Vmware esx 4 to hyper-v 2012 e2

Hi,
We need to do a convert from Vmware esx 4.0 which is managed by vsphere 4.1 to hyper 2012 R2 Cluster
I did look at SCVMM but 2012 does not support hyper-v 2012 R2 I believe
SCVMM 2012 sp1 Does not support vmware esx 4.0 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/gg697603.aspx)
What are the options available here as we just need to do a virtual to virtual migration but google did not help.

Hi,
The MVMC Supports conversion of virtual machines from VMware vSphere 5.5, VMware vSphere 5.1, and VMware vSphere 4.1 hosts Hyper-V virtual machines.
You can get the detail information at the download website(you can expand the Details).
Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 2.0

Errors Performing V2V Conversions from ESX 5.5 to Hyper-V 2012 R2 using SCVMM 2012 R2

I've successfully added my vSphere server and 2 ESXi 5.5 hosts to my SCVMM 2012 R2 server.
I have also added my 2 Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts as well.
When I attempt to do a V2V conversion of a VM from 1 of my ESX hosts to Hyper-V, I receive - "Error (2901) The operation did not complete successfully because of a parameter or call sequence that is not valid. The parameter is incorrect."
When I go into the details of the job in VMM it shows "1.4 Convert VMDK to virtual hard disk - Failed" and "1.4.1 Deploy file (using HTTP) - Failed"
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
Also, I can do V2V conversions using the same ESX and Hyper-V hosts without any issues using Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 2.0, but my manager wants me to use VMM.
Thanks!

Quite honestly, building fresh on the platform and migrating the apps / services is always the best way to go
PlateSpin was the last product I knew that had a Linux conversion utility. Even found this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/enterprise_admin/archive/2010/04/26/hyper-v-linux-p2v-with-platespin.aspx
No idea the current status of PlateSpin. They were the gold standard back in 2008.
But honestly, it can be painful. It all depends on the hardware now.
With Hyper-V the end boot device is IDE - so if the machine now runs on SCSI, the boot loader pointers need to be modified (if you can find a tool to bring the disk forward).
Now, that said. Hyper-V can convert a physical disk to VHD. That is a stealth feature that has been there from the beginning. I can't recall if it is block by block, or if the file system must be known for the copy to succeed.
You mount the disk on the Hyper-V Server and create a new VHD from a physical disk.
The biggest issue with the conversion utilities is that Windows does not know the Linux file systems. So you need some Linux tool to do it.
I know that VMware had a converter that handled Linux - but again, you have to manually fixup the hardware in the boot menu.

SLES 10 (SP3) on Hyper-V 2012 R2

I do realize that is unsupported (only SP4 supposedly is)
But I have SLES 10 (SP3) image that got converted from vSphere
Once I can boot the IDE disk (by editing menu.lst to /hda1 & uninstall Vmware Tools, I would need to get network connectivity, so logical step would be to use Intergration Services 2.1 (one that supports SLES 10 SP3)
But it is a no go. On make install during load of vmbus the whole VM just hangs & dies
http://imageshack.com/a/img545/7339/16u1.jpg
The initrd never even gets created as it dies & reset is the only option
If I rem-out vmbus start in Makefile then I can get new kernel installed, but restulting kernel will panic on VM boot
Anybody has any clever idea how to get it working (if at all possible)
Seb

Getting this to work is going to be difficult. The older LIS 2.1 does not work with Hyper-V 2012 and 2012 R2 due to changes in Hyper-V itself. But you could probably get SLES 10 SP3 with LIS 2.1 working if you went back to the older Hyper-V
2008 R2.
You are correct that the LIS 3.4 package is created only for the Red Hat (and CentOS) distros. It will not work with SLES releases.
We've gotten occasional requests to get SLES 10 working on Hyper-V 2012 and 2012 R2, and we're in conversations with SUSE about creating a combination that works. But we don't have anything to announce about a timeline. When/if we get something
working, it will most likely be SLES 10 SP4, since that's the most up-to-date version from the SLES 10 series.

