How to fully backup virtual machines in Windows Azure

For those of you like me using the 90-day trial package of Windows Azure for testing purpose before moving on to the cloud, I want to backup all virtual machines unless my account will be disabled if it reaches spending limit. Recently another account
has been disabled so all virtual machines I created are removed. I've heard of the approach used to export virtual machines.

Hi Thuan,
When you hit the spending limit on a trail subscription, or an MSDN subscription with monthly limits, while it looks like your VMs are removed, the VHDs for those VMs still exist in your storage account and you can create VMs from them again when you enable
your subscription again (convert to pay-as-you-go, or wait for the next billing cycle in the case of subscriptions with on-going monthly limits).
Because of that, it isn't necessary to back them up relevant to the spending limit being hit.
And note that backing them up outside of Azure would incur egress fees which would cause you to hit your spending limit more quickly.
While it can be simpler to configure everything from scratch from new VMs created in Azure, another approach would be to configure them on-premises in Hyper-V, then upload them as either disks (to use for a single VM in Azure) or as images (generalized with
sysprep to use as a base template for multiple VMs). That way you already have a backup of the VHD in the copy you have on-premises. And, since inbound traffic is free, you don't have the same issue of hitting your spending limit more quickly (there will be
some outbound when doing an upload, but very little in comparison to a download).
Thanks,
Craig

Can i install VS 2013 in my Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1 and work for Mobile Development,Mobile Emulator can work in my Virtual Machine ?

I have a Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1 OS and 4gb RAM, 200gb Disk.
I want to develop apps for Windows Mobile 8.1 with VS 2013 Update 4, Mobile Emulators can work in my Virtual Machine, bcz i am getting bellow error.
Windows Phone Emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running:
Something happend while starting a virtual machine:'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB.APPUSER' failed to start.(Virtual machine ID xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx)
The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4inch 512MB.appuser' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).

No you cannot do that. You need a physical machine that supports Hyper-V

Create Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Windows PowerShell searching on hostname

Dear,
I’m a starter with PowerShell scripting an I’m looking for a script to create Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Windows PowerShell. The idea behind the script is that when I run the script its first searching for the hostname. I’m migrating 24 locations and each
location have a different hostname like xxx-SRV001. The script needs to use the first 3 signs from the hostname in this case “xxx” and create 2 VM's with below info:
Virtual Machine 1 2048MB
Virtual Machine 2 4096MB
Location D:\VM\
I can create VM's with Powershell into Hyper-V so only a script to first searching for the first 3 characters of the hostname is enough.
Example:
It's the intention that when the script runs it's looking for the hostname. As example we have hostname 000-SRV001
If the script see the first 3 characters of the hostname, in this case 000 he need to create 2 VMs with name xxx-SRV002 and xxx-SRV004
I think it must be something with
$hostname = "Get-WmiObject -computername $Machine Win32_Computersystem"
But then when i'm asking for $hostname he must give me back the hostname and if the hostname is 1 of the 24 locations then he need to create 2 vm's in Hyper-V with above info.
Can you help me or do you have a script for this?

Juste use :
$vram = 1GB*$vRam

Do you have any error with the creation of the VM?

How to import a virtual machine to a Hyper-V server by programme on Windows server 2012 ?

Hi
As we know, Hyper-V of Windows server 2012 can support importing a VM without exporting it first manually now.
So I try to code a programme to do it.
I use the method "ExportVirtualSystemEx" of "Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService". referenced by
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379583(v=vs.85).aspx
But the error said that "You can import a virtual machine only if you used Hyper-V to create and export it."
Since we can import an unexported virtual machine in Hyper-V of windows server 2012 manually, so is there any API to support to do it by programme ?

