VMM 2012 sp1 keeps on crashing randomly when refresh hosts or VMs

This problem has bothered us so much since we installed the last 1 or 2 update rolls. I was not able to find any relevant info online after digging for hours. The forum is my last hope now so any suggestion would be very much appreciated.
We are currently on 3.1.6018.0, with all the updates for SP1 installed. Every time we start the VMM console, we have to keep our fingers crossed, very likely it will crash and we have to restart the VMM service. Then we would be fine for a while until later
someone starts a new VMM console session.
The errors logged every time: 2 identical event 1(I found it interesting to have identical errors from the same source to be logged twice), and event 19999
I think the core part of the error should be this:
P5(methodName):M.V.E.D.SANStorageManagementHelper.FindVolumeForGivenFileSystemPath
P6(exceptionType):System.NullReferenceException
the VMM has all our NAS listed, but we are using CSV through failover cluster manager and not using VMM to provision storage,
is this part of the problem?

System Center Virtual Machine Manager SC VMM 2012 SP1 Installation fails: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in use.

I'm trying to install VMM 2012 SP1 on a Windows Server 2012 machine and it fails with this error,
the scenario is as follows,
Old database (from 2012 RTM) exists on remote SQL 2012 SP1 server
Server was 2008 R2 SP1 so I decided to make a fresh installation of 2012 with the same name
installed ADK
specific error: 01:42:13:VMMPostinstallProcessor threw an exception: Threw Exception.Type: Microsoft.VirtualManager.Setup.Exceptions.BackEndErrorException, Exception.Message: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in
use.
please help

I had a similar problem today when upgrading from SCVMM 2012 RTM to SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM. To re-create the issue you describe originally you can actually just uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM with "retain data" option and re-install the software on the same
computer (with the same name of course), attaching it to the retained DB. If you change the SCVMM server name I believe it will make some things go wrong after your install, like missing VM template passwords for example as the data gets encrypted in
the DB. Maybe it didn't but I didn't risk it. I definitely know if you change service accounts on a scenario like this you will be without the encrypted DB data which isn't much fun. To avoid changing the computer name, if you look in the setup log
files in %systemdrive%\ProgramData\VMMLogs\, specifically the SetupWizard.log file. You will see details on it failing because the same computer name is in the DB table "dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer" and until it is removed from that table I wasn't able to get
the install to complete at all. The error in my logs looked something like this "InnerException.Type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException, InnerException.Message: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'unique_ADHC_AgentServer_ComputerName'. Cannot insert duplicate
key in object 'dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer'. The duplicate key value is (computername.is.writtenhere). The statement has been terminated." In the row data in the DB it also seems to suggest that the computer name had "Virtual Machine Manager Library Files" on
it which is strange since I always remove the local SCVMM server as a library server after I install it and use an off box library server.

Your help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,

Mine is solved.
Was because I removed VMM 2012 R2 on the same host (again, because R2 doesn't do P2V conversions) but the uninstall failed to remove "Microsoft Web Deploy 3.5". When VMM 2012 SP1 installs uses Web Deploy 3.0 and was blocked by the newer version. uninstalled
3.5 and then the console install worked.
hopes this helps someone out there.

Crystal 8.5 crashes randomly when I refresh my data?

Crystal 8.5 with foxpro table locally crashes randomly when I refesh my data?
Message in event log.
Faulting application crw32.exe, version 8.5.3.936, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.2600.5512, fault address 0x000370f0.

Hello,
CR 8.5 is almost 10 years old now and no more patches available. Only option is to log the crash with Microsoft or Dbase to fix the issue. Or upgrade to current versions of CR, if it's still an issue then we can look at finding a solution.

How do I update my VMM 2012 SP1 Guest Services to be the same as the Hosts?

