I am trying to add a file share on a Windows 2012 Server as a library server with an SCVMM 2008 R2 installation. Is this possible?
The job fails when attempting to "Install Virtual Machine Manager Agent" (after 4 minutes). I tried allowing all inbound connections through Windows Firewall on the file server, but no luck.
In both cases I get this message:
Error
(2916)
VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the agent archive.rapidis.local was lost.
(Unknown error (0x80338126))
Recommended Action
Ensure that the WS-Management service and the agent are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTP traffic. If the error persists, reboot archive.rapidis.local and then try the operation again.
This is the script which vmm runs:
Add-LibraryShare -VMMServer RapidisHyperV -SharePath "XXXXXXX" -Description "" -JobGroup 78128fe1-dbc7-4b09-b830-c2d68d63b96f -RunAsynchronously
$Credential = get-credential
Add-LibraryServer -VMMServer RapidisHyperV -ComputerName "XXXXXX" -Description "" -LibraryGroup "" -Credential $Credential -JobGroup 78128fe1-dbc7-4b09-b830-c2d68d63b96f -RunAsynchronously
For reference the file server also hosts another file share which serves as a library server for a system center 2012 sp1 VMM. Work fine.
