Modify the headless options of the BIOS on a Hyper-V Virtual Machine

Hi everyone,
I am attempting to do something which is (surprisingly) complex using a Hyper-V virtual machine.  Using VMware Workstation I have been able to boot from the network using VMware autodeploy.  This loads ESXi 5.5 as the operating system.  This
works great, but I would like to try to accomplish he same feat using Hyper-V, and I've succeeded.  This creates is a nested ESXi 5.5 host.
The process was long and painful, but I have gotten to the point that I am able to successfully boot a Hyper-V virtual machine off the network (legacy network card as the boot device) then load the OS.  The only problem is that in order to get it to
boot I need to hit shift + o during the ESXi boot startup, and enter the following line:
ignoreHeadless=TRUE
The problem is that I can't do this manually every time.  To understand how to fix this, I first needed to understand what exactly "ignoreHeadless=TRUE" was doing.  My understanding is that this has to do with the display, specifically:
"Some systems which have a video display device can be configured to report themselves as headless via the configuration, usually in the system BIOS."
I believe this is my issue, by default a Windows Hyper-V virtual machine reports itself as headless, therefore you need to ignore this configuration on startup or ESXi thinks there is a display error. 
My question is, can I fix this from the virtual machine side?  Can I modify the virtual machine so that it does NOT report itself as headless? 

Hi,
The Hyper-V is the full virtualization technology, and it must installed on bare-metal computer, personal experience, if you are using the WDS with Hyper-V environment to
deploy the Windows system, the performance will lower than the physical computer and you must choose the corresponding method if you have the different environment.

  • Windows 8 Hyper-V - Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine

    I have Hyper-v running on Dell Precision T3600 with Windows 8 OS.  I am trying to start a VM (called Windows8VM) to install Windows 8 in the hyper-v virtual machine, but I keep getting the following message:

    Okay,  I turned off hyper-v, went to bios and enabled Intel TXT(LT-SX) Configuration.  Made sure that both Virtualization and VT for Direct I/0 are on.  Next, I turned on Hyper-V and I create a brand new Virtual Machine call Windows8 and had
    the DVD point to Windows8 ISO file on hard drive.  When I clicked on start, it stayed in the Starting status mode for about 5 minutes.  Then of course it failed.  I looked at the Hyper-V-VMMS log and here is what it output:

  • Error Creating VM on 2011 iMac - The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service encountered an unexpected error: The remote procedure call failed. (0x800706BE).

    I am running Hyper-V in Windows 8.1 on a late 2011 27 inch iMac. Whenever I try to create a virtual machine I get the error below and Windows warns that it will restart in 1 minute. I tried a clean install of Windows, but my PC still crashes ever
    time I try to create a VM. I was able to successfully use Hyper-V in prior versions of Windows on this same PC. Any clue as to what is going on? A driver? Windows 8.1? Mac Hardware related?

    Hi CharlesPool,
    I am assuming that the win8.1 is in-place updated from win8 .
    Maybe you need to check the state of hypervisorlaunchtype .
    If it is off , please run command " bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto "

  • How can I know the version of Application Server Java Virtual Machine

    How can I know the version of Application Server Java Virtual Machine?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thats easy. Your jdk/jre are located in the App Server home directory. Just run the java command under the jdk directory with the "-version" switch and it will provide you with detailed information about your VM.
    For example if you're doing it at command prompt it will be something like
    java -versionI hope this will be useful to you.

  • The hyper-v virtual machine management service encountered an unexpected error logon failure 0x80070569

    I dont understand why Microsoft people can't make things simpler
    They are LITERALLY MOTHER F%^%RS
    Bill Gate and his team need to learn hot to F^&&IN make things.

