Virtual Machine installs on wrong server

I have install OVM OVS:
Server1 -- Oracle VM Manager
Server2 -- Oracle Virtual Server -- Server Pool Master, Utility Server
Server3 -- Oracle Virtual Server -- Virtual Machine Server
When I create my Virtual Machine (using Oracle VM Manager), it creates the Virtual Machine on Server2 and not on Server1.
Thanks,
Steve

hi Steve,

Help Requested - Creating Solaris 10 x64 Virtual Machine on an ESX Server

Hi All,
I have been trying to create a Solaris 10 64 bit Virtual Machine on ESX and VMWare server Virtualization Platform.
One of the forum entries said - The installer doesn't really care. At every boot, the processor type will be determined and a 32-bit or a 64-bit kernel will be run (unless you override it)
I hence downloaded the iso from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp and I installed it. When I run uname -a command on the terminal, this is what is displayed -
SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
This indicates that the kernel is 32 bit right?
Please help me create the 64 bit VM.
Thanks in Advance,
Raj.

Hi,
I am having lots of trouble doing a jumpstart

also check your privilege for the file please.
I think it is possibly not mounting the nfs share. I
have already changed the NFS_client variable to 3

I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Hi,
The key point would be this:
The Virtual Machine Worker Process has lost its connection to the root\virtualization WMI namespace: General access denied error (0x80070005).
Please open MMC, add Component Services snap-in:
Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config -> Windows Management Instrumentation -> Right Click, Properties -> Security “Launch and Activation Permission” -> Edit -> gave Authenticated Users
Full Control
Check the result.

Do i need another Virtual machine rather than sharepoint server to install workflow manager ?

Hi ,
I have installed sharepoint 2013 on a single server with a built-in-database. And i have installed OWA in another virtual machine. Now i am trying to create a workflow. I have downloaded and installed sharepoint designer and workflow
manager in the sharepoint 2013 itself. Do i need to install workflow manager in another server and make it to communicate with sharepoint server ? And how to email-id in workflow when i tried in sharepoint designer we have select the user. How to allocate
e-mail id for users ?

Creating new VM is choice of your architecture. Workflow Manager only requires below.
Workflow Manager 1.0. Email ID will be automatically picked from the participants from AD.
.NET Framework 4 Platform Update 3 or .NET Framework 4.5
Service Bus 1.0
Workflow Client 1.0
PowerShell 3.0
The following additional requirements must be met before you can run Configuration Wizard to configure Workflow:
Instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server Express 2008 R2 SP1, or SQL Server 2012.
TCP/IP connections or named pipes must be configured in SQL Server.
Windows Firewall must be enabled.
Ports 12290 and 12291 must be available.

Migrating Virtual Machine - Error "Failed to Complete planned Virtual Machine at migration destination" - Server 2012 R2

So to get started I'll give a bit of background on the Infrastructure we are currently working with.
We have:
2 x Hyper-V Hosts (Currently 2 for testing migrations, this will increase once we have a working platform)
2 x File Servers acting as storage nodes for VHD Storage
1 x Physical DC
The Hyper-V Hosts both have Server 2012 R2 Datacentre installed, the rest have Server 2012 R2 Standard installed and configured.
We currently have some VM's sitting on one host and I am in the process of simulations to make sure live migration is working between the two HV Hosts (This is a non-clustered setup), Everything is on the domain and i've been using a domain admin account
to administer these servers for these simulations.
We plan on having VHD's stored on FS01 and FS02, basically our primary host is going to have all primary servers on and then those vhd's will be stored on FS01 and then all secondary/redundant servers are going to be on the second host and vhd's stored on
FS02 - Simple enough?
I can perform Data migrations between both FS01 and FS02 using the Hyper-V Management tool on both hosts without any issues. The issue I am currently encountering is when I perform a migration of the "Virtual Machine Only". Now, this simulation
works when the data for the VM is stored on either of the hosts using UNC pathway, no hiccups at all, I receive the below error when ever the data is stored on either FS01 or FS02 using again, UNC pathway (These VM's power on and work perfectly otherwise while
hosted on FS01/02).
Error:
I've researched this quite a lot and have gone through countless solutions other people are having.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5780d041-4036-404e-9f33-8abe025bfe2b/hyperv-failed-to-create-external-configuration-store-general-access-denied-error-ox80070005?forum=winserverhyperv (Which
took me to the below link)
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2249906 (This solution didn't work, in fact i couldn't even get CMD to run the command)
Now, with
THIS SOLUTION that I attempted I worked with adding all the hosts and FS01 (because nothing is on FS02 at the moment) in an attempt to get the VM Migration only working between hosts and still receive the same error.
As a testing option, I Moved the Data for the VM back to one of the hosts using UNC pathway and then performed a live migration to the other host no problems, then performed a data migration back to FS01 and that also worked. I don't particularly want to
do this with production VM's as I have at least 6 x 780GB vhd's that need to be moved and this would move them more than once, obviously not ideal.
If someone is able to help me out, or at least point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!

I did try adding the 'Everyone' permission for the testing of migration to see if it was a permission issue which didn't help at all before I'd posted this article.
This ended up being a Computer Delegation issue, I'd neglected to add the 'cifs' (SMB Protocol) on ALL servers for ALL servers in the cluster, I didn't add that permission in my FS01 or FS02 servers for each other or the hyper-v servers that were in operation.
I've now started our production Hyper-V Servers and they haven't skipped a beat since adding in those delegations correctly to all servers as a "Full mesh" type setup.
Thanks for responding in any case :)
This is the permission I am referring to if anyone else has the issue:
AD>Computers>{Name of Computer}
I also performed an active directory replication forcefully with:
repadmin /replicate <Target> <Source> dc=Domain,dc=local
Run as a powershell command.

