• Can I use Hype-V in a Cluster to ensure our application redundancy?

  Our application is software that contains several objects DCOM, web service and database. We develop a solution of redundancy of the complete system to provide the functionality of failover.

  Now, it looks like the use of Hyper-V in a Cluster is a more simple and better than our own solution. The application can be installed in the Hyper-V and failover can be provided by the cluster.

  Is there a limitation on this?

  Using windows api cluster, detectable application a failover operation when installed in a virtual machine of Hype-V that is taken in a cluster?

• vWorkspace 8.0 Server 2012

  Do we have to have installed Microsoft remote desktop services farm and running before install us vWorkspace 8.0? The reason why I ask is, when I tried to install the guest role of vWorkspace on Windows Server 2012 Session, he informed me that I have to install Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Session Host installed before the vW. VWorkspace not install and activate all the roles on its own?

  Hi Dejan,

  You don't have to install the Microsoft RDSH role on your server Windows 2008/2012 before installing as a host of Session vWorkspace. VWorkspace installation package will do this for you.

• RDM SQL 2012 Cluster VMs on separate host

  Greetings,

  I'm looking to use RDM for a SQL Cluster in 2012 and go though the process of adding storage the second node shared, I'm a bit confused.

  I'm referencing Document from VMware, "Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service". I'm following the steps under "Clustering of virtual machines between physical hosts.  So, I advanced and added my LUNS that are on shared in the ROW to the first node storage.  The next step is to add the hard drive the second node, but this process requires me to select "use an existing drive" and select records that represent the ROW that are stored in the data store where host1 exist.  The document indicates, "select physics like compatibility mode, and then click Next.  The only option I get is, choose the Mode: persistent, Nonpersistent, or None.  I don't have an option to specify the disk as is physical or not.  I did when I created the RDM for the first host.

  Also add the disks as RDM should I stored with the virtual machine (which is on the shared storage) or should I create a separate data store and specify the data store that is on the same shared storage.  Since each of the RDM are separate LUN on the shared storage, I think I'm curious to know if its better to choose the option to store in a different data store, then with node 1.

  Any clarification on this is greatly appreciated.

  See you soon

  I suppose you want to create SQL 2012 Cluster of virtual machines on physical hosts. Please see the steps below.

  I think that there is a typographical error in documents that you won't get the same " physical compatibility mode" option again The disc is already created with a physical as on VM - 1 compatibility mode. Now you have to go with the "select Mode: persistent ' on vm - 2. Once you are done with VM - 2, VM - 2 right click, select the hard disk and observe the compatibility mode is selected physics only.

  RDM disks can be stored on the same data store shared where virtual machines are created or separate shared data warehouses. As your wish where you want to keep. One thing must remember two data stores must be shared with the two physical hosts.

  Thank you

• VMware ESXi 5.1 can run Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 SMV also, nice!

  I created a detailed instructions (with screenshots and video) using GA-level code here:

  http://tinkertry.com/ESXi-5-1-running-hyper-v-Server-2012

  using the "basic" version of the new Hyper-V, with tips and ideas from these forums and other sites on the previous beta tests.

  Here's the gist:

  • Create a "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)" VM, using the default Configuration
  • Right click on the new virtual machine and material virtual upgrade to Version 9
  • twist the VMX, adding these 4 lines:

  MCE. Enable = TRUE

  Hypervisor.CPUID.v0 = FALSE
  featMask.vm.hv.capable = Min:1″ «»
  VHV.enable = TRUE

  • Remember, it is assigned to a network where the vSwitch is Promiscuous Mode to Accept
  • Turn on the new machine virtual of Hyper-V
  • perform the default installation and configure Hyper-v, hard IP-code if you wish, create an Admin user and password name that matches a customer's system
  • create a Windows 8 'customer' VM, as the Hyper-V Manager takes just a few seconds to add
  • Difficulty of COM security on the client system
  • use Hyper - V Manager this virtual machine to connect to Hyper-V, and then...
  • create a Hyper-V hosted Virtual Machine, can connect you and turn it on to test

  I'm looking forward to suggestions or alternative methods, but for the moment, it was the only way I could get it to work in my own laboratory, thought that others might not want to try to replicate this exercise.

  Windows Hyper-V (not supported) is a selection of OS comments available through the user interface in Workstation 9.  It defines the guestOS to 'winhyperv '.  Although the selection of the BONES of Hyper-V is not available through the user interface of 5.1 ESXi, I understand that support it is always there.

• The Group PS6100XS and Hyper-V Server 2012: migration of storage between LUNS corrupts VM

  Well, I'm puzzled! Summer hit my head against this whole week. Basically, ranging from a virtual machine clustered LUN on the Bay EqualLogic corrupts the virtual machine. Here is my configuration:

  1. SAN 1: PS6100XS 6.0.1 firmware, 2 LUNS configured as CSV, 1 as a quorum disk
  2. SAN 2: FreeNAS 8.3.0, 2 LUN (ZFS-formatted, for what it's worth)
  3. Server 1: Dell R310 running Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V installed feature. 4 network cards: 2 made team for traffic LAN, 2 for iSCSI with HIT KIT 4.5 configured for MPIO.
  4. Server 2: Old box SuperMicro running Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V feature installed. 2 network cards: 1 for LAN traffic, 1 for iSCSI with HIT KIT 4.5 installed
  5. Created and all cluster validation tests passed
  Here's what works:
  1. Ranging from a virtual machine of the LUN if there is no activity on the VHDX
  2. Move a VM all LUN the EqualLogic to any number of unit logic FreeNAS or vice versa
  3. Move a VM between LUNS on the FreeNAS
  4. Move a VM between LUNS on the EqualLogic BEFORE I created the cluster (just using Hyper-V Manager, not the Failover Cluster Manager)

  This is what kills the VM whenever:

  1. Create a virtual machine through the Failover Cluster Manager - is not matter which node owns the storage or the VM - tried all combinations
  2. Take an active virtual machine, power and move a LUN EqualLogic to another EqualLogic LUN. The move signals the success, but the VM blue screen at the end of the move will and will no longer be able to start. It's basically fried.

  BTW, I tried also to disable one of the iSCSI NIC on the R310 - what does not help either. Any ideas? I have a case goes with the support of Dell EqualLogic, but so far they have been puzzled. Anyone got something like this works yet?

  OK, after Dell tried about 5 different times to tell me that my setup was not supported (actually claimed that EPA software was not supported!) I finally got someone who gave me workaround: disabling ODX by changing the key "reg" HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\FilterSupportedFeaturesMode from 0 to 1. This "fix", but it also takes one of the most interesting features of the 2012 Server + EqualLogic: ODX! With active ODX, I can move 20 GB in< 1="" sec.="" with="" it="" disabled,="" it="" takes="" around="" 2="" minutes,="" depending="" on="" network="">

• How to activate the Hyper-V Server 2012 on Fusion 5?

  Dear members of the Forum,

  I have a Mac Pro early 2008 Intel Xeon, 16 GB under Snow Leopard and VMWare Fusion 5 installed, as well as a few virtual machines running perfectly. I decided to create a virtual computer that is running Windows Server 2012. The installation went well. However, when I tried to activate the Hyper-V technology I got in trouble.

  In the Virtual Machine settings > system settings > general: I chose "Hyper-V (not supported).

  In the processor and memory, I selected 4 cores, 4 GB and in advanced: enable applications to hypervisor...

  In other/advanced: the virtualization engine preferred: Intel VT - x with EFA

  and all the possible permutations of these selections. Nothing has worked.

  Error messages:

  Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor has no virtualization required capabilities.

  Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.

  Preferred mode is unavailable. Using VT - x instead. This host does not support EFA.

  All this leads me to believe that my hardware configuration does not support the operation of computers virtual hyper-v in Fusion. According to your philosophy, we can consider this to be a reality: everything is always possible. However, what drives me nuts are guys on internet blogs, everybody saying he's working on their system! I would like to hear an authoritative voice if possible, or not.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Eric and welcome on VMware communities!

  It is purely a matter of features of the CPU.  None of the processors that apple delivered in Early 2008 Mac Pro systems supports Extended Page Tables (EPT).  According to the list of the Mac Pro systems, the processor that you have will be E5462, E5472 or X 5482, as well as relevant on the (related) Intel Web site pages show no support for EFA everymac.com.

  Without EFA, we cannot virtualize VT - x.  In other words, the guest operating system cannot see and use virtualization assisted by material, although the merger itself will be able to make use of the hardware support of the functions of virtualization host to run the virtual machine: we can use VT - x, but cannot virtualize to make it available to a nested prompt.

  Hyper-V is entirely dependent on the hardware support for virtualization (VT - x for example), then it won't work as a guest nested in your configuration.

  Companions VMwarian jmattson produced a great entry on nested VMS requirements and functional combinations here: nested VMs running

• Installing Oracle 12 c in a virtual of Hyper-V (Windows 2012) machine

  I try to install Oracle 12 c on the machine performance virtual Windows Server 2012 2012 of Windows Hyper-V reviews. Oracle is a stand-alone facility, and I want to use ASM for my records.

  My disk inside the VM is from disk (SCSI controller) used.

  Is this a supported configuration? I'm not able to see the disk with Oracle Grid ASM installer even if I chose external open in the installer of the DSO, and the name of the storage provider is visible on the disk management utility in Windows.

  Am I missing something here?

• Quest Desktop Virtualization (vWorkspace) user profile management issues

  Hi, I work on the configuration of the user profile with (Win 7 VDI) virtual desktop management service following the guide of vworkspace administrator 7.6 and any other docs, I found on quest.com and I have a problem with it, there is nothing in the file metaprofiles\global. It doesn't seem to work. I have a file (vdi-storage1) server with action c:\vdiuserprofiles\ created folder where the profile will be stored. I also installed the role of vWorkspace on this file server user profile management and the service is running. 5206 port is open. All the virtual desktops have pntools installed with all the options and I can see that the user profile agent is running. I can reach the storage server (vdi-storage1) using telnet on port 5206 and ping. I even gave domain user full ntfs permissions to the c:\vdiuserprofiles folder, but I don't think that this is necessary.

  -In the Managment Console > resources > (right click 'properties') user profiles

  -General: Compression: low, log level: detailed, Refresh: 5 minutes

  -Storage servers: server name: vdi-storage1, Basic file: c:\vdiuserprofiles\metaprofiles, Folder Global: Global, The TCP Port: 5206

  -Silos: name: VirtualDesktopSilo, storage for the user profile server: vdi-storage1

  -Properties VirtualDesktopSilo

  -Members: name: desktop Windows 7, Type: computer group

  - Storage for the user profile server: vdi-storage1

  - Automatic backup: 30 minutes

  The MC did create the folder metaprofiles\global automatically when I applied the settings. I use supplied with vworkspace default registry keys, and I attributed them to the domain users group. I recorded several times power on and off on the virtual desktop. I noticed 5 second delay on the virtual machine after that I typed the information identification, and before she really connects me since I activated the profile management. A I forgot something or is misconfigured it?

  OK, after having received assistance from Dell (Quest) suppor, t the issue happens to be with me remoting (via RDP) for VM directly instead of by the intermediary of the broker vWorkspace, therefore the profile could not be created because I had not the closed valid session so it never created the profile. Once I've tested it using vWorkspace connector this worked.

• Installation of Hyper-V T420 2012: "we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one.

  Try to install Hyper-V (hypervisor bare metal, not a role) on T420 with PERC H710, receive an error message:

  "We could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files. »

  (Don't even have the slightest idea where search "Files Setup logs" - do not think that the Setup program has a place for them to write).

  What I'm doing wrong here?

  The waiter came with a RAID1 mirror previously partitioned on H710 (the rest of the readers - still not configured); Double SD cards with the hypervisor, VMWare (to be erased or left alone).

  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

  After you disable the internal SD card slot, the installation ends without incident.

• vWorkspace 8.0 | HyperV 2012 R2 | &lt; Unspecified &gt; virtual network name

• Migration of the iscsi initiator software to hardware initiator on 2012 Hyper-v cluster.

  Hello

  We have 10 blades x M620 with Broadcom 10gig 57810 M1000e CMC card dedicated for iSCSI Equallogic PS 6110 San.

  Currently software used on cluster hyper-v Windows 2012 connect SAN PS6110 iscsi initiator.

  150 VMS are in production on 15 CSVs.

  We want to change the initiator of the software to the hardware on all our existing blades without CSV output.

  Is it possible on hyper-v cluster 2012 to have 5 blades with initiator software and remaining 5 blades with hardware initiator with same CSV cluster?

  If coexistence of initiator software and material as possible through hosting then I can apply this change a bit on our 10 blades without cluster downtime.

  Hello

  What version of FW EQL do you use?

  Yes, it is possible, however a couple of updates warn first.

  1.) install the latest firmware / boot code and driver for Broadcom cards.

  2.) put the node into maint mode then you can disconnect the SW iSCSI provenance and sign in using the HW iSCSI adapter.

  3.) do not try to do it with an active node / online.

  The advantage of the HW iSCSI adapter reduces the CPU Overload, if you are maxing out the CPU not now, do not expect a large increase in performance after HW iSCSI card.
