VM windows 2008 Cluster on Hyperv 2012 Server FC Disk error after Live Migration of the active VM Cluster Node

Deployed a 2 nodes Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Failover Cluster on a HyperV 2012 Server cluster deployed on IBM HS23 blade.
Disk susbsystem is IBM Storwize V7000. MPIO driver installed plus IBM DDSM.
Lun presented to the VM are connected with Virtual FC Adapter and everything works fine in the cluster until we start a live migration of the VM which hold the cluster disks online.
After migration complete positively, at the moment the MPIO of the migrated VM goes crazy with a lot of errors (source: mpio eventID 16 ) and warnings (source: mpio EventID: 17) in the system event log. After that the disks becomes unavailable.
Consequently everything hangs until power off the migrated vm, so the services on the cluster switchs on the second node.
I try to set the registry key HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk\TimeOutValue to 190 as i found on various articles but nothing seems to change....
Any idea?

Hello,
I've just been through the IBM interoperability matrix and came across this statement:
Hyper-V on x64 based systems is supported with the following guest OS: Windows 2003 32bit, Windows 2003 64bit, Windows 2008 32bit, Windows 2008 64bit.
Clustering of guest OS is not supported at this time. When using Emulex HBAs with Hyper-V please select the settings mentioned in the Host Attachment section of SVC Info Center

  • Failover Cluster 2008 R2 - VM lose connectivity after live migration

    Hello,
    I have a Failover Cluster with 3 server nodes running. I have 2 VMs running in one the the host without problems, but when I do a live migration of the VM to another host the VM lose network connectivity, for example if I leave a ping running, the ping command
    has 2 response, and 3 packets lost, then 1 response again, then 4 packets lost again, and so on... If I live migrate the VM to the original host, everything goes OK again.
    The same bihavior is for the 2 VMs, but I do a test with a new VM and with that new VM everything Works fine, I can live migrate it to every host.
    Any advice?

    Hi Cristian Ruiz,
    What your current host nic settings now, from you description it seems you are using the incorrect network nic design. If you are using iSCSI storage it need use the dedicate
    network in cluster.
    If your NIC teaming is iconfigured in switch independent + dynamic, please try to disable VMQ on VM Setting for narrow down the issue area.

    Hi!
    thank you for your reply!
    Yes, We are using iSCSI storage, but it has its own NICs for that (2 independant NIcs just to connect the server with the storage) and they are configured to not use those NICs to cluster communication. The team configuration is just for the LAN connectivity.
    The NIC teaming is configured using BACS4 software from a DELL server and in Smart Load Balancing and Failover (as you can see here
    http://www.micronova.com.ar/cap01.jpg). The link you passed is for Windows Server 2012 and we are running Windows Server 2008 R2, BUT as you can see in the following capture the NICs has that feature disabled
    ( http://www.micronova.com.ar/cap02.jpg ).
    One test that I'm thinking to do is to remove teaming configuration and test just with one independant NIC for LAN connection. But, I do not know if you think another choice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cristian L Ruiz
    Sorry, another choice I'm thinking too is to update the driver versión. But the server is in production and I need to take a downtime window for test that.

    No entry is made on the cluster log of the destination node. 
    To me this means the nodes cannot talk to each other, but I don’t know why.  
    They are on the same domain.  Their server names resolve properly and they can ping eachother both by name and IP.

  • How to Upgrade Service Manager 2012 SP1 with Windows 2008 R2 to SCSM 2012 R2 with Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    We are using Service Manager 2012 SP1 UR2 with Windows 2008 R2.
    I am planning to upgrade Service Manager to R2 with Windows 2012 R2. I found the steps to upgrade SCSM 2012 Sp1 to R2 but need assistance to upgrade with 2012 R2 OS.
    Please suggest how to achieve the above mentioned objective.
    Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

    Virtualization solves this problem handily, by allowing you to create a new server to run the new program on the same hardware. it also solves the related problem of moving off unsupported hardware without changing OS or application. VMware is my personal
    favorite, but Hyper-V, Xen, and VirtualBox all have similar capabilities.
    Compare the cost of work and confidence in success of a upgrade, where any of thousands or millions of uncontrolled settings could cause an issue, to the cost of work and confidence in success of installing a new OS instance and configuring a known state
    for the new environment.
    In short, upgrades should no longer be a thing. there are just too many ways they can go wrong, and it's far too easy to create a new OS with minimal expense and effort.