Hyper-v 2012 R2 server core recommendations for single server setup

Hi All,
Next weekend I will be installing a brand new Dell 720 server for a client of mine.
I would like to hear some recommendations on how to install this hypervisor.
Let me state that I have had some experience with virtualization technology in the past with VMWARE ESXi.
This is a small client with under 10 users but I have learned that with the 2012 product offering you cannot get Small Business Server any more. I know Microsoft has Windows server 2012 Essentials but you would have to have Exchange server in the cloud which
my client does not want. He wants to run his Exchange server in house.
Also he needs Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server) because his accounting application requires it.
He has an existing Windows 2003 domain controller that eventually has to be decommissioned because it is too old and slow.
So I thought I install Hyper-v 2012 R2 core on the new server and then create 2 VMs:
1) Windows 2012 STD to run as a secondary domain controller.
2) Windows 2012 STD member server with Exchange server 2013 and Remote Desktop Services role.
My questions here are these:
1) Do I install the Hypervisor in workgroup or domain mode?
2) When I am finished with the old server do I transfer the AD FSMO roles onto the VM that is acting as a domain controller?
The new server has 2 CPUs. How does Microsoft licensing go here? I know that Windows 2012 STD gives me 2 instances with the same product key on the same server for 1 CPU. What happens if you have 2?
Can someone give me some insight on how to go about this? I remember that I found this easier with VMWARE Esxi.
Now with Hyper-V I need to also get a management workstation with Windows 8 professional on it to manage the Hyper-V core server.
Thanks and regards
Alfred

In regard to the VM's:
1.) DC: If you're going to be installing a second domain controller that is 2012 R2, you might consider reading this guide first.
http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2012/07/30/upgrading-an-active-directory-domain-from-windows-server-2003-or-windows-server-2003-r2-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
2.) Exchange: Here's the guide for installing Exchange 2013 on Server 2012. I don't believe R2 is supported yet for 2013.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14506.how-to-install-exchange-2013-on-windows-server-2012.aspx
3.) Host: You'd install the host in domain mode....but that point may be moot after you read #5.
4.) FSMO: I would verify the health of the 2012 DC before moving the roles. All too often I'll see a new DC get stood up, sysvol won't be published, the engineer will be in a rush to move the FSMO's, and things get a little sideways. Ultimately
you don't HAVE to move the FSMO's until you are ready to decommission the 2003 box.
5.) Licensing: No licensing rights convey with Hyper-V Core, so this may not be best for your scenario. See the queen mother of all Hyper-V licensing posts here -
http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=13090
For what it's worth, plenty of SMB's are going to Office 365 to avoid the on-prem administration headache, but your client wants what your client wants. Sorry if this isn't the news you wanted but I hope it helps.

Nexus 1000v, VMWare ESX and Microsoft SC VMM

Hi,
Im curious if anybody has worked up any solutions managing network infrastructure for VMWare ESX hosts/vms with the Nexus 1000v and Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
There currently exists support for the 1000v and ESX and SCVMM using the Cisco 1000v software for MS Hyper-V and SCVMM. There is no suck support for VMWare ESX.
Im curious as to what others with VMWare, Nexus 1000v or equivalent and SCVMM have done to work around this issue.
Trying to get some ideas.
Thanks

Aaron,
The steps you have above are correct, you will need steps 1 - 4 to get it working correctly. Normally people will create a separate VLAN for their NLB interfaces/subnet, to prevent uncessisary flooding of mcast frames within the network.
To answer your questions
1) I've seen multiple customer run this configuration
2) The steps you have are correct
3) You can't enable/disable IGMP snooping on UCS. It's enabled by default and not a configurable option. There's no need to change anything within UCS in regards to MS NLB with the procedure above. FYI - the ability to disable/enable IGMP snooping on UCS is slated for an upcoming release 2.1.
This is the correct method untill the time we have the option of configuring static multicast mac entries on
the Nexus 1000v. If this is a feature you'd like, please open a TAC case and request for bug CSCtb93725 to be linked to your SR.
This will give more "push" to our develpment team to prioritize this request.
Hopefully some other customers can share their experience.
Regards,
Robert

Monitoring Hyper-V 2012 R2 - Performance Data/Graphs Equivalent to XenCenter/vSphere Client

