On premise I have 20 Virtual Machines running in Hyper-V, these VM's are replicated into Azure. I have a VPN tunnel setup from On premise to Azure. If i carry out a test restore of a server 2016 Server, I can connect to it fine, via SQL, RDP etc however I cannot connect to my Server 2003 VM's either via RDP or SQL

(I know 2003 is no longer supported and plans are in place to upgrade the Databases on these servers, but that will take another 12-18 months)

Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Service is disabled, so I don't know if this needs enabling and then configuring for the relevant ports on prem or if there is another issue ?

Hi,

What is the main difference between SCOM and VMware vRealize Operations Manager monitoring tools.

Our network includes VMware, Hyper-V, Veeam backup and want to monitor all including basic windows services, cpu, memory utilisation, SQL database etc.

Can we consider vROPS as a replacement of SCOM?

Thanks in advance.

Trying to convert Hyper-V VM to VMware using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client 5.5.3 build-2183569 but getting following error at the time of connecting the Hyper-V Server (Windows Server 2012)-

"The version of the selected Microsoft Hyper-V Server is not supported. Select an earlier version of Microsoft Hyper-V Server or another supported source type."

I am running VMware vCenter Converter on the vCenter Server 6.0.

Need your expert help to resolve this issue.

When you export a VM in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, does it export the VM and ALL checkpoints with it?

When I import the VM later, will it have the entire checkpoint subtree in the imported VM?

I am considering doing hyper-v replication on my VMs.  Anyone using this?  Any issues or caveats?

I have 3 servers in my RDS farm and everything is configured and running well. Employees can connect via their HP terminals and I can migrate computers to and from hosts. The issue is we cannot connect via RDP to the server locally to manage. We can connect via Dame Ware just not RPD. Netstat shows port 3389 in the listening state. Ideas? Maybe a RAP policy in the Gatway manager? Should I use a different port other than 3389? Firewall is off even made the entries and turned it back on to test. NADA

Error on connection: Cannot connect to remote computer please contact your administrator.

note: I can RDP into all servers except the one with the GATEWAY service.

In Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, I deleted the checkpoint subtree for one of the VMs ... let's call it VM1.  I see the "merging ..." status when this is happening.

Suddenly all other VMs were automatically paused in "Paused-Critical" state, and I can't restart any of them.

When I try to restart VM1 it says:
Could not initialize memory: There is not enough space on the disk. VM1 failed to start.  VM1 could not initialize memory.  There is not enough space on the disk.

The Virtual Machine VM1 failed to start because there is not enough disk space.  The system was unable to create the memory contents file on "C:\ ... . bin" with the size of 4097 MB.  Set the path to a disk with more storage space or delete unnecessary files from the disk and try again.


Before I deleted the checkpoint subtree for VM1, VM1 has 13GB of free virtual space, and the host / physical server 38GB free space.  Please help.

Hi

I need to P2V for few physical mahcines and I'm trying to save to CSV volume directly.

I can access the physical machine by C$ and access into CSV location but when I try to save disk using Disk2VHD, it says target has not enough space which is because it only detects the space of physical volume.

Anyone please advise how I can save VHD file location directly to CSV so that I don't need to save to disk first then copy over to csv (double work) ?

Thanks

I have a Dell T300 test bed server and I have installed Server 2012 R2 STD. It is strictly a host for Hyper V and contains only the basic  roles. It is not a domain member and belongs to a workgroup. I have created 2 VMs running Server 2012 R2 STD, VM-1 and VM-2. VM-1 has been configured as a domain controller, VM-2 had been configured as a domain member computer. A virtual switch was created on the host and virtual NICs on both VMs. All VMs and Host are on the same subnet 192.168.1.x, network discovery has been enabled on both VM instances, but not the Host. For some reason I am not able to browse between either VM. I can ping the static IP of each VM and access the internet. I am not sure if I have overlooked a setting. This is a learning process for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks HBee3

My environment:

Two DL360G9 servers - HVCLLN1 & HVCLLN2 - running Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V
Each Hyper-V host has one Windows server 2012 R2 guest
DL360s are connected directly to each other via LAN On Motherboard port 3
Other ports connect to Production LAN, vMotion LAN, SAN etc

The network of interest on each host looks like this
            Config on HVCLLN1:
               Physical NIC is LOM1 port 3
               vSwitch SQLClusterComm, is connected to Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet #3 (aka LOM1 port 3)
               vEthernet (SQLClusterComm) Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #5 is on IP 172.16.1.53
                   Guest IP is 172.16.1.63 on vSwitch SQLClusterComm
            
            Config on HVCLLN2:
               Physical NIC is LOM1 port 3
               vSwitch SQLClusterComm, is connected to Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet #3 (aka LOM1 port 3)
               vEthernet (SQLClusterComm) Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #5 is on IP 172.16.1.54
               Guest IP is 172.16.1.64 on vSwitch SQLClusterComm
   
   Cat5 cable connected from HVCLLN1\LOM1 port 3 to HVCLLN2\LOM1 port 3            
  (also, tried crossover cable even though should not need one - no difference)

I can ping within each host, but not between them. Ping:
  from 172.16.1.54 to 172.16.1.64 works.
  from 172.16.1.53 to 172.16.1.54 does not work.
  from 172.16.1.64 to 172.16.1.63 does not work.
  from 172.16.1.53 to 172.16.1.63 works.
  reverse direction on any of these is same result

Can someone here help me find where my mistake?  

Thanks!

Hi experts,

I would say my technical level as far as servers is about a 5 to 6 out of 10. The IT person setting up the server would be a 12. He makes sure I have good quality hardware and software, but he also doesn't always recommend the most expensive. For this reason, he has no issues using WSB, but I don't want something that bare bones, no matter how well it works. Plus, I am more willing to spend money. As a physician, I see myself working another seven years (which I know is bordering on too long for the server -- I guess I am misguided by the fact my Dell Edge 2900 lasted that long).

Just to give my setup, I am setting up a Dell T430 server with Windows Server Standard 2016 as the host, with two VM guests. One will run my SQL databases and the other will contains Essentials for Active Directory and will be the DC. I have only eight clients all Lenovos running Win 7 Pro. They are all identical. Modem is Arris by Spectrum with 70 down and 6 up. pfSense router (awesome, but I am glad he set it up) and a Cisco 26 port switch. I know this is more info than you need. My old server (Dell Edge 2900) will temporarily be the fax server, but it can be converted to something else -- maybe a replication machine? I can also get Azure for the cloud much cheaper than AWS.

So, now to my question. And, these are frustrating I know, because it is more about opinion. I generally end up splitting the points as there is no right or wrong answer. But, I am trying to decide among …

Hi All,

I've restored a virtual hard disk for hyper v and now I cannot open the  Virtual Hard Disk Folder. it don't give me an error, it just wont open. thank you in advance for your help.

the disk was recovered from Microsoft Azure Backup server which is running on Microsoft Azure.

Regards,
Kelly

Dear All,

I expand an Virtual Hard Drive from 300gb to 600gb and, after that, the replication stopped working.

What happen is that the replication VM, stops at the old capacity and don’t “update” to the new one.

Example:

SERVER1
VM – 600gb

REPLICA-SERVER
VM – 300gb

I already tried this steps:

- Make a new Virtual Machine;
- Remake all the replication process;
- Expand the replica VM HDD to the new capacity;

Nothing worked.

The error in events is:

Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'SERVER': The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error. (0x800701E3). (Virtual machine ID ............)

Any clue?

Thank you very much.
