Hyper-V V2P Windows 2012 DC

Hi All,
Currently my Primary DC and additional DC are running on Microsoft hyper-V, can i V2P Windows 2012 additional DC from Microsoft Hyper-V to physical server?
Any preparation or concern?

Interesting - I don't find any references to V2P in the URL listed above.
My recommendation is to simply create a new physical if you really want to have a physical. If you are following DC best practices, there should be no problem with DCs being virtual, though. But in the amount of time it would take to convert
and fix up a V2P (I have not heard any good success stories about a clean conversion - always lots of post-conversion cleanup required), you could easily have a physical DC built.

BIOS Policies for Hyper-V and Windows 2012

Hello,
Can someone please post the details and configurations regarding the recommended boot policies for the following:
1) Hyper-V (no SRIOV)
2) Bare-bones Windows 2012
Or a document from Cisco/MS.
Thanks

This is all I could find on TechNet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831410.aspx#BKMK_simpleauth
AzMan is deprecated, but appears to still function the same for Hyper-V 2012.
Simplified authorization
The Hyper-V Administrators group is introduced and is implemented as a local security group.
What value does this change add?
This group can reduce the number of users that belong to the local Administrators group while providing users with access to Hyper-V.
What works differently?
The Hyper-V Administrators group is a new local security group. Add users to this group instead of the local Administrators group to provide them with access to Hyper-V. Members of the Hyper-V Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to
all features of Hyper-V.

How to configure automatic start option of the Hyper-V role (Windows 2012 R2)

Hi,
If there a way to configure the automatic start up option of each Virtual Machine?
I know that you can't use the VMM settings to setup the Automatic Start action, and the Cluster Hyper-V setting only specify the "shutdown" action.
How can I make sure that after a an event like a power recovery affecting all my node that all my Hyper-V role will be started?Thank

Hi,
You can set the guest vm start up after your host computer start up, if you want to specific the guest vm start up order please refer the following related article:

Windows 2008 r2 guests blue screen on Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with e5 2670-v2 processors

Hello all,
We have a new hyper-v infrastructure deployed in two brand new Dell R720 Servers with 384GB of Memory and dual Intel e5 2670-v2 processors. This infrastructure is replacing an existing hyper-v 2008 R2 and all the guests are being migrated to this new cluster.
The issue we are seeing is our 2008 r2 guests blue screening ocasionally with 0x0000001a,0x0000004e or 0x00000050 bugchecks.
All this guests are configured with dynamic memory and with the integration components up to date. These same guests were running with no problems in the hyper-v 2008r2 cluster.
When searching i found this article from vmware that pretty much describes what we are facing:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2073791
Are you aware of the same problem with this kindd of hardware on windows 2012 r2 hyper-v?
Thanks!
Nuno Carvalho

Meanwhile i found this May 2014 update on the intel specification of the CPU we are using:
CA135 Incorrect Page Translation when EPT is enabled
Problem:
If EPT (Extended Page Tables) is enabled, then a complex sequence of internal processor events may result in unexpected page faults or use of incorrect page translations.
Implication:
Due to this erratum a guest may crash or experience unpredictable system behavior.
Workaround:
It is possible for the BIOS to contain a workaround for this erratum.
Status:
For the affected steppings, see the
Summary Tables of Changes.
This affects VMware as of the today update of the article i referenced in the first post, what about hyper-v?

How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?

Hi ,
anybody know How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?
I want to create lab but i couldn't I follow this article but the new VM is off
http://blogs.technet.com/b/gbanin/archive/2013/06/26/how-to-install-hyper-v-on-a-virtual-machine-in-hyper-v.aspx
one of hyper-v component is not running
thanks

Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.

