Virtual Machines disappear from Hyper-V Manager on reboot

I have a Windows 2012 RC server that has fail-over clustering installed (single server at the moment), and it has an iSCSI disk that is configured as a CSV volume.  When I create a new VM in Hyper-V Manager, I am storing the .vhdx and machine definition
on that CSV.  Everything is good until I reboot the server.  Once I do that, the VM disappears from the Hyper-V console even though the symbolic link to the server still exists in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines.
I have tried to add the VM to the cluster manager (Configure Role...High Availability Wizard), but it fails with no error message that indicates why it is failing.  I get the following two errors in the report:
An error occurred while configuring the virtual machine configuration resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration MYVM' with information about the virtual machine.
and
There was a failure configuring the virtual machine role for 'MYVM'.
Please, override 'Header' property The object has been deleted from the cluster.
The first error occurs after "Notifying virtual machine configuration resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration BUF-FS-SQL' that its configuration has changed..."
I sense it might be related to permissions on the CSV, but not sure what permissions may need to be set?
Thanks,
Bob

That did not work.  VM still does not show up after restart. I have tried to import the VM from the original location on the CSV, but I get:
"Hyper-V encountered an error while loading the virtual machine configuration from C:\ClusterStorage\Host\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines\Test\Virtual....\GUID....
Hyper-V encountered an error trying to access an object on computer 'localhost' because the object was not found.  The object might have been deleted, or you might not have permission to perform the task.".....

  • How to get information about creation of a virtual machine on a Hyper-v host.

    Hi,
    How to get information about creation of a virtual machine on a Hyper-v host?
    I need: host name, time created, creator user.
    I saw in Hyper-V-VMMS but I found info about movements of VM between hosts.
    Thank's in advance.
    Denius Valiant

    For Host Name * Created Time Use This Command In PowerShell 
    Get-VM -Name (Read-Host "Type Your Vm Name") |select CreationTime , ComputerName
    and for Create User , As i know you should see on Event Log . 
    Go To Event Log Viewer--->Applications And Services Logs--->Microsoft--->Windows--->Hyper-V-VMMS--->Operational 
    You can see in Event Log who create the Vm.

    Hi
    Your notebook supports the Realtek 802.11(b/g/n) RTL8188CE WLan chip.
    First of all you should check the control panel -> software are
    Check if there is something installed related to Realtek Wlan driver.
    If yes, then uninstall this piece of software firstly.
    If you will not find any Realtek Wlan software there, I recommend downloading the driver from here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
    The latest available version seems to be 1005.19.0420.2011
    feedback would be appreciated...

  • No longer able to view virtual machine from Hyper-V Manager

    From the Windows 2008 R2 host machine, I can run the Hyper-V Manager and 'connect' to the Virtual Machine.  The window pops up with nothing but a gray background (clearly the same gray background of the log in screen), but no 'ctrl-alt-delete' prompt
    and no ability to log in.  This was previously working fine.
    Note that I can still make a Remote Desktop connection to the Virtual Machine and it works fine.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I never seen this issue before, base on my experience, it may cause by your AV soft block some critical components of Hyper-V host, please try the following exclude specific
    directories or process with your AV soft.
    •Default virtual machine configuration directory (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V)
    •Custom virtual machine configuration directories
    •Default virtual hard disk drive directory (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks)
    •Custom virtual hard disk drive directories
    •Custom replication data directories, if you are using Hyper-V Replica
    •Snapshot directories
    •Vmms.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)
    •Vmwp.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)

  • Hyper-V Virtual machine disappeared

    Hello,
    I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.  I have the Hyper-V role installed with to virtual machines.  I rebooted yesterday after windows updates loaded and now one of my virtual machine have disappeared.  I have run through hours of technet
    forums trying to find the answer and have come up empty. 
    I checked ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows|Hyper-V\Virtual Machines and the symbolic link is gone.  I tried to recreat it using the mklink command, but every time I recreate the symbolic link to the .xml it comes back as a link to a file folder.
    I checked the acl on the virtual machine .xml on my D: drive and the GUID SID is missing.  I also tried to add it back via the iacls command but it doesn't seem to exist. 
    After all that, I decided to recreate the entire virtual machine, but now I can't create virtual machines.  I get teh following error:
    "Failed to create external configuration store at 'folder path': A required privilege is not held by the client. (Virtual machine ID 0x80070522)"
    After that error I opend azman.msc and verified that the initalstore.xml has the administrators group in it.
    I do not know what else I can do from here.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jumar2,

  • Hyper-V virtual machines disappearing

    Running W10 Enterprise TP with no security software, nothing fancy.
    Twice now my Virtual Machine running locally in Hyper-V Manger have disappeared after a reboot. They are still running in the background by their VHDs being in use, but I can't see them to do anything.
    Last time this happened, I had to remove Hyper-V, reboot, re-add Hyper-V, and the VM appeared. However, there was something wrong with the VM so I deleted it and started over.
    Any ideas?