VMM 2012 SP1 and Server 2012 Hyper-V Cluster
How do I update my VMM Guest Services to be the same as the Hosts?
In VMM 2012 SP1 I right click on a VM and select “Install Virtual Guest Services” it installs as expected.
Cluster validation reports this error:
The following virtual machines are running integration services that does not match the host computer. You must update the
integration services on the virtual machines or the host computer to the same version.
I am able to go to the VM on host and update the Guest Services using the hyper-v manager but I would like it to work in VMM.
The version on the ISOs on the host is. 6.2.9200.16433 and the version being installed by VMM is 6.2.9200.16383.
I am not sure where VMM gets the it’s guests services from.
Any idea on how I update VMM to match the host?
Thanks,
-Lee

I hope this does not have to be done from each VM in the cluster (hundreds for me in some clusters)?
I am stunned this cant be done in VMM!!
Validate your cluster???? I am hoping cluster validation is better/faster/less prone to time out storage during the storage tests in 2012?
Does Microsoft know how easy this is to do in VMware? (shift click all VM's, right click "Install/Upgrade VMware Tools)
Thanks, -Lindy
I know right - I am really trying to be positive about this 'great stuff' that MS have brought us, but really - Going back to the Hosts to do each vm individually??? And saying you can do it in Powershell.....
I loved the days of DOS, I still use the concepts of it, but I thought we had (or that we were) evolving!!!!!

Error 1603 trying to uninstall SC VMM 2012 SP1 UR4

Trying to upgrade to VMM 2012 R2. As per http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn469607.aspx I try to uninstall VMM 2012 SP1 first. With no luck though.

Any solution?

Same problem here. Uninstalling SCVMM 2012 SP1 stops with error 1603 and CustomAction DisableWsmanCredSSP returned actual error code 1603 message in the log file. Did anyone fix this issue?

VMM 2012 sp1: unable to create a logical switch on team with different nics (bug?)

Hyper-V Host is HP Proliant G7 with 4 onboard nics and additional (different) 4-port adapter, all 1Gbit. Server 2012 with latest updates.
VMM 2012 is sp1 with latest updates, server 2012 running in a vm.
When I create a logical switch with teamed uplink port profile in VMM, the job builds the team but fails to create the vswitch when ports from both onboard nics and adapter is used.
I am able to create a vswitch manually on the team if I do it directly on the host.
If the team is created on either purely onboard nics or purely adapter nics, the logical switch creation succeeds.
In short terms: I am able to create a vswitch based on a server 2012 team with different nics, but not a logical switch. Why?

I have tried assigning both nics in one step, and one by one. When I create the logical switch team with only one nic it succeeds, but then fails when I add the second (unless it is similar to the first).
Error in VMM is
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the dkfuzhv01.mia.local server: : .
WinRM: URL: [http://dkfuzhv01.mia.local:5985], Verb: [GET], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/ErrorInfo?ID=1010]
Unknown error (0x80041001)
Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server dkfuzhv01.mia.local. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If dkfuzhv01.mia.local is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that
VMM agent is installed and running.
If I add the second non-similar team member from the host itself, I get this error from nic teaming wizard
Validation failed and changes to the system are rolled back
It is not a question of losing connection (been there), management interface is on a different team. And it also fails when second team member is added directly on the host...
So far I will stick to the conclusion that my problem is with logical switch and different nics :)
Oh, by the way nics are HP NC382i (Broadcom) and NC365T (Intel)

Issue while Upgrading vmm 2012 sp1 to vmm 2012 R2

Hi,
We are trying to upgrade the vmm setup to 2012 r2 ,we retained the existing vmm database
While upgrading to vmm 2012 r2 , got the below warning message:
"The VMM database contains one or more services in a failed state. Upgrading to VMM in System Center 2012 R2 is not recommended. Retry the upgrade after you have reinstalled VMM for System Center 2012 SP1 and repaired or removed these services. Click
Cancel to exit the upgrade."
Tried to find the bug using the vmm logs file like
errlevel
setupwizard
vmmserver
In erlevel log, the entry was "0".
Any idea what the issue is????

1. You just need CU3 - these are cumulative
2. Sure, you can take a temporary snapshot. You need to take a SQL backup also.
3. Don't forget to test the upgrade process on a copy of your site database (use /testdbupgrade)
This guide may help you

DPM 2012 SP1 long term backup fails when protected server reboots

Hi,
we're using DPM 2012 SP1 with Short-term and long-term protection.
We use a daily short-term backup to disk and a weekly long-term to tape.
We are noticing that when a long-term tape backup is running, it fails when we reboot one of the protected servers.
Is anyone else having this issue ? I assumed the long-term tape backup will be created from a disk-recovery point.

Hi,
What is the detailed error code in the properties of the failed initial replica or consistency check job ?