    I agree, the use of profanity is completely unnecessary, we've all been in the stressful situation before, it still doesn't call for it.
    The network you're receiving an APIPA IP on, is it the virtual switch you setup when adding the Hyper-V role?  If so you can get the warnings to go away and subsequently hide the adapter by unchecking the 'Allow host to manage this adapter' setting
    in the virtual network manager of Hyper-V manager on each node.
    Tim is also right, while disk resources are only owned by one node, you'll see the mount points for CSVs located under C:\ClusterStorage.
    More importantly, you're logon issue sounds directly related to group policy.  I had the same problem moving to Server 2012.  Yes, it's an annoying process but in the end you will have a working cluster.  I did the following steps:
    1. Install 'Group Policy Manager' on one of the nodes in your Hyper-V cluster
    2. Log on to the node you installed it on with a Domain Admin or appropriately endowed account that can edit the GPO relating to 'Logon as a service right'
    3. Edit the GPO where you specify who can logon as a server, OR if you don't have one, make a new one and link it to the OU with the Hyper-V nodes
    4. Add permission to that right for 'NT Virtual Machine\Virtual Machine Group', save and exit
    5. As an optional step I would reboot the nodes so you make sure they get it
    The problem here is that security group ONLY exists on servers that have Hyper-V installed on them.  If you add the group on a machine that has it to the GPO, the SID for the group is saved and each Hyper-V host will know what group that is.  The
    problem you're having right now is most likely related to a GPO changing 'Logon as a service right' to your needs and setup in Group Policy.  When a Hyper-V node starts up, it automatically adds the right for that group to the local security policy, however,
    group policy's auto refresh will remove it after a certain amount of time.

  • Hyper-V virtual machines may not start, and receive the error: Microsoft Emulated IDE Controller (Instance ID {83F8638B-8DCA-4152-9EDA-2CA8B33039B4}): Failed to Power on

    I have used the Article ID: 2249906 to try and resove this error. It only started since I have created a dediacted SQL 2008 Server on the network. This is my attempt, so far using icacls:

    Any ideas as this is becoming very disruptive to the network as the VM is a DC.
    Many Thanks

    From your description it sounds as if you have two VMs trying to use the exact same virtual disk.  And this is not possible without using differencing disks in between.  (it will give the error you describe when trying to power on the second).
    Beyond that, I would have expected the configuraiton change to work.  Another possibility is simply creating a new VM using the existing virutal disk.  This is non-descructive as well and absolutely re-creates all of the VM objects and generates
    new security identifiers.
    If that does not work, then there is more to this puzzle than has been mentioned here and you will need to provide greater detail.

  • Hyper-V - 'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'

    Hi all,
    Having a bit of a nightmare with Hyper-V on my Windows 8 Pro laptop - Whenever I create a new VM and try to start it I receive the following error;
    'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'
    I sometimes also receive an error saying something along the lines of 'Unable to change virtual machine state'
    I have done a lot of searching a seen two common answers - The first is to try removing the Hyper-V role and re-adding it - I have tried this several times to no avail. (Intel VT and all virtualisation capabilities are enabled in BIOS). The second issue
    it would seem
    some people have had relates to editing the VMX configuration file and adding the line
    hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" - I thought VMX files were only present in VMware Virtual Machines...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.
    James

    The hypervisor event log message is generated only at boot - so this would be expected.  Also vmbus should not be running on the host (I was looking at a VM yesterday)...  This error message is generated only when the vid is determined not to be
    running or cannot communicate with the hypervisor.
    I have seen this due to anti-virus software in the past or due to driver verifier being configured.  Since it looks like you checked driver verifier already do you have anti-virus software installed?  If so have you followed the best practices
    and exempted the Hyper-v services? 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283088(WS.10).aspx
    To resolve this problem, configure the real-time scanning component within your antivirus software to exclude the following directories and files:
    Default virtual machine configuration directory (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V)
    Custom virtual machine configuration directories
    Default virtual hard disk drive directory (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks)
    Custom virtual hard disk drive directories
    Custom replication data directories, if you are using Hyper-V Replica
    Snapshot directories
    Vmms.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)

  • Can I restore a backup from my PC to the Mac in Parallels or other virtual simulator?