  • I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in different Hyper-V Hosts. Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?

    As title,
    I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in 2 different Hyper-V Hosts, and one of the perform as a PDC Emulator.
    Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?
    i.e. Both of the VMs sync with Hyper-V host, instead the other host should sync with the PDC Emulator?
    I run w32tm command and get the following result:
    C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:dc8.domain8.local /source
    VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
    C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:hpvzh05.domain8.local /source
    VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
    HPVZH05.domain8.local works as PDC server.
    How can I make DC8 sync with HPVZH05?

    Awesome!
    It looks like your PDC is successfully pulling time from an external source.  DC8 is not longer pulling from Hyper-V so that is good.
    When you set a client to pull from a source ( and in this case DC8 is pulling from NT5DS, which tells it to pull from the PDC), and it CAN'T pull from that source, it will default to Local CMOS Clock.  This is likely an easy fix.
    First, check connectivity:
    - Method one- Download Portqry and run this command: portqry -n HPVZH05 -p both -e 123 and see if the results say listening, or
    - Method two- Run this command from DC8: w32tm /stripchart /computer:HPVZH05
    If you get any kind of error using method two, it's a connectivity issue.  (Maybe you have a firewall that's blocking access?)
    The other cause of this, and probably more likely in your case, is that your PDC isn't properly advertising as a reliable time source, so DC8 isn't 'allowed' to pull from it.
    Try running this command on your PDC: w32tm /config /reliable:yes
    Then go restart time on your PDC, THEN DC8 again.  (net stop w32time & net start w32time)
    Here's an article you can reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794937(v=WS.10).aspx

  • Access local machine internet from Hyper-V Machine

    Dear All,
    I have configured a VM as a domain controller and want to access my host machine internet. below is an image of the VM Settings
    Mohd Sufian www.sqlship.wordpress.com Please mark the post as Answered if it helped.

    Hello Mohammad,
    As I can see from your screenshot above that you have 2 vNICs attached to this Virtual Machine.
    The logical Name is set to Internal Switch. Could you please confirm what type of Virtual Switch did you choose when you create the vSwitch?
    External, Internal or Private?
    If the Virtual Switch is Created as Internal, then it's impossible to access the Internet, the network traffic won't leave the Hyper-V Host. Please make sure that you have at least one Virtual Switch created as
    External and attached to this VM.  
    Now based on your existing Network Infrastructure (VLAN, Firewall, etc...) you must adjust if needed.
    Hope this help.

  • How to import a virtual machine to a Hyper-V server by programme on Windows server 2012 ?

    Hi
    As we know, Hyper-V of Windows server 2012 can support importing a VM without exporting it first manually now.
    So I try to code a programme to do it.
    I use the method "ExportVirtualSystemEx" of  "Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService". referenced by
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379583(v=vs.85).aspx
    But the error said that "You can import a virtual machine only if you used Hyper-V to create and export it."
    Since we can import an unexported virtual machine in Hyper-V of windows server 2012 manually, so is there any API to support to do it by programme ?

    Hi vincent
    Thanks for your infomation. It is really useful for us.
    I 'd like to know How to adjust path ?
    When I use command 'import-vm' to import VM, I got the error "import-vm : Unable to import virtual machine due to configuration errors.  Please use Compare-VM to repair the virtual machine."
    I  try to fix this error referenced by
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848612.aspx
    I ran the commands as bellow :

    But this web page don't mentioned how to fix the "Virtual Hard Disk file not found" error.
    and I don't want to fix the VMNetworkAdapter issue by disconnect it.
    So could you told me how to modify the virtual hard disk file path and VMNetworkAdapter to make sure that I can import the virtual machine successfully?

  • Is a Java Virtual Machine different from the Java Runtime Environment?

