Migrate DC VM's to Hyper-V 2012 R2

I am preparing to upgrade my Server 2008 R2 Standard Hyper-V Host to Server 2012 R2 Standard with Hyper-V
All of my VHD's etc reside on the 2nd volume, therefore my install will just go to volume 1.
Will moving my SBS and secondary DC from Hyper-V 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 cause any issues?
I won't need to actually copy the VHD's (which I've heard is risky), but it will install the new Integration Services and I fear it could cause Domain issues.
thanks in advance,

Hi jonpraay,
You need to check the preparation before you do in-place update :
a. if there are snapshots , you may merge them (to trigger mergence ,shutdown VM is needed for 2008r2 hyper-v)
b. check the integrity of the VM's files
c. shutdown all VMs

Hyper-v 2012 r2 slow throughputs on network / live migrations

Hi, maybe someone can point me in the right direction, I have 10 servers 5 Dell r210s and 5 Dell R320's, I have basically converted these servers to standalone hyper-v 2012 servers, so there is no clustering on any at the moment.
Each server is configured with 2 1Gb nics teamed via a virtual switch, now when I copt files between server 1 and 2 for example I see 100MBs throughput, but if I copy a file to server 3 at the same time the file copy load splits the 100MBs throughput between
the 2 copy processes. I was under the impression if I copied 2 files to 2 totally different servers the load would basically be split across the 2 nics effectively giving me 2Gbs throughput but this does not seem to be the case. I have played around with tcpip
large send offloads, jumbo packets, disabled vmq on the cards, they are broadcoms. :-( but it doesn't really seem to make a difference with all of these settings.
The other issue is If I live migrate a 12Gb vm machine running only 2gb ram, effectively just an o/s it takes between 15 to 20 minutes to migrate, I have played around with the advanced settings, smb, compression, tcpip not real game changers, BUT if I shut
town the vm and migrate it, it takes, just under 3 and a half minutes to move across.
I am really stumped here, I am busy in a test phase of hyper-v but cant find any definitive documents relating to this stuff.

Hi Mark,
The servers (hyper-v 2012 r2) are all basically configured with ssvmm2012R2 where they all have teamed 1Gb pNics, into a virtual switch, then there are vNics for the Vmcloud, live migration etc. The physical network is 2 Netgear Gs724T switches which
are interlinked and each servers 1st nic is plugged into the switch1 and the second nic is plugged into the switch2.See Below Image) The hyper-v port is set to independent Hyper-v load balancing.
The R320 servers are running raid 5 sas drives, the R210s have 1Tb drives mirrored. The servers all are using DAS storage, we have not moved to looking at using iscsi and san is out the question at the moment.
I am currently testing between 2x 320s and 2x R210s, I am not copying data to the vm's yets, I am basically testing the transfer between the actual hosts at the moment by copying a 4Gb file manually, After testing the live migrations I decided to test to
see the transfer rates between the servers first, I have been playing around with the offload settings and rss, what I don't understand is yesterday, the copy between the servers was running up to 228Mbs ie (using both nics) when copying
the file between the servers, and then a few hours later it only was copying at 50/60Mbs, but its now back at 113Mbs seemingly to be only using one nic.
I was under the impression if you copy a file between 2 servers the nicks could use the 2gb bandwidth, but after reading many posts they say only one nic, so how did the copies get up to 2Gb yesterday. Then again if you copy files between 3 servers, then
each copy would use one nic, basically giving you 2Gbs, but this is again not being seen.

Hyper-v 2012 R2 Live migration issue in 2003 Domain function Level

hi Team ,
i recently build 2012 R2 Hyper-v Cluster with three node. Everrything working fine with out any issue . Cluster working also fine. Later i came across one issue when tried to Live migration virtual machine from one host to another . it failed all the time
while quick migration is working . i gone through few articles and find it is known issue with hyper-v 2012 R2 where domain functional level is set to 2003 . although they have provided Hotfix but no solution.

