Live Migrating Virtual Machines with Shared VHDx

I am facing problems when live migrating a Virtual Machine that is using Shared VHDx. The Virtual Machine gets migrated that is the configuration gets migrated, but the Virtual Machine fails to start up and if manually tried, it fails too.
What is the method to to live migrate virtual machines that are using Shared VHDx. Thanks in advance.

Another couple of gotchas:
You cannot do host-level backups of the guest cluster. This is the same as it always was. You will have to install backup agents in the guest cluster nodes and back them up as if they were physical machines.
You cannot perform a hot-resize of the shared VHDX. But you can hot-add more shared VHDX files to the clustered VMs.
You cannot Storage Live Migrate the shared VHDX file. You can move the other VM files and perform normal Live Migration.
as Long as you have your shared VHDx on a SMB3 Share you also could have the Nodes of the Guest Cluster on different Hyper-V Hosts.

Backing Up Hyper-V Virtual Machines with dynamic vhdx disks attached

Hi folks.
Can i make an online backup
for a virtual machine that has a hard drive
attached dynamic vhdx running on
windows server 2012 r2?
Regards

I think we should try to duplicate this using diskshadow.exe to create a persistent snapshot and manually copy a VM.
1) On the hyper-V host open an administrative command prompt.
2) Run diskshadow.exe - and after it starts enter the following commands as written except for the drive letters used:
   Diskshadow> Set Verbose on
   Diskshadow> Set context Persistent
   Diskshadow> Add Volume X: ALIAS xvol    (Where
X: is the drive letter of the volume containing the Hyper-V guests you want to make a snapshot for)
   Diskshadow> Begin backup
   Diskshadow> create
   Diskshadow>end backup
   DiskShadow> Expose %xvol% S:              (Where S: is a free drive letter)
3) Now Go into explorer and copy out VM's from the S: Drive which is the live shadow copy and see if that duplicates your problem.
When you are done, delete the shadow copy in diskshadow using the following command.
   DiskShadow>Delete shadows exposed S:

Live Migration Failed while Quick Migration is Ok...Virtual machine with synthetic FC HBA !

When I migration the virtual machine with synthetic FC HBA in windows server 2012 R2 Cluster,it fails
but I do it in the style of quick migraton ,it secceed!

Yes, definitely check your zoning/masking. Remember that with vHBA you have twice as many WWPNs to account for. Performing a live migration makes use of both pairs during the transfer from one host to the other - one set is active on the machine
currently running and the second set is used to ensure connectivity on the destination. So if you are using Address Set A on Host1, Host2 will try to set up the fibre channel connection using Address Set B. If you do a quick migration, you would
continue to use the same Address Set on the second host. That's why you most likely need to check your zoning/masking for the alternate set.

Create Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Windows PowerShell searching on hostname

Dear,
I’m a starter with PowerShell scripting an I’m looking for a script to create Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Windows PowerShell. The idea behind the script is that when I run the script its first searching for the hostname. I’m migrating 24 locations and each
location have a different hostname like xxx-SRV001. The script needs to use the first 3 signs from the hostname in this case “xxx” and create 2 VM's with below info:
Virtual Machine 1 2048MB
Virtual Machine 2 4096MB
Location D:\VM\
I can create VM's with Powershell into Hyper-V so only a script to first searching for the first 3 characters of the hostname is enough.
Example:
It's the intention that when the script runs it's looking for the hostname. As example we have hostname 000-SRV001
If the script see the first 3 characters of the hostname, in this case 000 he need to create 2 VMs with name xxx-SRV002 and xxx-SRV004
I think it must be something with
$hostname = "Get-WmiObject -computername $Machine Win32_Computersystem"
But then when i'm asking for $hostname he must give me back the hostname and if the hostname is 1 of the 24 locations then he need to create 2 vm's in Hyper-V with above info.
Can you help me or do you have a script for this?

Juste use :
$vram = 1GB*$vRam
You not need the "
Do you have any error with the creation of the VM?

When setting up converged network in VMM cluster and live migration virtual nics not working

Hello Everyone,
I am having issues setting up converged network in VMM. I have been working with MS engineers to no avail. I am very surprised with the expertise of the MS engineers. They had no idea what a converged network even was. I had way more
experience then these guys and they said there was no escalation track so I am posting here in hopes of getting some assistance.
Everyone including our consultants says my setup is correct.
What I want to do:
I have servers with 5 nics and want to use 3 of the nics for a team and then configure cluster, live migration and host management as virtual network adapters. I have created all my logical networks, port profile with the uplink defined as team and
networks selected. Created logical switch and associated portprofle. When I deploy logical switch and create virtual network adapters the logical switch works for VMs and my management nic works as well. Problem is that the cluster and live
migration virtual nics do not work. The correct Vlans get pulled in for the corresponding networks and If I run get-vmnetworkadaptervlan it shows cluster and live migration in vlans 14 and 15 which is correct. However nics do not work at all.
I finally decided to do this via the host in powershell and everything works fine which means this is definitely an issue with VMM. I then imported host into VMM again but now I cannot use any of the objects I created and VMM and have to use standard
switch.
I am really losing faith in VMM fast.
Hosts are 2012 R2 and VMM is 2012 R2 all fresh builds with latest drivers
Thanks

Have you checked our whitepaper http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hybrid-Cloud-with-NVGRE-aa6e1e9a for how to configure this through VMM?
Are you using static IP address assignment for those vNICs?
Are you sure your are teaming the correct physical adapters where the VLANs are trunked through the connected ports?
Note; if you create the teaming configuration outside of VMM, and then import the hosts to VMM, then VMM will not recognize the configuration.
The details should be all in this whitepaper.