    Ok I have heard people say they are running a java virtual machine, but how is that different from the Java Runtime Environment you install on any computer to run Java? Also if it is different what is the purpose of it and using commands like this:
    -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC

    I've noticed lately that at certain web pages a window
    titled "Install on Demand" pops up and says that I
    need to download "Java virtual machine." When I press
    on the download button another window pops up that
    says it was unable to download and that I should try
    again or go to Windows Update to install the
    component. When I do the Windows Update, at the
    Windows Update website it states that there are no
    updates available for my computer at this time. What
    should I do?
    Thank you in advance.I am having the same problem. I downloaded the JVM download from the sun homepage... and I still can't use digichat applet.. anyone have a fix?

  • Virtual machine packaging in Hyper-V 2012?

    Hi all,
    I am running a custom Linux VM on Hyper-V 2012. Do we have a virtual machine packaging mechanism in Hyper-V 2012 Server, similar to OVF in ESXi?
    I tried MSVMC tool. But looks like it only works for Windows guests.
    Do we have any other option for getting a VM package in Hyper-V ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Saleem

    You Export the VM - that creates a folder of files (not unlike OVF).
    You can then zip this or TAR it.  Hand it off, extract it, Import it on the other end.
    The process is the same, but the XML is not 'ovf' - it is very similar however.
    BTW - OVF is an open standard.  And VMware has an proprietary implementation of it.  So, taking that into consideration as well.  The process is no different.

  • Virtual Machine boot from a CD

    Hi all, a new virtual machine just recently installed and working is not able to boot from a CD. I was looking in the forums to find a solution and found this boot from hard disk failed not a bootable disk on oracle VM
    so I did what was suggested and added boot option to my vm.cfg for this machine:
    acpi = 1
    apic = 1
    boot = 'da'
    builder = 'hvm'
    device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
    disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/117_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP/System.img,hda,w',
    'file:/OVS/running_pool/117_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP/Data.img,hdb,w',
    ',hdc:cdrom,r',
    kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
    memory = '512'
    name = '117_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP'
    on_crash = 'restart'
    on_reboot = 'restart'
    pae = 1
    serial = 'pty'
    usbdevice = 'tablet'
    vcpus = 1
    vif = ['x']
    vnc = 1
    vncconsole = 1
    vnclisten = '0.0.0.0'
    vncpasswd = 'zzzzzzz'
    vncunused = 1
    Now seems that the boot option is recognized as does not boot from hard disk (fine!), but it does not boot from cdrom, any ideas?
    Thank you very much
    Carlos

    Thanks for the answer Aray but unfortunately it remains the same, vm.cfg is like this now:
    less vm.cfg
    acpi = 1
    apic = 1
    boot = 'd'
    builder = 'hvm'
    device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
    disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/121_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP/System.img,hda,w',
    'file:/OVS/running_pool/121_SRVAXIPMI180_RedHatES_51_Tomcat_DVLP/Data.img,hdd,w',
    ',hdc:cdrom,r',

  • Recognizing hardware from a Windows virtual machine hosted on Linux

    Hi,
        I would like to isntall windows in a virtual machine run from linux, and run my labview vi's and do aquisition from there.  I tried once using a virtualized Windows XP 32-bit on ubuntu 64-bit, with Virtualbox, but the windows installation didn't recognize my PCI-MIO-16E-4 card.  Maybe its because I didn't have the linux drivers installed.. I don't know.  Soon I will begin using a the 7853R FPGA with the PXI-1036 Chassis, and would prefer if my virutalized Windows installation could see this hardware.
     Has anyone gone through the steps of using NI hardware from a virtual Windows installation?  Either Virtualbox, Xen,  Vmware, or whatever.. 
    Thanks,
    -Sidney

    Hi Sidney,
    I see that this thread is a bit old, but I still have something to add. I know for a fact that VirtualBox, VMWare and VirtualPC won't let a guest OS see any real PCI card installed on the host computer. However, you might have better luck with Xen. There are options in Xen which allows you to pass PCI devices forward to guest OS's. People have gotten pretty far with using PCI forwarding that they have even managed to run Windows Vista with full hardware acceleration with Aero as a guest operating system. The only requirement is for your CPU to have virtualization support, i.e. the vmx or svm flag. The only catch is, Xen is significantly harder to set up.
    I haven't tried this myself, and I am not from the LabVIEW group, and I am by no means authorative on this topic (don't let my signature fool you).
    If you manage to get this to work, we would be interested to hear from you!
