I have a 2012 Hyper-V failover cluster setup and recently added SCVMM 2012 SP1 to the mix so I could perform some P2V migrations and familiarize myself with its other many capabilities. I noticed that if I create a VM inside SCVMM it doesn't show up in the FCM UI with the other VMs I created from FCM. VMs that you create in FCM do get picked up by SCVMM however. Is this by design?
Thanks,
Greg
Hi,
When creating VM's in SCCM I am noticing that the VMs are named "SCVMM VMNAME Resource". I only only it to show the VMNAME like all the other servers.
Is there a way to disable this?
Many thanks
Hi folks,
We have multiple servers with 2 different hardware specs (CPU, NIC, HBA) , We already created 1 HyperV cluster with SCVMM
with 1 type of severs (3) and plan to create another cluster with the other type of servers. Is it doable on SCVMM? what's the best practice for this? Do we need to create different logical networks in SCVMM to accommodate the new
cluster?
Thanks.
Dear Microsoft,
we are facing SCVMM ERROR refresh performance data failed and attached the error message and if it's possible to fix the issue.

God morning
Anyone ever had this issue
The SCVMM Service account keep stopping.
Service Status: Stopped
1-manually restart, still not working
2- Restart the server still not starting
Now I can’t user SCVMM at all
Is it a Microsoft issue? Anyone can help, I will really appreciate.
Thanks

Any idea of when XenServer 6.5 will be supported in SCVMM 2012R2? I've just installed Update Rollup 8 and still receiving the message
Error 20555
"The Citrix XenServer host %1 could not be added because the version of the hypervisor is not supported by Virtual machine Manager. Ensure your XenServer hosts are version 6.0."
I have the Microsoft System Center Integration Pack 6.5.0 installed, certificates saved to the Trusted People store, but still the same error persists.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hello all,
One of our clusters is currently in a state of being overcommited. We have 1 host as reserve and the cluster contains of 5 hosts. We use 2012 R2. I have used the following article to calculate where the issue could be:
http://www.miru.ch/unveiling-cluster-overcommit-in-scvmm-2012-hyper-v/
However, I get the results below. All the outcomes are positive, so what could be the issue? I suspect it has something to do with the 192 GB vm. Also, is there any impact for failover? All other hosts seem to have enough memory to support any other host failover.
| Hostname | Total | Reserved | Total used | LargestVM | OtherVMdemand | Fail 1 | Fail 2 | Fail 3 | Fail 4 | Fail 5 |
| Host1 | 512 | 2 | 486,5 | 192 | 294,5 | x | -8,5 | -8,5 | -8,5 | -8,5 |
| Host2 | 512 | 2 | 216 | 32 | 184 | 102 | x | 262 | 262 | 262 |
| Host3 | 512 | 2 | 224 | 32 | 192 | 192 | 254 | x | 254 | 254 |
| Host4 | 512 | 2 | 240 | 32 | 208 | 78 | 238 | 238 | x | 238 |

I'm trying to write a script to choose between two different CSVs. The goal is to use the one with the most free space. I'm almost positive the script will start with a Get-Command and possibly use a Where-command and a Set-command. I'm not sure if it will use a For-each loop. Some help would be appreciated.
The two volumes I'm trying to use are 'C:\ClusterStorage\Volume35' and 'C:\ClusterStorage\Volume36'.
- I want it to query the volumes and select the one with the most free space at the time this script is ran as the free space available will vary.
The variable I'm trying to define for the creation of the virtual machine's hardware is: $CSV =
The Create New Virtual Machine part of the script looks like this:
New-SCVirtualMachine `
-VM $VM `
-Name $CloneName `
-Description "" `
-JobGroup $JobGroup `
-UseDiffDiskOptimization `
-RunAsynchronously `
-Path $CSV `
-Run
I'm trying to create a script that will go through my cluster shared volume and find the volume with the most free space between two different volumes: C:\ClusterStorage\Volume35 and C:\ClusterStorage\Volume36. The script I need will be used for SCVMM and will create a virtual machine template for me on the volume with the most free space. The script I have now that I'm using does this but it goes through all the volumes on the cluster shared volume. I need to limit this script to just check the two volumes, volume 35 and 36, and select the one with the most free space to use for the virtual machine creation.
My current script, or part of the script that will perform this, looks like this (I need help modifying it to do what I need):
$objs = @()Thank you.
We've Hyper-V cluster deployed with SCVMM and 8 host.
But we are facing time out error at the time of creating and moving VM guest only in 3 nodes. All other nodes are working fine.
Now it's become a burning issue. Please help me.