Creating a Linux virtual machine on dynamic vhdx file creates huge file on formating

Hello,
we just created a virtual machine on Windows Server 2012 R2 on a dynamic vhdx file.
When the operating system (Redhat 5) formats the filesystem (100GB of size), then the vhdx file expands to 21 GB, although no data is written to the disk.
Did someone experience a similar issue? And how to avoid such space waste. If we write additional data in the virtual machine, then the vhdx expands again and gets even bigger then the 21 GB.
Thanks,
Thomas

~~
The RedHat 6.5 is not supported guest system,
~
RHEL 6.5 in VM on Hyper-V is even _certified_ solution
~
P.S. About .vhdx itself and BlockSizeBytes 1MB ( 32Mb as default ) see next message
P.P.S.

"So RedHat itself supports the virtual machine, but Microsoft not?"
Depends upon how you define the word 'support'. Microsoft has never supported any Linux operating system in the manner that it supports software it has written. In this case, support means providing fixes to the software code. That is pretty
standard across the board. RedHat does not support Microsoft applications or software, either.
However, if you mean the Microsoft supports the running of the RedHat operating system within Hyper-V, the answer is yes. In those cases where it is not obvious that a problem is occurring in Microsoft's integration components, it will work with RedHat
to determine where the error lies. If the cooperative effort between Microsoft and RedHat determines the problem is with Microsoft code, Microsoft will fix (support) it. If it is determined that the problem is not with Microsoft code, RedHat will
make the determination as to whether or not to fix (support) it.

BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network

I'm trying to create an "ExtraLarge" VM with multiple NICs. The New-AzureVM returns the following error:
BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network
interfaces are not supported in the same deployment, also a virtual machine having no secondary network interfaces
cannot be updated to have secondary network interfaces and vice-versa.
But I have no other VMs. Or at least I did and then deleted them and all their disks. The service has no deployments (either staging or production).
Why is New-AzureVM complaining about a mismatch of VMs with and without secondary network interfaces when no other VMs exist?
I have tried many things to fix this, including the deletion of ALL of my resources. I have deleted and created the service many times, both with an affinity group and without. I have a screen print of the -debug output if your interested.
Thanks for the outstanding help.

Hi Ron,
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not post the CONFIDENTIAL DETAILS ever on the public forums, this is HIGH RISK action.
Please send an email with your contact details to my email
[email protected] so that I guide you on steps which help you come out of the current scenario. Thank you for understanding.
I suggest you to create a new VNET and new VM with cloud services. Create Multiple NIC VM. Let us know the results.

Cannot create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC in Oracle VM 2.2

Dear All,
I try many times to create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC but not get success.
When I created it already and then I start the Power On button, it run normally but the Console button cannot click on (hide). After that the virtual machine running abit then it change status to Powered Off.
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,
Heng

I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

Not able to connect Azure Linux Virtual Machine with Putty

Hi,
I am not bale to connect Azure Linux Virtual Machine with Putty... Error shows "Network error: connection timed out".
Please help.
Thanks,
Techsol
Thanks, Kk

Hi TechSol01,
Thanks for posting here.
I suggest you to try the below steps
On a computer running a Windows operating system, you might want to use an SSH client such as PuTTY. For more information, see the
PuTTY Download Page.
On a computer running a Linux operating system, you might want to use an SSH client such as OpenSSH. For more information, see
OpenSSH.
If it is the endpoint configuration, you can go to the portal and add port 22, (it should already be there by default).
Now if it is locked out of the VM because of the firewall on the VM, which is called iptables , You won't be able to connect to the VM,
If you haven’t configured the port 22. You may have to follow the below steps :
A = Original VM (Inaccessible VM)
B = New VM (New Temp VM)
1) Stop VM A via the Azure management portal
2) Delete VM A BUT select “keep the attached disks”
3) Once the lease is cleared, attach the Data Disk from A to VM B via the Azure Portal, Virtual Machines, Select “B”, Attach Disk
4) On VM “B” eventually the disk will attach and you can then mount it.
5) Locate the drive name to mount, on VM “B” look in relevant log file note each linux is slightly different.
grep SCSI /var/log/kern.log (ubuntu)
grep SCSI /var/log/messages (centos, suse, oracle)
6) Mount the attached disk onto mountpoint /tempmount
df -h
mkdir /tempmount
mount /dev/sdc1 /tempmount
df –h
7) Now you should be able to clear the rules set from the configuration file of the firewall, by accessing it
through /tempmount
Let me know if this works

I want to develop apps for Windows Mobile 8.1 with VS 2013 Update 4, Mobile Emulators can work in my Virtual Machine, bcz i am getting bellow error.
Windows Phone Emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running:
Something happend while starting a virtual machine:'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB.APPUSER' failed to start.(Virtual machine ID xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx)
The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4inch 512MB.appuser' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).