Hi vincent
Thanks for your infomation. It is really useful for us.
I 'd like to know How to adjust path ?
When I use command 'import-vm' to import VM, I got the error "import-vm : Unable to import virtual machine due to configuration errors. Please use Compare-VM to repair the virtual machine."
I try to fix this error referenced by

I ran the commands as bellow :
$report = compare-vm -path 'J:\HyperV\VM2008R2_1\Virtual Machines\6D2B5BF6-0BC0-4B1C-86BA-5A28DAB3DFCF.xml'

But this web page don't mentioned how to fix the "Virtual Hard Disk file not found" error.
and I don't want to fix the VMNetworkAdapter issue by disconnect it.
So could you told me how to modify the virtual hard disk file path and VMNetworkAdapter to make sure that I can import the virtual machine successfully?

How to install Windows Server 2012 as a Virtual Machine on Window 7 64 bit machine

Hi All,
I need to install virtual Window Server 2012 on Window 7 machine(8gb ram,64 bit machine).
Please give me the list of required softwares to install. If possible the please give download link as well.
Thanks

Since you're on Windows 7 I'd probably go for using VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/ to host the virtual machine.
Downloading 2012 depends what you're after really, if you've got TechNet / MSDN then you can download it from there, otherwise you'd need to have a licenced copy. You can download 180 day evaluation versions from the Microsoft website here :

How to install windows 7 32 bit virtual machine on windows 7 64 bit

Wondering what would be involved in installing windows 7 32 bit as a virtual machine on a windows 7 64 bit laptop, trying to continue to use software that only has 32 bit drivers to talk to specialized hardware before scrapping the hardware. Drivers
are not updateable due to the company no longer exist. Being forced to do this since I am using windows XP to currently do this and will have to stop using XP by 01Apr2014.
thanks for any help

If it's special hardware, your chances are small for it to work in a
virtual machine. Some USB devices might work, but Virtual PC can't see
the real hardware on the host.

How to improve application scalabilty hosted in windows azure virtual machine

Hi,
We are going to build and host an application in VM in azure environment where could receive a huge numeber of requests to the server(applicatio in IIS) . How can we handle the scalabilty of application . Is azure has
any predefined supports ??

Azure offer both internal and external load balancing capabilities.
It offers load balaning between virtual machines under the same load balance set.
Check here
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-load-balance/
You can create multiple Virtual machines hosting your IIS websites than use the service load balanced IP.
For the Virtual machines performances, you can benefit from the auto-scale Azure capabilities. Autoscale will automatically turn on virtual machines when some performance thresholds are crosses (Memory, CPU usage) and turn them off when it's calm again.
Look here

Only Standard virtual machines offer these capabilities, Basic VMs do not

How to access for Virtual machines in System Center 2012 r2 by remote console through code?

Hi All,
I am new in System Center. I am using System Center 2012 R2. I have a web application written by dot net, which shows the list of virtual machines created in the SCVMM. Now, I need to select a Virtual Machine from the list, and click a link named "console
access". This will allow the console access to the virtual machine. How can I perform this task?
Thanks in advance,
Moohak

The SCVMM VM console is an ActiveX application.
It is installed with the SCVMM Console application.
If you search around for the old SCVMM Self Service portal, you will discover how MSFT originally enabled this from a web front end.
If you look at Windows Azure Pack you will find a new pattern using RDP gateway.

Whenever I try to run it I ger error messages saying this is not supported.
When you try to run what? The Windows program?
There are several virtualization options available... Parallels, VMware's Fusion, and VirtualBox. Each of these will require that you have a copy of Windows to install. VirtualBox is free and fully functional. It's not as polished as the other for-pay options, but it's the only one I use. Any one of these utilites creates an environment in which you can install Windows within OS X.

Time Machine doesn't backup Virtual Machines files

I've 90 GB of disk space to backup included 2 Vmware virtuale machines files in a 250 GB external drive. The first file is a Linux Server of 2 GB. The second file is a Win XP installation of about 13 GB.
I've started Time Machine on 21 november and both files have been backuped correctly for 2 days.
After this, none other backups of these files have been made despite their size changes almost every day.
I've checked a little adn it seems those are the only files excluded in Time machine backups and I'm sure that they are not excluded.
Can someone says to me why it happens and how to solve it?
Thanks

