SCVMM 2012 R2 with 3PAR 7200

I want to configure our 3PAR to work with SCVMM so I can use rapid provisioning. I was wondering if anyone knew of the documentation on setting this up and how to configure SCVMM for this. I already have my 3PAR added to SCVMM storage under Arrays and I
cna see all my logical disks.
I'm just not sure how to configure it so I can use rapid provisioning.

I got it working. What I did is presented a LUN to my SCVMM server and created a mount point (instead of drive letter) for the new volume inside of the SCVMM Library. Then I refreshed my 3PAR in SCVMM and refreshed the library. Now it says SAN Copy Capable.
NOTE: I take it back. I go into it again and now it sans its not SAN Copy Capable. ARGH!
EDIT: Can I only have one VHDX on an entire SAN LUN? When I have just one it says SAN Copy Capable. When there is more than one it changes to NO

Deploy VMs with SCVMM 2012 R2 with Internet connection

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use SCVMM 2012 R2 to create a network that will eventually hold 2 clouds, but for the moment I can't seem to create the network and connect the VMs to the Internet.
My lab is this (all hosts are in a LAN, 192.168.0.0/24, gateway 192.168.0.1, and ONLY ONE NIC per HOST ):
1 host DC, DNS, SQL, SCVMM 2012 R2 (IP 192.168.0.8)
2 hosts with Hyper-V (IP 192.168.0.9 and 192.168.0.10)
I'm also planning to create some "virtual" networks for clustering and live migration, which will use the same physical NICs as the management network (since I have only one physical NIC per host).
Could you please give me a quick guide of how to set this up with SCVMM 2012 R2, so that I can take advantage of the new features (network virtualization, logical networks, logical switch) and for the VMs to be able to reach the Internet?!
Thank you so much.

Thanks for the reply.
My network architecture is exactly like the one described on your paper, with 2 differences:
1. I only have one host in the Production group and one host in the Gateway group
2. The first host has one physical NIC, the second host has 2 NICs, one internal and one with an Internet (routable) IP
After applying the logical switches on the hosts, I lost Internet connectivity on the gateway host (I have no idea why there is no logical Gateway Switch !!!). VMM completed the jobs with no error.
Any thoughts?

How to configure network virtualization in SCVMM 2012 R2 with two host

hi everyone... can you teach me how i configure networking in my infrastructure..
i am getting confuse that i have 2 phisical server, i don't know to set the netwokring in scvmm. Every best practice, i found in internet is using more than 2 physical server.
i have been tried before with the networking which i want..but it failed...
any one help me please...

This whitepaper should explain the required steps to get this working.
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hybrid-Cloud-with-NVGRE-aa6e1e9a
The whitepaper will use more than two hyper-v hosts, but you'll get the picture.
You can have 1 host to run your NVGRE VMs, while the other host should be dedicated to run the virtualization gateway VMs.

Can SCVMM 2012 R2 exist with SCVMM 2012 SP1 in the same AD domain

We currently run System Centre 2012 SP1 (SCOM, SCCM, SCSM and SCVMM 2012 SP1).
There is no plan to upgrade the System Centre suite to R2 for another 6 months.
But we do want to use SCVMM 2012 R2. I don’t plan to use SCVMM 2012 R2 with SCOM or SCCM 2012 SP1.
Can I build a separate SCVMM 2012 R2 in the same Active directory domain or forest (on a new server, with a separate database and with different service accounts)?

SCVMM 2012 R2 VM on SMB 3.0 file share cloning is not offloaded and painfully slow

I setup a test environment, it appears the SCVMM always use BITS to clone VM that was painfully slow
SCVMM1: SCVMM 2012 R2 with the latest windows update
VHOST1 and VHOST2: Hyper-V Host. Windows Server 2012 R2 with the latest update
SERVER1: Windows File server, with Windows Server 2012 R2 with the latest update. The storage is a single 512GB SSD.
All VMs are located at a file share on SERVER1, the share is managed by SCVMM1 also.
All computers have plenty of RAM (8G+) and modern processor. The individual I/O benchmark on SERVER1 is typical SSD speed. Each VHOST has dedicated NIC for VM use. Each
server has two gigabit NICs on same switch for data.
The step to reproduce:
1. Create a Windows 7 x86 VM on VHOST1 and install OS on it. The VM is placed on the SERVER1 file share. It runs well. no problem, VM performance is good.
2. In SCVMM console, right clicks the VM and select "Create Clone", the deployment target is on the same SMB share as the source VM.
Actual: It appears SCVMM clone the VM files with BITS, it is painfully slow. All data travel through network. Estimated 30 minutes for 30GB file!
Expected result: SCVMM uses SMB 3.0 to make the copy. The source and destination are on the same SMB 3.0 share. The transfer of data should be offloaded by SERVER1, instead of reading all data then write it back cross network. (And from unknown reason the
BITS is even much slower than network file copy).
Did I miss anything? Any way to force SCVMM to do such offload copy? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi acacac1,
>>Actual: It appears SCVMM clone the VM files with BITS, it is painfully slow. All data travel through network. Estimated 30 minutes for 30GB file!
Did you try to disable BITS then clone the VM again for test ?
Any further information please feel free to let us know .