  • Network adapter configuration error after quick migrate of stopped VM in 2012 r2 data-center edition 3 node cluster environment

    We've got a couple of Windows 2012 r2 / Hyper-V 3 node clusters, and I have a problem with network adapters on them.
     I have 3 node cluster all vm running fine on node 1 and 2 also quick and live migration very good between
    node 1 and node 2, but no vm migrating on node 3.  show "Network adapter configuration error".
    If the VM is powered off, and I move it to 3rd
    host (quick migration via Failover Cluster Manager), the network adapter loses its connection to the virtual switch - it turns to "Configuration Error"..if
    manually change V switch of every VM then it worked only on 3rd node, and having same problem on node 1 and 2. 
    Quick migrate with the power off, and it fails to pick up the VSwitch on the3rd host.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    > I created a new VM via the Failover Cluster Manager (ie not via Hyper-V manager on one of the nodes).
    Generally, this issue happens if a network adapter is added or removed on a highly available virtual machine using the Hyper-V manager console. Since the Hyper-V Manager console is not cluster aware, which means that configuration changes that are made to
    virtual networks or virtual machines in the Hyper-V Manager console must be replicated to the other cluster nodes by using the “refresh virtual machine configuration” option in the Failover Cluster Manager console.
    I know that “refresh virtual machine configuration” option is not needed if you change virtual machine settings using the Failover Cluster Manager console, but you may try to refresh the configuration of virtual machine to check the result.
    In the Failover Cluster Manager console, expand Services and Applications, and then click the virtual machine for which you want to refresh the configuration.
    In the Actions pane, scroll down, click More Actions and then click Refresh virtual machine configuration.
    For more information please refer to following MS articles:

  • SSRS 2012: Report Header PrintOnFirstPage-problem after report migration from SSRS 2008

    Hi ,
    I developed my report using VS 2008 IDE and the report header property "PrintOnFirstPage" is set to False.
    The content of the header are some textboxes and lines that should show only on page number > 1.
    This works fine in VS 2008 IDE in preview mode as well as with reports rendered by SSRS 2008 report server.
    Recently I migrate&convert the same report to SSRS 2012 I noticed a different rendering behaviour of my report.
    So in VS 2010 preview mode, the page headers content (textboxe etc.)  is not visible on first page but the headers space did not colapse as it does in VS 2008 IDE preview mode.
    I checked all the report properties but unable to find a solution to my problem.
    I was able to reprduce the same behaviour by creating a new report using VS2010 IDE.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Bodo

    Hi BodoHH,
    I have tested on my local enviorment and can't reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by many factors, it can be caused by the properties setting and can also caused by the visual studio, Detais information below for your reference:
    As you mentioned that you have check all the report properties, please also check the tablix,Page Header,report body properties to see if the size are the same with that in the SSRS2008.
    Please open this rdl report in the report builder to see if the print layout is correct, if it works fine, the issue can be caused by the visual studio.
    Please also try to upload the rdl report to report manager to check the layout.
    Please also provide the snaphot of the layout in VS2010 to let us better analysis about the issue.
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • Windows 2008 R2 - Unable to add additional adm files + error: Objects.reference

    I am running a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal server with Zenworks 10 on it. I am
    trying to create a windows policy group for it, but when I go to add the MS
    office adm files, they never add. If I run gpedit.msc locally, I am able to
    add them. Also when I am done editing the policy before the upload I get
    the following error:
    Objects.reference not set to an instance of an object. at
    novell.Zenworks.PolicyHandlers.WindowsGroupPolicyP lural.GPHelper.ExportGPSettings()
    I have everything patched, any help would be appreciated.

    I don't want to go into the "Why's" too much, but these intermittent
    issues were seen prior to ZCM 10.3.0
    The decision was made to Remove Support for the 64-bit Platform for
    modifying GPOs. This was added to the documentation and the ZCC was
    supposed to block you. For some reason, the ZCC does not block you but
    starting in ZCM 11 it does. So technically there is a bug that it does
    not block you.
    There are also on-going plans to correct the 64-bit Platform support but
    I do not know when that will happen. At this point, I don't think
    adding the support back in is planned in any of the minor point updates.
    There should not be any reason why editing the GPO on a 32-Bit machine
    would not work on a 32-bit machine.
    Oddly, it seems to work most of the time from 64-bit Operating Systems.
    I have never had an issue with 64-bit Operating systems until I tried it
    with ZCM 11 and I was blocked.
    This led me to research the issue where I discovered the details above.
    Since many ZCM 10.3.x customers may have never had an issue and will not
    realize it was not supported until they get to ZCM 11, more calls may
    get generated to increase the priority of the issue but at this time I
    would not expect a quick addition of 64-bit OS support for editing policies.

