Monitoring Hyper-V 2012 R2 - Performance Data/Graphs Equivalent to XenCenter/vSphere Client

Hello,
We've just moved away from Xenserver (hooray!) to Hyper-v 2012 R2, but I must admit the best thing about xenserver was xencenter. The ability to see the real time performance of a VM and see its network utlisation/CPU/Memory was very very useful. Also the
same for VMWare vsphere client.
Although Hyper-V 2012 R2 is a lot better than xenserver the realtime monitoring of VM's is awful!
We have SCVMM but that doesn't give you much either, only average CPU data..and only when it decides it will show the graph!
I've tried a few free tools, VMTurbo, Solarwinds VM Monitor (free - which doesn't support 2012 R2) plus some others...but none give us what we want.
I've seen all these other posts about monitoring reports etc which are all good and well but when you need real-time data how are people getting this? We don't want OM as we cannot afford it nor do we want the excess of managing it (not even sure if this
would give us what we want).
Can anyone give me ideas of what they are using for this or what products, I feel MS have messed up a bit here, if they had these features in Hyper-v Manager/Failover Cluster Manager then it would be on a par with VMWare for sure.
Many thanks
Matt

Update:
I've got a trail license of SCOM and installed it and connected to SCVMM (eventually...what a pain having to install extra packages etc!! good stuff MS! You'd think as SCVMM is part of the System Center family it would be easy to connect to SCOM)
I also got the free version of VeamOne as suggested by Leonardo.
SCOM is too complicated and requires far too much configuration just to get simple monitoring from Hyper-V and I really can't believe you need all this extra software just to get performance graphs from Hyper-V/VM's. Really don't want to install extra agents
on the hosts etc goes against Hyper-V best practice about keeping the servers light. Plus even trying to get simple data out of SCOM is tiresome.
VeamOne on the other hand...for a free product does exactly what SCVMM 'should' be doing.
Plus very useful extra info/alert that SCVMM doesn't even show up which I wasn't aware of, SCOM probably would show these alerts after you've spent days and days trying to figure out how to configure it and reading loads of articles.
So unless there is some hidden gem in SCVMM then it needs to be improved greatly on the monitoring side to fully compare with VMWare I believe as the idea of having to setup/configure SCOM just for monitoring is ridiculous.
I'm going to stick with VeamOne for now as its simple, gives me the info I require.

Selecting a boot drive for Hyper-V 2012 server - is a boot drive performance important?

I'm setting up a new Hyper-V 2012 server dedicated to virtualization and I'm trying to determine the best choice for the boot drive.
I have 2x250gb SSD drives i'm considering for storage pools for VM's
I have an old 80GB SATA drive
I'm wondering how important the primary boot drive is in a Win 2012 Hyper-V setup. I can partition one of the SSD's to provide a boot partition, or I can just dedicate the 80GB SATA.
What do you think would be a better choice?
Edit: A more precise question, why not partition the SSD for boot? Is there any benefit for separating the disks for boot vs just the partition?
Thanks,
Deco

Hello,
I hope you are having a great day!
What resources are available to you? If you have hardware RAID, it would be best to configure the SSD drives for RAID 1 (mirrored) and run everything from that. This will provide you fault tolerance in the case of a drive failure.
If hardware RAID is not available to you, then definitely use the 80GB SATA drive as the OS Boot Drive, without a hardware RAID for the OS disks you will have a single point of failure no matter what disks you use. Yes with SATA drive the system will boot
up slower :-( , but that is about the only negative.
This will also enable you to leave the SSD's as RAW un-formatted disks which can then be configured in a Storage Pool with mirroring if you wish and then have the VHD's reside there.
Absolutely, dedicate the SSD's for the placement of the Virtual Machines Config and Vhd/Vhdx Files.
For absolute best performance results use VHDX Fixed disks for maximum performance.
Dynamically expanding VHDX will have a minor almost unnoticeable performance hit (depending on the purpose of the VM) and help ensure that the amount of hard disk space the VHDX file is occupying is kept to a minimum. An example of degradation in performance
would become noticeable if for instance, the VM is being used as a file repository and users are constantly uploading files.
The bottom line is, if you don't have hardware RAID for the OS you always have a single point of failure, so hope for the best and keep great backups.