Error in connecting App Controller to SCVMM 2012 R2

Hello All,
I have recently installed App Controller 2012 R2 on a new VM. We are already using SCVMM 2012 R2 with Update Rollup 4.
I'm logged-in on the App Controller website with the service account of App Controller/SCVMM.
Now when I'm trying to connect App Controller to SCVMM server, it gives the following error:
"Category: Critical
Description: Connection attempt to the target system failed.
Details: Category: Critical
Message: 553–RegistryInvalidValue
Description: The type or name syntax of the registry key value IndigoTcpPort under Software\Microsoft\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Administrator Console\Settings is incorrect."
I'm correctly entering the complete FQDN of my VMM management server, and the default port: 8100.
Need help please.
Thank you.

Hi Hasan,
I haven't seen this issue before, but the following post provides information on checking the registry value:

The usual caveats about editing the registry apply, including make a backup first.

How to get all the configured environment once SCVMM 2012 R2 evaluation expired

Hello expert...
We had SCVMM 2012 R2 environment where Hyper-V host cluster was created ,cluster storage was added and VMs are highly available on cluster storage but it SCVMM 2012 R2 evaluation had got expired.
I have Questions before activate it with product key.
How to activate SCVMM 2012 R2 with Product Key such that we can restore same configured SCVMM (storage,network,cluster,VM highly available) or is it possible restore SCVMM Configuration.
Do we need uninstalled SCVMM before if its need reinstalled.
Any Help will be appropriated..?
Thanks
Richa

VMM does not remove any of existing configuration when evaluation period expires. See

Upgrade of scvmm 2012 sp1 to scvmm 2012 r2 fails with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied"

I had a working scvmm 2012 sp1 installation, and am attempting to upgrade to 2012 r2.
The old SCVMM product was removed (retaining the database), as well as ADK 8.0. I then installed ADK 8.1.
The install fails after a number of minutes with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied". From my reading of the log, that was the only obvious failure, and that the VMM server MSI installed successfully.
It doesn't appear to get so far as to upgrade the database.
The OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, with all updates applied. I have tried the install many times, noticed that the McAfee virus scanner was pushed to the box at some point, so I removed it, but still no dice.

Deleting VM with snapshot/checkpoint is extremely slow in SCVMM 2012 R2

It appears deleting VM with checkpoint from SCVMM 2012 R2 is extremely slow.
There is the configuration:
one SCVMM 2012 R2 running on Windows Server 2012 R2
one Windows Server 2012 R2 as file share server (SMB), stores all VM files. The share is managed by SCVMM . uses local SSD disk. two gigabit ethernet ports connected to a switch.
two hyper-v hosts running Windows Server 2012 R2, non-clustered, managed by SCVMM, each hosts has three gigabit Ethernet ports connected to the switch.
Everthing works including live migration. Here is the problem:
When I deleted a VM with checkpoint, it appeared that SCVMM/Hyper-V merges something, it took a lot of time on reading each AVHDX and write to VHDX, this results two problems:
1. It took a lot of time and bandwidth. I am about to delete the VM (and all its files). Why SCVMM/Hyper-V wants to merge all files? The deletion took 29 minutes for a 36GB VM. This VM is just plain standalone VM, no usage of template.
The expected result is to just delete all VM files and remove VM, don't do merge. (BTW: VMWare doesn't do merge, the deletion is done in a few seconds))
2. although all data file are on the file share, the hyper-v host still reads each file from file share, then write to another file on the same file share. It consumes significant network bandwidth. Can they offload the work to file server?
The expected result is that Hyper-V offload the transfer to file share server. It should not create huge amount of network io.
3. The merging operation is incredibility slow. around 24MByte/sec data being copied.
The hyper-v has 2xgigabit links, benchmark shows the file share access can easily go 200Mbytes/sec, and the file server side is SSD drive with 200+MByte/sec bandwidth. The expected result is if hyper-v ever merge, the speed is least 100MByte/s and hopefully
go up to 200MByte/sec. 21MB/s is just painfully slow.
Did I miss anything?

Thanks for the info. Even there may be use cases where merge is necessary, there are plenty of use cases where merging is overkill -- can Hyper-V have a CLI option that deletes VM without doing merging?
If such option won't be available soon, can SCVMM do this on deleting a VM:
1. revert to the latest checkpoint, delete the checkpoint
2. repeat the step 1 until all checkpoint removed.
3. delete the VM.
This workaround avoids the Hyper-V's merging. It is not as clean as VMWare's (they just delete the VM files, no extra merge), but at least it is much faster and less resource consumption than merging.

