Morning everyone,

I'm using SCVMM 2012 v3.0.6019.0 and having problems removing some of the clouds that were automatically created for the self-service users.  These unnecessary clouds no longer have any services/vms/storage/resources assigned to them, and all user roles/owners have also been removed.  But when I try to delete the clouds (VMs and Services -> Right-click on cloud -> Delete) nothing happens.  The job is created, and says it ran successfully in 0 seconds, but there's no result name on the summary tab and no information under the Property / Previous Value / New Value table.

I've tried reassigning owners and creating VMs then deleting them, as well as using remove-sccloud in PS, but I have the same (no) result using PowerShell also.  Has anyone run in to this and know of a way to forcefully remove them?

Thanks in advance,

David

Hi.

I have 5 node Hyper V high availability cluster all with windows server 2008 R2 SP1 with followin total and free memory.

Node 1: 64 GB ( 58 GB available)

Node 2: 64 GB ( 8 GB available)

Node 3: 48 GB ( 13 GB available)

Node 4: 48 GB ( 17 GB available)

Node 5: 64 GB ( 31 GB available)

I am facing problem with SCVMM. It is not allowing me to use "start maintence mode" option on any of the node as this option remains grey. I have also reinstalled VMM and restarted all the nodes one by one but it didn't help.

All,

  Would appreciate some adviceon an issue I am having.

  I have TWO SCVMM 2012 environments. 

   The first is where is 2012 with no service pack vmm box is a 2008 R2.  This environment started life as a vmm 2008 R2 and was upgraded to 2012.  It has 4 stand alone hosts and 2 2-node clusters.  All is funtioning well.

  I built the second vmm environment after SP1 was released.  I had been wanting to replace the vmm box with new hardware and since SP1 requires 2012 server, I took the opportunity to do it.

  Here's my problem:  I am moving the hosts from the old to the new environment.  (I am doing it from the new box).  Everything seems to go well during the transfer (I see the tick box to reassociate the host with the new environment) but then it bombs because the agent needs to be updated.  SO......Do I update the agent manually, OR do I first boot (remove) the host from the old environment (will doing that remove the agent?) , then join it to the new one????  I see the update agent console icons in both environments, unfortunatley the are grey-out in both as well.  Advice appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I intend to try HyperV over SMB share and use VMM 2012 SP1 RTM to try Live Migration.

I have a two node Failover Cluster with HyperV installed - ServerB and ServerC. On ServerA i have created SMB (Application) share and have placed a few VHD files.

I then add the share to the Library Server in VMM and it works fine.

I am able to create a VM with the VHD in the share on ServerB using HyperV Manager. However when i look at SC VMM SP1 RTM, i see the following error - 

Error (13932)

The file \\hvhost1\share\SERVER\BlueVM.vhdx is in a share which is not registered to the cluster hypervCluster.matrix.com.

Recommended Action
Register the share to the cluster, and then try the operation again.

Can someone tell me how to create a VM on SMB share using VMM.

Hi

right... please see attached screenshot for my problem..

As you can see... the windows is the usual size, but the server VM it is displaying is not showing as it should.. something has gone wrong with the display settings..

The only resolution I've found, is to restart the server.. which isn't really an option with this server... it will cause quite a lot of problems....

What can I do to fix this?

I've tried the obvious stuff like dragging the window to increase the size etc... stuff like that..

but it must be something on the server since it fixes it self when I reboot an affected server...

Has anyone else seen this?

and what can I do to fix it :)

Hello,

I am working on a SCVM 2012 SP1 - add-in.

I tried doing the same as mentioned in this SCVMM 2012 SP1 Add-in topic - "Open a Web Browser from the Ribbon", just only the manifest.xml with ConsoleAddIn and a ActionAddIn with ActionType="URL" and ActionParam="google page" .. I zipped them to the same folder name as set in manifest, but when I try to import this add-in using wizard, it crashed my console every time i tried importing it.