No you cannot do that. You need a physical machine that supports Hyper-V

Pre-Configured Virtual Machine with OBIEE 11g available?

Hi,
does Oracle offer a pre-configured Virtual Machine with OBIEE 11g? I found an old Virtual Box Image with 10.2..., but nothin newer.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I don't suppose this is available yet is it? I notice Oracle offer quite a few downloadable images for Virtual Box now, but OBI isn't included in any that I could see.

Using virtual machines with Mac

Hi Folks,
Any suggestions on using a virtual machine with Mac. Parallels, VMware Fusion or Virtual Box ? Which one is good and share some thoughts here.
Thanks,

Hi direwolf8,
You wrote : Not without knowing what you're trying to achieve.
This is what I am trying : I am planning to use the virtual machine technique so that I can work from home with the animation softwares to create and convert movies and the most commonly used systems, use Windows OS. I will need to test whether they will run in the Windows environment using all media players before making DVDs. (As per policies that is what I am supposed to reveal).
You wrote : If you're running Linux or Windows, you can use native drivers for your video display and skip the virtualized abstraction layer. You can even add a high-performance video card just for the vm's.
How can I do that?
Hi dwd, Thank you for your response also.

List all Virtual Machines with Associated Tags

I have custom attributes for application engineer, OS engineer, application name, etc. In the vSphere Client I can list all VMs and their custom attributes. I can then sort the list by custom attribute. Doing this allows me to find virtual machines with empty custom attributes.
I have converted my custom attributes to tags. I cannot find a way to list all virtual machines with associated tags in the vSphere Web Client. Is there a way to do this using PowerCLI? I'd like to be able to produce a CSV file that contains all virtual machines and their associated tags.

If you have tag assignments for the category of "OS engineer". You can write this:
Get-TagAssignment -Category "OS engineer"
That will list the tags in the category and the associated VMs.

Virtual Machines With Large RAM Fails Live Migration

Hi everyone....
I have a 2-node Hyper-V cluster managed by SCVMM 2012 R2. I am current unable to migrate a VM that is using 48 GB of RAM. Each node has 256 GB of RAM running Windows Server 2012 R2.
When the VM is running on node 1; there is 154 GB in use, and 102 GB available. When I try to migrate this VM to node 2, (which has 5.6 GB in use, and 250 GB available), I get this error message in VMM:
Error (10698)
The virtual machine (abc-defghi-vm) could not be live migrated to the virtual machine host (xyz-wnbc-nd03) using this cluster configuration.
Recommended Action
Check the cluster configuration and then try the operation again.
(In case you were wondering, I ran the cluster validation and it passed without a problem.)
The Failover Cluster event log shows two key entries:
First:
Cluster resource 'SCVMM xyz-wnbc-vm' in clustered role 'SCVMM xyz-wnbc-vm Resources' has transitioned from state OfflineCallIssued to state OfflinePending.
Exactly 60 seconds later, this message takes place:
Cluster resource 'SCVMM abc-defghi-vm in clustered role 'SCVMM abc-defghi-vm Resources' rejected a move request to node 'xyz-wnbc-nd03'. The error code was '0x340031'. Cluster resource 'SCVMM abc-defghi-vm' may be busy or in a state where it
cannot be moved. The cluster service may automatically retry the move.
Nothing found after Googling "0x340031". Does anyone know what error that is?
Other notes:
If the Virtual machine is shut down I can migrate it.
If I lower the VM RAM settings and start it up again I can do a Live Migration.
All other VMs can do the Live Migration; largest RAM size is 16GB.
Any suggestions?

Hi Sir,
Could you please check if NUMA setting for every node are same via using perfmon.exe and using counter "Hyper-v VM Vid Numa Node " :
>>and the virtual machine in question has it enabled as well.
Could you please also post the NUMA setting of that VM for us ?
Best Regards,
Elton Ji

Live Migration : virtual Fibre Channel vSAN

I can do live migration, from one node to another. No error. Problem / Question that I have is, is live migration really lie migration.
When I do live migration from cluster or SCVMM it save and start virtual machine. Which fro me is not live migration.
I have describe in more details : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a52ac102-4ea3-491c-a8c5-4cf4dd14768d/synthetic-fibre-channel-hba-live-migration-savestopstart?forum=winserverhyperv

Virtual Fibre Channel had sense in pre-R2 times when there was no shared VHDX and you had to somehow provide fault tolerant shared storage to guest VM cluster (spawning iSCSI target on top of FC was slow and ugly). Now there\s no point in putting one into
production so if you have issues just use shared VHDX. See:

Shared VHDX is much more flexible and has better performance.
Good luck!