Please let me know if any one face similar issue and able to resolve by any hotfix. My host are updated .
Thanks

LIve migration trigger on Resource crunch in Hyper-v 2012 or R2

Like VMware DRS , who can trigger Migration of virtual machine from 1 datastore to another or 1 host to another. do we have same kind of machanism in Hyper-v 2012 also.
i have five HYper-v 2012 host in single cluster. now i want if any host face resource crucnh of memory than it migrate the virtual machine on another host.
Thanks ravinder

SCVMM has a feature called Dynamic Optimization.
Dynamic Optimization can be configured on a host group, to migrate virtual machines within host clusters with a specified frequency and aggressiveness. Aggressiveness determines the amount of load imbalance that is required to initiate a migration during
Dynamic Optimization. By default, virtual machines are migrated every 10 minutes with medium aggressiveness. When configuring frequency and aggressiveness for Dynamic Optimization, an administrator should factor in the resource cost of additional migrations
against the advantages of balancing load among hosts in a host cluster. By default, a host group inherits Dynamic Optimization settings from its parent host group.
Dynamic Optimization can be set up for clusters with two or more nodes. If a host group contains stand-alone hosts or host clusters that do not support live migration, Dynamic Optimization is not performed on those hosts. Any hosts that are in maintenance
mode also are excluded from Dynamic Optimization. In addition, VMM only migrates highly available virtual machines that use shared storage. If a host cluster contains virtual machines that are not highly available, those virtual machines are not migrated during
Dynamic Optimization.

Migrate Roles failes when migrating VMs with legacy network adapters (2008R2 - 2012)

I'm working on a upgrade of Hyper-V 2008R2 cluster to Hyper-V 2012 cluster. I am using the "migrate roles" feature of failover clustering to migrate the CSV's and VM's. The wizard ask to which switch the VMs need to be connected on the target cluster.
All VMs with network adapters can be started in the new cluster without any issues. If you look at the XML file of the migrated VMs with normal network adapters, a new XML has been generated in the proper 2012 format. However, all VM's with a legacy
network adapter fail to start. Also there is no migrated XML file in the VM directory. It is impossible to check or adjust the settings of the migrated VMs with legacy network adapters using the failover clustering console.
I have reproduced the issue in my lab several times, and it seems like a bug.
There are several workarounds, but I am looking for a real solution.

Hi,
We recommend that you use the legacy network adapter only to perform a network-based installation or when the guest operating system does not support the network adapter.
If the virtual machine continues to use the legacy network adapter it will not be able to leverage many of the features available in the Hyper-V virtual switch. You may want
to replace the legacy network adapter after the operating system is installed.

Moving VMs From One Hyper-v 2012 R2 to Another Hyper-v 2012 R2

Hi everyone, was hoping for some help in something I am confused about
Currently I have SERVER1 running hyper-v 2012 R2
I want to move all my VMs (around 20) to SERVER2 also running Hyper-v 2012 R2
But I am confused on the best way to do this
1) should I just click on "MOVE" on SERVER1 to move to SERVER2?
2) Should I do an export and then import
3) should I setup replication from Server1 to Server2 and then do a failover?
4) or should I shut the VM down, copy the VHDX file and then create a new VM and use that VHDX
I just want to be cautious and use the best method to ensure it goes smooth and not worry about any corruption. Can anyone offer some advice?
thanks

It all depends on your environment and your current Hyper-V configuration.
I asume both servers are domain-member of the same domain and don't use SCVMM. If so, then make sure you do the following:
First enable the "Live Migration" feature in the Hyper-V settings on both Hyper-V Servers.
Make sure both Hyper-V Servers have a vSwitch configured with the same display name and connectivity. They must be somewhat identical, but not everything. As long as the connectivity is the same.
Make sure you have a location to store the VM files on SERVER2.
Then do a Live Migration from SERVER1 to SERVER2, follow the wizard. By using the Hyper-V Manager console on SERVER1.
NOTE1: Without computer certificates and Kerberos configuration on your Live Migration settings you cannot initiate a Live Migration from the Hyper-V Manager cconsole on SERVER2. With the default configuration, you have to login on (or connect
to) SERVER1 en then initiate the Live Migration.
NOTE2: If you can't configure the vSwitches the same. Then you have to shut down the VMs and do a Quick Migration. Then re-configure the VM network properties and power on the VMs.
I hope this information will help you goin on. If you need more detailed information use the following link:

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
Windows Server 2012 Std
Hyper-V role, Failover Cluster Manager and File and Storage Services installed
Storage
Dell PowerEdge 6800
Windows Server 2012 Std
File and Storage Services installed
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.

