Removal of Virtual Switch Logical Networks

Hi,
I've recently managed to get SCVMM 2012 R2 up and running and it's currently managing 2 hosts in a cluster. I've migrated both hosts onto a logical switch, and I'm now at the stage where I'm ready to delete the LN's created for the per-host switches. I've
deleted the Virtual Switches and deleted the VM Networks associated with the switches successfully, but when I go to delete the LN's associated with the Virtual Switches, I get a 25100 error.
In dependencies, it shows that each LN has one of the hosts as a dependency but when I log into the hosts, there's nothing to indicate that they're in use. Is there any way to fix this or do I need to manually delete them from the database?
Cheers,
Ed

Hi Sir,
>>In dependencies, it shows that each LN has one of the hosts as a dependency
If you mean this :
Please open the hosts' properties then check the hardware option and uncheck the "logical network connectivity":

  • Poor network when create virtual switch in hyper-v 2012

    Hello,
    i installed on DELL R620 windows server 2012 STD and add the hyper-v role
    when i created a virtual switch , the speed of network in the HOST( the server itself) is ver poor ( copy file from fileserver is 300Kbs)
    when i remove the virtual switch , the speed of the network is better(  copy file from fileserver is 10-20Mbps)
    i spoke with DELL support center , and after check up , no problem has found.
    i tried all the chnges with the offload checksum etc but nothing helped
    Please your comment about this issue
    Thanks

    Need some additional information
    Which Team type are you utilizing? 
    Which Raid Controller are you using on the hosts?
    I would suggest you try this as well while its specific to 10Gb CNA's it can help with 1Gb in some cases.  SMB

    Also utilizing the low latency Bios settings can often offer additional NIC performance

  • Hyper-V Network Configuration Problem - Virtual Switch

    Hi guys,
    I'm looking for some help with a Hyper-V Network issues. I have been handed over a project by a client that is not fully complete and the person who built it is not available at all. The setup is a HP C7000 blade chassis and a HP SAN.
    The previous guy built a hyper-v cluster with 2 nodes; HV1 & HV2 - this works fine, I can live migrate etc and all is good.
    This is how it was handed over to myself, my job is to add the third node to the cluster so I have installed the OS, drivers etc. Hyper-V role and clustering role. My problem arises with the Hyper-V switch configuration.
    Points;
    Each node has two NIC adapters, both of these network adapters are teamed
    A virtual switch is created on each node using the aforementioned NIC Team
    On the existing nodes I can see the management IP for the node is set on the virtual switch adapter
    On the third node (HV3) I created NIC Team using both of the NIC's, I then created an external virtual switch using this teamed network adapter. However when I try to apply a management IP address to the virtual switch adapter it won't respond and I see
    a yellow triangle on the network adapter in the corner. When I remove the virtual switch and apply and IP address to the NIC Team the server is contactable and shows in the Cluster manager as up. However the problem then is I don't have a virtual switch.
    If someone could help me with this that would be great - please tell me if you require further information.
    Below is a screenshot of the adapter for HV1 (working fine) from failover cluster manager;
    thank you advance :)

    Hi Brian, thanks for the reply. This is what I tried initially. However I just restarted the server I tried it again - still no luck.
    Just to clarify when I team together the two flexfabric network adapters and apply an IP address to the team for testing - the team works fine, so the team doesn't seem to be an issue.
    Once I create the virtual switch and assign the team to the switch and enable management OS to share I apply the IP address to the vEthernet adapter and I can't ping the default gateway or anything for that matter.
    Any other ideas ?

  • SCVMM2012r2 UR3 : Even with no Virtual switch assigned, an uplink port profile remains

    Hi,
    What I'm tryng to do, is to unassign an uplink set on my host, set to the wrong NIC (actually, on 3 NIC, event if I specified 2 when I added the logical switch...).
    To proceed, I deleted the Logical Switch assigned in the host properties on Virtual Switches tab.
    On my host, the teaming has been deleted, but unfortunately, on one of my NIC, the subnet set in my Logical Network subsit in "Logical Network Connectivity" and is greyed out.
    It's said "The subnet an VLAN information is set by an uplink port profile set 'tVMNet' associated to this host an cannot be changed here".
    But, if I removed the virtual switch, how can it be?
    Thanks for any advice, I'm stuck

    Hi all,
    I did finaly remove the cluster from SCVMM and added it back, and it's working now. No more ghost config remaining.
    I'm working on SCVMM from 3 days now, and I'm really not sure that's the easy to use tool we need to manage our small private cloud... It's buggy, slow, oposite of ergonomic and far too much cloud provider oriented...