SCVMM 2012 R2 RU3 - Live storage migration failing with error 12711 if cluster resource name is not in form of "SCVMM vmname "

At the end of live storage migration in SCVMM 2012 R2 RU3 getting error:
Error (12711)
VMM cannot complete the WMI operation on the server (hypervhost1.domain.local) because of an error: [MSCluster_Resource.Name="SCVMM test-vm"] The cluster resource could not be found.
The cluster resource could not be found (0x138F)
Recommended Action
Resolve the issue and then try the operation again.
Storage migration actually succeeds and after Repair/Ignore and Refresh, the VM shows up ok in VMM, with the VHD in new location.
If VM is offline, storage migration always succeeds. Live (non-storage) migration always succeeds.
I noticed in the error message that it searches for cluster resource name "SCVMM test-vm" and for some VMs I've got different cluster resource names.
Like for this VM cluster resource names are:
Virtual Machine test-vm
Virtual Machine Configuration test-vm
Furthermore, those resource names are showing up correctly in [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_WLC_VMInstance] table, columns VMResource and VMConfigResource.
Anyone knows why SCVMM keeps searching for "SCVMM test-vm" and how to fix this without recreating cluster resources?

Ok, you have the same problem and same configuration that this post:

This problem occurs will old and new vm?

Unattend.xml parsing/merging issue with SCVMM 2012 R2

Hi all
I have a problem with a new install of SCVMM 2012 R2. I have created templates for 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. I have an issue with the unattend.xml losing some of its configuration when the 2012 and 2012 R2 templates are built, this issue however doesn't
occur on a 2008 R2 template build.
I have generated unattend.xml files for all 3 OS's using System Image Manager in the latest AIK using the original install.wim from each OS media.
In the unattend.xml file I have specified language settings, and a few other bits but the issue I have is when I configure autologon with local admin and password. I specify a logon count of 1, I also specify a GUIRunOnce command in SCVMM and not the answerfile.
The problem is the resulting merged unattend.xml has a logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce command. I have tried different variations where I specify GUIRunOnce in the xml and not SCVMM, applying the autologon to the Template or Guest OS profile and
all end with the resulting xml with logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce. If I remove the autologon part then GUIRunOnce gets parsed and works correctly.
As mentioned this only happens with Server 2012 and 2012 R2, 2008 R2 works correctly.
Any ideas?

Hi Kevin
I am struggling with the same thing during bare metal installs of Hyper-V hosts. In my case I have managed to narrow it down to the language settings in the oobe pass. If I include them, parsing of the unattend file halts (without an explicit error anywhere)
and the host fails to join the domain. Could you try to leave out the language settings in oobe pass and see if it then completes as expected? Would be interesting to see if it actually is the same issue with a slightly different flavour :)
EDIT: Got a bit further now with the new release of WS2012 R2. All the testing I've done has been with the 05182 build. Stumbled across KB2913316 which stated that a new build (31419) was released december 11th. Allthough the KB does not directly apply to our
issue I thought I'd give it a go, so I went about building a new vhdx-image. Low and behold - the first test went smoothly applying all the settings in the unattend file! I'm going to continue testing to make sure the successful run wasn't just a fluke.

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

SCVMM 2012 R2 - Problems with VM storage location

Hello ,
I have a SCVMM 2012 R2 HA Installation . Under vmm i have an 8 node hyper-v 2012 r2 cluster with cluster shared volumes. My problem is with VM placement. Every time i create a Virtual machine by default VMM chooses a spesific CSV that i don't want . Also
because of a provisioning engine i work a lot creating Vm's with powershell. The same happens with powershell. By default the VM's are created in a Volume i don't want. Is there a way to change this somehow ? If i go to each node properties and in placement
paths in the default paths i see all my CSV but the add-remove buttons are grayed out and i cannot remove or add anything.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Running the VM Deployment wizard when deploying to a host group, you are able to specify the CSV for placement. this is also possible through powershell using -path.
Normally, we recommend to use storage classification and associate vhdx's with the right classification so that the intelligent placement engine can take care of it for us.
Have you tried this?

Kristian (Virtualization and some coffee: http://kristiannese.blogspot.com )
Hello Kristian and thanks for your answer ,
Yes as you said running the Vm Deployment wizard i can choose the volume i want to create the VM. As i understand the default volume is the one with the largest free space. I also dont use storage classifications. All of my CSV's created manually before
VMM exists in my infastructure. Also as i see i cannot edit the placements in each hosts. It has as default all my CSV and add-remove is greyd out.
So...
As i said in my previous post im using a provisioning portal (not 3rd party) to create Virtual Machines. Im using powershell to create my VM's . Can you help me a little with the -path command ? I have take the script from VMM for creation of machines BUT
vmm dos not put somethere the -path command. It only have
Set-SCVMConfiguration -VMConfiguration $virtualMachineConfiguration -VMLocation but with this it only creates the vm configuration in the path i choose and vmdisks are going to the default path vmm chooses (the csv with the most free
space).
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot
