SCOM 2012 RC - SCVMM 2012 RC - Virtual machine manager management group is not getting monitored

Hi All,
I have integrated SCOM 2012 with SCVMM 2012 environment. I could see two strange behaviors. All these instance are running on Windows 2008 R2 + Sp1 OS along with SQL 2008 R2 for database.
1) I could see two instance of VirtualmanagerDB
in the Database State view under the Microsoft SQL Server, out of that
one is showing as monitored and another one is
showing as not monitored. Why it is showing two instance of the same database? How can I remove the not monitored one?
2) In the distributed apps- Virtual machine manager management group is not showing as a monitored item. However the SCVMM server is getting monitored.
I'd appreciate if someone could help me out in understanding and resolving this.
Regards,
Ren.

Hi
I opened up a connect ticket on this on 17th Jan so sorry for not noticing your post earlier. The response was:
Health State dashboard view is targeted to two state views. "Agent Watcher State" and "Agent State". "Agent State" view (view with duplicate entry) is targeted to an abstract class "VMM Agent" which has below child classes.
    VMM Library Agent
    VMM Host Agent
    Guest Agent
For the Dashboard view, we need to taget the view to "Host Agent" not "VMM Agent". When we install VMM, it adds itself as a Library server and that is the reason for duplicate entry (VMM Library Agent).
Cheers
Graham

Type 2 Virtual Machine in Hyper-V will not PXE boot with WDS

Hi
Bit of a wierd scenario this but I'm doing a bit of a lab experiment kind of thing. The setup is as follows:
VMWare Workstation 10 with Windows Server 2012 R2 running as a virtual machine. In VMW10 I have a NAT network interface and a Bridging interface set to load with the virtual machine. These seem to work fine (although the NAT doesn't seem to want to connect
to the internet but that's why the bridging one is there in addition).
Server 2012 is configured with the following roles:
ADDS, DHCP, DNS, Hyper-V, Printer, WDS
I have correctly configured WDS to work on the same machine as DHCP and I can get PXE boot working with WDS on a Type1 Virtual Machine in Hyper-V using the Legacy Network adapter. My problem is when I try and PXE boot on a Type2 Virtual Machine (this type
is new in R2 and should eliminate the need for a legacy network adapter) using the same network interface that I used for the Type1 machine, I get an IP address from DHCP but WDS doesn't seem to respond. Instead I get the "PXE-E16: No Offer Received"
message. I have tried just about everything I can think of and spent the whole day trying to figure out why this is the case but came up with nothing. Has anyone else encountered this or can anyone shed any light on the matter?
Many thanks in advance

"VMWare Workstation 10 with Windows Server 2012 R2"and "Server 2012 is configured with the following roles: ADDS, DHCP, DNS, Hyper-V, Printer, WDS"
Hyper-V is not supported to be run as a VM. It is a Type 1 hypervisor, which means it works on the bare metal. You have it running as a VM on a Type-2 hypervisor, so it has no access to the bare metal. Yes, VMware may have made it so some
things work in that environment, but it is not a supported (or tested) environment for Hyper-V.

Interesting SCOM Reports and "Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 Reports" MP Issue , Some reports appear others don't

Our test environment is quite simple one Operations Server 2012 R2; with the database and SSRS instance on another server; Service Manager 2012 is on it’s own virtual machine; and the Service Manager Data Warehouse on it’s own. I’ve been trying to demo chargeback
with scvmm and I’m having issues with the chargeback reporting.
I’ve followed this process to install chargeback reports:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj614406.aspx which
completed successfully. All of the cubes seem to process correctly in Service Manager and I can create a chargeback analysis excel sheet with no issues in service manager. I still do not get any chargeback reports in the Operations console though. I get some
reports under the “Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 Reports” heading like Capacity, Host Group Forecasting, Host Utilization, etc but no chargeback report.
I can see the chargeback report in the SSRS website but cannot get it to appear in the Operations console. If anyone has any tips or troubleshooting they can point me at I would appreciate it.

