Hyper-V Question -- Running Hyper-V or VMWare on a Windows Virtual Server

So my research tells me there likely is not a way to do this, but I think someone must have run into it before or there has been a previous need.
We have recently had two Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard virtual machines created for our use in our data center. We are using them to run a series of web scanning and monitoring tools. We want to run these tools within various Windows OS environments
with different combinations of browsers/applications/etc, making VMs the obvious way to go (preferably multiple VMs per virtual server). I don't know much about the virtual data center here, but when I try to enable Hyper-V, the system tells me it is
running and cannot run within itself. Likewise, if I try to install VMWare, it tells me it is not compatible with Hyper-V.
This may be akin to asking for Inception, but is there a way around it? Does anyone know of a way to run a VM inside a virtual server, or does anyone see an alternate solution? So far the only one I've come up with is to requisition physical
servers, install Windows Server 2012 on each, and then use a single level of either Hyper-V or VMWare to create the virtual machines we need.
Any information is greatly appreciated.

I think you might be missing something here.
You have Server Standard installed on the Bare metal. Then you add the Hyper-V Role. Then you open the Hyper-V Management Console and you begin creating VMs.
You do not add the Hyper-V Role within a virtual machine (VM).
The same process goes for VMware (ESX) - You install ESX on the bare metal, then you open the manager and you create VMs.
Now, if all you have are two VMs (which your first statement sounds like) you cannot enable Hyper-V in the VMs and then run nested VMs in that VM. This just does not work today.
XenServer can do this in a real way, but only with x86 paravirtualized Linux machines. And ESX can do this with some very specific emulation settings - and at that your eyes probably just glazed over.
To do this right, you need the physical machines.

VMWare: 1 Oracle installation per virtual server, or 1 separate install

The scenario is that we are going to put our support benches on VMware.
The question is: should we have 1 oracle installation per virtual server or a separate virtual server for oracle.
If we go for the 1 oracle installation per virtual server, this mimics our customer environment.
If we install oracle separately, then we have to run two virtual machines. One for Oracle(with one instance per customer) and one for the Product which connects to the appropriate instance.
Looking at it I'm inclined to go for the 1 orcale installation per virtual server, as this will allow for easier maintenance and upgrade paths.
Apart form disk space , are there any other drawbacks?
Are there any advantages to having oracle on a separate virtual machine?

VMWare is not supported for Oracle, so if this is to mimic a customer environment, then you should be aware of this. In my personal experience I have not seen any noticeable difference from the testing and learning point of view.
Installing Oracle on VMWare at the end of the day will consume the resources of the server where the VM is hosted, so it is all up to the CPU and memory resources you have in your host server. A drawback is the hard disk speed, the lower the more noticeable performance reduction, so be aware of this. It is advisable, you should make sure you have installed the VMWare tools.

Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
-install using the plugin
-install using LVRTE.exe
-install after rebooting the server
But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
Thanks for your help
Cyrille

Cyrille,
What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
setup.exe/l*v
This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
Thanks

Virtual server questions

Hi,
My objective is to create a virtual server for www.anothercompany.com on the same port 80. The instance has by default www.mycompany.com running.
1] While creating the virtual server, I should enter a URL Host. What is this? Should it be www.anothercompany.com or the host where the web server is running on?
2] how to configure each virtual server to have its own server.xml, obj.conf, and other configuration files?
thanks

I recently did this on a solaris system.
Here are the steps:
Get a new IP address for server
Add the additional IP address to system interface
cd /etc
ls /etc/hostname.* (this gives you the type which I will use ## )
edit /etc/hosts to add new IP and name
cp /etc/hostname.## /etc/hostname.##:1
edit /etc/hostname.##:1 to be name in host table
ifconfig ##:1 plumb
ifconfig ##:1 information (IP netmask broadcast etc)
ifconfig ##:1 up
Modify existing webserver so it no longer uses 0.0.0.0
admin console - edit listen sockets
select socket (ls0, ls1, etc)
modify IP from 0.0.0.0 to IP of original webserver
apply changes
Add new webserver specifying new IP address in socket
Since it has a different IP, you can use port 80 without problems

