Move Virtual Machine Storage stuck "Loading" CSVs

As I understand it the "Move Virtual Machine Storage" screen is supposed to enumerate the CSVs available to the cluster in the bottom left portion of the window. It seems to be stuck on a "Loading..." status and never shows the
CSVs. Also, when I try the "Add Share" button and type in a share to use it doesn't do anything. Thoughts?

Failed to move virtual machine storage

Hello guys.
I am trying to move a VM from a hyper-v 2012 R2 Failover cluster to a non clustered host (2012).
Let's say that the VM i need to move outside the cluster is called VM1. VM1's VHDX is on cluster's CSV. VM1 resides on node HV05
Cluster is called cluster01.
The host outside the cluster (but in the same domain) is HV25.
I've created a share folder on HV25 called SharedFolder (\\HV25\SharedFolder). I've shared this folder with domain admin user.
In ADUC i've created constrain delegation using Kerberos for cifs service on bothe Cluster01 and hv25
I tried to move VM1's storage to the shared folder from HV25.
The error i get is: Migration did not succeed. Failed to copy file c:\ClusterStorage\Volume2\VMs\VM1\vm1.vhdx to \\hv25\vm1\vm1.vhdx: General access devnied error (0x80070005).
In cluster's machine event viewer i get: Storage migration for virtual machine 'VM1' (D13DAEC6-F811-427D-8A06-8F960B3F3B3F) failed with error 'General access denied error' (0x80070005). EventID 20820.
Can anyone help me understand what am I missing, please?
Thank you very much.

Move Virtual Machine from Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Hyper-V Server 2012 fails with Error 2901

I have six Hyper-V 2008 R2 SP1 servers and two Hyper-V 2012 servers. I am running SCVMM 2012 SP1. I am trying to use "move virtual machine" from within SCVMM to move VMs from a 2008 host to a 2012 host. I have tried different VMs on different hosts
and they all fail with this error:
==========
Error (2901)
The operation did not complete successfully because of a parameter or call sequence that is not valid.
The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the parameters are valid, and then try the operation again.
==========
I have successfully created a VM on one of the 2012 hosts and moved it to the other 2012 hosts. I can move VMs from 2008 host to 2008 host. I just cannot move VMs from 2008 host to 2012 host.
Does SCVMM 2012 SP1 not support moving VMs from Hyper-V 2008 to Hyper-V 2012?

Hello Kevin,
Have you got an resolution yet ? Do you have latest update roll up pack applied to SCVMM 2012 SP1?
With SCVMM 2012 SP1 " Running VMs (Live Migartion) and VMs which are in Saved state or having checkpoints can not be migrated from 2008R2 host to 2012 Host "
above was fixed in SCVMM 2012 Update Roll up 1
Apart this please check the approx. size of data (VHDs) which will get transferred over the network , If you have large files chances are more to get such errors.
Thanks

Help! Azure Cloud Services and Virtual Machine Web Servers Load Balancing

I have a cloud service. I have two virtual machines setup as web servers each with IIS installed. I have configured my domain registrar to point my domain name to the cloud service IP address. I also went into the endpoints of each virtual machine and verified
that I have http port 80 setup on both in a load balanced set.
I am unable to access websites on either server at this point. DNS propogation site shows "error: token mismatch"...this has been setup since yesterday and still error.
Can anyone assist me in where I went wrong? Am I confused to how the cloud service should work? I am assuming it will allow me to load balance the two virtual machines in the way I have configured above. Please help!!!!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in here.
We are checking on this issue and will get back at earliest.

Oracle RAC stop working when i move virtual machine to another computer.

Hi!
I have OGI and one database RAC installed in two virtual machines (VMWare Server 2.02) . They are working fine.
These virtual machines are using a DNS installeld on the host machine to get the SCAN address.
But my problems began when i tried to copy these virtual machines to my personal computer, where i also have VMWare Server 2.0.2 installed.
When i start them the crs doesn´t start fine.
A commnad like crsctl start crs OR crsctl start cluster shows a Ohas comunication issue.
Any idea?

Any idea?Review OS logs, CRS logs to see if you can find any hints. Have you checked to see that all of the host IP addresses and clusterware IP addresses are bound to the virtual NICs properly? I suspect it has something to do with the virtualized networking stack, but it's hard to say without any other information.

"Unable to start the application - The Java Virtual Machine cannot be loade

I have been trying to instal an old scanner using its CD, and during the process, at about configure files, the error message in title comes up.
Is this why the HP scanner Director won't scan a document, saying the scanner is not connected properly?

