Hyper-V Error 0x80070050 Virtual Hard Disk already exists.

Hi All,
I'm new to this form and virtualization. I was able to create a Virtual computer with Hyper-V but ended up deleting it due to an error I couldn't resolve during the OS installation process. When I try to create a new virtual computer with the same name I
get an error saying "The system failed to create a virtual hard disk (hard disk path and name .vhdx) the file already exists 0x80070050" I can not find that file anywhere to remove it even though I already deleted the virtual computer. Anyone ideas
on how to fix this, I don't want to always have to make new unique names if I delete one to make a new one. I'm using this server to learn on and I will most likely be doing a lot of deleting and creations.
Thank you,
James

James,
Most likely under "c:\ProgramData\..." which is a hidden folder by default on your system. Look around under this directory - "c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Hyper-V" or something similar.
BTW - You can configure Hyper-V to tell it where to store the VHDs.
Regards,
-Steve

  • The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing. (Hyper-v / Windows 10 Enterprise Tech. Preview)

    I am attempting to create new virtual machines in Hyper-V on Windows 10 Enterprise Tech. Preview and I am continually getting the error "The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing.". I am not trying
    to setup a shared VM or VHD, just a basic VHD.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    This issue is listed in the release notes and currently there is no fix on our side. Have to wait for the next build.
    "Known issues in Build 10049
    If you have Virtual Machines hosted on your PC running Windows 10, you will want to move to the Slow ring and wait for the next build as this build breaks the ability to run VMs. "
    The statement is miss-quoted. It was about Hyper -V. An update KB3053898
    was released to fix that
    See the blog
    Here :

    Is this limitation by design? If we have a shared VHDX between two VMs, then I am not able to change the VM properties from SCVMM.

    Hello,
    that is a VMM issue.
    If you did not deploy your virtual cluster from a VMM service template, VMM doesn't recognize the configuration.
    Until MS got it fixed, you could use the workaround from system center central:

    Btw I finally managed to create a new VM wi/ VHD but still can't create new vhd

    the physical quad core Xenon server for backup dns also works as exchange server

    These actions are not performed in the security context of the user.  The Local System / computer account of the Hyper-V Server is what needs the access, not the user.
    Also, many AV products will cause these problems if the exclusions are not set properly, as they block the hypervisor from doing its job.

  • The server encounter an error while attaching Virtual Hard Disk in Windows Server 2008R2

    Unable to add an existing virtual hard disk in new VM(windows server 2008r2).

  • Solved: I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing" enabled.

    Hello,
    Issue:
    On a Virtual Machine with a secondary VHDX attached, I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) the VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing (VHD Sharing)" enabled.
    Questions:
    Should I be able to manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, and write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has VHD Sharing enabled? If I should be able to manage it, what am I missing?
    Topography:
    One SuperMicro Cluster In a Box (CIB) with 2012 R2 Data Center on each node. Microsoft Failover Cluster installed and working on each node. The Failover Cluster Servers on each host passes all cluster validation tests. Two Hyper-V 2012 R2 Data Center Virtual
    Machine (VM) servers, one on each node. 1 common Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) and 1 Generation 2 Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) shared volume both Resilient File System (REFS) formatted. One 5 Gigabit (Gb) Virtual Hard Drive Type X (VHDX) file on the CSV and/or
    SOFS. Integrity bit and read only turned off on VHDX file.
    Each of the two Hyper-V VMs have one 127Gb VHDX Generation 2 primary hard drive and 1 VHDX secondary hard drive attached, both on SCSI Controller #1.
    Background:
    If I start VM1 without the VHD Sharing enabled on the secondary hard drive, I can bring the drive online, initialize, partition, format, and write to the drive.
    If I enable VHD Sharing, I can no longer modify the drive in Disk Management in any way. With or without VM2 running.
    Both VMs and the CSV and SOFS are on the same host cluster server, or not, no difference…
    The VHDX is referenced either by the CSV name C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\TEST1.VHDX
     or a Shared Folder name
    \\sharedfolder\folder\Test1.VHDX .
    If I start VM1 with VHD Sharing disabled and I format the drive, then shut down and enable VHD Sharing, the drive is offline and requests initialization which fails with an "I/O device error", every other attempt to manage the drive fails with
    the same "I/O device error", error.

