Isolated Lab on Hyper-V (Prod) with SCVMM 2012 R2

Hello,
I currently would like to make littla test lab on my Hyper-V 2012 R2 with SCVMM 2012 R2 at work.
Knowing that there is DC in prod on this Hyper-V, I would like to isolate the lab from the prod without loosing internet access.
I did try with a server gateway but no connectivity and a lot of errors.
It is so easy to do witout VMM that I can't understand why it is so difficult now.
Please let me know.
Ollie

You should create a new virtual switch of the type "internal" where the VMs can communicate with the hosts through this switch, and vice versa. Then it will be isolated from the production DC.

    Hi Guillaume Pincon,
    Please first update both server to latest update and turn off the Windows firewall for narrow down this issue then try build the cluster again, one of the cluster create condition is all the servers should have the same software updates (patches) and service
    packs. If all above steps not work please post the second validation error information.

  • Deploy VMs with SCVMM 2012 R2 with Internet connection

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to use SCVMM 2012 R2 to create a network that will eventually hold 2 clouds, but for the moment I can't seem to create the network and connect the VMs to the Internet.
    My lab is this (all hosts are in a LAN, 192.168.0.0/24, gateway 192.168.0.1, and ONLY ONE NIC per HOST ):
    1 host DC, DNS, SQL, SCVMM 2012 R2 (IP 192.168.0.8)
    2 hosts with Hyper-V (IP 192.168.0.9 and 192.168.0.10)
    I'm also planning to create some "virtual" networks for clustering and live migration, which will use the same physical NICs as the management network (since I have only one physical NIC per host).
    Could you please give me a quick guide of how to set this up with SCVMM 2012 R2, so that I can take advantage of the new features (network virtualization, logical networks, logical switch) and for the VMs to be able to reach the Internet?!
    Thank you so much.  

    Thanks for the reply.
    My network architecture is exactly like the one described on your paper, with 2 differences:
    1. I only have one host in the Production group and one host in the Gateway group
    2. The first host has one physical NIC, the second host has 2 NICs, one internal and one with an Internet (routable) IP
    After applying the logical switches on the hosts, I lost Internet connectivity on the gateway host (I have no idea why there is no logical Gateway Switch !!!). VMM completed the jobs with no error.
    Any thoughts?

  • I can't find failover cluster management after creating hyper-v cluster on SCVMM 2012 R2

    I've created a hyper-v cluster on scvmm 2012 r2 but I can't find the failover cluster manager to move storage resources. all hosts are showing to have hyperv role and failover clustering feature installed. disk Witness in Quorum is good, same as for the
    other CSV lun. Please help me Microsoft. Thank you. 

    The management consoles are not getting installed while building the cluster through SCVMM. However, its not mandatory to have the management tools on the server. You can have it on a different machine with this management tools installed and connect to
    this cluster remotely.
    Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

  • Building a Hyper-V Cluster with Server 2012 R2

    I'm building a 3 node Hyper-V cluster with Server 2012 R2.  I create the cluster but the report is telling me I should configure a disk witness as a best practice.  Do I need that with a 3 node cluster.  In 2008 R2, 3 nodes give me node majority
    and I'm good to go.
    Thanks
    SMaximus7

    True, but Windows Server 2012 introduced a dynamic quorum capability.  When you have an odd number of nodes in the cluster, you really don't need to have a witness to ensure availabilty.  But with the witness what happens is that if you lose a
    node a witness comes in, so there are three quorum votes - one for each surviving node and the witness.  Then, if another node fails, the cluster will continue to be operational because now you have the witness and the surviving node to maintain quorum.
    Not absolutely needed, but a real nice to have.  And, since it just takes such a small disk for a disk witness, or a file share for a file share witness, there is no really reason not to include it.

  • How do I do a Windows 7 restore as a Hyper-V clent with Server 2012 Essentials R2?

    How do I do a Windows 7 restore as a Hyper-V client with Server 2012 Essentials R2?  There is no client restore CD available as an ISO to mount as the CD.
    Scott

    Hi,
    As we know, to simplify the bare metal restore scenario, we implemented the Client Restore Service in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, which will enable WDS on the Windows Server Essentials
    server and configure the client restore image as a boot image. With the Client Restore Service turned on, the administrator can initiate a PXE boot on a client computer by using a network interface to launch the Client Restore Wizard and restore the client
    computer. There’s no need to prepare a client restore DVD, or a client restore USB bootable key. For details about how to perform the client restore, please refer to the following article.

