I am planning to implement the following solution.


1)Is this a good solution and are there any drawbacks?
2)Do we need separate VLAN for heartbeat and storage network?
3 Is 1-2 GB enough for the Quorum?
4)How many 2016 server standard license need?

I am running a Server 2012 Hyper-V cluster on identical hardware that ran well for years. Recently, one of the OS'es became corrupt and the server had to be rebuilt. We named the two server in the cluster VM1 and VM2 and they use a FC SAN as CSV. I had to rebuild VM2. Now the cluster IP address is showing as offline- the rebuild was in-place, and I kept the same IP addresses and configurations so the servers are back to being identical. The error code I get in Failover Cluster Manager is "0x80071397 - The operation failed because either the specified cluster node is not the owner of the resource, or the node is not a possible owner of the resource."

The IP address properties sheet shows both VM1 and VM2 checked. I also used the "Get-ClusterOwnerNode" cmdlet to verify the same thing. Any ideas?

I am Running Exchange Server 2016 in a Hyper-V environment.  KB4340731 failed installation for CU9.  After correcting other issues, mail flow is working, but I am not able to access management either through Administrative Center or through EMS.  The Microsoft Exchange Service Host service is constantly restarting.

Basically, I wanted to implement the following scenario and wanted to know  whether it's possible

NODE1(physical server)
Server 2106 Datacenter

VMS(hyper-V)

AD/DHCP/DNS
Fileserver
Terminal server


NODE2(physical server)

Server 2106 Datacenter

VMS(hyper-V)

AD/DHCP/DNS
Fileserver
Terminal server

I need to configure  Hyper-Converged 2 node hyper-v cluster using the existing disks in servers.

I have a Server 2012 R2 Guest Machine, A Domain Controller that is a guest as well. It is a production environment and has been running well since 2012. Recently we received a new public IP address and had to make some adjustments to the server:

New SSL cert applied after the change.
Made sure no IPv6 is running. with the new router/switch.

Everything is working. httsp://access.somedumbdomain.com/rdweb works, all offices can connect. 5 off site locations can connect.

A vendor needs to update his software for the client, we login and to manage rdweb services though the server manager and we discover the A remote desktop services deployment does not exist in the server pool.

I have googled every error in the error logs, tried ever thing in for the words A remote desktop services deployment does not exist in the server pool.

Help!

Windows 2012r2 Hyper-v with Windows 2012r2 Guest VM.
We have migrated our accounting application from a physical server to a virtual server.
The accounting software runs at a comparable speed on the virtual server as it did on the physical server.
However, client workstations running the accounting application from the virtual server are much slower.
Example times to run a customer report
   Run application report directly on the Physical server - 3 seconds
   Run application report on network workstation attached to physical server - 10 seconds

   Run application report directly on virtual server - 3 seconds    
   Run application report on network workstation attached to virtual server - 30 seconds

Disk, CPU, Memory and network utilization are all very low.
Can anyone advise a starting point for troubleshooting?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have 2 servers 2016:
-A is the hyper-v host and also a DC
-B is virtual and is the DC, file server etc.

A frooze because of lack of memory but B continued working fine.

I shutdowned B today and then I closed A.

I rebooted A  and B started fine.

But when I try to do from A \\B\ it tells me \\B is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator.....have access permissions. The target account name is incorrect.
I see in the A Events  id 4 error Microsoft-Windows-Security-Kerberos :
"The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server ppdc16b$. The target name used was DNS/ppdc16b.pp.local. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Ensure that the target SPN is only registered on the account used by the server. This error can also happen if the target service account password is different than what is configured on the Kerberos Key Distribution Center for that target service. Ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both configured to use the same password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (PP.LOCAL) is different from the client domain (PP.LOCAL), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified name …

I am getting the following error message in the event log each time it's restarted.

We have two identical Dell PowerEdge servers running WS2012 R2 set up as a cluster to a Dell PowerVault SAN.
There are 14 Hyper-V VMs occupying a little over 3TBs. As we are looking to expand the storage of the PowerVault,
I need a good backup solution for the VMs.

What is the most common and best way to backup these VMs?

Hi i need to create a powershell script to check multiple hyper-v hosts for checkpoints over 24 hours old. could someone provide some assistance please.

so far i have Get-VMSnapshot but im not familiar enough with powershell to any more than this.

Hello,

any idea if I can use Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows - Server license, to backup Hyper-V and 2 VM, installed on Hyper-V?
I am asking this because I want application aware backup in VM to be done.

Or is that too much for him, and I should deploy 3 agents, 1 in each VM and host? Buying full Veeam B&R server, for this is not an option :)

Regards,
Ivan.

I have a file server cluster that has been working fine for about a month. The cluster is 2 virtual machines on hyper-v (2016) that have VHD sets attached to them on the hosts. These are imported into cluster manager and I have had no issues with them.

2 days ago, I migrated these new host servers which are in their own cluster configured using MS VMM.

On the original hosts they was a very simple configuration, there were 4 1GB NIC's 2 in a team for the host and 2 in the team for the clients. There was also 2x 10GB adapters in a team which the host used along with a virtual switch connected to this team that the cluster used.

When moving to the new hardware that is configured by VMM, I have tried to segregate networks more. The hosts still have their team on the 2x 1GB. but now the clients 1GB team is separated into the cluster network and client access network.

Since this move, clients have been complaining that connections are dropping and certain apps are crashing out. If I move the app to another server not under the VMM configuration then it works without issue.

What could be causing this? On all our physical network adapters we have VMQ disabled as it caused nothing but lag. I noticed VMQ were enabled on all the virtual adapters created, so I disabled this but that didn't affect the performance.

Maybe I should enable VMQ on physical + virtual? I am not sure I don't want to cause more issues while everything is running.

Hi,
I have a Windows 16 server 192.168.0.5 ppdc that hosts Hyper-v.
I have only one vm and it is my DC 192.168.0.7 ppdcb
I see nothing but the mouse on my physical monitor that is connected to.
MSTSC to ppdc doesn't work.
Manage remotely to it doesn't work.
Hyper-v manager from ppdcb to connect to ppdc doesn't work.
\\ppdc gives me Network Error Windows cannot acces. Check the spelling of the name otherwise there might be a problem with your network.....
I tried \\192.168.05 same thing
How come my VM is working fine but my Host is unaccessible
Affraid of pressing the power button after doing a shotdown on my vm ppdcb
What would be the cause.
Is a lack of HD space on ppdc be the source of that?
What are my options?
tx!