Sample code as below -

<ConsoleAddIn 
  xmlns="urn:VMM-AddIns-v1-CTP" 
  Name="VMM View Add-In Examples"
  Version="1.0.0.0"
  Author="Microsoft Corporation"
  Description="A collection of View Add-in examples."
  FolderName="ViewAddInExamples"
  TrustLevel="Full">
 <ActionAddIn
  Name="Web browser"
  Icon="VMStateSaved.ico" 
  Contexts="VM"
  ShowInContextMenu=True
  ActionType="URL"
  ActionParam="http://www.google.com/">
  <ButtonLabel>
Browser
  </ButtonLabel>
 </ActionAddIn>
 <ActionAddIn 
    Name="External Application" 
    Icon="VMStateSaved.ico" 
    Contexts="AllHomeTabs"
    ActionType="Application"
ActionParam="C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe">
    <ButtonLabel>
      My calculator
    </ButtonLabel>
  </ActionAddIn>
</ConsoleAddIn>

Does anyone see wrong in the syntax or anything? I tried Context value with "VM" and "AllHomeTabs" with no luck.

So I added a ViewAddin and override CreateViewControl() to open a webbrowser instance and set url to navigate and return this frameworkElement. This is what is available in sample code. With this I was able to import console add-in successfully and launch browser.

But I would like to know if method  in the afore mentioned topic actually works or not and if i works then what is possible way to fix my crash issue?

Tracelogs show a inner exception - "Object reference not set to an instnace of an object"

Also tried to import same zip file into another SCVMM 2012 SP1 set-up with same result - console crashes there as well.

Since this feature is quite new and could not find much information on forums as well.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paras

This is being on a Win 2008r2 host, running as DC (hyperV enabled). On attempts to add the HOST this process fails on setp 1.2 [Install Virtual Machine Manager Agent] with the below error.

The agent & SCVMMService services are running.

Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact an agent on the WinServ.ServDomain.com server: NO_PARAM: NO_PARAM. Cannot perform this operation on built-in accounts (0x8007055B)

Recommended Action
Ensure the agent is installed and running. Ensure the WS-Management service is installed and running, then restart the agent.

I am testing VMM 2012.   Only have it set up on 4 hosts right now.  All are on the same subnet in the same location.

1 of the virtual hosts is Server 2012 (Let's call it 2012_1).   The others are 2008 R2 (2008_1, 2008_2, 2008_3).

When trying to migrate VMs that are powered off, 2008_1 and 2008_2 can migrate to each other, but not to the other two servers.   The rating for the other two servers says "No available connection to selected VM Network can be found."

2008_3 can migrate to ALL the other servers.

2012_1 of course can't migrate to any of the others because it is a newer version.

So why can't the first two servers migrate VMs to the other two?  OS-wise, they shouldn't be any different from 2008_3.   2008_3 is a newer install, but that shouldn't make a difference.

Any thoughts?

During Bare Metal Deployment (SCVMM 2012 deploying W2012 VHD), I encountered the following error.  When the issue was encountered, Shift+F10 allowed me to recovervmmAgentPE.exe.log and test ping dwpu-scvmm which resolved the server name fine and got ping responses without any issues.  However, ping using FQDN failed.

On the VMM server side, I checked 1) VMM server and agent services are running, 2) Port 8103 is in listening state, and 3) firewall is off (just to rule out f/w issue).  However, the issue still persists.

I went through the VMM and event logs but I could not locate anything relevant to the issue.  Could someone please shed some lights on how to approach this issue or what other pointers I can look at? 

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I am attempting to use VMM 2012 RC to allow users to create new VMs from a template with a blank disk, and then install an OS from an ISO.  The problem I am experiencing is that every time a go to mount an ISO stored in my library on the deployed VM, VMM copies the ISO to the VM's folders.  If I check the "Share instead of copy" option, I get the error below.  This is a problem because I do not want to waste disk space with a copy of the ISO for each copy of the template this is deployed.  

VMM cannot link to this ISO because it is not a standalone ISO stored in a library.

Store the ISO image in the library or link to an ISO image in the library, and then try the operation again.

ID: 824 

I have followed the instructions here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee340124.aspx to share an ISO from a VMM library with my hyper-v hosts, but the issue persists.  

Is there a feature of VMM that I am missing which would allow me to only have a single copy of the ISO file? What constitutes a "standalone" ISO in a library?

Thanks in advance!

More information:

To clarify, I CAN mount an ISO over the share path from Hyper-v and from VMM, but not the Self-Service Portal.  However, when I mount the shared ISO with either working method, VMM puts the VM in a failed "Unsupported VM Configuration" state after a refresh, so I cannot boot it or connect to it in the Self-Service Portal or VMM.  On hyper-v, I can use the mounted ISO just fine.  