  • Hyper-V / NVGRE Gateways / SCVMM 2012 R2

    I am currently investigating the roll out of network virtualisation using Hyper-V, Windows Server gateway and SCVMM 2012 R2
    I have tested deploying a single WSG in a single datacentre and I can get VMs working with Network Virtualisation.
    I have a requirement to deploy network virtualisation in multiple datacentres so that I am able to amongst other things live migrate VMs between datacentres with next to no downtime.
    My question is what do I need to deploy to make this work?
    For example do I need a WSG in each datacentre and if so are they completely independent of one another or are they aware of one another?
    I understand that each datacentre will have its own provider address space but I'm assuming the customer VM network will be the same at each datacentre - this would mean the customer VM network gateway IP would be in two locations but does this matter
    if the provider addresses are different?
    Is there anyone who has experience configuring WSG / NVGRE at multiple sites who could give some useful tips?
    Thanks
    John. 

    Hi Kristian
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    BTW the NVGRE white paper is excellent so a big thank you!
    To answer your points:
    Will the PA network be routable - Yes, I'm assuming I would configure at least one routable PA network per Datacentre - I don't really want to be stretching networks across Datacentres?
    Will the hosts in the other datacenter be able to reach the hosts in the primary datacenter where the WSG servers are running -
    Yes
    I have now destroyed my lab environment and this might seem like a stupid question but the PA gateway address is located on my router and not the NVGW?
    Forgetting HA for a moment would you recommend deploying a NV Gateway per datacentre or is this over complicating things? For example if I live migrated a NV VM from DC1 to DC2 would it use DC2's NVGW for external access or will it still use
    DC1's?
    In my head it seems more straight forward to deploy a HA NVGW at one DC which is used by all other DCs and as you suggested use something like Hyper-V Replica. Do you know if this is supported
    Many Thanks
    John.

  • Unattend.xml parsing/merging issue with SCVMM 2012 R2

    Hi all
    I have a problem with a new install of SCVMM 2012 R2. I have created templates for 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. I have an issue with the unattend.xml losing some of its configuration when the 2012 and 2012 R2 templates are built, this issue however doesn't
    occur on a 2008 R2 template build.
    I have generated unattend.xml files for all 3 OS's using System Image Manager in the latest AIK using the original install.wim from each OS media.
    In the unattend.xml file I have specified language settings, and a few other bits but the issue I have is when I configure autologon with local admin and password. I specify a logon count of 1, I also specify a GUIRunOnce command in SCVMM and not the answerfile.
    The problem is the resulting merged unattend.xml has a logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce command. I have tried different variations where I specify GUIRunOnce in the xml and not SCVMM, applying the autologon to the Template or Guest OS profile and
    all end with the resulting xml with logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce. If I remove the autologon part then GUIRunOnce gets parsed and works correctly.
    As mentioned this only happens with Server 2012 and 2012 R2, 2008 R2 works correctly.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Kevin
    I am struggling with the same thing during bare metal installs of Hyper-V hosts. In my case I have managed to narrow it down to the language settings in the oobe pass. If I include them, parsing of the unattend file halts (without an explicit error anywhere)
    and the host fails to join the domain. Could you try to leave out the language settings in oobe pass and see if it then completes as expected? Would be interesting to see if it actually is the same issue with a slightly different flavour :)
    EDIT: Got a bit further now with the new release of WS2012 R2. All the testing I've done has been with the 05182 build. Stumbled across KB2913316 which stated that a new build (31419) was released december 11th. Allthough the KB does not directly apply to our
    issue I thought I'd give it a go, so I went about building a new vhdx-image. Low and behold - the first test went smoothly applying all the settings in the unattend file! I'm going to continue testing to make sure the successful run wasn't just a fluke.