Change Hyper-V 2012 R2 failover cluster management subnet

Hi,
We have an existing Hyper-V 2012 R2 Failover cluster. Virtual machines are live on this cluster. The networking team has decided to reorganise the network subnets. As a consequence we need to change the management IPs of our Hyper-V failover
clusters.
What are the possibilities?
Evect 1 node from the cluster, set correct management IP on the evicted cluster. Create a single-node cluster. Mask a new LUN to the single-host cluster. Execute a shared nothing live migration of the VMs which are hosted on old cluster.
Kr,

Hyper V 2012 VM stopping state

I have an issue with a VM that enters the stopping state. This happens every time a scheduled reboot occurs after applying windows updates. The VM was P2V using SCVMM 2012 SP1. The hosts are running Hyper-V 2012. The VM is W2008 R2.
I am unable to kill the VMWP.exe process, error: 'access denied'
I cannot move any other VMs to other host, error: 'resource locked status'
The only workaround I have found is to power cycle the host which forces the VMs to live migrate onto other hosts. This also brings up the problem VM and releases from stopping state.
I have applied hotfix KB2823643 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2823643) but no change.
This is happening when the VM is on all hosts.
Any ideas why?
Craig Brand

Try this hotfix also -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2848344
There is a case with the similar error message but with a different symptom. I'm advised to look at the vssadmin writers to verify if at the time of the reboot I have an
issue. Related article below.

Sadly I haven't had to apply any major updates so hard to replicate this. Next reboot scheduled Monday so maybe an update then :s
Good luck

Errors Performing V2V Conversions from ESX 5.5 to Hyper-V 2012 R2 using SCVMM 2012 R2

I've successfully added my vSphere server and 2 ESXi 5.5 hosts to my SCVMM 2012 R2 server.
I have also added my 2 Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts as well.
When I attempt to do a V2V conversion of a VM from 1 of my ESX hosts to Hyper-V, I receive - "Error (2901) The operation did not complete successfully because of a parameter or call sequence that is not valid. The parameter is incorrect."
When I go into the details of the job in VMM it shows "1.4 Convert VMDK to virtual hard disk - Failed" and "1.4.1 Deploy file (using HTTP) - Failed"
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
Also, I can do V2V conversions using the same ESX and Hyper-V hosts without any issues using Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 2.0, but my manager wants me to use VMM.
Thanks!

Quite honestly, building fresh on the platform and migrating the apps / services is always the best way to go
PlateSpin was the last product I knew that had a Linux conversion utility. Even found this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/enterprise_admin/archive/2010/04/26/hyper-v-linux-p2v-with-platespin.aspx
No idea the current status of PlateSpin. They were the gold standard back in 2008.
But honestly, it can be painful. It all depends on the hardware now.
With Hyper-V the end boot device is IDE - so if the machine now runs on SCSI, the boot loader pointers need to be modified (if you can find a tool to bring the disk forward).
Now, that said. Hyper-V can convert a physical disk to VHD. That is a stealth feature that has been there from the beginning. I can't recall if it is block by block, or if the file system must be known for the copy to succeed.
You mount the disk on the Hyper-V Server and create a new VHD from a physical disk.
The biggest issue with the conversion utilities is that Windows does not know the Linux file systems. So you need some Linux tool to do it.
I know that VMware had a converter that handled Linux - but again, you have to manually fixup the hardware in the boot menu.

How do I turn off Hyper-V 2012 server sleep mode?

Just installed Hyper-V 2012 server on a HP ML360 G8. Also installed Corefig 1.1.1. It seems after about 10 minutes if idle time the monitor goes black and the unit goes into sleep or hibernation. I have used powercfg to set it to the High Performance
power scheme and set screensaver to none in Corefig.
When the monitor goes black, if I move the mouse the sconfig screen, corefig, etc windows do not show until I run the mouse over them. Even then the windows do not 'repaint' until I run the mouse over the whole window or make some kind of key stroke in each
window.
Worried what this will do to my VMs once I start building them and would like to see the screen at all times. This is the first 2012 box and I have never had this issue with any of the Core 2008 products.
Thanks

Hi,
“I can't locate the GUI you show, it's Hyper-V 2012 Server,so i can't edit the settings.
Sems like it may be the monitor itself is going to sleep”
The other possible is you don’t have the administrator rights, or your server has got the Power Management, after you configuration the power option, the GPO refresh then
the old configuration be covered. Please refer the following article to confirm that:

Can I assign several physical storage locations for each virtual machine when using the replication-feature from Hyper-V 2012 R2?