  • Failed live migration from HyperV2012 to Hyperv2012R2 cluster

    I’m at a loss on something and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.    I tried to migrate a server from one of my 2012 hosts to a brand new verified Hyperv 2012 R2 cluster.  I had already succesfully migrated 5 others
    from there but this one Sql 2012 guest gave me a problem.
    When I tried to live migrate it, it failed.  It said the hardware on the destination computer was not compatible.  I did some research and one blog said that sometimes you migrate to different hardware and it fails, like processors.  The guy
    on the blog said to check the box under processor\compatibility to put the virtual processor in compatibility mode.  I did that and tried again but it failed again.  This blog said something about resource groups.  The virt was “locked” at that
    point.
    I got frustrated so I just turned off the guest and copied the disks and rebuilt it on Aag with the same memory processor setting.  I thought I was fine, but I looked at it the next day and in the failover cluster manager it shows the machine is “off”. 
    BUT the VM is actually running because the server is working. It’s a database server and the sites using it are up, and I can RDC to it.  So I’m afraid to touch it.
    And these are the errors from the event log
    'Virtual Machine Configuration DEVDB1' failed to register the virtual machine with the virtual machine management service.
    The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to register the configuration for the virtual machine '62AAD2B5-8E03-4B59-84E0-D52CBF36934B' at 'C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2\Devdb1\DEVDB1': The
    system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002). If the virtual machine is managed by a failover cluster, ensure that the file is located at a path that is accessible to other nodes of the cluster.
    Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration DEVDB1' of type 'Virtual Machine Configuration' in clustered role 'DEVDB1' failed. The error code was '0x2' ('The system cannot find the file
    specified.').
    Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart
    it.  Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
    I think I moved it while it was in a funky state.  I also think I was supposed to “export” the vm first.  I guess I’m a newbie but I’m not sure what to do to fix it.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    I think i found at least part of the problem but i'm not sure.  My new VM's configuration files and directory are called this.

  • Hyper-v 2012 r2 slow throughputs on network / live migrations

    Hi, maybe someone can point me in the right direction, I have 10 servers 5 Dell r210s and 5 Dell R320's, I have basically converted these servers to standalone hyper-v 2012 servers, so there is no clustering on any at the moment.
    Each server is configured with 2 1Gb nics teamed via a virtual switch, now when I copt files between server 1 and 2 for example I see 100MBs throughput, but if I copy a file to server 3 at the same time the file copy load splits the 100MBs throughput between
    the 2 copy processes. I was under the impression if I copied 2 files to 2 totally different servers the load would basically be split across the 2 nics effectively giving me 2Gbs throughput but this does not seem to be the case. I have played around with tcpip
    large send offloads, jumbo packets, disabled vmq on the cards, they are broadcoms. :-(  but it doesn't really seem to make a difference with all of these settings.
    The other issue is If I live migrate a 12Gb vm machine running only 2gb ram, effectively just an o/s it takes between 15 to 20 minutes to migrate, I have played around with the advanced settings, smb, compression, tcpip not real game changers, BUT if I shut
    town the vm and migrate it, it takes, just under 3 and a half minutes to move across.
    I am really stumped here, I am busy in a test phase of hyper-v but cant find any definitive documents relating to this stuff.

    Hi Mark,
    The servers (hyper-v 2012 r2) are all basically configured with ssvmm2012R2 where they all have teamed 1Gb pNics, into a virtual switch, then there are vNics for the Vmcloud, live migration etc.  The physical network is 2 Netgear Gs724T switches which
    are interlinked and each servers 1st nic is plugged into the switch1 and the second nic is plugged into the switch2.See Below Image)  The hyper-v port is set to independent Hyper-v load balancing. 
    The R320 servers are running raid 5 sas drives, the R210s have 1Tb drives mirrored.  The servers all are using DAS storage, we have not moved to looking at using iscsi and san is out the question at the moment.
    I am currently testing between 2x 320s and 2x R210s, I am not copying data to the vm's yets, I am basically testing the transfer between the actual hosts at the moment by copying a 4Gb file manually, After testing the live migrations I decided to test to
    see the transfer rates between the servers first, I have been playing around with the offload settings and rss, what I don't understand is yesterday, the copy between the servers was running up to 228Mbs ie (using both nics) when copying
    the file between the servers, and then a few hours later it only was copying at 50/60Mbs, but its now back at 113Mbs seemingly to be only using one nic.
    I was under the impression if you copy a file between 2 servers the nicks could use the 2gb bandwidth, but after reading many posts they say only one nic, so how did the copies get up to 2Gb yesterday. Then again if you copy files between 3 servers, then
    each copy would use one nic, basically giving you 2Gbs, but this is again not being seen.
    Regards Keith

