I have a 4 node Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster and manage it with VMM 2012 R2. I just upgraded the cluster from 2012 RTM to 2012 R2 last week which meant pulling 2 nodes out of the existing cluster, creating the new R2 cluster, running the copy cluster roles wizard since the VHDs are stored on CSVs, and then added the other 2 nodes after installing R2 on them, back into the cluster. After upgrading the cluster I am unable to migrate some VMs from one node to another. When trying to do a live migration, I get the following notifications under the Rating Explanation tab:
Warning: There currently are not network adapters with network optimization available on host Node7.
Error: Configuration issues related to the virtual machine VM1 prevent deployment and must be resolved before deployment can continue.
I get this error for 3 out of the 4 nodes in the cluster. I do not get this error for Node10 and I can live migrate to that node in VMM. It has a green check for Network optimization. The others do not. These errors only affect VMM. In the Failover Cluster Manager, I can live migrate any VM to any node in the cluster without any issues. In the old 2012 RTM cluster I used to get the warning but I could still migrate the VMs anywhere I wanted to. I've checked the network adapter settings in VMM on VM1 and they are the same as VM2 which can migrate to any host in VMM. I then checked the network adapter settings of the VMs from the Failover Cluster Manager and VM1 under Hardware Acceleration has "Enable virtual machine queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading" checked. I unchecked those 2 boxes refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still could not live migrate VM1. Why is this an issue now but it wasn't before running on the new cluster? How do I resolve the issue? VMM is useless if I can't migrate all my VMs with it.