Cannot run the big size exe file ( 900MB) on Windows Storage Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS(Hyper-V VM machine)

When I run a big size exe file(>900 MB) on Windows Storage Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS VM mchine(which is managered by Hyper-V server), I got the following error message:
Windows cannot open this program because the license enforcement system has been tampered with or become corrupted.
This setup.exe should be a trusted source because of it run other OS(windows 2003, windows 2008, 2008 R2 etc.). we use the same way to create the exe whose size < 700MB, it works fine on the same machine(Windows Storage
Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS VM machine). So I assume that the file size(>900MB) causes the problem, It seems that OS dont' support it.
My questions:
1. Is there the limitation of exe size to run on Windows
Storage Server 2003 x86 SP2 OS VM machine? If yes, what is the size of limitation?
2. What reason is this error? Is it related with Hyper-V?
Thanks,
Recky

Did you install the 2003 VM from scratch or did you create it via a P2V process? In addition to what Shaon says about not all applications running properly in VMs, performing P2V to create VMs can also cause issues with a variety of things.
First thing to check would be Shaon's suggestion to try it in another VM. If it works in another VM, and you P2V'ed this VM, try creating your Storage Server VM from scratch and try again. Better yet, if the application can be run on a later version
of the OS, create a 2012 Storage Server instead of the 2003 Storage Server as your VM and give it a try.

VMware to Hyper-V template conversion issue for Windows Server 2008 template

Hello,
I am attempting to convert a Windows server 2k8 template from VMware to Hyper-V. The hosts are Cisco UCS B200 M3 blades running Win2k12 and ESX 5.5 respectively. The template boots successfully in VMware and runs through its post install process without
any issues. When I convert the template to Hyper-V the guest will display the windows splash screen and then I get the error "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware”. I attempted to force the OOBE process
by running msoobe.exe from the CLI but got the same error on restart.
The particularly strange thing is that if I boot the syspreped guest in VMware, interrupt the post install process, shutdown the guest, then convert to Hyper-V the guest will boot successfully in Hyper-V. At this point I uninstall the VMware tools, install
the windows virtual guest services, and re-sysprep the guest. Sadly the result is the same, on boot I get "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware”. I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us but
it references Win2k8R2 specifically. Does anyone have any ideas on how this issue could be manifesting itself
in Win2k8?
As an aside I was able to successfully convert a Win2k8R2 template successfully using the same process, any input on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Toll_Hou5e

Hi Toll_Hou5e,
As far as I know there don’t have the KB or article mention we can convert the VMware template image to VHD, you can use the MVMC for the virtual machine convert.
I don’t familiar with VMware template but base on my experience, the VMware View Connection template can execute the Windows template image sysprep program, VMware may configured
some system option, you can ask your software vendor for the further help.

Can we recover SCCM 2012 R2 site Servers and SQL DB from hyper V or Vmware VM snapshot

Hi Folks
Can we recover SCCM 2012 R2 site Servers and SQL DB from hyper V or Vmware VM snapshot
if yes is there any challenges or any document available from Microsoft on Hyper V SCCM VM snapshot recovery.

I've made it work and it "should" work. However it's not the best practice method of site recovery. You should recover using a SQL restore.
See good example
http://anoopcnair.com/2012/07/01/sccm-configmgr-2012-primary-site-server-and-database-recovery-part-1/
Note that you should be using snapshots only on occasions when you are carrying out a risky operation. You can revert it the operation fails. It is not a substitute for a robust backup solution.