    What I want to do:
    I would like to backup my PC environment AS IS and restore it in Parallels or another virtual environment. Is that feasible? What would I use to do that? I use StorageCraft's ShadowProtect to back up my system each night. StorageCraft apparently has no experience in doing this either. If it is not feasible, what is my best solution
    Background:
      I have a PC that has over 30 programs that I use in a PC environment. To install my environment takes over 35 steps and 2 days of installation. Granted, some of those programs can be substituted with Mac equivaltents, but some cannot and I would like to buy some of the more expensive programs a little at a time. Restoring my environment takes very little time.

    Both Parallels and VMWare Fusion offer "migration" programs that will attempt to transfer the Windows PC into a new Virtual Machine on the Mac if the Windows PC is on the network.  That machine generally will boot just fine.
    HOWEVER the problem that will arise comes from Microsoft's licensing.  If you have an OEM version of Windows on the old PC (which 99% of users will, since they buy a Dell, Lenovo, etc. with Windows pre-installed) the OEM version is licensed only to run on that *ONE* CPU.  Thus when you try and boot that machine it will boot, but Windows will not be able to authenticate the license.  Microsoft's servers will discover you have "moved" the system to a new CPU.
    At that point you *might* be able to figure out how to buy a license from Microsoft that the Windows machine can recognize.  I did get Microsoft support to help with that once, but it was a bit of a convoluted process.  The problem isn't buying the license--that's easy.  The problem is getting the version of Windows you have to accept the license number and register itself. 
    As well, sometimes Microsoft has been known to offer a "become legal" option when faced with an unauthorized copy and may offer to sell you authorization.  If you get that dialog things are a lot simpler :-) .
    If you actually orignally installed a "retail box" version (not an OEM) of Windows on the original machine then you won't have any of these problems, as that license *can* be transferred to new equipment.  The program will still want to reauthenticate but Microsoft will give your copy the "OK" once it confirms the license and finds it's a full retail license.  Note that OEM versions are available for stand-alone sale, theoretically for those building their own system, so just the fact you bought it from NewEgg doesn't mean it was "retail"--retail versions come in retail packaging (fancy box), while OEM version tend to come simply in mailing sleeves.
    Office is also sold both ways, though more users have the retail version.  But if you bought Office with your Windows PC then you may find that license also cannot be transferred and you'll have to buy a new version of Office for the Windows virtual machine.  Various other Windows software may have licensing quirks you'll run into with a transfer.
    With full retail licensed copies of the Microsoft software, the process is dirt simple.  But, as I said, Microsoft doesn't sell most of the copies of Windows that way, rather selling "one machine" linked versions of the operating system that can't be moved to new machines.
    The advantage of the transfer is clear--if you do it, you skip the whole mess of having to reinstall all of the software and rebuild the Windows machine from scratch. Unfortunately Microsoft offers nothing like the Migration Assistant.  The disadvantage is the same as using the Migration Assistant--you end up "inheritiing" various issues, along with the setup, from the old machine and transfer that onto the new one.
    Note, as well, that you really are in no worse shape (and potentailly better shape) than if you had bought a new Windows PC.

  • Unable to recreate replica as I cannot delete the xml files for the old VM on Hyper-v Cluster