Not able to access virtual machine applications in remote server.

Hi All,
I am using Oracle Linux server 5.6 - 64 bit and installed all IAM 11gr2 stack and Oracle data base. I am not able to access the any Identity Management applications in remote servers (able to access in local virtual machine) but i can able to access Database Enterprise Manager application which is running in the same machine. If any one can help me on how to fix the issue really appreciate your help.
Thanks

It should work with adapter in bridged mode and firewall down. (you should however check and confirm this is the case)
A reason for why local client connections to the server s/w works, and remote ones not, can be due to IP/port binding. If the server binds its listening port on an IP (such as localhost) that is not accessible to remote clients, those clients will not be able to connect.
Have a look at what IP address(es) the listening port(s) are on: netstat -l -t -p
You should see a *:7001 entry for the relevant server process - meaning that it used INADDR_ANY when it did the port bind (binds port to all existing and future IP addresses of that platform).
If not, it means the port bind was done to a single specific IP address - and that the clients need to be able to route and connect to that specific IP in order to get a connection with the server process.

Btw I finally managed to create a new VM wi/ VHD but still can't create new vhd

the physical quad core Xenon server for backup dns also works as exchange server

These actions are not performed in the security context of the user. The Local System / computer account of the Hyper-V Server is what needs the access, not the user.
Also, many AV products will cause these problems if the exclusions are not set properly, as they block the hypervisor from doing its job.

How well will Windows Server run in a virtual machine on OS X Server?

Does anyone have any experience running any of the flavors of Windows Server in a virtual box (either Parallels or VMware) on OS X Server?
I'm looking at setting up a new server. There are a couple of things for which windows is required. I could set up a separate windows box for these, but I'm wondering if it's feasible to set up Windows Server in a virtual box, and solve my problem that way?
The first requirement is to run an Intuit service for running Quickbooks in a network configuration
The second is a small SQL Server database. My plan is to migrate this to MySql eventually, but that is lower on the priority list.

Since you're on Windows 7 I'd probably go for using VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/ to host the virtual machine.
Downloading 2012 depends what you're after really, if you've got TechNet / MSDN then you can download it from there, otherwise you'd need to have a licenced copy. You can download 180 day evaluation versions from the Microsoft website here :

Hi,
can you describe what you are doing, please.
I think we need some more Information:
What are you doing? Converting? From what to what?

Can a virtual machine created on one server run on any other server?

Hello Community
    If you have 7 Servers (named "Server1" ... "Server7") all running WS2012 R2 server Standard Edition,
which you get to create 2 Virtual Machines (using Hyper-V) at no extra cost.
    The question is:
        Knowing that each server has its own IP address and may even be on a different subnet(s)
or the same subnet, if you create 2 virtual machines on (for example) "Server3" will those virtual
machines be able to run on any of the other 6 servers?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Unless this is some trick question then yes you can.

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

Windows Server 2012 R2 OEM Virtual Machine Installs

My company purchased and OEM server license instead of an open license. Since the seal was broken already on the packaging we cannot return it. I have read several articles online and I wanted to ask Tech Net ensure I didn't miss something.
What I want to know is OEM Server OS in compliance when installed as VM's?
The license package says two 2 CPU/2 VM, does this mean I have two seats available for VM's?
According to OEM license, OEM VM's will live and die on the same machine, correct? Meaning, non-transferable.
Why I am asking these questions is because our hosting provider is telling us it must be purchased with a machine and cannot be used in that manner I want. Also, I really don't want to throw away money like that.

Windows Server licenses are assigned to the physical hardware. Windows Server licenses grant you specific rights. One of the rights bestowed with the purchase of a Windows Server Standard license is the right to run up to two virtual operating
system environments on which Windows Server is installed. If one of the VMs is moved to a different host system, that new host system must be licensed to run the number of virtual instances then running on the new host.
I'm still not sure how you purchased an OEM license without hardware. That is the way Microsoft sells those licenses. If you did not purchase this from a Microsoft authorized OEM, I would be very cautious as to whether or not you have a valid
distribution/license.
That said, an OEM Windows Server license is assigned to a specific server. This differs from other licenses, like Open or Volume or Retail which grant the right to move from one server to another once every 90 days. OEM licenses can't move from
one server to another. Additional contracts with Microsoft allow for some level of movement, but the OEM license itself does not grant that right.
Once the OEM license is assigned (this is a paper transaction, i.e. there is no 'installation' of the license) that machine then has the rights granted by that license. In the case of Windows Server Standard, the virtualization rights are for two concurrently
running Windows Server VMs as long as you are not running services on the host not related to management of the virtual environment.
When it comes to licensing, it is always best to talk with a trained Microsoft licensing specialist. Your OEM should be able to explain this to you, but if he is selling licenses without hardware, I might look a little askance at his business practices.
Remember that a license is a legal agreement between you and Microsoft. Depending upon technical forums for legal advice is not something your lawyers would recommend.
And, the fact that you have a hosting environment means that you might even be better served by a different licensing model. Microsoft has different licensing programs for different usage.

I have downloaded the media more than once with same error. Do we need to update the AVMA Key?

Hi JAM ,
Is the first ISO downloaded from MS official web site ?
If yes , please use command " slmgr /dlv "to check the server edition , if it is evaluation edition please refer to the following similar thread :