I have a Compellent SAN configured with a 20TB CSV that is used for the HA VMs. On top of that I have configured six 5TB LUNs that are assigned to the individual hypervisors (1 each). Sometimes without knowing until it's too late the FCM (Failover Cluster Manager) takes control of one of the non-HA LUNS and assigns it to the current storage owner. This, of course, breaks any VM with resources stored on that LUN.
Is there a way to tell FCM to not take control of a certain disk or LUN from the hypervisors?
Dear all,
I have a 2 node failover cluster connected to a storage via iSCSI hosting 6 VMs all and i´m facing a serious performance problems, can someone help me or send me hits on our and from where should I start troubleshooting. The VMs are definitely slow.
Here are my configuration
NODE 1 and 2 connected to the storage via iSCSI. All the servers and storages are on the same LAN Switch, no VLANs just different IPs.
NODE 1 and 2 are the same box, HP DL 380p G8, 4 Cores of 2.50GHz CPU with 48GB of RAM and 32 GB of RAM.
The VMs are running with 8 and 6 GB of RAM and 1 vCPU of 2 Cores.
The OS os the Host and VMs are the same, Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition.
The VMs are running webserver, company applications and database.
Please I need help.

Hello! I have SCVMM 2012R2 with many missing VM.
VMM database place on 2012 SQL Server.
I try to delete it according to the article: https://narayanguptablog.wordpress.com/2015/12/28/fixing-the-incorrect-vms-state-in-scvmm/
unfortunately sql query gave me the error that can not find function [dbo].[prc_RR_Refresher_Delete]
What am i doing wrong?
Hello,
We have two 8 node 2012R2 Hyper-V clusters. Both clusters have the same networking configurations - separate networks for Live Migration\Cluster and management.
We need to storage migrate a number of VMs from one cluster to another.
I'm using SCVMM to do this.
When I do it with the virtual machine turned on it uses the Live Migration network and SMB multichannel, so no problem here. However, When the VM is turned off It uses the management network instead :/
I would have thought a storage migration would be quicker when the VM is turned off - we can accept the downtime for these services
Why does this happen and is there a way to force it to use the Live Migration network even when the VM is turned off?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I am trying to setup a two node cluster with ISCSI storage in System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. . I am unable to get HyperV hosts to communicate to ISCSI Target in VMM.
HyperV Node 1 : three 1GB Nic's and two 10 GB Nics (OS : Server 2012 R2)
HyperV Node 2 : three 1GB Nics and two 10 GB nics (OS : Server 2012 R2)
ISCSI Server : two 1 GB Nic's and two 10 GB Nic's
Server which has VMM on it : three 1 GB Nic's and one 10 GB NIC
I am tring to use 10GB NIC's for Storage communication and all these 10GB NIC's are connected to SuperMicro SSE-X24SR-L3 10GB layer 3 switch.
all the 1 GB NIC's are connected to cisco Switches with connection to Internet.
How can I configure VMM to use 10GB NIC's for Storage communication so that I can use 1 GB NIC's for Host management and Virtual machine management?

Hello,
I have SCVMM 2012 R2 managing a 212 R2 failover cluster with 4 nodes. The console shows a few dozen of VMs with "Missing" status, without an obvious reason.
I've tried to live migrate them from one node to another, but every refresh job fails with the following error:
Error (2915)The VMM agent version is not older.
I've also tried to restart the respective node, but the result is the same.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Gabriel
