• Windows Server 2012 on ESXi 5.5 R2

  If I understand correctly, Windows Server R2 2012 is fully supported as a virtual machine on ESXi 5.5 hosts but when I go to create a new virtual machine the last OS I see in the list is 2012. Am I missing something?

  Yes... you can create VMS 2012 victory. Simply select the latest OS available in the list.

  Win 2008 is perhaps...

• Windows Server 2012 R2 on ESXi 5.1.0?

  Dear Experts,

  We have an ESXi 5.1.0 (build 1065491) host and I wanted to install a vm of Windows 2012 R2 server. Although the drop OS had only "Windows Server 2012" listed, we were still able to install a Windows 2012 R2 server. Servers seem to work very well - it's OK to have 2012R2 running on the ESXi 5.1.0 host? When we have the opportunity to upgrade to 5.5 should you change the version of the OS from 2012 to 2012R2 for this virtual machine?

  Thanks for your help.

  as you can see, w2k12 r2 is supported only with U2 5.0 or newer:

  VMware Compatibility Guide: Chief Guest/research

  Moreover, you will never see 2012 r2 as operating system for select guest. Don't know why but it of like that because 2012 probabelly and r2 are very similar and not necessary for the difference...

  I have esxi 5.5 U3 and still no option to select with 2012 r2. vpshere 6.0, it is always the same...

• Suspension of consistent application on Windows Server 2012 invited with U2 ESXi 5.0

  We lack ESXi 5.0 U2 (build 1254542) and we are going to have problems making consistent application paused on our virtual machines that are running Windows Server 2012.

  We use Acronis vmProtect, and he throws warnings on our VMS in 2012 on the SQL Writer is not not available.  I contacted the Acronis support and they said that it is a problem with the suspension of consistent application.

  When I take a snapshot of a VM 2012 (verification of the ability to perform a capture instant consistent application) capture instant full fine without errors or warnings.  But when I look at the vss_manifests zip file that is created, there is only a single file (backup.xml) with a single line.

  When I take a snapshot of the suspended application on our virtual machines that are running server 2008, the vss_manifests zip file also contains files for each of the VSS writers.

  I checked the disc. EnableUUID is set to true (the virtual machines created on ESXi 5.0 U2 with Virtual Machine Version 8).  I have even manually it specified.

  I checked that the virtual machines use only SCSI disks (there is only 1 disc) and is not a GPT disk or dynamic within the guest OS.  It is a thin disc put into service, if that matters.

  I checked VMWare Tools is installed on the client, and I tried to reinstall it.

  Is there something else I should look for consistent suspension with applications working on Windows Server 2012?

  What do I need to run ESXi 5.1 for this to work?  (Or could I just install the latest version of VMWare Tools manually?)

  If I have to run ESXi 5.1, 5.0 to 5.1 ESXi licenses are worth?  (We have the 5 Essentials license Server vCenter).

  If I have to run ESXi 5.1, must I also improve our vCenter Server installation of 5 to 5.1?

  Thank you

  We've finally updated to 5.5 and everything seems to work fine now.

• Windows Server 2012 slow on ESXi 5.1U1

  Dear jury,

  recently, I installed four Windows Server 2012-VMs on my ESXi. It's a HP DL380G7 (Controller-P410i HP Xeon E5645, 144 GB of RAM, with 8 HP - SAS 500 GB in RAID6).

  All four virtual machines have a very poor performance, SMB video speed, slow slow.

  I have a server 2008R2-Windows on the same host, which are very good. If I copy a file (for example an ISO) of my client to the server, I have about 80 MB/s. If I do the same in one of my 2012 server, I get about 20 MB/s or less. Sometimes the process cancels (destination network not found)... Still the same thing if I copy between virtual machines. When the copy of CPU consumption amounts to 70%, sometimes at 100%, the server is not usable this time.

  What I've done and tested:

  * 2012 Server installed by the standard ISO (MS Action Pack-download)

  * fact update ESXi 5.1 to 5.1U1 and updated on all virtual machines VMWare tools

  * change to VMXNET3 E1000E network card

  * disabled SMB signing

  * changed SVGA drivers for MS-display Standard driver (3D acceleration is grayed out in the VM options!)

  * Settings IP of all virtual machines are ok (DHCP)

  All the 2008R2 works well, all 2012 are very slow...

  What can I check or what I got wrong?

  TIA and greetings from the Germany

  Matthias.