Hello,
We've just moved away from Xenserver (hooray!) to Hyper-v 2012 R2, but I must admit the best thing about xenserver was xencenter. The ability to see the real time performance of a VM and see its network utlisation/CPU/Memory was very very useful. Also the
same for VMWare vsphere client.
Although Hyper-V 2012 R2 is a lot better than xenserver the realtime monitoring of VM's is awful!
We have SCVMM but that doesn't give you much either, only average CPU data..and only when it decides it will show the graph!
I've tried a few free tools, VMTurbo, Solarwinds VM Monitor (free - which doesn't support 2012 R2) plus some others...but none give us what we want.
I've seen all these other posts about monitoring reports etc which are all good and well but when you need real-time data how are people getting this? We don't want OM as we cannot afford it nor do we want the excess of managing it (not even sure if this
would give us what we want).
Can anyone give me ideas of what they are using for this or what products, I feel MS have messed up a bit here, if they had these features in Hyper-v Manager/Failover Cluster Manager then it would be on a par with VMWare for sure.
Many thanks
Matt

Update:
I've got a trail license of SCOM and installed it and connected to SCVMM (eventually...what a pain having to install extra packages etc!! good stuff MS! You'd think as SCVMM is part of the System Center family it would be easy to connect to SCOM)
I also got the free version of VeamOne as suggested by Leonardo.
SCOM is too complicated and requires far too much configuration just to get simple monitoring from Hyper-V and I really can't believe you need all this extra software just to get performance graphs from Hyper-V/VM's. Really don't want to install extra agents
on the hosts etc goes against Hyper-V best practice about keeping the servers light. Plus even trying to get simple data out of SCOM is tiresome.
VeamOne on the other hand...for a free product does exactly what SCVMM 'should' be doing.
Plus very useful extra info/alert that SCVMM doesn't even show up which I wasn't aware of, SCOM probably would show these alerts after you've spent days and days trying to figure out how to configure it and reading loads of articles.
So unless there is some hidden gem in SCVMM then it needs to be improved greatly on the monitoring side to fully compare with VMWare I believe as the idea of having to setup/configure SCOM just for monitoring is ridiculous.
I'm going to stick with VeamOne for now as its simple, gives me the info I require.

V2V from ESX to Hyper-V fails

I am unable to successfully migrate a VM from ESX (5.1) to a Hyper-V 2012 R2 host via SCVMM 2012 R2
If I copy the .vmdk and its files over to the SCVMM library server I am able to successfully convert it. So that is my workaround for now.
Here is the error I get everytime. It always seems to get at least 50% of the way through the Virtual-to-Virtual conversion step but then fails
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the myrdshost.local server: : .
WinRM: URL: [http://myrdshost:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetProgress], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/HttpPostDeploymentJob?InstanceID=https://myesxhost:443//folder/SIE-WEBI-02/SIE-WEBI-02.vmdkA3fdsName=PS-DATASTORE4/D:A5chyper-vA5cvmA5cSIE-WEBI-02A5cSIE-WEBI-02.vhd/]
Unknown error (0x80072f78)
Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server myrdshost. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If
myrdshost is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed and running. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.

I am having the exact same issue. I have tried different versions of ESXi from a base image to a fully updated. I have also played around with NIC type(1G/10G) and MTU. The only thing I haven't tried was putting the Hyper-v hosts and ESXi
hosts on the same subnet, and that will be next, just to take the routing out of the mix, after that I will mess around with the 10G driver options. Copying them over and converting local isn't an option for me as some of my virtual disks are 1TB+. I
have about 300 VM's to move.. I am fully patched on the Host side as well as the VMM 2012 R2 side.
If I find out something I will let you know.

Prime LMS 4.1 and VMWARE ESX 5.0

Can Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 be deployed on VMware ESX server 5.0 or not ?

No LMS 4.1 is not supported on ESXi 5.0. LMS 4.1 supports the following Virtualization Systems:
•VMware ESX server 3.0.x
•VMware ESX Server 3.5.x
•VMWare ESX Server 4.0.x
•VMWare ESX Server 4.1
•VMWare ESXi Server 4.0
•VMware ESXi Server 4.1
•Hyper V Virtualization (As an installable in Windows 2008)
For more details check:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/install/guide/prereq.html#wp1119955
On a side note, though a OVF/OVA file may be an issue, but you can try to install LMS 4.1 on a virtualized Win/Sol guest OS host, where it should work mostly. But for any issues further, Cisco or TAC may refer to this as an unsupported installation, for any t/s or support.
Else, you may upgrade to LMS 4.2 which is supported on ESXi 5.0.