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.

Report/Widget for combined performance data

Hello.
I have created a dashboard view in SCOM 2012 R2 for power consumption of a number of servers. These servers are all part of a group. The power consists of a couple of different performance monitors (VMWare-sensor for VMs and Power Meter from the Power
Consumption MP)
The dashboard view works well, however I am after a total figure for each server in the group. Ideally this figure would be on the dashboard view as well.
E.g. if I have 3 servers with the below power draw
Server 1 – 150 Watts
Server 2 – 200 Watts
Server 3 – 300 Watts
I would like a box stating total power 650 Watts
If this is not available in a dashboard view, a report would be okay
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no direct way, you may create a sql query and sum the value for each server.

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:

General hardware monitoring on SCOM 2012 R2

Hello everybody. Sorry for maybe common question, i'm absolutely newbie in SCOM. I'm standing at task of monitoring basic servers counters - Memory utilization, disk free space & CPU utilization. After reading some articles about SCOM architecture I
get a little frustrated - cannot get full understanding about monitoring mechanisms. What I want from my monitors:
- Monitor 2,3...N groups of servers with _different_ disk free space thresholds and sending alerts (email) to specific people.
I've already have imported management pack for Windows OS, configure channels & subscribers.
I get a lot of question trying to configure such monitoring, maybe you can help me (or send me to manuals)
1. I can use monitor's for specific OS (i.e. logical disk free space), then I need to override it(why? I can't use it?) and select servers.
2. How can I map a group of servers to monitor?
3. Do I need rules?
4. New monitor sets in installed agents automatically?
Cannot understand steps, in which I should resolve my task..

1. Windows OS management pack has default monitor for disk free space and CPU utilization. If you 2,3,...N groups of servers with different disk free space thresholds, you should create Groups which contains the required servers and using override with target
of the gorups.
For how to create an override, pls. refer
http://jimmoldenhauer.blogspot.hk/2012/11/scom-2012-creating-overides.html
2. The target of the monitor is set to the groups of server
3. It depend on situation
Rules do not affect the health state of the target object. They are used for one of three functions
a) Alerting Rules
Alerting rules create an alert when a particular event is detected. This can be any of the different kinds of events shown in Data Sources. Alerting rules do not affect health state.
b) Collection Rules
Collection rules collect events or performance data to the Operations Manager database and data warehouse. They do not create alerts or set health state.
Collection rules can use each of the data sources shown in Data Sources. The data will be converted to either an event or to performance data depending on the particular kind of collection rule you are creating. For some wizards, you will need to provide
the specific information from the data source that will be used for different properties of the data being collected.
c) Command Rules
Command rules will run a script or command on a schedule. They do not create alerts or collect any data.
4) All agents will automatic download updated its monitor and rule which applicable to the server.

Monitoring Hyper-V

Hi all I was trying to get the below counters being monitor on SCOM 2012. Do I need the Perfmon to be
enabled on the Hyper-V host for SCOM 2012 to be able to monitor the counters below ?
I was reading somewhere where it's recommended to use System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to
monitor Hyper-V performance. How different is it from SCOM ?
Counters:
Hyper-V HypervisorLogical Processor\% Total Run Time
Hyper-V HypervisorVirtual Processor\% Guest Run Time
\Memory\Available Mbytes
Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Balancer\Average Pressure

No. You does not need to enable Perform. It is strong recommend that you should download System Center 2012 Management Pack for Windows Server Hyper-V 2012 for monitoring HYper-V.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36438
SCOM 2012 is a monitoring tool which has full set of feature on monitoring Hyer-V machine. However, SCVMM is mainly VMM managment tool which has limit monitoring feature.