If it works on the one computer, see what JRE you have - if any by doing this: go to a command prompt(used to call it a DOS window) and key in:
java -versionAlternatively, go to your add/remove programs menu and scan for a Java version.
Whichever version is mentioned - go to
the http://java.sun.com/products/archive/
... get that and put it on your other computer.

Starting Virtual Machine will not start from hibernate mode.

Hi. I had a BSOD and upon rebooting my machine one of my virtual machines is stuck in "hibernate" mode and will not boot up.
I attempted to restore to previous versions of the vmc, but that did not work.
The error i receive is.
"Could not enable integration functions"
Retry or Continue.
Selecting "Continue" states "the operation failed. The virtual machine is not running"
Does anyone have any idea how to get a VPC up and running from this situation?
Thanks, Tim

Azure virtual machine not discovering

We created our back-up vault yesterday. Agents have been installed without any problems. Vault/Virtual machine/storage is all in the same region but it doesn't seem to find any azure virtual machines.
Regards,

Hi PCSKnokke,
Are the VMs in a healthy state? If yes, I can look up in the backend to see what is going on. If you can share some information about the VM (name, region) then I can look this up. If you cannot share this information on a public forum, please direct-message
me on Twitter (@AzureBackup).
Meanwhile, there are issues that we are fixing and perhaps the problem you are facing will get resolved in one of the hotfixes that we will do. Let's investigate anyhow.
Regards,
Aashish
Added everything to the same subsription and tried it again. Now it seems to work. Could it be that if you use multiple subscriptions (VM on one subscription, backup vault on other subscription) that this doesn't work?

Error: 1238 when creating vm template from a virtual machine

Hi,
I encounter a issue when creating a VM template from a virtual machine whihc is store on hyper host, Can anyone give a suggestion to resolve it.
The virtual machine Windows 2008 R2 20110722 cannot be used in this operation because it is on a perimeter network.
Move virtual machine Windows 2008 R2 20110722 off of the perimeter network or select a virtual machine that is not on a perimeter network, and then try the operation again.
ID: 1238
Many thanks in advance.

vCenter has a different concept of what it means to be a template than SCVMM does.
If you are copying the VHD to the SCVMM Library and building a Template form that, be sure that the OS in the VM is generalized by running sysprep.
Otherwise, your VMs from that template will fail deployment. This is what the SCVMM process of creating a Template from a VM does, it applies sysprep to the VM, then copies it (the VM (VHD + configuration) to the Library, then deletes it.
You can also compose a template using a sysprep prepared VHD that already exists in the Library.
Now, a non-domain joined Hyper-V server is a different thing from a 'perimeter' host. That has to do with how it was added to SCVMM.

Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1: Killing a Virtual Machine

The iSCSI volume that was acting as the "physical" disk for the virtual machine "SLES-11-SP2" unexpectedly crashed and the virtual machine is stuck "in limbo".

Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V - Cluster Sharded Storage - VHDX unexpectedly gets copied to System Volume Information by "System", Virtual Machines stops respondig

We have a problem with one of our deployments of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V with a 2 node cluster connected to a iSCSI SAN.
Our setup:
Hosts - Both run Windows Server 2012 Standard and are clustered.
HP ProLiant G7, 24 GB RAM. This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM. This is the secondary host that and is intended to be used in case of failure of the primary host.
We have no antivirus on the hosts and the scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off.
iSCSI SAN:
QNAP NAS TS-869 Pro, 8 INTEL SSDSA2CW160G3 160 GB i a RAID 5 with a Host Spare. 2 Teamed NIC.
Switch:
DLINK DGS-1210-16 - Both the network cards of the Hosts that are dedicated to the Storage and the Storage itself are connected to the same switch and nothing else is connected to this switch.
Virtual Machines:
3 Windows Server 2012 Standard - 1 DC, 1 FileServer, 1 Application Server.
1 Windows Server 2008 Standard Exchange Server.
All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
Updates
We have applied the most resent updates to the Hosts, VMs and iSCSI SAN about 3 weeks ago with no change in our problem and we continually update the setup.
Normal operation:
Normally this setup works just fine and we see no real difference in speed in startup, file copy and processing speed in LoB applications of this setup compared to a single host with two 10000 RPM Disks. Normal network speed is 10-200 Mbit, but occasionally
we see speeds up to 400 Mbit/s of combined read/write for instance during file repair.
Our Problem:
Our problem is that for some reason a random VHDX gets copied to System Volume Information by "System" of the Clusterd Shared Storage (i.e. C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\System Volume Information).
All VMs stops responding or responds very slowly during this copy process and you can for instance not send CTRL-ALT-DEL to a VM in the Hyper-V console, or for instance start task manager when already logged in.
This happens at random and not every day and different VHDX files from different VMs gets copied each time. Some time it happens during daytime wich causes a lot of problems, especially when a 200 GB file gets copied (which take a lot of time).
What it is not:
We thought that this was connected to the backup, but the backup had finished 3 hours before the last time this happended and the backup never uses any of the files in System Volume Information so it is not the backup.
An observation:
When this happend today I switched on ShadowCopy (previous files) and set it to only to use 320 MB of storage and then the Copy Process stopped and the virtual Machines started responding again. This could be unrelated since there is no way to see
how much of the VHDX that is left to be copied, so it might have been finished at the same time as I enabled ShadowCopy (previos files).
Our question:
Why is a VHDX copied to System Volume Information when scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off? As far as I know, nothing should be copied to this folder when this functionis switched off?

