Migration of VMs from WS2012 Hyper-V Hosts Cluster to WS2012 R2 Hyper-V Hosts Cluster

Hello All,
We’re currently running our production VMs on a Failover Cluster of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Hosts. We’re planning to migrate these VMs to the cluster of
Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Hosts.
I have created a failover cluster of Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Hosts, and successfully tested the HA of my new test VMs on this new cluster.
Anyone please tell me the procedure, steps and best practices to migrate these VMs from Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Hosts to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V
Hosts.
Thank you.
Regards,
Hasan Bin Hasib

  • Is it possible to Migrate Live VMs from a Windows 2012 Hyper-V Cluster to a different 2012 R2 Cluster?

    At the moment I'm in a bit of dilemma because I know that Windows 2012 supports "Shared Nothing Live Migration" but recently I got to know that this feature is available for stand alone Hyper-V Servers. My Setup is that I have
    3 Servers running Windows Server 2012 Hyper-v Failover Cluster and I need to migrate everything to a new cluster running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and offcourse some VMs can't be turned off during migration so I need to do this live during production hours.
    Another note is that both clusters will be running on the different LUNs since each cluster has its own CSVs. I need to know if it is possible to migrate such VMs/Roles Live without have any downtime of the VMs/Roles?

    Yes, but one exception - live migration works only on "compatible cpu's". There actually is a setting in CPU for forcing compatibility
    mode. If that is not set, and you mvoe for example from AMD to Intel, then - this is not possible in live migration, cluster or not.

  • 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:

  • Moving VMs from Standalone Hyper-V to Hyper-v Failover Cluster

    Hello All.................I need to move Virtual Machines from Standalone Hyper-V based on Windows Server 2012 R2 to a Hyper-V Failover Cluster based on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    -  The VMs OS is Windows Server 2012 R2
    -  Applications installed on VMs are SCCM, SCOM, SharePoint, etc.
    1.  I am looking for a Checklist that I can run through and move them.  To make sure I do not miss out anything.
    2.  Would a downtime be required in this scenario while the VM is being moved?
    3.  What requires special attention in this scenario?

    Thanks for the reply.
    So, I do not need to do anything and just simply add both the cluster and standalone into VMM and then simply use the Move option.  Please, confirm if I have understood it correct.
    Yes. But be carefull. First shut down your VM's
    if possible and configure them in such a way they don't automatically start. If you install the SCVMM Agent, some Hyper-V related services are restarted, when some VMs start during that process you system may stall. I have seen this multipe times.
    There is another dirty option that worked of us perfectly. Export the VMs. Then import those VMs to a local disk on one Hyper-V Server. Refresh the Hyper-V Server and Virtual Machines on that Hyper-V Server. Give it a few minutes. Then do
    a Live Migration while at the same time makeing it "Highly Available" by moving it to your CSV. Works flawlessly. DO NOT IMPORT THE VMS TO YOUR CSV, otherwise you can't change it to "Highly Avaiable" unless you have
    two CSVs. Importing it straight to a CSV does not make them Highly Available.

  • Cannot migrate VM in VMM but can in Failover Cluster Manager network adapters network optimization warning

    I have a 4 node Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster and manage it with VMM 2012 R2.  I just upgraded the cluster from 2012 RTM to 2012 R2 last week which meant pulling 2 nodes out of the existing cluster, creating the new R2 cluster, running the copy
    cluster roles wizard since the VHDs are stored on CSVs, and then added the other 2 nodes after installing R2 on them, back into the cluster.  After upgrading the cluster I am unable to migrate some VMs from one node to another.  When trying to do
    a live migration, I get the following notifications under the Rating Explanation tab:
    Warning: There currently are not network adapters with network optimization available on host Node7. 
    Error: Configuration issues related to the virtual machine VM1 prevent deployment and must be resolved before deployment can continue. 
    I get this error for 3 out of the 4 nodes in the cluster.  I do not get this error for Node10 and I can live migrate to that node in VMM.  It has a green check for Network optimization.  The others do not.  These errors only affect
    VMM. In the Failover Cluster Manager, I can live migrate any VM to any node in the cluster without any issues.  In the old 2012 RTM cluster I used to get the warning but I could still migrate the VMs anywhere I wanted to.  I've checked the network
    adapter settings in VMM on VM1 and they are the same as VM2 which can migrate to any host in VMM.  I then checked the network adapter settings of the VMs from the Failover Cluster Manager and VM1 under Hardware Acceleration has "Enable virtual machine
    queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading" checked.  I unchecked those 2 boxes refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still could not live migrate VM1.  Why is this an issue now but it wasn't before
    running on the new cluster?  How do I resolve the issue?  VMM is useless if I can't migrate all my VMs with it.