  • Logical Switch and Logical Network

    Hello All...................I have Hyper-V Failover Cluster based on 5 Hosts and I am managing it with VMM 2012 R2. I was slightly confused with respect to Logical Network and Logical Switch in the Fabric Settings.  I would appreciate if someone could
    shed a little light on the difference between them.  Also, while there is a Logical Network defined by default (Name of the Virtual Switch of Hosts), there is nothing defined in the Logical Switch.  Which one is mandatory? Logical Network or Logical
    Switch? Can I delete the default Logical Network?

    Hi Nick,
    Please find below link for the whitepaper mentioned by Kristian.
    https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hybrid-Cloud-with-NVGRE-aa6e1e9a
    For a complete reference please refer below series. This covers VMM 2012 SP1 but should be fine with R2 as well.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2013/01/08/virtual-networking-in-vmm-2012-sp1.aspx
    Logical Network is defined for easier management and used in Network Virtualization where as Logical switch is used to configure networking in multiple Hosts rather than creating individual Virtual switches in each host. If it were me I'll leave the
    default logical network as there is no harm of doing nothing in it.
    I hope this will shed some light into your situation.

  • Removing Logical Networks and Subnets from Hyper-V Host Network Adapters that are greyed out

    Hello All
    I am new to SCVMM 2012 R2 and I have create a Hyper-V Cluster and now creating Logical Networks and Port Profiles and Logical Switches. I have figured out how to create all of them properly now, but I have made some mistakes in the past. I have a Logical
    Switch created and assigned to network adapters on the hosts. Now I am trying to add the other switches to other adapters, but I have associations on network adapters to Logical Switches and Subnets that are not correct and need to be removed so I can add
    the correct ones, but in the console the network adapters that I need to work with the information is grayed out and I can't change the information. 
    I am not an expert at Powershell. Below you can see a Logical Network and Sunets associated
    to a Network adapter. Can someone help figure out how to remove the information so I can assign the correct Logical Network?
    I woul so much appreciate this. I know there is a way to do this in
    PowerShell but I don't know Powershell that much. I
    am savoing all the
    powershell scripts ever time I configure something in SCVMM but I have had no luck trying to
    revearse what I did.
    Help Please
    Christopher

    This shows that an Uplink profile associated with this host, links to these logical networks. In order to remove this successfully, you must remove the logical switch and uplink deployed to the hosts.
    For a complete overview and guidance on the required configuration, have a look at the whitepaper we created.

  • Hyper-V Network Virtual switches

    Hi,
    Good Day!
    We have some doubts on Hyper-V Network Virtual Switches:
    There are two physical NICs on a Hyper-V Host. One is connected to the public and other connects the internal VM Network. We create two virtual switches; "CustomerNetwork" and "PublicNetwork". "CustomerNetwork" has 192.168.x.x
    series IP Address and "PublicNetwork" has a public IP Address. 
    We have also setup a software router VM with two virtual NICs. One vNIC connects to "CustomerNetwork" and other one connects to "PublicNetwork". We assign an IP address to the vNIC connected to "CustomerNetwork". The IP Address
    assigned is 192.168.2.99. 
    Confusion here is that we don't know which IP Address we should assign to the VNIC of router VM which is connected to "PublicNetwork". We have only one public IP Address. Shall we assign public IP Address to the VNIC of Router VM or the "PublicNetwork"
    virtual switch or we should remove the public IP Address from the virtual switch?
    Thank you for your time for clarifying our doubts! As always, appreciate your help!
    Thank You,
    Aurther L

    On your router VM , Public IP should be assigned to Public network . Beaaware you are only allowed one external switch per hyper V host.  Alternatively Create two VNic from from Private network, Assign public IP to one and local IP to another 
    assuming you have internet connection on local network.
    hope this helps

  • Creating Logical Networks and Switches via SPF

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create Logical switches and logical networks in VMM by calling SPF REST APIs. I can see only a GET API for logical networks and none for Logical switches. If they exist can someone point me to a link to the documentation?
    Thanks,
    Venky

    Hi
    You can only get logical network information -
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn470018.aspx
    The purpose of SPF is to be used as web service for Tenants. As logical networks and switches are objects that are maintained by administrators they cannot be managed by SPF. Logical networks have get operation because you might want to create VLAN-based
    VM Networks depending on what is configured in Logical networks. For administrating logical switches and networks administrators will use PowerShell or the VMM console.

  • Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking and Hyper-V.

    Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mOuoIWzmdE
    Hi thanks for reading. Now I may well have my terminology incorrect here so I will try to explain  as best I can and apologies from the start.
    It’s a bit of both Hyper-v and Server 2012R2. 
    I am setting up a lab with Server 2012 R2. I have several physical network cards that I have teamed called “HostSwitchTeam” from those I have made several Virtual Network Adaptors such as below
    examples.
    New-VMSwitch "MgmtSwitch" -MinimumBandwidthMode weight -NetAdaptername "HostSwitchTeam" -AllowManagement $false
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Vswitch" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Cluster" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    When I install Hyper-V and it comes to adding a virtual switch during installation it only shows the individual physical network cards and the
    HostSwitchTeam for selection.  When installed it shows the Microsoft Network Multiplexor Driver as the only option. 
    Is this correct or how does one use the Vswitch made above and incorporate into the Hyper-V so a weight can be put against it.
    Still trying to get my head around Vswitches,VMNetworkadapters etc so somewhat confused as to the way forward at this time so I may have missed the plot altogether!
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    V-iSCSI

    Based on my understanding of the description , "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and

    You can think of them as two physical NICs (do not use NIC 1,2,3,4,5 any more , there are just two NICs "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
    HostVMSwitch").
    V-Curric,

  • Maximising throughput of a team in converged networking scenario using Hyper-V virtual switch

    Hi,
    Recently I have been looking into the converged network scenario, I have read quite a few resources about this but I am struggling to make sense of maximising the bandwidth I have available.
    I understand that a single TCP stream can only go down 1 physical NIC, so even if I had a team of 6 x 1Gbps NICS – the team would be 6Gbps, but I will never have a single transfer go faster than 1 Gbps. I’m pretty sure that’s right, how I understood it anyway.
    To make a converged network, I need to team adapters together, then make a virtual switch, and make virtual NIC’s off of that virtual switch. Each vNIC I can assign for different purposes,
    such as ISCSI, data sync and backup traffic. In the diagram below I have shown this configuration, each green pNIC is only 1Gbps, on my blue vNICs I use the minimum weighting configuration.
    In my example below, I have 1 ISCSI vNIC, if a physical NIC failed then I understand that to mean that the bandwidth won’t reduce for ISCSI because a single stream can only go down one
    NIC anyway, the team will reduce to 5Gbps. No vNIC will go faster than 1Gbps.
    If this is correct, then how would I increase bandwidth to the disk system using ISCSI, is it simply a case of creating an additional vNIC for ISCSI traffic, adding it to the same team
    and configuring MPIO so the traffic will eventually end up through different pNICS? In my mind, MPIO can’t round robin ISCSI data to more physical NICs because the ISCSI and MPIO only know about the vNIC, I assume it is the team that ultimately handles the
    placement of the stream onto the pNICS.
    Do I simply do the same for Data Sync and Backup traffic?
    I’m not too concerned about the VMNET team, I am mostly focused on getting the best out of the core cluster resources I have. I haven’t shown the physical switches to the right of the diagram,
    but these are already configured to accept the VLAN traffic on the ports and the same is all configured for the other half of the solution.
    Just a little confused over the whole thing on how I could potentially achieve the 6Gbps I have at my disposal. In this configuration and testing so far, it seems quite difficult for me
    to exceed about 1.5-2Gbps combined across all the vNICS (in this particular test server I am limited to 1 physical disk so it’s hard to gauge the performance, the disk will take probably about 200MB/2Gbps maximum, that’s with ISCSI (file copying) and data
    Sync going on between two servers at the same time.