    Hi All,
    I had to buy a Willy Wonka bar and spend a golden ticket to get an answer to this one.
    We found that the default LogicalSectorSizeBytes of a VHDX is 512b. It needs to be 4kb.
    The Host drive doesn't seem to matter CSV or SOFS. Below is a way to create a VHDX with the correct LogicalSectorSizeBytes.
    In Power Shell, type --> New-VHD -Path C:\ClusterStorage\Volume4\Cluster2DataDisks\Cluster2Disk1.vhdx -SizeBytes 200Gb -PhysicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb -LogicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb
    Attach the resulting file to your guest cluster servers and set the Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing option on both server. You should now be able to bring the drives on-line and initialize them. They will also add to the guest cluster pool.
    Change the size, path and file name above to fit your Cluster Servers configuration.
    Thank You 
    Sachin Kumar Support Engineer | Windows Server Setup Team | Microsoft Enterprise Platform for finding the answer to this one.
    Hope this helps others.

  • The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

    Hi everyone,
    I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
    online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
    install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
    "the storage
    where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
    didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
    hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi MrDebugging,
    >>
    When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
    but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
    By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
    Windows 8.1
    According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
    The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
    Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
    Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
    All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
    If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .

  • New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

    New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation. 
    Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager. 
    The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7. 
    I have installed  The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1. 
    I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but  I cannot create vhd's  the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen. 
    The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid. 

    I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
    Two parts were taken:
    1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
    2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
    Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.
    -----Infrastructure----
    Windows 2003 Domain upgtraded to 2008R2

  • Creating a Master virtual hard disk and using the same for all other VM's

    Hi,
    We would like to create a master virtual hard disk and use the same for all other VM's. Can we do that ?
    my requirements :
    1) create 10 VM's
    2) first create a master virtual hard disk with win OS and use the same to create the 10 VM's.
    3) After creating the VM's change the HDD size.
                  -- if i have created master virtual disk with 500GB , and use the same for creating a virtual machine. can we change the HDD size to 1TB ?
    After creating the VM's ,i will change the system names and activate the windows accordingly.
    Will there be any implications ,if we can/will do like this.
    Thanks.

    Hi Suren424,

  • SCVMM 2012 RC - Unable to remove a VHD in the library because it has a dependency (Virtual Hard Disk deployment configuration)

    When attempting to delete a VHD in the library, I am getting the below error message. Any thoughts on where I might look for the dependency "Virtual Hard Disk deployment configuration"?
    Exact error message:
    The library object (os_disk) cannot be removed because following objects are dependent on it:
    Virtual Hard Disk deployment configuration
    Please ensure that no objects are dependent on this library object and try the operation again.
    ID: 848

    On the final version (tested in 2012 SP1)
    Suggest this instead of hacking around in the database:
    You will receive a message that objects are dependent on the library object. Note the name that is listed after "VM Template"
    Go to powershell in scvmm
    Run:
    remove-scvmtemplate -vmtemplate "NAME_YOU_RECORDED_FROM_ERROR"
    Then, you can delete the template from SCVMM,
    Wow Microsoft, Wow.

  • Help - The chain of virtual hard disks is corrupted

    I took a snapshot of a VHD that I tried to expand to 40GB. After expanding I tried to restart the VM but got the error that "The Chain of virtual hard disks is corrupted".
    Apparently because I expanded the Parent VHD it threw up this error ( i assume because the snapshot differed in size?)
    This led me to Vhdtool which I ran:  vhdtool.exe /repair parentvhdfile.vhd snapshotvhdfile.vhd /quiet
    This appeared to have run okay. However when I went to restart the VM again I got the error:
    Servername Failed to start
    Microsoft emulated IDE controller failed to power on with error - the chain of virtual hard disks is corrupted. There is a mismatch in the virtual sizes of the parent virtual hard disk and differencing disk.
    Failed to open virtual disks. The size of the vurtua;l disk is not valid.
    etc...
    I notice that my parent VHD = 40GB in size, whilst the Snapshot (avhd) file = 109K
    I think I need your help, I don't know what to do!!

    If you made changes to the parent drive, your chain will be corrupted.  Changes to the parent disk invalidate all the child disk.
    Do you have a backup of the original parent disk?

  • SCVMM and "Virtual Hard disks" directory

    Hello,
    We have noticed that Virtual Machines created using SCVMM doesn't create "Virtual Hard Disks" directory and puts the VHDX files into the Virtual Machine data root.
    But if VM are created using Hyper-V defaults values this directory is created.
    How can we set/define SCVMM to use also this directory?
    We would like to have the same directory structure when VM are created, and the usage of "Virtual Hard disks" directory is quite clean directory sctructure.
    Best Regards.

    To add - the feedback from the majority of folks is that they expect / prefer the way that SCVMM does this and wish that Hyper-V would do it this way by default.  (each VM neatly in its own folder and not spread across the Hyper-V Server file system
    is what most folks prefer.)
    As Samir mentioned, only performing disk move actions in SCVMM or using PowerShell to drive the SCVMM deployment (and defining more granular settings) would change this default action.