    I checked the settings on the physical nics on each node and here is what I found:
    Node7: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
    Node8: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
    Node9: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)Node10: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Live Migration works on all VMs in VMM)
    From Hyper-V or the Failover Cluster manager I can see in the network adapter settings of the VMs under Hardware Acceleration that these two settings are checked "Enable virtual machine queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading".  I unchecked those
    2 boxes, refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still cannot live migrate the problem VMs.
    It seems to me that if I could adjust those VM settings from VMM that it might fix the problem.  Why isn't that an option to do so in VMM? 
    Do I have to rebuild the VMM server with a new DB and then before adding the Hyper-V cluster uncheck those two settings on the VM's from Hyper-V manager?  That would be a lot of unnecessary work but I don't know what else to do at this point.

  • Isolating guest VMs from each other (not just the host)

    Hello Everyone,
    I've been playing around with visualization for a long time, but largely for testing and educational purposes.
    For the first time I'm thinking of actually running some production systems in virtual machines instead of on physical hardware which which raises some new concerns for me that weren't really relevant previously, namely, security.  In particular, I've been thinking about how to isolate the guest VM processes from each other.
    It's decades-old best practice to isolate different server services to different machines to help prevent, say, security problems with your web server also comprising your mysql server.  When you start virtualizing your infrastructure, you lose this benefit to a degree, if someone manages to compromise one of your VM servers and manages to exploit a vulnerability in your hypervisor to gain access to the host, it's no big leap to assume that they may be able to get access to your other virtual machines running on that host.
    It seems to me, that if you want to improve your resilience to this kind-of exploit that you want to increase the isolation of your VM processes from each other.  You could, say, run them as different users.  If you're careful about permissions, then you gain back some of the security of running your servers on seperate physical hardware.  An attacker could still exploit a local privilege escalation bug, but it at least provides another line of defense.
    This sort of thing seems to be possible with qemu virtual machines, though it does require some work to get anything besides user mode networking working. 
    On the other hand, this sort of thing seems to be largely impossible with libvirt.  It's possible to run as qemu vms as different users using 'qemu://session' but the documentation seems to suggest that this limits you to using the qemu user mode networking, which isn't practical for running publicly accessible servers.  Since, as far as I can tell, all of the visualization management products around are based off of libvirt, this surprises me.  It seems to me that someone would have wanted to try and do something like this before, but nobody has (as far as I can tell).
    Indeed, there seems to be very little documentation out there about using qemu with tun/tap networking when running as non-root user.  There is some documentation out there about using VDE (mostly via the deprecated vdeq wrapper), but alot of qemu write-ups skip over it.  There's enough out there to suggest it's possible, it just doesn't seem to be written up anywhere (yet, maybe I'll write it up myself someday).
    So, this makes me wonder, 'why not?'.  Are there other things people are doing to isolate guest VMs from each other?
    What are people running production services in VMs doing?

    I suppose this is also something to think about, but I don't think I'd be that worried about it for my use-case.  The majority of systems I plan to run could run completely headless and the physical security for the host computers should be pretty good.  I'm more concerned remote code exploits in one particular VM allowing an attacker to execute on the host or in other guest VMs.

  • Running desktop OS VMs in corporate Hyper-V?

    Hello All,
    The company I work for currently has a number of server-OS virtual machines running on Hyper-V.
    We also have a number of server-OS virtual machines in VMWare on ESX.
    We are now facing a situation where other teams in our area have virtual machines, like a VM of the Desktop Support Windows 7 environment, where we could potential migrate those into our Hyper-V or ESX environment.  Currently these VMs run locally on
    laptops running VMWare Player.
    Does anyone know of any technical issues that would prevent administrators from migrating desktop-OS VMs into a corporate VM solution?  As far as I can see, it would only be advantageous for the people using these VMs - better snapshot ability, leveraging
    the better performance of an enterprise-class VM hosting solution.