This may be a bug in the VMM 2012 RC.

Installed SCVMM CU 4 on our VMM server and pushed out the agents to our hosts, now agent version 3.0.6055.0. Our cluster is now showing (pending) on all the hosts. Refreshing the cluster gives us an error

Warning (441)
Agent communication is blocked. On (host), the version of virtualization software or the VMM agent is unsupported.

Recommended Action
Update the agent and virtualization software and then try the operation again.

Isn't 3.0.6055.0 the latest version?

Well, I've been fighting this issue forever now and figurd I'd see if anyone has any ideas. 1 out of 3 hosts appear to actaully be working in SCVMM. Below is the error I get when refreshing the other hosts that state 'Need Attention'. Notice the 'Unknown Error' comes up with virtually NOTHING when I google search. I've tried just about EVERYTHING that people are suggesting for these errors. Nothing has worked and I'm at a lose of more things to try. Any insight?

I would like to know if there is a GUI for the powershell module in VMM?  I stopped using bare bones powershell or even the Powershell ISE long ago in favor of Power GUI.  I was hoping to find something similar to work with the VMM PowerShell cmdlets?

Thanks!

We are in the process of migrating from ESX 4.0 to Hyper-V 2012 and are currently evaluating System Center Virtual Machine Manager to both help with the migration and to potentially help with the management once the migration is complete.  I have read the licensing FAQs and items, but am still unable to completely wrap my head around what needs to be licensed.   It looks like I cannot buy VMM separately, though it is the only piece we have any interest in

Our environment will end up being 4 Hyper-V hosts with a TBD number of VMs (assume 100 and growing for now).  We only would plan on 1 SCVMM server for management.  What do I need to purchase as far as licensing? 

Thanks

Hi,

We have 3 servers and 1 works fine. All are joined in AD.

Since upgrade from RC1 to SP1 B1 I cant manage 2 of the servers. We have also tried this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/virtualmachingmgrhyperv/thread/4bd9be4b-0ff9-46f3-bf32-1b7c1245c494 without any improvement.

The error we get is -

"VMM does not have appropriate permissions to access the resource C:\Windows\system32\vmms.exe on the mshost2.hv1.local server.

Ensure that Virtual Machine Manager has the appropriate rights to perform this action.

Any help would be appreciated

We're running SCVMM 2012 SP1 with CU1 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1. A handful of our hosts are showing this error

Error (20513)
The VMM management server cannot retrieve performance data for the computer VHOST1.mydomain.com. This issue may occur if the performance counter provider in the Virtual Machine Manager agent is corrupted.

Recommended Action
Restart the System Center Virtual Machine Manager Agent service on the computer NetVHB001.net.da.ocgov.com. This automatically restarts the performance provider. If the error persists, reinstall the VMM agent on the computer VHOST1.mydomain.com.

I've restarted the VMM service and uninstalled / reinstalled the Agent. Still seeing the errors. Is there another fix for this that someone has been successful with?

"Error (13921)
The highly available virtual machine ********* is not supported by VMM because one or more of its network adapters is not configured correctly.

Recommended Action
Ensure that all of the virtual network adapters are either disconnected or connected to highly available virtual networks."

I have used some suggestions like the blog here  , Forum sessions hereand here ,but i found the vlan settings and vm network names are the same.

my vm cluster configuration was like the picture below, i do not know whether Scvmm 2012 sp1 rollupdate support such configurations.

Hi all

I have a problem with the SCVMM 2012 console. When I start the console I select the "Specify credentials" option and then I enter my admin credentials. Afterward the console opens and everything works except the "Connect via Console" function.

When I try to connect to a VM I get the following message:
Virtual Machine Manager lost the connection to the virtual machine for one of the following reasons: Another connection was established to the console of this machine. The virtual machine has been shut down or put into the saved state. The user credentials provided do not have the necessary privilege to connect (0x0003, 0x0300)

It seems that the Virtual Machine Viewer runs not under the admin credentials which I enter at the beginning and therefore the console cannot connect.

Has someone the same issue ? Is it by design that the console connection does not work with specified credentials or is a sort of a bug or error ?

Thx