Hi frineds
i am looking for a link or document to find out the limitations of hyper-v in windows 8.1 in comparison with windows 2012 R2. but i was unable to find a good link.
may someone please help ?

check out the "Client Hyper-V Survival Guide"
http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/hh857623.aspx
There a few features included in Windows Server Hyper-V that are not included in Client Hyper-V. These include:
Remote FX capability to virtualize GPUs (software GPU in RDP 8)
Live VM migration
Hyper-V Replica
SR-IOV networking
Synthetic fibre channel.
Shared VHDx

Problem Intalling hyper-v Windows 2012 R2 on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine

First Try:
I am trying to install hyper-v Windows server 2012 from the Microsoft site below on to a Windows 8.1 Pro using Hyper-V Manager.
The Windows 2012 R2 ISO I downloaded from the link at the bottom of the screen.
I am downloading and copying this ISO to CD. In hyper-v manager, right pane, I am clicking New, Virtual Machine, Next, Name (2012 R2), check the box “Store the virtual machine in a different location (F:\Windows 2012 R2), which is
a partition that will used for all my hyper-v OSs. Click Next, select Generation 2, Next, Startup memory 512 with box checked “Use Dynamic Memory for this virtual machine, Next, Configure Network connection (chose my virtual switch I setup
in Virtual Switch Manager, Next. For Connect Hard Disk, I chose “Create virtual hard disk, and went with the defaults. Clicked Next, and in Installation Options, I chose “Install an operating system from a bootable image file (media Image
file (iso) – browsed to my DVD device and chose the saved iso), and then clicked Finish button.
The virtual machine “2012 R2” appeared in the off state. I double clicked it to open the virtual machine, and clicked the start button.
Received Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device.
PXE Network using IPv4 ……..
PXE-E18: Server response Timeout.
Boot Failed. EFI Network
Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device.
No Operating System was Loaded.
Press a key to retry the boot sequence…..
http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/product-training/windows-server
Second Try:
I did the same process but changed select Generation 2 to Generation 1, and browsed to the ISO saved on my HDD rather than from a CD.
This time the Windows 2012 installed, but came up with a blue screen with the time showing in big numbers, and the words “Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to sign in.
When I clicked Ctrl-Alt-Del: the PC screen cleared and showed selections (Lock, Switch User, Sign Out, Task Manager).
I tried to switch user to my Microsoft Account, but it only redisplayed the previous blue screen with time ect…
Bill Thompson, [email protected]

You mount the ISO file directly to the VM, stored on the local disk.
If you mount the ISO and boot into a VM you should not get a logon prompt - you should get the ISO boot prompt to install and if you fail to respond the VHD is booted.
I am suspecting you have a corrupt download of the ISO.

Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server Boot cannot boot normally

I have a Windows 2012 R2 server with Hyper-V role installed.
The server will automatically reboot every few weeks.
Every time it reboot, the server will boot into the below screen instead of normally boot into windows.
I will need to manually startup the server in front of it.
Are there any ways to bypass the below "Choose an option" page?

Hi TM Yung,
It seems the data in event viewer is crushed, so I recommend to troubleshoot this issue firstly to show the right content of the event id 41, then investigate the reboot issue depending on this even.
Please make sure you logon with Administrator and check if the related .evtx file exists under the path C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs.
If the steps above can't work, please also try a clean boot in case of the installed driver causes this issue.
To perform a clean boot, please follow this article, after troubleshooting, please refer to this section "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to start server normally:
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Teaming with Windows 2012 DC (Datacenter Edition) Hyper V Host servers

HI
We are preparing 2 Windows 2012 R2 DC edition servers, each of them has 4 NICs, planning to configure both HV host and guest clustering. One NIC will be used for host / HV management and Host cluster traffic, other 3 NICs will be configured in a
single team. These 3 NICs are connected to 2 differenet switches and our intention is to utilize the full bandwidhth. Teaming is configured as Switch Independent / Dynamic load balancing mode. Is this the right configuration? Also each of the VMs
will configured in different VLANs through VLAN IDs.
Thansk in advance
LMS

Hi,
Although we do not recommend this, you can enable domain controllers as a cluster node in Windows Server versions earlier than Windows Server 2012. However, starting with
Windows Server 2012, we no longer support this configuration. We do not support combining the AD DS role and the failover cluster feature in Windows Server 2012.
At same time we don’t recommend install other role with Hyper-V with on the same server.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to Migrate Live VMs from a Windows 2012 Hyper-V Cluster to a different 2012 R2 Cluster?