Hi All,
I need to integrate SCOM 2012 SP1 (without UR)with SCVMM 2012 SP1(without UR).
Is Update Rollup required for this integration as a prerequisites? or We can directly proceed with Integration without update Rollup. Please advice.
Can we get performance date of virtual machine by integration scom with scvmm?
Thanks and Regards

Some of the SQL Server 2012 are not getting monitored in SCOM 2012 SP1.( basics monitoring is happening, expect SQL role)

Found that all the SQL servers are getting monitored, expect few servers which are having SQL server 2012 role.
proxy is enabled for these servers, when I checked discovered inventory for SQL 2012 database unable to find these servers in that list.
and other servers having SQL Server 2012 monitoring properly issue is with only few servers.

Hi,
thanks for the all the input, we are using service account as windows account instead of action account !!
will that also affect discovery of SQL role?
and also found that there are many alerts in SCOM console, with alert description :
SQL Server cannot authenticate using Kerberos because the Service Principal Name
(SPN) is missing, misplaced, or duplicated.
please let me know how we can resolve this issue, will it affect SQL discovery as well ?

Hi Guillaume Pincon,
Please first update both server to latest update and turn off the Windows firewall for narrow down this issue then try build the cluster again, one of the cluster create condition is all the servers should have the same software updates (patches) and service
packs. If all above steps not work please post the second validation error information.

OVM as virtual machine on managed OVS

Hi All,
Is it possible and good idea to install Oracle VM manager as virtual machine on one of managed server? What pros and cons you see?
Thank for all replies

It depends… as always… if you're heading for a real production environment then, no - I wouldn't run OVMM inside am VM on a VM server that is managed by that particular OVMM. Also, it's very tedious to install, since you will have to get it installed first on a separate (physical) host and set it up, before you can configure a new VM to hold the VM Manager afterwards, where you will basically perform an "emergency" re-installation.
Please note as well, that Oracle requires you to run OVMM against a production Database (Oracle SE/EE), which also should live on a separate host, but where OVMM can be installed on as well - this is the way I have done it: Oracle SE and Oracle VMM on one host.
If you don't care, the details are described on the forum, but I'd only recommend that for non-productive use. Also note, that this is not supported by Oracle (I guess).

"Installing extensions on virtual machine..." does not complete on Azure VM

When creating VM using my custom disk, I encountered the same issue as the one mentioned in this post(http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mast/archive/2014/06/18/azure-vm-provisioning-stuck-on-quot-installing-extensions-on-virtual-machine-quot.aspx). I can’t
resolve my problem by following the steps of the post.
Here is the context:
Before uploading the disk, I prepare my Ubuntu VM by following this post(http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-create-upload-vhd-ubuntu/) in which there is a step “sudo apt-get install walinuxagent”.
When creating VM, the portal is stuck in "Installing extensions on virtual machine...”.
I can’t SSH to the VM.
I checked the status of VM agent using PowerShell, it shows ‘GuestAgentVersion: Unknown’ and ‘Status: NotReady’.
Could you kindly help me out?

Hi Hulu;
Thank you for your post. Apologies for the late response. From a support perspective the way forward would be to open up a support ticket as we would need to do get the
need subscription id, deploymend id and vm name for further troubleshooting I encourage you to do the same.
Please refer to
this documentation on how to open a support ticket. Hope this helps.

I have an iMac in which I installed a virtual machine to run some MS applications including MS Money. in virtual machine mode the computer does not recognize the USB pen which contains my MS money back up and therefore I can't import the data to the iMac.

What should I do?

What virtualization app do you use ?
Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox ?
For Parallels: choose Preferences form the Parallels Desktop menu -> then USB and set it to your liking.
For the other two it should be a similar procedure (don't use them myself).

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

Server 2012 cluster - virtual machine live migration does not work

Hi,
We have a hyper-v cluster with two nodes running Windows Server 2012. All the configurations are identical.
When I try to make a Live migration from one node to the other I get an error message saying:
Live migration of 'Virtual Machine XXXXXX' failed.
I get no other error messages, not even in event viewer. This same happens with all of our virtual machines.
A normal Quick migration works just fine for all of the virtual machines, so network configuration should not be an issue.
The above error message does not provide much information.