  • Live Migration between two WS2012 R2 Clusters with SCVMM 2012 R2 creates multiple objects on Cluster

    Hi,
    I'm seeing an issue when migrating VM's between two 2012 R2 Hyper-V Clusters, using VMM 2012 R2, that have their Storage provided by a 4 Node Scale Out File Server Cluster that the two clusters share.
    A migration between the two clusters is successful and the VM is operation but I'm left with two roles added to the cluster the VM has moved to instead of the expected one.
    For example: Say I have a VM that was created on cluster A with SCVMM, resulting in a name of : "SCVMM Test-01 Resources"
    I then do a live migration to Cluster B which has access to the same storage and then I end up with two new roles instead of one.
    "SCVMM abw-app-fl-01 Resources" and "abw-app-fl-01"
    The "SCVMM abw-app-fl-01 Resources" is left in an unknown state and "abw-app-fl-01" is operational.
    I can safely delete "SCVMM abw-app-fl-01 Resources" and everything still works but it looks like something is failing during the process.
    Has anyone else seen this?
    I'll probably have one of my guys open a support ticket in the new year but was wondering if anyone else is seeing this.
    Kind regards,
    Jas :)

    In my case the VMs where created in VMM in my one and only Hyper-V cluster (that's been created and is managed by VMM).
    All Higly Available VM:s have a FCM role named "SCVMM vmname" where vmname is the name if the VM in VMM. On top of that a lot
    of VM:s, but not all,  have a second role name named vmname. Lots of name in that sentence.
    All VMs that have duplicates are using the role named vmname.
    I thought it had to do with whether a VM had been migrated so I took one that never had been migrated and did. It did not get a duplicate.
    Is there any progress on this?

  • Can SCVMM 2012 R2 exist with SCVMM 2012 SP1 in the same AD domain

    We currently run System Centre 2012 SP1 (SCOM, SCCM, SCSM and SCVMM 2012 SP1). 
    There is no plan to upgrade the System Centre suite to R2 for another 6 months.
    But we do want to use SCVMM 2012 R2. I don’t plan to use SCVMM 2012 R2 with SCOM or SCCM 2012 SP1. 
    Can I build a separate SCVMM 2012 R2 in the same Active directory domain or forest (on a new server, with a separate database and with different service accounts)?

  • Deploy sql server with scvmm 2012 r2

    Hello,
    How to deploy SQL Server with scvmm such a way that  I get a VM with OS+ SQL installed.
    Is there way that i will get installed SQL with all feature to create new VM.
    I have followed the steps as given links    http://blog.islamgomaa.com/?p=236 
    I worked but when i have create a VM , still I need to installed SQL management Stdio  manually for create DBs.

    MSFT has also built SQL Server Service Templates that will do this for you - you download the template, add your OS disk, add the SQL install media and go.
    Here is how to get the MSFT built templates:

  • Assign management ip address with SCVMM 2012 R2 for hyper-v converged network?

    Hi,
    I am setting up a converged network for our Hyper-V clusters using vNICs for the different network traffic including management, live migration, cluster-csv, hyper-v etc.
    Problem is, how do I assign the hyper-v hosts a management IP address? They need a network connection on the management network for scvmm to manage them in the first place. How do I take the existing management IP address that is directly assigned to the
    host and transfer it directly to the new vNIC so scvmm has management of it? Kind of in a chicken and egg situation here. I thought about assigning a temp ip address to the host initially but am worried that assigning the address will cause problems as then
    the host would then have 2 default gateways configured. How have others managed this scenario?
    Thanks

    Rule of thumb: Use one connected network for your Fabric networks (read the whitepaper), and use VLAN based networks for your tenant VMs when you want to associate VM Networks with each VLAN.
    -kn
    Kristian (Virtualization and some coffee: http://kristiannese.blogspot.com )
    We don't have tenants as such due to this being an environment on a private company LAN for sole use of the company virtual machines.
    What I have so far:
    I created "one connected network" for Hyper-V-Virtual-Machine traffic.
    Unchecked "Allow new VM networks created on this logical switch to use network virtualization"
    Checked "Create a VM network with the same name to allow vms to access this logical network directly"
    This logical network has one site called UK.
    Within this site I have defined all of the different VLANS for this site.
    Created IP pools for each VLAN subnet range.
    I hope I understand this correctly. Started reading the whitepaper from cover to cover now.