    Firstly just a quick one on your servers.  Depending on how Vital you deem ESX to be for you servers it should be more cost effective for you to look at
    migrating your Server OS on the ESX host or hosts to Hyper-V.
    This is because of licensing at the moment having to license Windows Server and ESX.  If you where to migrate your virtual machines on the ESX hosts over
    to Hyper-V, you can leverage the fact Hyper-V comes with Windows Server and you do not have to pay for aNn additional Hypervisor.  Licensing on Windows server 2012 has been simplified for the best, WinSrv2012 has two versions you can purchase now Standard
    or Datacentre.  They both have exactly the same functionality; the difference is the virtualisation rights.  With standard one license covers two physical processors and supports two virtual machines, if you need more virtual machines then you would
    have to buy another standard license and giving the right to four virtual machines for example.  Then for datacentre one license covers two physical processors and covers you for an unlimited amount of virtual operating systems.
    Meaning if you are already purchasing Windows Server 2012 and especially in the datacentre edition you can utilise your investment in to Microsoft technology
    save you money, entering a more virtualised environment.
    As for what would prevent Desktop-OS VMs being converted, this should not be a technical issue Microsoft and other 3rd party companies have tools for converting
    VMware Virtual machines in to VHD files to use on a Hyper-V server. A Microsoft tool for example would be:
    Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution Accelerator
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34591
    Although that being said it would be much more advantageous for us to know what you are trying to achieve with your Desktop VMs and what they are currently being
    used for at the moment to best suggest your next plan of action.
    This is because if you end up scrapping the personal VMs on laptops you might start looking at the enhanced Remote desktop services function within Windows Server
    2012.  You could end up looking at using RDS and creating an environment where most of your users remote in to a session based environment.   
    With that though I am going off in a tangent when you start looking at RDS/VDI solutions and what not for a successful project you really need to look at the
    types of user profiles in your environment for example task workers or power users
    Before a waffle on more what I am trying to say is:
    You might want look at your infrastructure as a whole and look at maybe migrating over as much as you can to Hyper-V
    Then from a Desktop point of view it is technically possible to convert VMWare Files to VHD files suitable for Hyper-V
    Although before you jump in with both feet you need to be clear with what you are trying to achieve and what capabilities you want/need.
    hope something in there helps
    Cheers,
    Harry

  • Live Migration with Different CPU versions on the hosts, win 2012R2 Datacenter

    Hello
    This question have been asked in different forums but when I read the the thread's I feel that I get mixed answers.
    And most answers are dating from 2012 (Win 2008R2), I don't know if they are still correct in win 2012R2.
    So now I ask the question myself and hope to get at clear answer :)
    We are in the process of installing a new Hyper-V cluster using Win srv 2012 R2 Datacenter as OS.
    I'm planning to re-use some of the "old" servers from our current Hyper-V 2008 R2 cluster, removing it from the cluster and do a clean installation of 2012R2 Datacenter.
    But I will need to buy two new servers to manage this (with a new version of CPU, same brand (AMD))
    Old server: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6172 (12 Cores)
    New server:
    AMD Opteron™ 6344 (12-core)
    Now my question:
    Will Live Migration work between these servers in my new cluster without me doing any special settings in hyper-v or in the VM or what do I need to do to get this to work?
    /Anders

    Hi,
    It is important that all the hardware supporting Windows Server 2012 Failover Clusters be certified to work with Windows Server 2012. 
    In a cluster where all the nodes of the cluster are exactly the same, hardware migration is fairly straightforward. There are no concerns about differences in hardware, and
    especially no concerns about different capabilities of the CPUs.

    You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
    Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
    Choose Copy, then click OK.
    Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
    Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
    its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
    Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
    specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
    password).
    When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
    Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
    I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

  • Migrating KMS Services from Server 2003 Servers to Server 2012 R2

    We have two Windows Server 2003 boxes that a previous administrator had setup as our KMS Servers. 
    These servers appear to be activating Office 2010, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008R2 and 2003
    I can see these activations taking place in the KMS logs on each server.
    The question is what are the steps that we need to take to get the KMS Services migrated to Server 2012 without causing any activation issues in the current environment?  I've be unable to come up with the proper order of operations from researching
    blogs and I'm just not sure how to get where I need to go, what keys to use etc.
    Since this was setup by a previous administrator, there is no documentation on what was done, what keys were used etc.
    KMS Server 1:
    slmgr /dlv   
    Name:  Office(TM) 14, ProPlusKMSHost edition   (Partial Product Key C6PWX)
    Description:  Office(TM) 14 KMS, VOLUME_KMS channel
    Name:   Windows(TM) Server 2003 KMS, W7R2-Kms3 edition
    Description:   Windows(TM) Server 2003 KMS, VOLUME_KMS_R2_B channel (Partial Product Key VX348)
    KMS Server 2:
    slmgr /dlv   
    Name:  Office(TM) 14, ProPlusKMSHost edition   (Partial Product Key 3T9QW)
    Description:  Office(TM) 14 KMS, VOLUME_KMS channel
    Name:   Windows(TM) Server 2003 KMS, W7R2-Kms3 edition
    Description:   Windows(TM) Server 2003 KMS, VOLUME_KMS_R2_B channel (Partial Product Key TT78P)
    Of Note, we are a Microsoft Software Assurance customer and have Volume Licensing
    In Summary, I would like to understand how to move my KMS Services to a new 2012 Server(s) and decommission the old 2003 boxes running KMS without disruption.  As a final step I'd also like to be able to activate Windows 8, Server 2012, and Office 2013.

