Migration from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to R2 - New Hardware
We want to migrate our existing SCVMM 2012 SP1 to new hardware and then bump it to SCVMM 2012 R2. Our database is on a separate SQL 2008 R2 server. This is what we envision doing to get there:
Uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 on existing server and retaining the database
Backup and restore the SCVMM database to a new SQL 2012 server
Install SCVMM 2012 R2 on new hardware and connect to existing database on SQL 2012 server
Does this sound doable? Will we lose anything in the move? Maybe our existing libraries?

Upgrading on a remote computer
Upgrading from VMM in System Center 2012 SP1 on one computer to VMM in System Center 2012 R2 on a different computer is not supported when data is retained from the original installation, and the following configurations apply:
The original installation uses Windows DPAPI. This is the default setting if you did not configure distributed key management during setup.
The VMM management server is configured to use any of the following encrypted values or settings:
Application settings (encrypted value)
Service setting (encrypted value)
SQL Server deployment (product key)
Web deploy package (encryption password)
"Personally" and this is a pain, I would:
Uninstall VMM SP1 and retain the DB.
Re-install the exisiting hardware with Server 2012
Re-install VMM SP1 and reconnect to existing DB
Upgrade to VMM 2012 R2
Uninstall and retain the DB
Restore the DB on new SQL 2012 server
Reinstall VMM 2012 R2 on new Server and reconnect to existing DB
Note that you will probably get access denied messages once running on the new VMM server due to the SID change. You will need to re-associate hosts and libraries.
I'm still not saying this is a supported method, but it's likely it's more supported as it's essentially following DR principals.

Missing Event Viewer VM Manager Log after ugrade from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to R2
We recently upgraded from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to SCVMM 2012 R2. After the upgrade, I noticed that the VM Manager log, in the Event Viewer, is missing. I've tried to peruse all of the logs to see if it has been moved/renamed, with no luck. I highly doubt an important
log would be removed without a replacement being available, so I'm curious if it was something that had to be enabled (isn't turned on by default).
I had scripts which relied on the log for VM status changes, Event ID 821 (shut down/running/etc), to keep a last-used database for all of the VMs on our cloud.
Has anyone run in to this problem, or have any idea how I can get get the information that was available in the VM Manager log?
Thank you.I have a similar problem when migrating VMs from Windows 2008 R2 (Non Clustered) Hyper-V to Windows 2012 Hyper Cluster. I had previously migrated about 100 VMs like this with no problem. It appears since upgrading from VMM SP1 Rollup 4 to Rollup 5 this problem
is happening. All Agents are up to date.
I can migrate VMs in the cluster no problem.
I removed the Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V host and added it back which allowed the job to at least start but when it gets to the final steps of importing the VM it fails with the same error and references the VMM server.
Others suggest this is a VMM Certificate problem and you can remove the Cluster node and add it back again but I can't do that in a production Cluster with hundreds of VMs. That is not an acceptable solution.

Online P2V Migration using SCVMM 2012 SP1 , -Lose data
Hi,
in case the online P2V Migration scvmm 2012 take about 1 hour to complete
do we lose any changes on the live server during this hour ??
RamyHi Ramy,
>>do we lose any changes on the live server during this hour ??
" Offline P2V is the most reliable way to ensure data consistency because it creates an exact copy of the source computer while it is not in use. "
I didn't see any data sync after create VSS shadow copy from the process of P2V within following article :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc764232.aspx
So, in your case you will lose 1 hour data after creating vss shadow copy while using online P2V .

Problems after upgrade from SCVMM 2012 Sp1 to SCVMM 2012 R2
I did a in-place (uninstall VMM2012 Sp1, retain the database, and install VMM2012 R2 point to old database) upgrade. All the steps work fine.
The only problem (so far) is that when I create a new VM using a custom template (for example, Windows 2008 R2), the deploy fail with the following error:
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the vm-scvmm2012.domain.com server: NO_PARAM: NO_PARAM.

Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server vm-scvmm2012.domain.com. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If vm-scvmm2012.domain.com is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure

Migration of SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 in a new domain.
I am wondering if it is possible to migrate objects from a SCCM 2012 SP1 server in one domain to a new SCCM 2012 R2 server in another domain ?
I read this article, but it does not state this particular combination.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682006.aspx
Thx
ThomasFor Migrate from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 in same environment/Domain, it's support and applicable.
But migrate to new domain, it's not support. Also you can't migrate database for new domain or object. you will need to rebuild it.

SCVMM 2012 SP1 (RTM) Deployment from VMM Console fails.
Error During a library refresh, or deployment from template - It all fails:
Error (12710)
VMM does not have appropriate permissions to access the Windows Remote Management resources on the server (MyServer).
Unknown error (0x80338105)
Recommended Action
1) Ensure that the Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service is running on the server (myserver).
2) If the System Center Virtual Machine Manager service on your VMM management server is configured to run by using the machine account, ensure that there is not a group policy that does not allow adding machine accounts to a computer's Administrators group.
If there is, you can use one of the following workarounds:
- Disable the group policy in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
- Modify the group policy to allow the VMM machine account in the Administrators group
- Move the machine account to its own organizational unit (OU) and block the group policy from being applied
- Reinstall the VMM management server and choose the option to run the System Center Virtual Machine Manager service by using a domain account, and re-add all of your virtual machines.
So, as soon as SCVMM 2012 Sp1 was released we decided that it was best to upgrade so we could utilise the new features of Server 2012 as a host.
The upgrade worked a treat. VM's deployed, Server 2012 worked. Anyway, a few days after deployment we start to see errors relating to WinRM and permissions (See end of the post). After a quick trace around we found some failed services, usually on a host
but sometimes it seemed to happen on the Library/Management server as well.
So, our setup is as follows:
Management/Library server = VMware VM, Server 2012 standard, 6 GB memory, 4 vCPU's
Hosts = HP DL360p G7, HP DL360 Gen8 (we have a few of these), Server 2012. We also have a DL380 G7 on Server 2008 R2 Enterprise that fails as well, so it seems the error isn't O/S specific (I'm picking a VMM issue).
So I have tried many resolutions and now none of them work.
We have no restrictions on group policy for the local admin, this can be set manually, and works for that matter.
WinRM is working and the listening port is 5985 (I can see it working and listening via a "netstat -an")
Also, I have ensured many many times that all of the required services are up and running (SCVMMAgent, VirtualDisk managerment, WinRM) and initially these where at fault and a simple restart of each service (or even a full start from dead) fixed
it - Now it all fails. Even a library refresh fails. And all while each of the services required are up and running.So, I have now tried a reinstall of the management server & made some changes
1- Changed the service account during the install.
2 - Added the service account user to the local admins group of each host in question.
3 - Tried "winrm /qc" .which lets me know its already up and running and configured. Although I must admit, I'm not 100% sure how to use WinRM. From what I can read, this is like an express setup and ensures you are up, running and listening.
4 - Verified that WinRM is working of the right port (Listening ports dump below)
5 - Verified that I can connect to each port required for the SCVMM Management server.
BUT, it seems the error is still there and deployments still fail,
although the library refreshes correctly now.

SCVMM 2012 SP1 Beta Installation Errors
Hi All,
Pulling my hair out trying to get SCVMM 2012 SP1 Beta to install on a Windows 2012 machine. The machine was a new installation and had IIS installed, Hyper-V Role, Failover Clustering, SQL Server 2012, AD (it is a domain controller).
Getting an error regarding Failover Clustering, which is definitely installed with all management tools and powershell module. Have even tried uninstalling it and then running the VMM Setup, and I then get a different error. Logs from both installation attempts
are below:

Modifying the size of an SMB 3.0 registered file share in SCVMM 2012 SP1
Hi -
We are leveraging the Netapp SMI-S 5.0 provider with SCVMM 2012 SP1 to register and use SMB 3.0 file shares on our HV clusters. Working great after a few early problems. One thing that we've yet to find is a solution to this problem.
On the netapp side, let's say a volume with size 1TB is created. Then through SCVMM/SMI-S, a new file share is created within this volume for use with HV clusters/VMs. Let's say, for example when creating this share through the SCVMM GUI that
you define the file share size as 500gb. This leaves 500gb free in the parent volume.
How in the world do you modify that file share size from the SCVMM perspective - if you start running low on space within the share. The free space is definitely there, but we can't seem to find a way from within SCVMM to modify the file share 'size'
(which is a parameter you have to define during file share creation) from original size to something larger (yet still smaller than parent volume size).
Anyone else seen this scenario and/or found a solution? I apologize if this is already answered elsewhere - just not seeing much on searches. Thanks in advance -Ok so we just ran into a similar issue with our netapp. And after digging around my colleagues and I found this document ( https://communities.netapp.com/community/netapp-blogs/msenviro/blog/2014/02/19/data-ontap-smi-s-agent-51--use-netapp-smi-s-provider-to-provision-a-cifs-share-for-smb-30-environments-windows-server-2012-using-scvmm-2012-r2
) had a key passage: "SMIS create/manage shares created on qtree with quota assigned to it."
So taking that the SMI-S agent uses quotas on the volume to determine the 'file share' size you can adjust the space available to Hyper-V by adjusting the quota on the volume, even increasing it to beyond the space available in the volume. We are actually
doing this because of dedupe savings on our hyper-v store.
IMPORTANT - the SMI-S agent only scans every 5 minutes, so when you make a quota change it may take up to 5 minutes for it to be detected... so wait
6 minutes and then refresh the storage provider. We were working with SCVMM 2012 R2 but this should be reflected with SCVMM 2012 SP1 if im not mistaken. -
I had a working scvmm 2012 sp1 installation, and am attempting to upgrade to 2012 r2.
The old SCVMM product was removed (retaining the database), as well as ADK 8.0. I then installed ADK 8.1.
The install fails after a number of minutes with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied". From my reading of the log, that was the only obvious failure, and that the VMM server MSI installed successfully.
It doesn't appear to get so far as to upgrade the database.
The OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, with all updates applied. I have tried the install many times, noticed that the McAfee virus scanner was pushed to the box at some point, so I removed it, but still no dice.

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)?

ENABLE VLAN ID GYREYED OUT IN VM PROPERTIES IN SCVMM 2012 SP1
Dear All,
I have a strange issue with Hyper-V SCVMM 2012 SP1. "Enabled VlanID" is greyed out if I take VM properties in SCVMM 2012 SP1. But at the same time I am able to change it in Hyper-V host! strangely it doesn't happen to all VMs! Any help is appreciated
as google doesn't give me any fruitful answer. appreciate your great support.
Regards,Are you using logical networks for all your networks in SCVMM? That is where the VLAN ID would be set for any network defined as a logical network. If you do not have it defined as a logical network, you would be able to set the VLAN ID.
It does not surprise me at all that you can get to it within Hyper-V Manager. When you install clustering and SCVMM, these are hierarchical management tools, and you should always manage from the highest level down. Generally only go to a lower
level when the highest level says to. SCVMM is highest and Hyper-V Manager is lowest. If you make changes at a lower level, it might not be reflected properly in the higher level until some sort of refresh occurs.

Hi everybody,
I tried to created a cluster with 2 hyper-v Standalone 2012 ( with ISCSI connectivity for the SAN) with scvmm 2012 sp1.
After the validation testing I have 2 errors and I don't find the answer . I pasted the log at the bottom.
Thanks for your help.
Bye.
An error occurred while executing the test.
An error occurred while validating the operating system software updates.
One or more errors occurred.
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'MS.Internal.ServerClusters.Validation.IClusterUpdate'.
This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the

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.