Please note:
Please only answer our question and do not offer any general optimization tips that do not directly adress the issue! We want the problem to go away, not to finish a bit faster!

Hallo Lawrence!
Thankyou for youre reply, some comments to help you and others who read this thread:
First of all, we use Windows Server 2012 and the VHDX as I wrote in the headline and in the text in my post. We have not had this problem in similar setups with Windows Server 2008 R2, so the problem seem to be introduced in Windows Server 2012.
These posts that you refer to seem to be outdated and/or do not apply to our configuration:
The post about Dynamic Disks:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx is only a recommendation for Windows Server 2008 R2 and the VHD format. Dynamic VHDX is indeed recommended by Microsoft when using Windows Server 2012 (please look in the optimization guide
for Windows Server 2012).
Infact, if we use fixed VHDX then we would have a bigger problem since fixed VHDX are generaly larger then Dynamic Disks, i.e. more data would be copied and that would take longer time = the VMs would be unresponsive for a longer time.
The post "What's the deal with the System Volume Information folder"
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2003/11/20/55764.aspx is for Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 and some things has changed since then. for instance In Windows Server 2012, Shadow Copies cannot be controlled by going to Control panel -> System.
Instead you right-click on a Drive (i.e. a Volume, for instance the C drive/Volume) in Computer and then click "Configure Shadow Copies".
Windows Server 2008 R2 Backup problem
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsbackup/thread/0fc53adb-477d-425b-8c99-ad006e132336 - This post is about the Antivirus software trying to scan files used during backup that exists in the System Volume Information folder and we do not
have any antivirus software installed on our hosts as I stated in my post.
Comment that might help us:
So according to “System Volume Information” definition, the operation you mentioned is Volume Shadow Copy. Check event viewer to find Volume Shadow Copy related event logs and post them.
Why?
Furhter investigation suggests that a volume shadow copy is somehow created even though the Schedule for Shadows Copies is turned off for all drives. This happens at random and we have not found any pattern. Yesterday this operation took almost all available
disk space (over 200 GB), but all the disk space was released when I turned on scheduled Shadow Copies for the CSV.
I therefore draw these conclusions:
The CSV Volume has about 600 GB of disk space and since Volume Shadows Copy used 200 GB, or about 33% of the disk space, and the default limit is 10% then I conclude that for some reason the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy did not have any limit (or ignored
the limit).
When I turned on the Schedule I also change the limit to the minimum amount which is 320 MB and this is probably what released the disk space. That is, the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy operation was aborted and it adhered to the limit and deleted the
Volume Shadow Copy it had taken.
I have also set the limit for Volume Shadow Copies for all other volumes to 320 MB by using the "Configure Shadow Copies" Window that you open by right clicking on a drive (volume) in Computer and then selecting "Configure Shadow Copies...".
It is important to note that setting a limit for Shadow Copy Storage, and disabaling the Schedule are two different things! It is possible to have unlimited storage for Shadow Copies when the Schedule is disabled, however I do not know if this was the case
Before I enabled Shadow Copies on the CSV since I did not look for this.
I now have defined a limit for Shadow Copy Storage to 320 MB on all drives and then no VHDX should be copied to System Volume Information since they are all larger than 320 MB.
Does this sound about right or am I drawing the wrong conclusions?

There is something strange about the limits on the Secondary host!
I have not in any way changed the settings on the Secondary host and as you can see, the Secondary host has a maximum limit of only 35 MB storage on the CSV, but it also shows that this is 10% of the Volume. This is clearly not the case since 10% if 600
GB = 60 GB!
The question is, why does it by default set a too small limit (i.e. < 320 MB) on the CSV and is this the cause of the problem? I.e. is the limit ignored since it is smaller than the smallest amount you can provide using the GUI?
Is the default 35 MB maximum Shadow Copy limit a bug, or is there any logical reason for setting a limit that according to the GUI is too small?