At the moment I'm in a bit of dilemma because I know that Windows 2012 supports "Shared Nothing Live Migration" but recently I got to know that this feature is available for stand alone Hyper-V Servers. My Setup is that I have
3 Servers running Windows Server 2012 Hyper-v Failover Cluster and I need to migrate everything to a new cluster running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and offcourse some VMs can't be turned off during migration so I need to do this live during production hours.
Another note is that both clusters will be running on the different LUNs since each cluster has its own CSVs. I need to know if it is possible to migrate such VMs/Roles Live without have any downtime of the VMs/Roles?

Yes, but one exception - live migration works only on "compatible cpu's". There actually is a setting in CPU for forcing compatibility
mode. If that is not set, and you mvoe for example from AMD to Intel, then - this is not possible in live migration, cluster or not.

Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V event id's 20144 and 15130

Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V.
After installing the May 2014 MS updates we can no longer start any of the guest VM's. When attempting to start a VM the following is logged in the event logs:
Event id 20144 from Hyper-V-VMMS "Failed to start the virtual machine XYZ' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running" and
Event id 15130 from Hyper-V-VMMS "XYZ' failed to start"
We've looked at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2761004/en-us and as far as we see the I/O verification option in Driver Verifier is disabled.   We also uninstalled the May
2014 updates that we applied just before the problem started but this did not make a difference.
Help please.

Hi,
I don’t found the similar issue when update, but from the event id, it seems is the incompatible hardware driver, please try to update all your hardware driver and firmware.
Or you can try the following example command to confirm your Hyper-V service is running or not.

High Page Pool Memory Usage on a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster

Hi,
may someone has a similar Problem or can give me a helping Hand.
I'm having a 9Node Cluster ( Windows 2012 R2 , fully Patched from RTM Version on )
The Cluster is connected to a SAN which is an Equallogic ( Firmware 6.11). HitKit Driver 4.7.1
The System running clean and without any Event Logs until the Page Pool Usage of the Nodes turn over 15 GB of Paged pool Memory.
I monitore that via a Performance Counter ( \Memory\Pool Paged Bytes)
otherwise I have no indication by for example the Process View, the Calculated Sum on the Overview ( TaskManager / Memory ) but shows on the contraditory the 15GB an Memory Usage.
I downloaded the RAMMap Tool from Sysinternals but that doesnt show me any possible Information for the information , acutally the Information differs from RAMMap to the Performance Counter ( RAMMap = 251MB, Performance Counter = 15GB )
Just to make that point clear , there is No Information beside the Sum of Page File on the System Page and the PerfCounter that so much Page Pool Memory is used by any Process . Therefor it is hidden which process "needs" it.
I tried many thinks , like search for a Memory Hole in the Drivers , Hyper-V Stack , Equallogic and hoped for resolution with any new Patch which had a "Memory Leak" Information to them , but so far none has made a difference , maybe someone
has the same Problem.
My Cluster has routher large VMs on it compared to the Numa Seize ( VM 4-128GB, on DELL R720 ( 2x CPU (8C) 384GB RAM )
( The VMs have also a High IO Usage , as there RAM is used as a RAM Database ( zb. Mongo DB ) )
Regards
M

Hi Alex,
there is something wrong here and not an "normal" Memory Leak , as for that reason I would see the amount of Page Pool Memory assigned to a given Process.
If that would be the Case I could use RAMMap or even Vmmap to adresse the Paged Pool usage, but those Tools dont reflect the Usage like the PerfCounter does.
The Windows Driver Kit for a 2012 R2 System is WDK 8.1 which has a necessity of VS2013 ( Important: Before
installing WDK 8.1 Update, you need to install Visual Studio 2013. See the Visual Studio links on this page.) My Last Hope was to get poolmon.exe and identify the Source for the "Paged Pool" Usage .
We are having that Problem now since the Early Days of Windows 2012R2 and because the Usage is quite "hidden" we only found out , when we ran out of Memory without knowing why.
Worst Usage Rates where up to 150GB of Paged Pool !! given a RAM 385GB ( Dell R720) that is quite a Number.
Im wondering if noone else with a cluster ( seems that the Node numbers in a Cluster and the "RAM" Seize of the VM ( >32GB ) have a tremendous impact on that given Problem , with a 4 Node Cluster the Problem isnt so big )