Muse crashes randomly when using the place file/image function. And is slow!

Hi guys,
I am using a MacBook Pro Retina i7 with 8GB ram. I installed the trail version of Adobe Muse and I am really liking the product so far, except that it crashes a lot, randomly, when I sometimes use the place file or place image function. (Command-D) Muse is also slow. I have little apps running, plenty of free space etc but Muse is sluggish, lags and crashes a lot.
Is there a known reason for this? This is preventing me from considering to buy the program.
Please help,
Regards,
Riaan

Thank you for that.
I will give it a try. Two things I noticed, I do have column view on, but sorted by type and then secondly I am placing images from my Google Drive and DropBox folder..
Will report back once I have had a chance to test it again.

Uninstalling VMM 2012 SP1 can cause any Network or Shared Storage Issues?

Hello There,
I'm studying for the 70-409 Exam and also planning to reinstall the VMM 2012 on my company, since it was created a long time ago and somehow the old administrator created the environment in a way that only he could understand.
After looking online and don't find any answers, I decided to create this thread to see if anyone can help me. My questions are:
1 - If I Uninstall the VMM, my Hosts will loose any network configuration? I already checked and I am not using any Logical Switches in the current configuration, and only have some Logical Networks created. Removing the VMM can cause any network issues
on the physical hosts or in the VMs under it?
2 - Is there a guid somewhere about the Uninstall process? It could be in a book, there is no problem in buying it, but i really cannot find it anywhere.
Thanks!

Hello Ed,
So, it will cause some disruption, but the VM's and the Hyper-V Hosts will be disconnected from the Network or it will be a "temporary" disruption?
I Will try to explain better my concern: The VMM, as it is on my company, is useless. I really need to rebuild the entire Farm from the Scrath, document the project and start to use the VMM software. We are starting to use a lot of Hyper-V Vms and it's very
hard to keep using the Hyper-V Manager.
I dont have Logical Switches in place, neither IP Address Pool published. I got some Logical Networks and VM Networks in place, but my Logical Networks are empty, with no IP Address and Sites/VLAN associated.
I Also don't have any Storages Published on the Fabric. If I remove my VMM server, i will change something on the Vswitches of the Physical Servers? Which will be the best plan to reinstall my Hyper-V Farm?
Thank you!

Firefox crashed randomly when loading a youtube video, and after restarting firefox no flash programs would work on the browser

I was watching a youtube video.
Firefox crashes randomly.
Restart Firefox
Youtube videos don't load.
Other websites that uses flash don't load.
Tried upgrading to a newer flash, though 11.3 causes huge CPU usage for some reason so I upgraded to 11.2
Videos still do not load.

Hi,
You can try to [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html uninstall] and install Flash again.

Error 2927 when refreshing host cluster

We are running SCVMM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012 and it manages a 4 node 2012 Hyper-V cluster. I am receiving the following error when the job "Refresh host cluster" runs:
Error (2927)
A Hardware Management error has occurred trying to contact server Virtualsrv9.xxxxx.xxx :w:InternalError :HRESULT 0x803381e8:The WS-Management service cannot process the request. This service has exceeded its maximum of 100 concurrent operations per user allowed
for plugin "WMI Provider". Retry the request later or raise the Maximum Operations per User quota. .
WinRM: URL: [http://virtualsrv9.xxxxx.xxx:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetVersion], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/AgentManagement]
Unknown error (0x803381e8)
This error never showed up before I upgraded to SCVMM 2012 R2, however it had been refreshing the host cluster just fine for a while after the upgrade, then it started to occur sporadically. I have been able to fix it when it shows up by restarting
the Windows Remote Management Service on the cluster nodes which automatically restarts the VMM agent service also.Why is this happening?

I was able to fix this issue by running the following command from an administrator command prompt on my hyper-v nodes and VMM server. I then restarted WinRM on all the servers and VMM was still cranky so I rebooted the VMM server and it has been working
since then. Hopefully it continues as it has only been a couple days.
winrm set winrm/config/Service @{MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser="400"}
I have exactely the same issue. When I looked the winrm parameters of all the servers, the MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser has already been set to "1500"

VMM 2012 sp1 keeps on crashing randomly when refresh hosts or VMs