Hi everyone,
I have 2x physical servers running Hyper-V 2012 R2. Each hosts several virtual machines. The VHDs of the VMs are stored on several dedicated physical disks to have a performance boost. For exampe if VM A has two VHDs attached I made sure that the VHDs are
on different physical disks to have them not slow-down each other in case of intensive disk accesses.
So far so good. I was looking forward to the replication-feature. The idea is to have the two physical servers have their primary running VMs being replicated to the other physical server and vice-versa. I was hoping to have the chance to choose for each
individual VM where the replicated VHD will be stored. But instead I can only see the one location/path which is configured in Hyper-V Manager when I activate the replication-feature on the server.
Is there by any chance a way how to select the storage location for each VHD/VM if using the replication-feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Secondly, you could replicate different VMs to different storage locations to perform some of the disk balancing you are trying to perform. Lastly, you could copy the vhd file to a different location
before starting the VM.
.:|:.:|:. tim
Hi Tim,
thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I had some other tasks to take care of, so I wasn't paying enough attention to this thread.
The part I quoted from your reply sounds exactly like the action I'd like to perform, but as you pointed out before this should not be possible.
How can I perform the action (replicating each VM to a storage location) as you mentioned secondly? To sum it up again:
2x physical machines carrying severel HDDs
8+ VMs spread to run on the 2x servers
when setting up replication I can only set the storage-location from server A on B and vice versa B on A
Thanks again for your reply.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Hyper-V 2012 R2 Remote Management with Windows 8.1 using Microsoft Account (Workgroup)

Hello,
I've set up a Hyper-V 2012 R2 Server and tried to manage it from a Windows 8.1 with a Microsoft Account. Everything is in the same workgroup. After many searches, the only way is set up the server for remote access, install RSAT and log on with an Administrator
account from the server in Server Manager console.
So, this situation generates a question: since it's impossible to set up a Microsoft Account in Hyper-V server as a local user, it's impossible to use "the same account and password" way to establish a link between server and desktop? I must use
a remote account for connection? Why Windows 8.1 local account and online account can't be merged as a single account?
By the way, there are some consoles that cmdkey doesn't work, so it's not an option.
Best regards.
Herleson Pontes MCT | MCITP | MCSA | MCTS | MCP | MOS http://www.herlesonpontes.com.br – [email protected]

I have not fully tried this myself but I know this:
A microsoft account can only be added to Server as a User, and only after Desktop Experience has been added. This is also how you enable the MSFT Store on Server.
This also requires a Full install of Server and is not possible on the free Hyper-V Server SKU.
But, the legacy Server Manager console that Hyper-V Manager is built on has no concept of this new user account type. And neither does Kerberos (the default security mechanism).
So, my guess is that the best you can do is treat it the same as any workgroup machines.
If you use Azure AD and sync your domain credentials, you have the password equivalent. But you still require some AD in the middle. This is simply the current state of affairs.

RDS - Issue using Windows 10 build 9926 as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure on Hyper-V 2012 R2

We currently have a production Windows 8.1 as a VDI/RDS on Hyper-V 2012 R2. On testing the last build of Windows 10 (98??) we had no issues deploying this in same RDS as pooled desktops.
The latest build 9926, although correctly sysprep-ed (either by removing AppX modern apps that have been updated, or not connecting the template to the internet), the build is only ever partially successful. Some VMs build others do not, and the ones that
build cannot be managed via RDS/Server Manager, functions such as logging a user off with server manager, result in an error. (WTS API failed)
Build Error on connection Broker - Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-SessionBroker
VM host [HOSTSERVER05] failed to execute VM Provisioning operation [Task: To perform post processing actions at VMHostAgent:] for virtual machine [VDI-W10-57] in pool [VDI_Advanced_Te], Error: [Error code: 0x88130221.]
Any guidance on how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated, although I suspect something regarding the auto-deployment/unattend and management systems though RDS no longer works with the latest Windows 10 build.
Already posted this in the
Windows Insider Program site, but was asked to re-post here. Thanks

OK, I've carried out some more testing on the client site and have been able to move a couple of existing VMs from their 2008 R2 Hyper-V server to the new 2012 R2 server.
Both VMs are Windows 7 SP1 with the RDP 8.0 update installed and I can connect to them from a Thin Client running RDP 7.1 and a laptop running RDP 8.0.
When I add the RemoteFX vGPU to them both I can still connect from both devices but, as suggested, when connecting from the laptop with RDP 8.0 I don't get the vGPU performance (but the vGPU is still shown in the device manager).
It all looks good at the moment but I'm still concerned as to why I was unable to connect to the first VM I moved over (it was complaining about a error in the License network communication or similar).
I'll keep testing and post anything else that might be useful.
Cheers for now