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.

LIve migration trigger on Resource crunch in Hyper-v 2012 or R2

Like VMware DRS , who can trigger Migration of virtual machine from 1 datastore to another or 1 host to another. do we have same kind of machanism in Hyper-v 2012 also.
i have five HYper-v 2012 host in single cluster. now i want if any host face resource crucnh of memory than it migrate the virtual machine on another host.
Thanks ravinder

SCVMM has a feature called Dynamic Optimization.
Dynamic Optimization can be configured on a host group, to migrate virtual machines within host clusters with a specified frequency and aggressiveness. Aggressiveness determines the amount of load imbalance that is required to initiate a migration during
Dynamic Optimization. By default, virtual machines are migrated every 10 minutes with medium aggressiveness. When configuring frequency and aggressiveness for Dynamic Optimization, an administrator should factor in the resource cost of additional migrations
against the advantages of balancing load among hosts in a host cluster. By default, a host group inherits Dynamic Optimization settings from its parent host group.
Dynamic Optimization can be set up for clusters with two or more nodes. If a host group contains stand-alone hosts or host clusters that do not support live migration, Dynamic Optimization is not performed on those hosts. Any hosts that are in maintenance
mode also are excluded from Dynamic Optimization. In addition, VMM only migrates highly available virtual machines that use shared storage. If a host cluster contains virtual machines that are not highly available, those virtual machines are not migrated during
Dynamic Optimization.

Cheers !
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Running OSD Capture on VMWare ESX 5.5

In SCCM 2012 r2, I create capture media (.iso). I then create a VM in VMWare ESX 5.5 and attempt to capture the OS (server 2012 r2) After rebooting into WinPE the process fails with an error
"Failed to find the configuration path"
Running IPConfig from the command prompt in WinPE produces nothing, so I assume the network drivers are an issue. The VM initially had a VMNet3 nic which I read might have driver issues, so we removed that nic and added the intel 1000E nic (only other
choice I believe) and that failed as well.
We then found the VMNet3 driver in the VMWare Tools ISO, imported those into SCCM, added those to the boot image and created new capture media with that boot image. STILL ipconfig returns nothing and we get the same failure (during hardware initialization
after rebooting into winPE the error pops up.
Here are the logs from the VM
SMSTS - convertBootTologicalPath failed 0x8007003 (partition(2)) - does this 29 times and then fails says giving up and then says Failed to find the configuration path
Setupapi.offline.log - Unable to unload hive key … loaded by another process
Any ideas?

What NIC is the ESXi using? VMNet3 or Intel 1000E?
Is there DHCP in place so that the machine can actually get an address?
Why are you using capture media, why aren't you using standard build & capture method for creating your reference image?
You can obtain the correct drivers from the machine itself, if you just install VMware tools on it and use this tool:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ConfigMgr-Driver-Injector-aae7d17d to grab the corrected drivers for your boot image and for creating driver pack for ESXi 5.5

Hyper V 2012 network options

We are testing Hyper V 2012, and the networking options seem confusing.
I created a virtual external switch on the host, trunked vlans down to it from an upstream 3750, and created some VMs.
No problem there: the VMs were able to get outside, etc.
But what do the "private" and "internal" networks give me?
It is my understanding that neither private nor internal networks can communicate with subnets/networks outside the host(s)
I thought maybe I could use private networks and have the Hyper V 2012 host route the traffic out to the real world, apply security policies, etc.
Is this even possible? Or do the options simply isolate VMs? (and are therefore not any better of existing VMWare technology)

My understanding is that the private and internal networks are for networking specific to the hyper-v host. So you can create a private netwok that allows two VMs to communicate with each other but not the outside world.
There is no way to forward that traffic outside the hyper-v host.
We are working on N1KV for Hyper-v which will bring most of the NXOS feature set to Hyper-v. So PVLANs, ACLs, port-channels, QOS, etc...