Hyper-V 2012 High Availability using Windows Server 2012 File Server Storage

Hi Guys,
Need your expertise regarding hyper-v high availability. We setup 2 hyper-v 2012 host in our infra for our domain consolidation project. Unfortunately, we don't have hardware storage that is said to be a requirement that we can use to create a failover cluster
for hyper-v host to implement HA. Here's the setup:
Host1
HP Proliant L380 G7
Windows Server 2012 Std
Hyper-V role, Failover Cluster Manager and File and Storage Services installed
Host2
Dell PowerEdge 2950

I'm able to configure the new feature about Shared Nothing Live Migration - i'm able to move VM's back and fort between my hosts without storage. But this is planned and proactive approach. My concern is to have my hyper-v host to become highly available in
the event of system failure. If my host1 dies, the VMs should go/move to host2 and vice versa. In setting this up, i believe i need to enable the failover clustering between my hyper-v hosts which i already did but upon validation, it says "No disks
were found on which to perform cluster validation tests." Is it possible to cluster it using just a regular windows file server? I've read about SMB 3.0 and i've configured it as well i'm able to save VMs on my file server, but i don't think that my hyper-v
hosts are already highly available.
Any feedback and suggestions or recommendation is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Your shared storage is a single point of failure with this scenario so I would not consider the whole setup as a production configuration... Also setup is both slow (all I/O is travelling down the wire to storage server, running VMs from DAS is ages faster)
and expensive (third server + extra Windows license). I would think twice about what you do and either deploy a built-in VM replication technologies (Hyper-V Replica) and apps built-in clustering features that does not require shared storage (SQL Server and
Database Mirroring for example, BTW what workload do you run?) or use some third-party software creating fault tolerant shared storage from DAS or investing into physical shared storage hardware (HA one of course).
Hi VR38DETT,
Thanks for responding. The hosts will cater a domain controller (on each host), Web filtering software (Websense), Anti-Virus (McAfee ePO), WSUS and an Auditserver as of the moment. Is the Hyper-V Replica somewhat give "high availability" to VMs or Hyper-V
hosts? Also, is the cluster required in order to implement it? Haven't tried that but worth a try.

Adding Hyper-V/RemoteFX vGPU support to an installed server

I'm looking for advice from the community and/or MS support folks:
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server installed on hardware (that supports the required VT-d, SLAT, etc features) running & stable in a single-server environment. Now I'd need to add support for hosting Hyper-V virtual machines on the
server.
Server 2012 apparently does not allow installing Hyper-V server directly onto the server when the server is the PDC. There seems to be two primary ways to slice this server into virtualized units.
1) Implement a hyper-visor 'under' the existing OS:
My understanding is that the my R2 Essentials license allows me to create two instances of the server, one virtualization host and one client running on the host. Originally I attempted to set up the server this way, but the process was non-trivial
to say the least - apparently this is really only enabled for OEMs and end-users are left to struggle with creating a custom install image. I gave up on that due to time & technical limitations.
Is there a way of performing a 'P2V' operation on the server and installing a Hyper-V hypervisor underneath the server OS without perturbing it's running environment too much? My guess is that hardware changes detected by the guest (server) OS will
put my storage array at risk, and I need to avoid that at all costs; are there ways to mitigate the risks?
2) Leave the existing server as-is (not virtualized), install Hyper-V, install a 2nd copy of Server 12R2E into a VM, migrate the PDC into the VM:
Will this allow the server to host RemoteFX sessions now that it's not the PDC?
Will I encounter licensing issues when taking this path?
3) Are people having better luck using ESXi, XEN, etc to bypass the server limitations?
Thanks in advance,
3Dad

Hi 3Dad,
To install hyper-v role with Server 2012 R2 Essentials server, I recommend you can install a Hyper-v Host and migrate the Server 2012 R2 Essentials server to vm in Hyper-v.
I think you can configure RemoteFX for Hyper-V now without Active Directory Domain Controller installed:
Hyper-V: Avoid Installing RemoteFX on a Computer that is Configured
as an Active
Directory Domain Controller
I also find a similar disscussion about the method 1 you posted is for your reference:

0x80070569 Error When Creating Second Virtual server in Hyper-v 2012

I get this error when I try to create a second VM from Hyper-v Manager on windows 8 / server 2012 / server 2008 R2.
Hyper-v is running on a new install of server 2012 core.
I was able to create the first VM (server 2012 with a GUI) and is running fine.
I have tried adding the local administrator account to the logon as a batch job and doing a gpupdate /force with not luck.
Both the server 2012 core and the server 2012 VM are joined to the same domain. I am logged into server 2012 and server 2008 R2 as the domain administrator.
Any ideas would help!

