Hyper-V VM is losing external connection to Internet

Issue:
The VM's is losing network connectivity to the external network over the virtual switch when creating a third or fourth VM. Sometimes even local connectivity is missing, but not always.
Scenario:
HP ProLiant ML350p Gen8
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard with Hyper-V
1 NIC for management, 1 NIC for VM's (HP Ethernet 1G 4-port 331i adapter, driver version 16.6.0.4.)
LAB environment on separate subnet for 'proof or concept' with no user load - yet!
Things I've tried:
Update NIC to the latest available official driver on HPs webpage. No change. 
Alternating settings for 'Virtual Machines Queue' in NIC driver settings. No change
Replaced physical firewall. No change.
Firmware update using HP intelligent Provisioning (sufficient?). No change.
Replaced physical switch. VM can now connect to external network (!?)
Workaround:
I've found out that changing physical switch will restore connectivity. However, loss of connectivity will occur again after creating another VM - until the switch is replaced once again.
I alternate between two switches; Dell PowerConnection 2816 and D-Link DGS-1008G. I know the D-link is a consumer switch (HP enterprise switches awaiting, but doubt it will matter) but it should work for now.
Question:
I'm not completely comfortable with putting this hypervisor in production with this irrational behavior and my question is if anybody else has encountered similar problems and if so how did you resolve it permanently?

Hi Essen,
>>The VM's is losing network connectivity to the external network over the virtual switch when creating a third or fourth VM.
Sometimes even local connectivity is missing, but not always.
According to the description , the first thing I want to do is to check if there is "MAC conflict"  .
"Local connectivity" means "management NIC " ?
Also I suggest you to test  whether or not these VMs connecting to same external virtual switch can access each other when the issue arises .
Any further information please let us know .
Best Regards,

  • Randomly losing network connection over wireless

    Shortly after installing the 10.4.5 software update, my G4 iBook with built-in Airport Extreme card has been losing connection with increasing frequency. Built-in Ethernet use is unaffected. I'm calling this problem thrash-and-drop.
    1. When it's losing signal, processor activity goes through the roof. I had Activity Monitor running during a thrash-and-drop. kernel_task CPU consumption goes from under 1% before the event, to over 80% during the thrashing, and back under 1% after the thrashing stops. The activity is so bad the cursor can't be controlled: using the track pad sends the pointer all over the screen or nowhere at all.
    2. This has been observed to occur with two different wireless base stations: A Linksys WRT54G and an older SMC 802.11b router. Either router is within 10 feet of the computer. Only one is running at a time. There are no other base stations in range.
    3. Another iBook G4 (OS 10.3, Airport Extreme card (not built-in)), sitting next to it, shows no change and its wireless behavior is unaffected.
    Initially, this seemed more likely to happen when Safari was loading Flash-heavy pages. And after thrashing and dropping a connection, it was able to reconnect after either a reboot or a five minute sleep. Currently, it can't connect to a base station for more than a minute. Most recently, it thrashed and dropped while I was selecting the base station to use. This is true regardless of the application running. In fact, it will thrash-and-drop when there are no user applications running at all, after a fresh reboot.
    I've tried the following things to address the problem. None have affected the thrash-and-drop problem. Admittedly, most of this is random:
    1. Back up and delete network preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    2. Turn off IPv6 in System Preferences/Network
    3. Back up and delete network preferences in ~/Library/Preferences (com.apple.NetInfoManager.plist and com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist)
    Has anybody else seen this problem? I want to blame it on the 10.4.5 upgrade but I haven't seen anybody else complaining about 10.4.5 doing this to them. If there's something I can do to fix this in a software setting, I'd much prefer that to yet another roadtrip to the Apple store.

    Hi!
    I have the same problem of randomly losing network connection over wireless, though mine is hardly related to surfing.
    I have an external storage drive in which I use for backup of my stuff, and I access the drive via my modem, using the airport. Of late, I noticed that when copying files from my iBook to the external drive, the connection would suddenly drop before the transfer is completed. This began to occur with increasing frequency, particularly when transferring large files.
    I have since abandoned wireless connection, and reverted to my trusty cable. Still, I admit that I'm really curious about the cause of the apparent lack of reliability with my wireless connection. Has it something to do with the airport?

    I see.
    1. 192.168.0.0 addresses are not routable across the public Internet. Even if the whole world knows you're using that space, the information is useless. But if you feel better hiding it, OK.
    2. Internal doesn't allow communications with a physical network either. Only the external type does.
    3/4. Your problem is not really with Hyper-V. It's with IP.
    Your machines are all able to communicate with each other because they're on the same switch and the same subnet. No gateway is required. If you have a computer with an IP of 192.168.1.8 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then it will be able to communicate
    with any computer on the same switch with an IP of 192.168.1.anything. It's when they need to talk to computers off of that subnet (anything that doesn't fit the 255.255.255 mask) that they have a problem. For that, you need a gateway somewhere. You can't
    use "DC" for the gateway because it's not performing routing services.
    You have two choices.
    One is to use an external switch so that your guests are directly connected into your physical network. That will take over your WiFi adapter, so you'll probably want to set the share option so your Win8.1 box continues to function. Then just use a common
    IP subnet with everything else on your home network.
    The second is to set up a software router. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then this has to be in the Win8 environment. I might be mistaken, but I think that
    Internet Connection Sharing would even work for this. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then your Win8 system should see two (or more) adapters. One of them is the physical adapter (we'll call it wNetAdapter) and one would be the virtual adapter
    (we'll call it vNetAdapter) it uses on the virtual switch. Once you set up ICS, you would have all of your VMs use the IP address that you assigned to vNetAdapter as their gateway.