    My setup
    There are 2 sites each running a Hyper-v 2012-R2 cluster comprising of 5 nodes each.
    All the machines are in a HA state and stored on the shared clustered resource.
    Initially we had replication working and it was replicating all the servers from Site A to Site B
    There were some replication issues which needed me to stop the replication and redo it again, in doing so I firstly removed replication on Fail-over cluster manager on Site A and did the same on Site B.
    On one of the servers I had to remove the VM, although the VM config and Disks still remain on the Site B Cluster.
    I was trying to recreate the replica but it always fails with the following error :
    Hyper-v failed to enable replication for virtual machine xxxxxxxx operation aborted (0x80004004).....
    I followed an article to stop the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management Service and try delete the file,
    When i tried to stop the service it would restart automatically and I was unable to delete the file. I put the service in disabled which kept it stopped however I was still unable to delete the files. I also tried to get File assassin which can help delete
    and clear locked files but it too was unable to delete it while the service was running or stopped as well as its additional mode whereby it will delete it on next reboot.
    The  Article Https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/4c4f2535-81ee-4a21-a920-b5632de2be37/hyperv-old-vm-folders-cannot-be-deleted?forum=winserverhyperv
     makes mention of stopping another service Hyper-V
    Image Management Service but I am unable to find it on 2012-R2 server.
    I have also tried to put the additional nodes in a paused drained roles state leaving only one node as the active one but it still will not let me delete the VM config
    files, without removing those files I cannot re-initiate the Replication.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you storage migrate any other vms or resources off of the CSV that contains the XML file in question? If so you may be able to then take that CSV offline, remove it from available storage, re-add as available storage, and add to CSV Volumes. Maybe
    that will clear your lock. 

  • Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

    I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks.  The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed.  I wish
    to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8.  Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation? 
    If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
    This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

    Technically, no.  The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system.  It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
    You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM.  A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
    Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
    Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
    A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
    for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
    You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
    The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

  • Virtual machine VHD file is missing the "Virtual Machine" Security group from ACL

    Hey All,
    Doing support work for a client and they are unable to take snapshots from certain vm's. I think this is down the VM not having the virtual machines security group within its ACL instead is seems to just have two GUIDs. to me if looks like the vm's have
    been moved and imported or something like that but was obviously not done correctly.
    When taking a snapshot they get a general access denied error
    Does anyone know a quick way to add the virtual machines security group back into the ACL, I did find some powershell commands however this errored stating I could not change the owner of the group.
    I'll keep looking but if someone knows a quick fix for this I would appreciate it. One other thing I had thought of was turning the vm off, The creating a new Virtual machine and attaching the VHD as the new VM? Would this work?
    thanks in advanced

    Hi Dunn2010,
    Yes , please try to copy the VHD then create a new virtual machine and attach the replication .
    If it is possible please try to find the relevant Error messege of your question in event log and post it here .
    Any further information please feel free to let us know.

  • [SOLVED] VMPlayer error: 'The virtual machine is busy'

    Hello,
    I encounter an error when I try to open my Windows XP virtual machine. VMPlayer say me that 'the virtual machine is busy', but there aren't others virtual machines that are already running.
    I try to find a fix on google, but it seams that usually this bug is related on the file /etc/vmware/not_configured. This is not my case, because I haven't this file.
    I'm running Arch 32-bit with the official Arch kernel 3.0. I already patched my VMPlayer with this solution that I've found on the wiki:
    # sed 's/\x83\xe8\x03\x83\xf8\x01\x0f\x96\xc0/\x83\xe8\x02\x83\xf8\x01\x0f\x96\xc0/' -i /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmware-modconfig-console.so/libvmware-modconfig-console.so
    # sed 's/\x83\xe8\x03\x83\xf8\x01\x0f\x96\xc0/\x83\xe8\x02\x83\xf8\x01\x0f\x96\xc0/' -i /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmware-modconfig.so/libvmware-modconfig.so

    Just a few things to do, I have no miracle solutions.
    Try to reset vmware to default. remove the ~/.vmware directory. Are you sure vmware is correctly installed? Try to reboot to be sure that there is no weird daemons in the background. Can you run vmware at all (try to create a new virtual machine that you attach to a bootable CD image). As a last resort I would remove everything except the hard disk (the vmdk file(s)), recreate a virtual machine and reattach the hard disk.
    I also rn vmware but I have installed the lts kernel. This is a 2.6.32 kernel and so there is no need to apply weird patches to vmware. But I cannot say it is related to that.