What is SCVMM DHCP Server (x64) ? after pushing the agent from scvmm 2012 r2 console
Hello Guys,
I have installed the agent from scvmm 2012 R2 console & notice that in add remove Program its shows two things one is " Microsoft System center Virtual machine Manager Agent (x64) other is Microsoft System center Virtual machine Manager DHCP server
(x64)"
Need to know what is the role of this "Microsoft System center Virtual machine Manager DHCP server (x64)" on the server & why it get installed with scvmm agent.
Thanks
NM-BG
NM-BGThis is a good question, and I am happy to explain why you are seeing this agent.
Windows Server 2012 introduced us for Network Virtualization using the GRE protocol (NVGRE).
In order to leverage NVGRE, you would have to manage your hosts entirely with powershell, if you didn't have VMM in place.
When VMM is in place (and really should be in place, when using NVGRE), VMM act as the complete management layer, also for the NVGRE part. Since NVGRE basically is a
policy driven technology, VMM need to keep track of every IP address used with NVGRE. During deployment of virtual machines connected to a VM Network with NVGRE (often referred to as Customer Addresses), VMM is able to configure static IP addresses
on to these VMs, using the agent you are mentioning. This was introduced in VMM 2012 SP1, and is also present in the R2 Release.
So to summarize, it is a Hyper-V Switch Extension that is required on all Windows Server with Hyper-V to have DHCP to work correctly.

Hyper-V 2012 VM Placement by SCVMM 2012 SP1
Hi,
I'd like to understand the logic behind VM placement in SCVMM 2012 SP1 and a 8 Node Hyper-v 2012 cluster. Each Node has 32GB RAM and each is a completely identical HP DL360.
Here is the current placement as performed by SCVMM
Node 1: 1 VM
Node 2: 2 VM's
Node 3: 6 VM's
Node 4: 1 VM
Node 5: 2 VM's
Node 6: 7 VM's
Node 7: 1 VM
Node 8: 1 VM
There are 2 x 16GB VM's, the rest of between 2GB and 8GB. Each of the overloaded hosts has a 16GB VM running on it.
I have a cluster reserve set to 1 Node failure. Why has it decided to favour Node 3 and 6? I appreciate the Maths to work out Node suitability are very complex but this seems rather odd.
Thanks in advance.
EddieHi,
Please check “Preferred Owners” settings for each clustered resource.
There are some scenarios to help you understand failover process:
Scenario 1: If a node or resource fails and the Preferred Owner List has been defined, the Cluster Service fails the Group to the next available node in the Node List. The Node List is composed of the Preferred Owners List followed by the remaining nodes
arranged by their Node ID. The Node ID is defined when a node is joined to a cluster or if a node is evicted or and re-added.
Scenario 2A: If a resource fails and the Preferred Owner List is not set, the Group follows a Node List much like it did in Scenario 1. The Node List is built only from the Node ID. Upon a node or resource failure, resources follow a downward path failing
to the subsequent node in the Node List. When it reaches the last listed node in the Node List, it starts with the first node in the Node List.
Scenario 2B: If a node fails and the Preferred Owner List is not set for a group on that node, then an available node will be selected randomly for the group to be moved to. This will distribute the groups among the available nodes.
Scenario 3: If a Cluster administrator manually chooses Move group and selects Best Possible and the Preferred Owner List is configured, the Group will always start at the top of the Node List. As in Scenario 1, the Node List is composed of the Preferred
Owner List and the installation order.
Scenario 4: If, as Cluster administrator, you manually choose Move group and you select Best Possible and the Preferred Owner List is not configured, an active node is chosen randomly to host the group. Without the Preferred Owner List configured, it is
possible that a Group may move to a Node that is already running several other Groups.
We recommend that you configure the Preferred Owner list on a large node cluster if the load between nodes is significantly different or if the nodes are not homogeneous.