  • Routing of Network Traffic Between VLANs on a Hyper-V Virtual Switch

    I am trying to discover how network traffic generated by reads and writes to RDVH User Profile Disks is routed through my network.  I have a pool of Hyper-V
    desktop vm’s in their own VLAN (vlan1) with their own NIC bound to a Hyper-V Virtual Switch. On the same server I have another management NIC for the OS on a different VLAN (vlan2) and finally on another server I have a virtual machine which hosts the User
    Profile Disks. The VM that hosts the User Profile Disks is on the same VLAN as the management NIC for the OS (vlan2).
    When tracing the flow of network traffic to and from the User Profile Disk VM it all comes through the vlan2 NIC on the server where the virtual
    desktop VMs reside and nothing comes through the vlan1 NIC on this server.  I would have expected the traffic to the virtual desktop VMs to come in  through the desktop VMs VLAN NIC (vlan1).
    This leads me to two possibilities as to how the desktop vm’s on vlan1 get their  data to and from the User Pofile Disk vm on vlan2 without routing.
    The desktop vm’s Hyper-V Virtual Switch automatically routes the User Profile Disk traffic from vlan1 to vlan2 internally using a virtual switch learning algorithm
    Hyper-V itself handles all reads and writes to the User Profile Disks and since that is using the management NIC for the OS it is already on vlan2 and so the network traffic never leaves vlan2.
    Any comments on the reason for traffic taking the path it does (as outlined above) as opposed to being layer-3 routed from VLAN1 to VLAN2?

    Thanks for your reply Brian. I think your last paragraph above is what I have set up:
    If you simply forward one VLAN to one physical NIC and the VMS on the corresponding External Virtual Switch simply end up on that VLAN without Hyper-V doing anything at all - but this dedicats one physical NIC per VLAN.
    The Virtual Machines NIC that the vSwitch is patched to and the NIC for the OS are on different VLANS (both NICs are plugged into un-tagged ports on my switch).
    The vNICs on the VM's are not tagged to a VLAN (The VLAN ID\ 'Enable virtual LAN identification' box is unticked)
    My vSwitch is set up as connected to 'External Network' and isnt shared with the management network.
    What I am trying to get at is how would network traffic on the VLAN my vm's are on get to the VLAN that the NIC for the OS is on without going through the router (even though a routable path is available)  ?
    Is it possible the 'learning algorithm' referneced in a Technet article below is involved here (sorry I cant post links)?
    For the virtual machine to communicate with the management operating system, there are two options. One option is to route the network packet through the physical network adapter and out to the physical network, which then returns the packet back to
    the server running Hyper-V using the second physical network adapter. Another option is to route the network packet through the virtual network, which is more efficient. The option selected is determined by the virtual network. The virtual network includes
    a learning algorithm, which determines the most efficient port to direct traffic to and will send the network packet to that port. Until that determination is made by the virtual network, network packets are sent out to all virtual ports.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Not sure if you figured this out but at least in my case, tagging the VSW with a VLAN id  when the port was already tagged on the switch generated this error.  When I recreated the VSW without specifying a VLAN id eliminated the error; all frames leaving the physical switch port will be tagged with its VLAN on egress anyway unless you're using multiple VLANs on the same port.

  • "Server either does not have a virtual switch configured or none of the configured virtual switches have an IP address assigned" error driving me nuts!

    1. you don't assign IP to a switch! you assign IP to Network Interfaces. why does the error puts it like this?! it is technically wrong.(yeah yeah I know all about how you'd assign IP to managed switches in real world to telnet into them and manage them.
    you know better than me that it is not the case here!)
    2.the RDS Virtualization hosts are using their wifi card as the card for the virtual switch. could that be the reason? I even disabled their unplugged wired NIC just to make sure that the wifi is the only available option for the RDS wizard to use for the
    virtual switch creation; but it didn't use it and it didn't create any virtual switch automatically.
    3.if WIFI nic is indeed the reason, is it your suspension or an official documents is there somewhere stating so (that the WIFI NICS on a Virtualization hosts are not supported as the hub for a virtual switch).
    4.what are the properties of the virtual switch the RDS requires? does it have to be external? why can't it work even with my manually created external switch?
    5.how would I fix it?
    P.S: the environment is made up of 2 laptops, having windows 2012 R2 trial installed on them, using their wifi to connect to the out world. no cable is plugged into their wired NIC card.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    The simplest short term solution was to connect each computer to a small switch that had no other connectivity. This brought up the link light on the external NIC and allowed the creation of the collection to complete. You need to use an external switch. You
    can create one external switch which might fix the problem.