Hi,
Error Message: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer, this problem typically occurs when the user does not have the permissions to log on locally on the computer.
By default, members of the Users group have the ability to log on locally, but an administrator can deny the right to specific user or group accounts. An explicitly denied right always overrides an allowed right.
This can be caused by either of the following:
Neither the user account nor any of the groups it belongs to has been granted the Allow log on locally user right.
The user account or one or more of the groups it is a member of has been listed in the Deny log on locally user right.
Ensure that the user, or a group the user belongs to has the right to log on locally. Ensure that the user, and all groups that the user belongs to, are not denied the right to log on locally.
Also, have you tied to restart to restart the Hyper-V host server? Restart it and check the result.

Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'Machinename': Incorrect funciton. (0x8007001)

When enabling replication on several VM's, I receive Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine "virtualmachinename": Incorrect funciton. (0x8007001). However this error doesn't happen to all VM's and it isn't related to any
particular host.
I've traced this down to a VSS error, however when running ">vssadmin list providers", I receive the following indicating there are no errors:

Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

I have a 3 node cluster that has replica setup to replicate to another cluster off-site.
Suddenly one of the servers is not replicating with the error:
Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE). (Virtual Machine ID CC0FD4CC-F9B7-4C68-ABE8-B7D52A87899F)
All other servers are replicating fine so there cannot be a permissions or connectivity issue between the 2 clusters.
This server has 2TB of data so I'd rather not have to start the replication again.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks.

Hi drensta,
Based on my knowledge , "hyper-v replica broker " is needed for failover cluster replica .
Here is a link for "Why is the "Hyper-V Replica Broker" required?"

Can't connect to the Hyper-V manager after upgrading to Windows Hyper-V 2012 R2

I have some Hyper-V server based on the free version (Windows Hyper-V 2012). I want to upgrade to the new version (Windows Hyper-V 2012 R2). So I begin to test it with
an already working server (aka I was able to totally manager the server remotely without problem) and so upgrade it to the R2.
After the upgrade, remote management and Hyper-V manager does not work anymore. So I redo my usual configuration steps (enable remote management, open firewall, uses
latest hvremote.wsf, etc.). I was able to regain access to Computer Manager but not the Hyper-V manager which still can't connect at all. I can't access the Task Scheduler too without having a lot of XML error like "The task XML contains a value which
is incorrectly formatted or out of range" (see below for screenshot).
Is there a new step to do to be able to manage Hyper-V 2012 R2 from a Windows 7 computer?
It's not a network problem as I can access RDP and MMC Computer Manager.
To be sure the problem is coming from the R2, I have taken an old computer, install Windows Hyper-V 2012, do my usual configuration step, and
tada: it works perfectly. I can access the Hyper-V manager from my client.
Technical details:
- Client is a Windows 7 SP1 x64 English member of a domain with latest RSAT (Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu).
- Servers are in a workgroup (not a domain's member). And no, I can't add them to the same domain as the client.

HI,
Can we upgrade HyperV 2012 to hyper v 2012 R2.
Thanks

Solaris won't run in VMware 5 on Windows XP Professional

I tried to install Solaris 10 in VMware 5 to see what it was like.
Upon booting from the first x86-x64 CD, I selected the first installation type.
After a couple of seconds it stopped, with a message that said that it needs PAE (Physical Address Extension).
Now, both my current OSes (Windows XP Professional & Mandriva Linux 2005 LE) support PAE, as does my processor (AMD Sempron 2800+), but it isn't enabled.
Does anyone know how to fix this so I run Solaris 10 in VMware 5, or should I just partition my drive and install Solaris 10 directly onto it.
My system is running on a MSI K8MM-V motherboard with the K8M800 chipset, 1GB of TwinMOS PC3200 DDR RAM, an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor, an ATI Radeon X700 graphics card, a 200GB HDD, a LG DVD-Multi Format drive and a 600W Jeantech Arctic power supply.
Please help!!

You need to run the 32-bit kernel:
