nor has searching the net resulted in anything useful. Appreciate a bit of help holding our heads above water while we learn to swim.

You mean what I see in Cluster Events in Failover Cluster Manager? I saved it, opened it in Event Viewer, and saved it as tab delimited text. Is that ok?
I have removed the text after the event IDs whenever the text was exactly identical to the preceding event with the same event ID, to shorten my post. I also cut away a long list of repetitive events where you see the ellipsis'.

SCVMM created VMs not displayed in Failover Cluster Manager

I have a 2012 Hyper-V failover cluster setup and recently added SCVMM 2012 SP1 to the mix so I could perform some P2V migrations and familiarize myself with its other many capabilities. I noticed that if I create a VM inside SCVMM it doesn't show up in the
FCM UI with the other VMs I created from FCM. VMs that you create in FCM do get picked up by SCVMM however. Is this by design?
Thanks,
Greg

For my issue above, this was because I'd not noticed and thus not ticked the box on the Live Migrate wizard that says "Make this VM highly available".
I moved the VM out of the cluster, manually deleted the failed "SCVMM <VMName> Resource", then moved the VM back onto the cluster again but this time ticking the box to make the VM highly available. All looked fine in failover cluster manager.
I do rather wonder why SCVMM designers think I might want to migrate a VM onto a Hyper-V cluster and NOT want it to be highly available...? Likewise, to be able to move the VM back out again to a standalone host once it's correctly in the cluster, you have
to untick the "Make this VM highly available box". Surely this should just be done automatically in the background?

Change "Services and applications" names in failover cluster manager

Hi. Id like to change "Services and applications" names in failover cluster manager for Windows Server 2008 R2.
I right click on one and press rename, but when i change the name and press enter i get the message "To rename this service or application please rename the Client Access Point via its property page"
It's important that we don't change the network name for the service

Hi,
Checkout this blog post

But keep in mind if you rename the resources and you are using them in a script or backup you need to check this also with the new name.
