Good Morning!
As the final part of my apprenticeship, the final project, I try to assimilate VMM in my company. The software is installed on a fresh Win2012 VM-Server (SCVMM 2016 as well as SQL). It will be used practically (!) and I already tried to add hosts after the installation worked.
The clusters I should add are constantly running and host the whole infrastructure like AD etc...
After several installation problems I solved the installation with success and was in an upbeat mood to complete the project in a few little hours, but now I stuck at the adding process.
Everytime I try to add hosts and cluster I get the error 2944: "vmm is unable to complete the requested operation because the server name could not be resolved."
The cluster and hosts are added, but the hosts are still pending and not accessible. Strangly the VMM agent is installed and working on.
So first of all I check the name resolving and accessibility in both directions. The SCVMM Server and the hosts know each other, I can ping them and the name resolving works. So I double-checked that the SCVMM is registered to the DNS and it is.
On my next step I get sure that the SPN is registered, cause I didnt install the VMM with a domain admin account, so I followed the steps Microsoft suggest, but it didnt change a thing.
Finally I got to the idea IPv6 is not enabled. So I ask my minder and he told me that they disabled IPv6 cause there were problems with several software in use.
Is it a remote possibility SCVMM needs IPv6 to run properly? If yes, is there a opportunity to disable the use of IPv6 and just using IPv4? Or am I of the track with my thoughts and you got any other idea whats the problem is here?
I apologize for my bad english. It is a foreign language for me :-)