  • External Connection Pool - No Available Connections

    I am using Toplink 9.0.4 in an application deployed on WebLogic 7. Toplink is configured to use an external connection pool.
    Under heavy load we sometimes exhaust the connection pool. When this occurs we start to get failures when trying to acquire connections.
    It appears that when Toplink tries to obtain a connection from the pool and none are available the attempt immediately fails with an exception. What we would prefer to happen is for the thread to block and wait for a connection to become available.
    Do you know of any way to produce this behavior? Is there a way to configure Toplink so this occurs?
    Alternatively is there a practical way to produce this behavior by implementing logic in a ServerSession exception handler? We have implemented an exception handler that handles dropped and stale database connections, but I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to handle a failure retrieving a connection from the external pool.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Well I have tried but I am unable to write an effective exception handler that can recover from an exception retrieving a connection from an external pool. I wrote the following handler and attached it to the ServerSession.
         public Object handleException(RuntimeException exception) throws DatabaseException{
              if(exception instanceof DatabaseException){
                   DatabaseException dbex = (DatabaseException)exception;
                   String exceptionMessage = dbex.getMessage();
                   if(exceptionMessage != null && exceptionMessage.indexOf("No available connections in pool") >= 0){
                        try{
                             Thread.sleep(5000);                    
                        }catch(InterruptedException e){}
                        oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session session = null;
                        session = serverSession.acquireClientSession();
                        dbex.setSession(session);
                        if(session != null){
                             DatabaseQuery query = dbex.getQuery();
                             if(query != null){
                                  return session.executeQuery(query);
                             }else{
                                  return null;
                        throw exception;
                   }else{
                        throw exception;
              }else{
                   throw exception;
    It works sometimes but other times I get strange errors when executing the query. I know the mappings are good, the queries succeed under normal circumstances. The following error is commmon:
    Exception Description: The parameter name [UNIQUE_ID] in the query's selection criteria does not match any parameter name defined in the query.
    The other problem I have is the recursive nature of the exception handling. If calling ServerSession.acquireClientSession() in the exception handler causes an exception, I end up in another exception handler. It's not clear which instance should execute and return the query in this case.
    Any suggestions or examples of exception handlers for this situation are appreciated.

  • Doubts concerning External Connection Pool

    A few questions:
    1. How can I set up an external connection pool with toplink? or in another words, assuming that I have successfully configured a connection pool (and a datasource) on my weblogic app-server, how do I configure Toplink to use the same?
    2. I am trying to achieve the above (refer point 1), by defining my custom connector (by extending TOPLink.Public.Sessions.DefaultConnector). The custom connector provides connections using the dataSource.getConnection(). Now, the question is
    - Where will the pooling happen in this case? i.e. Will Toplink use its own connection pool (populate its own connection pool with container managed data source), and issue connections (container managed) from there or will it make use of the container managed pooling (and ask for connections from the container managed pool, as and when required)? The subtle difference being, weblogic will not be able to validate a connection before issue in the former case.
    3. This question is similar to point 2, but talks in terms of a practical example. Assuming that if I am using the custom connector successfully in my code, then if I pull out the network cord and reconnect again, I expect the container to provide me with a valid connection (as weblogic can be configured to perform a validity check on a connection before issuing). I am getting a 'connection reset by peer' error in my application (indicating that either the container fails to provide a valid connection, or toplink does not use the container managed pool effectively). I guess, Toplink still uses its own pool but this time it is pooling container managed dataSources. Since the connections are issued from Toplink and not container, here is no validation/reconnection happening for the connection, before issue. Please comment if I am thinking in the right direction or not. If not, how you can explain the above failure?
    4. My aim is to utilise the container's connection pool, and Toplink's ability to perform the rest of the things (including transactions). Is that possible?

    Vikas,
    TopLink can easily be configured to use the external connection pool of an server. This can be accomplished with API but more commonly using the sessions.xml configuration file for the SessionManager. In the product we ship examples for WLS that make use of data sources configured in the server. The portion of the sessions.XML file in question is:
              <login>
                   <user-name>weblogic</user-name>
                   <password>weblogic</password>
                   <datasource>java:comp/env/jdbc/ejbJTSDataSource</datasource>
                   <non-jts-datasource>java:comp/env/jdbc/ejbNonJTSDataSource</non-jts-datasource>
                   <uses-external-transaction-controller>true</uses-external-transaction-controller>
                   <uses-external-connection-pool>true</uses-external-connection-pool>
              </login>
              <external-transaction-controller-class>oracle.toplink.jts.wls.WebLogicJTSExternalTransactionController</external-transaction-controller-class>
    This sets TopLink up with both data source access to the JTA and non-JTA connection pools. The full example also includes a domain where the data source is configured.
    When TopLink is using the connection pool of the server (external connection pooling) it will not pool its own connections. TopLink will request a connection from the pool each time one is required and release it back when done. This leaves the server responsible for the number of connections available and also for supporting database re-connection.