VM Protection running on Hyper-V 2012 R2 with DPM 2010

Hi everyone,
We recently setup a new Hyper-V 2012 R2 server hosting virtual machine running with a Win2012 R2 server OS and 2008R2 standard Edition
Our backup solution is still running DPM 2010.
As I understand from the DPM Protection Support Matrix, You can only protect virtual machine running on a hyper-v server under Windows 2012 R2 OS with DPM 2012 R2. Isn't there possible any walkaround to have the vm protection working on dpm2010?
Otherwise, if we choose to protect the VM at guest level instead of host-level, is DPM able to perform the recovery point?
For instance, we've got a VM running a SQL database. We would like specifically to back up that SQL database running on that virtual machine.Is DPM able to perfom that job?
Regards,
Evan

Hi,
To remain in a supported configuration you need to a DPM 2012 R2 server to protect the Windows 2012 R2 hyper-v server. Unfortunately, the path to get there from DPM 2012 is not an easy one.
Upgrade steps.
Note: the Operating system and SQL requirements for DPM 2012
System Requirements for DPM in System Center 2012
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757757.aspx
1) On DPM 2010 install the latest update: KB2751231 Description of hotfix rollup package 7 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
2) Update the Agents to 3.0.8195.0
3) Backup the DPM 2010 database.
4) Upgrade to DPM 2012 and update agents.
5) Install the latest DPM 2012 update and Update agents.
6) Backup the DPM 2012 database.
7) Upgrade to DPM 2012 Sp1 and update agents.

Hyper-V 2012 VM replication as SCOM/SQL DR solution

Hi all,
Anyone out there using Hyper-V VM replicas of SCOM and SQL servers as a DR solution for SCOM?
Is it supported?
We are running Hyper-V 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 SP1, and SQL 2012. We created Hyper-V replicas of SCOM and SQL server on a different Hyper-V host. Turned off the primary SQL and SCOM VMs to simulate a disaster and performed a fail-over in Hyper-V. After a few
manual steps the SCOM server seemed to work fine.
I could go into more details, but overall is it a supported solution? Looks too simple and good to be true :-).
Our RPO, RTOs are quite flexible for SCOM.
Thanks.

Hi,
Although there is no official document, but from my point of view, hyper-v replica is one way to keep data in two places, this way to have a data backup.
And the most official way is to do database back up, and here is the article about how to do DR for SCOM:
Disaster Recovery in System Center 2012 - Operations Manager
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh531578.aspx
As far as I know, hyper-v replica is used to prevent hardware damage causing loosing data.

Are Hyper-V 2012R2 checkpoints Application data consistent? How does it use now VSS during checkpoints creation?

Are Hyper-V 2012R2 checkpoints Application data consistent? How does it now use VSS during checkpoints creation?
I read the article http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=15759 that now WS2012 R2 Hyper-V changed how it performs backups.
That is unofficial info. I can't find any info about that in msdn, but that is critical.That is about data integrity.
Is this true?
Does this mean that we may not use VSS in Hyper V server backup application any more? Will Hyper-V 2012R2 host (WM is running) when i am creating a checkpoint,
call VSS to only flush VSS Writers during this process for target child VM to make application data crash consistent state? And the volume shadow copy wn't be used? Only vhdx +avhdx witch will merged later, right?

There are a couple levels to this.
If VSS is there, VSS is used (just as before). But there is a bit more happening around it than simply placing the VM in a saved state.
However, if VSS is not there (in the VM) then the behavior is slightly different (this is really to support Linux VMs that don't support VSS) - and still achieve a good VM backup.
In another blog post I see it described this way:
Online backup for Linux VMs – even though there’s no VSS support in Linux, the Microsoft guys have managed to find a way to create consistent backups of running Linux VMs, by doing what’s essentially called a “filesystem freeze” by briefly stopping
all disk I/O inside the VM until the host creates a VSS snapshot of the VM on the host (thus getting a file-consistent backup with zero downtime) – once the snapshot is done, disk I/O is resumed and then the actual file copy process starts
Flemming shows the process here:
http://flemmingriis.com/changes-in-hyper-v-backup-in-2012-r2/
If you are calling VSS to perform a backup - nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed is the 'how it happens' , not the 'what you get' and 'how you call it'
This way if you call VSS to perform a backup - you get a good one, no matter the OS in the VM, nor its support for VSS.

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 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.

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
