Add EMC Storage Device using SMI-S Provider in VMM 2012 R2

0
0

Hi

I have EMC NAS box (SMI-S Provider). Now I have to add these storage devices into my VMM setup. Can you please confirm "do i have to configure EMC storage with the machine where SMI-S provider is installed and then we can discover" or "can we directly discover the storage devices using EMC box IP Address"

Please provide the helpful information if possible.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cannot Live Migrate VM - Error 2903

0
0

Trying to migrate using scvmm between two clusters. It fails with the below error. If I look on the destination server, within the C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1 it has created multiple empty folders for this server, named server01-1, server01-2 etc etc all the way up server01-15. I cannot delete these folders using normal windows explorer as theyre locked.

any clues what might cause this behaviour ? thanks

Error (2903)
VMM could not locate the specified file/folder C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\server01 on the host.net.com server. This file/folder might be required as part of another object.
The system cannot find the file specified (0x80070002)

Recommended Action
Ensure that you have specified a valid path parameter, and that all necessary files/folders are present. Try the operation again.

Removed Host from VMM. Still tries to Refresh Performance Data

0
0

We recently added a host to our VMM 2012 R2-environment. It was a stand-alone Windows 2008 R2 Server running Hyper-V with only one VM on it. After we migrated the last Virtual Machine to one of the hosts in our 2012 R2 cluster we removed the server from the VMM-console via the Delete option.

All is good and well and everyting works as expected, except for the fact that we get error messages from failed jobs when our VMM tries to Refresh Performance Data for the removed server.

Error (401)

Virtual machine host 5d0ceb69-6e2d-40ed-b4f8-ddf68d466199 is not associated with this VMM management server.

Recommended Action
Check the virtual machine host name and then try the operation again.

The GUID above is from the server that no longer exists in our environment and in the Job History we can see the actual server name for the old server under "Result Name". We can't find anytyhing in the GUI that still refers to that server or GUID though. How do we make it so that VMM stops trying to refresh performance data for this server?

Thanks in advance

VMM 2012 R2 errors with offline WSUS

0
0

Current Situation:

I currently have a setup with SCVMM 2012 R2 and multiple Hyper-V hosts (2012 R2). I have a WSUS server up and running and connected to VMM and have created baseline etc and it works ok.

The WSUS server is offline (not connected to the internet) and I manually copy metadata and updates. This works ok and the other servers using this WSUS are receiving the latest updates with no problems.

The Problem:

When I go to create a new baseline to include the new updates they are not shown for selection. The only updates available are the ones from when the WSUS server was first added. When I select syncronise this fails as the WSUS server is trying to connect to the internet to update! VMM does not seem to see the latest WSUS catalog.

Is this something simple or an oversight with the WSUS configuration?

Connecting to SCVMM remotely via install on workstation cannot run console windows to VMs (locally on scvmm it works)

0
0

We recently installed a SCVMM 2012 machine and connected it to a few HyperV2012 hosts.

From the SCVMM console locally on the machine it is installed on, I can connect to the Console of the VMs on the remote HyperV machines.  However for some reason when I run it remotely from my workstation, I can connect to SCVMM just fine, but connecting to the console of the VMs gives me the error:

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 manchine.
The virtual machine has been shut down or put into the saved state.
The user credentials do not have the necessary privilege to connect.
0x0003, 0x0000


The firewall is not detecting any dropped packets (I enabled logging) and I am logging in with the same user as I do locally to the SCVMM server, so it is not permissions.

Any advice would be extremely helpful.  Thanks,

Nicholas


Console Refresh Problem

Hi All,

I have a minor, but annoying refresh issue in the SCVMM console.

I have one particular hyper-v cluster which for which the console is unable to refresh the overview, the wheel spins forever.  The daily & monthly performance portions refresh ok.  This only happens for one cluster and is irrespective of the user and machine the console is running from.

Any input appreciated.

Using SCVMM for consulting clients

0
0

Hello,

I am wondering what the feasibility of using SCVMM to manage our clients virtual machines. A little background...we are a MSP company, with several of our clients using Virtual Machines.  At this time,  we log onto each Hyper-V host to admin the computers on that host.  