Hi,
Please check whether your configuration meet live migration requirement:
Two (or more) servers running Hyper-V that:
Support hardware virtualization.
Yes they support virtualization.
Are using processors from the same manufacturer (for example, all AMD or all Intel).
Both Servers are identical and brand new Fujitsu-Siemens RX300S7 with the same kind of processor (Xeon E5-2620).
Belong to either the same Active Directory domain, or to domains that trust each other.
Both nodes are in the same domain.
Virtual machines must be configured to use virtual hard disks or virtual Fibre Channel disks (no physical disks).
All of the vitual machines have virtual hard disks.
Use of a private network is recommended for live migration network traffic.
Have tried this, but does not help.
Requirements for live migration in a cluster:
Windows Failover Clustering is enabled and configured.
Yes
Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) storage in the cluster is enabled.
Yes
Requirements for live migration using shared storage:
All files that comprise a virtual machine (for example, virtual hard disks, snapshots, and configuration) are stored on an SMB share. They are all on the same CSV
Permissions on the SMB share have been configured to grant access to the computer accounts of all servers running Hyper-V.
Requirements for live migration with no shared infrastructure:
No extra requirements exist.
Also please refer to this article to check whether you have finished all preparation works for live migration:
Virtual Machine Live Migration Overview

Do i need to activate windwos server datacenter 2012 virtual machines seperatley

Hello All,
i have purchased windows server 2012 data center license and i have installed hyper v and created 4vms. do i need to activate those vms also? if yes, how will i get keys.
Thanks

You can activate you VMs on 2012 R2 via AVMA (Automatic Virtual Machine Activation)
Just use this keys:
slmgr /ipk ‹AVMA-key›
Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

Update Rollup 2 for SCVMM 2012 R2 - unable to start VMM service

UR2 was first installed on the VMM host by windows update but I have since also downloaded the updates and applied them manually and also run the SQL on the database as specified in KB2932926 but the problem persists. Ideas?
All VMM components running on the same server with the DB on another server.
I have spent a bit of time searching for others with this problem and all I can find is this
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/471318-scvmm-system-centre-virtual-machine-manager-service-keeps-terminating - they gave up
L.

Hi,
Here is a short procedure how you can apply UR2 on HA VMM server:
1. Apply UR2 server and console on the passive node.
2. Stop the HA VMM service.
3. Apply the SQL script to the VMM DB.
4. Start the HA VMM service on the node that you've applied UR2.
5. Apply UR2 server and console on the other node that was previously active.
6. Update VMM agents on Library server, Update Server and Hyper-V hosts from the VMM console
So In short: both vmm servers are updated with UR2. The script needs to be applied once to the database. The library server is updated trough the console.

Modifying the size of an SMB 3.0 registered file share in SCVMM 2012 SP1

Hi -
We are leveraging the Netapp SMI-S 5.0 provider with SCVMM 2012 SP1 to register and use SMB 3.0 file shares on our HV clusters. Working great after a few early problems. One thing that we've yet to find is a solution to this problem.
On the netapp side, let's say a volume with size 1TB is created. Then through SCVMM/SMI-S, a new file share is created within this volume for use with HV clusters/VMs. Let's say, for example when creating this share through the SCVMM GUI that
you define the file share size as 500gb. This leaves 500gb free in the parent volume.
How in the world do you modify that file share size from the SCVMM perspective - if you start running low on space within the share. The free space is definitely there, but we can't seem to find a way from within SCVMM to modify the file share 'size'
(which is a parameter you have to define during file share creation) from original size to something larger (yet still smaller than parent volume size).
Anyone else seen this scenario and/or found a solution? I apologize if this is already answered elsewhere - just not seeing much on searches. Thanks in advance -

Ok so we just ran into a similar issue with our netapp. And after digging around my colleagues and I found this document ( https://communities.netapp.com/community/netapp-blogs/msenviro/blog/2014/02/19/data-ontap-smi-s-agent-51--use-netapp-smi-s-provider-to-provision-a-cifs-share-for-smb-30-environments-windows-server-2012-using-scvmm-2012-r2
) had a key passage: "SMIS create/manage shares created on qtree with quota assigned to it."
So taking that the SMI-S agent uses quotas on the volume to determine the 'file share' size you can adjust the space available to Hyper-V by adjusting the quota on the volume, even increasing it to beyond the space available in the volume. We are actually
doing this because of dedupe savings on our hyper-v store.
IMPORTANT - the SMI-S agent only scans every 5 minutes, so when you make a quota change it may take up to 5 minutes for it to be detected... so wait
6 minutes and then refresh the storage provider. We were working with SCVMM 2012 R2 but this should be reflected with SCVMM 2012 SP1 if im not mistaken.