    Hi,
    If you wanted to slowly transition and verify... you could stand up new KMS host and make the priority of the SRV record lower so that clients will always connect to new server first and fall back to original box second.
    Steps to migrating the KMS:
    1. Uninstall the KMS host key first by running the following command:
    slmgr -upk
    2. Then, install the default kms key by running the following command:
    slmgr /ipk [KMS Client Setup Key]
    The default KMS client setup keys can be found here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303280.aspx
    3. Delete the record from the DNS:
    Open DNS console:
    Expand _tcp node under the domain.com. There will be a record _VLMCS. Delete this record.
    4. The KMS server is uninstalled.
    5. To install KMS on a new server, enter:
    cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsKey>
    then to activate the KMS host, enter:
    cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
    6. After activation is complete, restart the Software Licensing Service.
    7. Verify that the record is created for the new server in the DNS.
    To verify that the KMS host is configured correctly, you can check the KMS count to see if it is increasing. Run slmgr.vbs /dli on the KMS host to obtain the current KMS count. You can also check the Key Management Service log in the Applications and Services
    Logs folder for 12290 events, which records activation requests from KMS clients. Each event displays the name of the computer and the time-stamp of an individual activation request.

  • How to transfer files from virtual machine to host machine

    Hello, 
    I want to know how to copy files from virtual machine o host machine while the virtual machine running. I can't share files from virtual machine because i am just studying for mcsa in company computer. I can't connect my virtual machine to same network so
    i'm using a different ip range and i created a internal network switch for my virtual machines in hyper-v. Please give me a best solution for my studies.
    Regards,
    Ashane Deshapriya.
    Ashane Deshapriya ( MCP )

    Finally I got the solution...
    Here is how you can share files between a Hyper-V host and any virtual machines running on that host.
    If you've used Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server, you'll have enjoyed the fact that you can copy and paste between a virtual machine and those platforms. This doesn’t work with Hyper-V however—you can't copy/paste between a VM and the Hyper-V
    host.
    The workaround is to do the following:
    1. On your Hyper-V host, create a shared folder and assign Change permission to Everyone.
    2. On the virtual machine running on the host, open the Network and Sharing Center and enable File and Printer Sharing.
    3. On the virtual machine, click Start and type \\host_name\share_name where host_name is the name of your Hyper-V host and share_name is the name of the share you created.
    4. Press ENTER and an Explorer window will open in the VM showing the contents of the shared folder on the host.
    5. You can now copy files from the VM to the host and vice versa as needed.
    Regards.

  • How to migrate adobe business catalyst cms to another hosting

    how to migrate adobe business catalyst cms to another hosting
    is there any way .. i have tried but how can get database

    BC is a SAAS site so you can not just migrate it to another hosting. You would have to take layouts/templates and export the data as spreadsheets through reports in BC etc.
    From there you would have to replace modules and tags with flat content or what ever the system needs that you migrate to.
    Like with any system to system migration it wont be straight forward or a push click solution.

    I have a Dell Power Edge Server with 1 network card. I have installed VMWare ESXi 5 on it. Created several Windows 2003 Servers Virtual Machines. Networking is working fine all these windows machines. On one of the virtual machines I have installed Oracel VM Server 2.2.2 (Dom0) and on top of it I am trying to install Oracle VM Template for Oracle 11g provided by Oracle. I am having connectivity issues on the Oracle 11gDB (DomU). I can ping and ssh from Dom0 to DomU and vice versa. But I cannot connect the Oracle DB machine from any other machine. I can connect the Oracle VM Server (Dom0) from other computers in my network.
    Any clue what the issue is ?
    Thanks,

  • Migrating KMS server from one computer to another

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to migrate the KMS from one server to another. Thanks in advance

    Steps to migrating the KMS:
    1. Uninstall the KMS host key first by running the following command:
    slmgr -upk
    2. Then, install the default kms key by running the following command:
    slmgr /ipk [KMS Client Setup Key]
    The default KMS client setup keys can be found here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303280.aspx
    3. Delete the record from the DNS:
    Open DNS console:
    Expand _tcp node under the domain.com. There will be a record _VLMCS. Delete this record.
    4. The KMS server is uninstalled.
    5. To install KMS on a new server, enter:
    cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsKey>
    then to activate the KMS host, enter:
    cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
    6. After activation is complete, restart the Software Licensing Service.
    7. Verify that the record is created for the new server in the DNS.
    To verify that the KMS host is configured correctly, you can check the KMS count to see if it is increasing. Run slmgr.vbs /dli on the KMS host to obtain the current KMS count. You can also check the Key Management Service log in the Applications and Services Logs folder for 12290 events, which records activation requests from KMS clients. Each event displays the name of the computer and the time-stamp of an individual activation request.

    Yes, you can.
    You will need to configure the virtual network switch as either internal or external.
    Then, you'll need to specify the IP address of the virtual Domain Controller as a DNS Server on the Windows 8.1 device.