I was wondering if we could consolidate, and use SCVMM to monitor and administrate our clients virtual machines.  Each client is in their own domain, and we have a VPN to each client.  Is there a way to setup SCVMM to work this way?  Would it be a difficult implementation,  or something we could get going relatively quickly (under 1 month)?  I know this is not the place to ask about licensing, but if you do have any ideas on what that part might entail, the knowledge would be appreciated.

I think using this would assist in the management of our clients, and would be a helpful addition.  Any information you can provide is appreciated.

Hello, folks. So the question is fairly straight forward. I have a standalone SCVMM Management Server that I want to convert to highly available, is there a way to do it, and if there is can any one point me to TechNet article, blog post or whatever. I can't seem to find any information related to this issue.

High Available virtual machines-SAN storage availability

Hi,

Considering that we have the following scenarios:

1) High available virtual machines

2)Storage presented through a virtual SAN switch connection.

The question that I have for you is the following:

How will the SAN storage be available to the virtual machines in:

a) Life-migration scenarios?

b)Physical server failure?

Thank you.

Hi everybody,
Does anybody know how to get VMM resource access permission using powershell ?

Using Grant-SCResource and Revoke-SCResource, it's possible to grant or revoke access to a resource. What about get these permissions ?

Hi experts,

My Setup is  SCVMM 2012 R1 Console Connected to SCVMM Library on Windows Server 2012 R1.

I am able to connect the SCVMM Server successfully. The two are in different domains.

When I enter the SCVMM Powershell, it is asking for credentials and I login with the SCVMM Server credentials.

I need to check the SCVMM Library share before copying a file to library. But, I am gettingTest-Path command fail when I check the SCVMM Library share using the Powershell. It is not asking for credentials though.

Powershell#Test-Path \\PC.HYPERV.NET\SCVMMLibrary\MyFolder\

False

Is there a way to get the SCVMM Library Server credentails when running Test-Path command ?

Or am I doing something wrong ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Saleem

Rapid Provisioning or SAN Copy question

0
0

Hi VMM Community,

I'm involved in cloud (WAP) project. The customer wants to avoid VM deployment over the network, he wants to use the VMM SAN to SAN copy. AFAIK, SAN to SAN copy is the same as Rapid Provisioning, so we can't use such technique with Cluster Shared Volumes (several VMs on the Same CSV), each VM will have its own LUN. The customer claims that it's possible with CSV. So i'm asking the question here to have a non refutable answer.

Is there a technique in VMM to avoid VM deployment via Network and that leverage SAN to SAN copy and works with CSV?

Thanks for all.

SCVMM 2012 R2 - Problems with VM storage location

0
0

Hello , 

I have a SCVMM 2012 R2 HA Installation . Under vmm i have an 8 node hyper-v 2012 r2 cluster with cluster shared volumes. My problem is with VM placement. Every time i create a Virtual machine by default VMM chooses a spesific CSV that i don't want . Also because of a provisioning engine i work a lot creating Vm's with powershell. The same happens with powershell. By default the VM's are created in a Volume i don't want. Is there a way to change this somehow ? If i go to each node properties and in placement paths in the default paths i see all my CSV but the add-remove buttons are grayed out and i cannot remove or add anything. 

Any ideas ? 

Thanks

Guest VM Lease Expiration

0

I am comparing the System Center Suite against it's VMware counterpart. VMware has an option to set a maximum lease time for guest VMs after which they become inaccessible or are deleted.

Is the same thing possible using System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager? I looked around, but this does not seem to be an option when setting quotas.

Get-VMIntegrationService

We have a clustered environment in SCVMM. I am trying to use Get-VMIntegrationService but it's not working. How can I use this cmdlet with SCVMM?

Right now, I've gotten around the issue by running the command directly on the Hyper-V host, however, this is not ideal.

Problem with VMM 2012 R2 console

0
0

I have VMM 2012 R2 console installed on the VMM server and on my laptop. In both cases it works correctly. I also installed the console on Windows 2012 R2 remote desktop machine. When I start it it opens correctly, I can for example see the list of VMs. But when I try connect to any VM through console I get the below error.

And when I try to open the properties of the VM the console crashes with error

Does anyone know the solution to any of these issues?