I have some additional suggestions for you -- mainly trying to find a workaround for you.
First, if you haven't done so already, make sure your virtual environments are shut off while you do a Back Up Now just in case there's some issue with access to those files while the virtual environments are running.
Next, create a small file (e.g., a Text Edit file) in the folder containing a virtual environment. Do a Back Up Now. Does Time Machine back up that new file? If not then the problem must be at the level of that folder or higher in the file structure (i.e., it's not the virtual environment file itself that's got the problem).
You can work your way up the file hierarchy to find out which folder finally will cause an added file to be backed up.
Next, try this:
Open the Console (all messages) and leave it on screen so you can see if any error messages get thrown.
Open System Preferences / Time Machine. Click on the lock and authenticate if necessary. Click on Options. Drag your virtual environment file into the Do Not Back Up list. If you find an enclosing folder also seems to have this problem drag it in as well (shouldn't hurt to have them both in there).
Now click OK and then exit System Preferences. That should be enough to make this take effect but just to be certain, quit the Console (presuming no useful messages) and Restart the machine.
Once you have logged in again, re-open the Console and then go back into System Preferences / Time Machine / Options. Click on each line you have added to the Do Not Back Up list, in turn, and then click on the "-" at the bottom of the list to remove it from the list.
Click OK to accept these changes. This may trigger an immediate back up but if not exit System Preferences. Now open Time Machine preferences again to watch what happens and do a Back Up Now. Again, keep an eye on the Console for errors.
If this gets your virtual environment files backed up, then try making a change to one of them and do another Back Up Now to see if it is picked up again.
Failing all that, if you have enough disk space on your main drive, try making a copy of a virtual environment file and see if Time Machine will back up the copy. If it does, you might try switching to using the copy. It is possible there is some sort of permissions error in your original that may get corrected when you make the copy.
The last suggestion is even more drastic, but AppleCare will probably ask you to try it:
Create a new user account. Create a new virtual environment from scratch in that user account (do NOT just copy your existing file over). Does Time Machine back that up?
If so, try copying over your original environment file (you can do this through the public "drop box" for example -- make sure the little "+" symbol is showing before you release the file so that a copy is made as opposed to just moving the file (hold Option during the drag and drop to make this happen if it doesn't happen automatically). Does Time Machine back up the copy of your original environment file now in the new user account?
This will isolate whether the problem is system-wide or specific to your current user account.

How does JVM (Java Virtual Machine) relate to XI?

Can somebody describe to me exactly what JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is and how it is related/associated to XI? Responses are appreciated, thanks in advance!

HI,
A Java Virtual Machine (JVM), is a virtual machine that interprets and executes Java bytecode. This code is most often generated by Java language compilers, although the JVM can also be targeted by compilers of other languages. JVMs may be developed by other companies as long as they adhere to the JVM standard published by Sun.
The JVM is a crucial component of the Java Platform. Because JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms, Java can be both middleware and a platform in its own right - hence the expression "Write once, run anywhere." The use of the same bytecode for all platforms allows Java to be described as "Compile once, run anywhere", as opposed to "Write once, compile anywhere", which describes cross-platform compiled languages.
Starting with J2SE 5.0, changes to the JVM specification have been developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 924[1]. As of 2006, changes to specification to support changes proposed to the class file format (JSR 202[2]) are being done as a maintenance release of JSR 924. The specification for the JVM is published in book form[3], known as "blue book". The preface states:
We intend that this specification should sufficiently document the Java Virtual Machine to make possible compatible clean-room implementations. Sun provides tests which verify the proper operation of implementations of the Java Virtual Machine.
Sun's JVM is called HotSpot. Clean-room Java implementations include Kaffe and IBM's. Sun retains control over the Java trademark, which it uses to certify implementation suites as fully compatible with Sun's specification
we have two caches JAVA,ABAP.
i mean all objects which will execute in JAVA Cache those need the JVM.

Chilla

By "Novell 6" do you perhaps mean NetWare 6 (Novell is the company not
the product)? Does "6" imply 6.0 or 6.5? The latter is more suited to
being virtualised.