  • IMac keeps losing network connection

    My iMac keeps losing the connection to my AirPort very sporadically, but very often. I keep having to open Network Assistant, choose the AirPort and the network, and re-enter the password. I then get a message that my network connection appears to be working correctly, which it then is. This could happen several times in a few hours.
    I have tried creating a new network, but it still happens. We have 6 other devices on this network and do not have a problem with those devices.
    Any advice?

    in the end, i decided to hardwire (using ethernet cables) most of my devices to my router (time capsule) in order to avoid interference alltogether.
    also, there could be closed (hidden) networks around that only KisMac would be able to pick up.
    lastly, as the read about *wireless interference* revealed, there are other sources that could interfere with your network performance: microwave ovens, cordless phones - heck, even enabling bluetooth on your very own Mac could be a source.
    as an alternative to running ethernet cables throughout your place, you could consider *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus losing wireless connectivity, cannot scan to computer

    In our office, we have roughly 4 computers using the HP Officeject Pro 8600 Plus, all of which are connected wirelessly. The printer was previously connected to the internet wirelessly with no problems. A couple of days ago however our computers started randomly disconnecting. The printing function would work for a bit, then disconnect. I found the only solution to this problem was to hit the button on our wireless router that resends the wireless signal out for connectivity. 
    We hardwired the printer with an ethernet cable and I myself didn't see any further problems regarding connectivity but a couple of the other computers had spotty connections.  Again, each time this can be remedied by hitting the button on the wireless router.
    Today  however we had an additional problem, after trying to scan a document through the automatic document feeder, the printer said it was jammed (although it wasnt). When we went to rescan, the scan to computer function was no longer working. I can scan by hitting the scan button on my HP Printer Assitant interface, and I can also scan to email, but cannot scan to computer.
    I have gone through several forums and haven't been able to find a solution. I personally use Windows 8, but other people in our office are using older versions of Windows. We've tried unplugging, restarting, hardwiring, resetting wireless settings, uninstalling, etc. etc. Before a few days ago the pritner was working fine for a number of months.
    If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi rtaw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot scan to computer, and that you are losing wireless connectivity, with your HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus. I am happy to help you with this issue!
    Please take a look through this wireless guide. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.

  • ITS 6.20 (External) connected to a R/3 4.7 Enterprise. We use the EP 7.0

    Hello,
    We have a ITS 6.20 (External) connected to a R/3 4.7 Enterprise. We use the EP 7.0
    We have updated the ITS to the patch 33, beacuse we wanted to see it with the firefox 3.0. But now sometimes the IE7 & IE 8 does no show what it has to.
    Before the update, the firefox did not work but the IE 7 & 8 worked correctly.
    We have used the iTS generator of the EP 7.0 and nothing, it still work incorrectly.
    I want to know if I have to publish always the IAC in the external ITS 6.20.
    Can Someone help me please?
    Best regards.
    Pablo Mortera.

    Hello Thom,
    We did upgrade of R34.7 to ECC 6.0 SR3 EHP3 and we were able to complete this one day downtime. I am not sure about EHP4 but it should not take much longer. I beleive you should be able to accomplish this in weekend.
    My suggestion is to do a system copy of PROD to a sandbox and perform test upgrade. By doing this you will know
    1. what issues you will have during actual upgrade
    2. Tunning that you can do to reduce downtime.
    3. SPDD/SPAU adjustments can be evaluated.
    By repeating couple of iteration on sandbox. You can estimate what would be your downtime and what you can do to reduce it.
    Regards,

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

    My understanding is that a virtual pipe is opened up between the two
    hosts(client and server [server usually being Forte]), and that will
    ensure separation of data that may be inbound to the server from
    multiple hosts. I am not sure what happens if the one client makes
    multiple connections to the host, perhaps a unique handle is created for
    each connection and this will keep the data streams seperate.

    I have read where Forte suggests that for inbound external
    connections, you
    create a single listener task, and for each connection request it
    returns a
    new ExternalConnection to process. My question is fairly simple :
    does
    this mean that in Forte's infinite wisdom it can distinguish between
    two
    different read/write sequences happening at the same time and needing
    processing differently? In essence, are we assured that two different
    streams of data, writing to what they see as the same port, will be
    going
    to the correct processing thread? If so...Cool.

    Select the drive on the desktop and type cmd+i. This opens a window that reports the formatting of the drive. If it's msdos you need to reformat it Mac OS Extended with Apple's Drive Utility found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. You'll lose all of the files, but it will actually work right.

    Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
    It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
    I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
    ie TC name.. TCgen4
    Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
    That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
    Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
    Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.