How to tell what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, 207095

Hello Guys,
I have been running an old server that was installed as a test system on a DELL workstation - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).
During the installation I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:
"return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE" to read:
"return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI" this made it worked and I have been using it for 3 years now. However, at this time I was hoping to update it with the latest patches and updates and I cannot figure out if I have ESXi or just ESX, nor what was my last update and what is required next.
I have used this command to get the following output:
# vmware -v
VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095
... I believe the 3i indicates that I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but is build-207095 the same buid as ESXi 3.5.0 Update 5?
If not, how do I go about updating it? What is the KB # I should download?
I can manage it using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can SSH into it using Putty.
Note: When I run... "# esxupdate --bundle=ESXe350-201302401-I-SG.zip update" from within the folder where its at in the datastore, nothing happens... just a new line is scrolled.
Also...

... is there any further update for this system? I believe so as the Heartbleed patch etc. was not around when I was installing this server back in 2010.

Hello Richardson Porto,
I wanted to tell you that I appreciate the help so far.
Also wanted to point out to you, that the KB indicated above is older than Update 5, which from your instructions is what I have installed. That KB is for U2.
Now, the document definitely has step by step instructions on installing, querying etc. But my problem is ... NOT ALL COMMANDS WORK FOR ME!
This is why I am here because all the instructions I have been reading does not work with my flavor of ESX 3.5.0, 207095... WHY? It has me stumped.
For example, here are some commands the doc asked me to do and they failed: (Note that I had to unzip the folder on my windows box and upload it to /tmp using vSphere Client)

I am going to start a new discussion with this NEW ISSUE, since the Heading of this DISCUSSION has already been SOLVED! Thanks again!

How do I turn off Hyper-V 2012 server sleep mode?

Just installed Hyper-V 2012 server on a HP ML360 G8. Also installed Corefig 1.1.1. It seems after about 10 minutes if idle time the monitor goes black and the unit goes into sleep or hibernation. I have used powercfg to set it to the High Performance
power scheme and set screensaver to none in Corefig.
When the monitor goes black, if I move the mouse the sconfig screen, corefig, etc windows do not show until I run the mouse over them. Even then the windows do not 'repaint' until I run the mouse over the whole window or make some kind of key stroke in each
window.
Worried what this will do to my VMs once I start building them and would like to see the screen at all times. This is the first 2012 box and I have never had this issue with any of the Core 2008 products.
Thanks

Hi,
“I can't locate the GUI you show, it's Hyper-V 2012 Server,so i can't edit the settings.
Sems like it may be the monitor itself is going to sleep”
The other possible is you don’t have the administrator rights, or your server has got the Power Management, after you configuration the power option, the GPO refresh then
the old configuration be covered. Please refer the following article to confirm that:

Can I assign several physical storage locations for each virtual machine when using the replication-feature from Hyper-V 2012 R2?

Hi everyone,
I have 2x physical servers running Hyper-V 2012 R2. Each hosts several virtual machines. The VHDs of the VMs are stored on several dedicated physical disks to have a performance boost. For exampe if VM A has two VHDs attached I made sure that the VHDs are
on different physical disks to have them not slow-down each other in case of intensive disk accesses.
So far so good. I was looking forward to the replication-feature. The idea is to have the two physical servers have their primary running VMs being replicated to the other physical server and vice-versa. I was hoping to have the chance to choose for each
individual VM where the replicated VHD will be stored. But instead I can only see the one location/path which is configured in Hyper-V Manager when I activate the replication-feature on the server.
Is there by any chance a way how to select the storage location for each VHD/VM if using the replication-feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Secondly, you could replicate different VMs to different storage locations to perform some of the disk balancing you are trying to perform. Lastly, you could copy the vhd file to a different location
before starting the VM.

Hi Tim,
thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I had some other tasks to take care of, so I wasn't paying enough attention to this thread.
The part I quoted from your reply sounds exactly like the action I'd like to perform, but as you pointed out before this should not be possible.
How can I perform the action (replicating each VM to a storage location) as you mentioned secondly? To sum it up again:
2x physical machines carrying severel HDDs
8+ VMs spread to run on the 2x servers
when setting up replication I can only set the storage-location from server A on B and vice versa B on A
Thanks again for your reply.
Cheers,
Sebastian