  • Help - 'server too busy' errors suddenly occurring all over the place

  • Exporting PDF files from SSRS 2012 - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"

    Good day
    I have the situation where we are exporting PDF files from reporting services in our website. 
    When dividing the data into sections, the report exports perfectly, but when exporting the entire set and trying to open the file, we get the following error in Adobe Reader:
    "There was an error opening this document.  The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
    We tried to repair the file, no luck.  We tried to use different PDF readers, no luck
    We then checked the file sizes.  When exporting the subsections, each section exports a file of about 2mb. 
    When exporting the entire set, the file is about 1.3mb. 
    Adding all the sections together gives me a rough estimate of 40mb.
    Exporting to TIFF works beautifully and returns a file of 41.5mb. Word and Excel formats also work well, only issue there is the page numbering and formatting.
     The problem we have is the clients are adamant about having it in PDF format.
    Any advice please?

    This was one of the temporary suggestions I gave the client...
    Unfortunately they do not like this as the page numbering and formatting in Word does not appear right.  We are talking about over 1300 pages.  I can't expect them to change the formatting with each export.  Additionally,  the data is
    constantly changing and each client has their own data.  The clients export the reports randomly.  I therefore can't post the reports back onto the server.
    Thanks for the speedy response though

  • Disk Error after BC Windows XP Install on Snowleopard

    So when I inserted the Windows XP disc in my mac after it told me to, my computer restarted and installed Windows XP on my newly partitioned 40GB Fat32 drive (it had asked to chnage to NTSF but I selected leave without changing.  After installing Windows it said something like "Windows is installed, now restarting", now every I try to boot up with the Windows XP partition by holding down "option/alt" at start up, it goes to the black DOS like screen and says Disk Error, cannot load Windows, press any key to continue". Pressing any key does nothing, so I have to restart, and thus I am at another brick wall. 
    I downloaded some Boot Camp Snow Leopard Drivers and tried burning the .iso of it to a disc but that wasn't even working, not sure I even need to get to that step yet.
    Help?

    Got it, was supposed to reformat the drive within the windows installation.  Turns out reading the .pdf manual can be helpful....

  • RDS 2012 re-connection after live migration.

    Is there a way to speed up the re-connection after a live migration?
    So if i am in a vm that live migrates it feels like it hangs for about 10 seconds the reconnects and is fine..... While this is OK its not ideal. Is there a way to improve this?

    Actually 10 seconds sounds like a very long time to me. In my experience using Shared Nothing Live Migration I've seen the switch being almost instantaneous, with a continual ping possibly dropping one or two packets, and certainly quick enough that it's
    unlikely any users would notice the change. So in terms of whether it can be improved I'd say yes.
    As you can see from the technical overview here
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831435.aspx the final step is for a signal to be sent to the switch informing it of the new MAC address of the servers new destination, so I wonder if the slow switch over might be connected to that, or perhaps
    some other network issue.
    Is the network connection poor between the servers which might cause a delay during the final sync of changes between the server copies? Are you moving between subnets?

  • Error on setup failover cluster with Windows 2008 R2 enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 (also with SP1)

    Hi!
    The setup process fails with this error:
      Configuration error code:     
    0x1C2074D8@1216@1
      Configuration error description: There was an error setting private property 'VirtualServerName' to value 'CLUSTER02' for resource 'SQL Server'.  Error: Value does not fall within the expected range.
    I have found some hints by google, but nothing really helpfull.
    Has anyone had a simular problem when installing SQL server 2008 R2?
    All posts I found are about sql server 2008 (no R2!).
    The cluster itself is working (storage, network, msdtc, quorum...).
    Any hints?

    Hi Andreas Plachy,
    Please make sure that the Virtual Server Name ‘CLUSTER02’ is unique on the network. In addition, are there any resources named ‘SQL Server’ on the Windows cluster? If that is the case, you may need to rename the related resources to avoid conflicting with
    SQL Server, and try again.