  It's weird,

  As I did the day 1 for my ESXi5.1 update I upated the VMWare tools on all virtual machines as well. Every server 2008R2 did a restart and they are always very good. 2012 servers did not reboot after update the VMWare Tools. Today, I did a restart of all my servers from 2012 and voila, 3 out of 4 are very good. Running quite smooth with 80 to 100 Mbps SMB-Performance! GREAT!

  Just a virtual machine is too slow I started... But this one I will get in shape too, I think that...

  Display 3D even drivers are fine now.

  Best regards

  Matthias.

• Install OfficeJet Pro 8610 on Windows Server 2012

  Hello

  I'm trying to install the drivers for a Pro OfficeJet 8610 on a system running Windows Server 2012. I installed the drivers from here (after choosing Windows 2012 for the operating system): http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Officejet-Pro-8610-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/53...

  First of all, I tried to install using the GUI (Setup.exe) but ran into an error indicating that the operating system was not compatible.

  I did some research and discovered that these drivers must be installed by using the command line and the command msiexec.exe. I tried to do it by using the following command-line (with administrator privileges): msiexec.exe /i PATHTOMSI

  However, when I do that, it gives me ALWAYS an error of incompatible operating system. Don't know what to do here.

  Here is a link to the Post on the HP Forum explaining the need for a command line install: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/installing-Pro-8610-Windows-server-2008rt-X64/m-p/426...

  Thank you.

  I ended up soliving this problem myself while tinkering around.

  I went through the process of adding a new printer through the devices window and printers.

  I said my printer was not listend so opted to manually configure a printer. I have created a new local port and he just called the name of the printer. He then invited for drivers. I chose the disc and then navigated to the folder where I had extracted the printer drivers. Selected this file and the drivers installed.

  This example gets the drivers installed in the system. Windows should then automatically recognize/install the printer if it is plugged.

  Mind you, I had to do that only for printing on a desktop connection remote. If you need the real HP software installed to print AND scan, this will not work for this.

• ML6000 not detected in Windows Server 2012

  Hello

  Our ML6000 is not detected by a new Windows Server 2012 host. It is not found in the Device Manager. However, the 3 SAS LTO 5 inside drives are detected properly.

  It used to be connected only to a Windows 2003 R2 server and is detected without problem. When you are connected to the Server 2003, it originally had 3 SCSI LTO 3 drives.

  For testing and comparison, we place 6 all readers in the library and connected the SCSI 3 Server 2003 R2 and the 3 SAS drives on the server of 2012.

  However, the library is not detected on the 2012. It is detected by the machine of 2003. The two hosts can access the console GUI library.

  The only difference I see between the 2 servers, is that the 2012 server does not have a SCSI card, there is no cable SCSI goes in. But I guess that SCSI connections are just to detect the readers and not the library itself

  What we missed? What type of connection the library should be on the server of 2012 to have detected it in the Device Manager?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  To use 2 hosts and have 3 drives on each you will have to partition the library and create libraries of logic 2. You put 3 discs each and set a path control for each partition. The path of control allows the host to communicate with the library through its interface scsi or sas.

  Hi all

  According to Oracle advises has resolved it as follows.

  It is a failure with OutOfMemory. Increase the memory allocated for the process of the bsu. Change the following line in bsu.cmd

  MEM_ARGS =-Xms256m-Xmx512m set

  TO

  Set MEM_ARGS =-Xms1024m-Xmx1024m

  Basically, you will need to open bsu.cmd in Notepad, and then change the setting above. And then again run. And it will work.

  Thank you very much

• Windows Server 2012 R2 BSOD 0x0000013c

  Hello

  I have some problems with one of my files Windows 2012 R2 servers. Each week the server crashes with a BSOD INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE (code: 0x0000013c). Some research told me it should be a pilot with a memory leak.

  Client: Windows Server 2012 R2 update, 10, LSI Logic/Paravirtual storage controller hardware version (tried both), NIC vmxnet3

  Host: HP Proliant DL380G7 and G8, ESXi 5.5 Update 1 and 2

  3 other files with the same configuration servers have no problem, they are all from the same model.

  Like I don't know what else to do, you have any suggestions how to fix?

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards

  Roland Schauer

  Oh wow, haven't seen it for a long time.

  as for my analysis, it seems that your security software Trend Micro goes haywire in your system. Your OS crash caused by OVERLAPPED_MODULE: address regions of overlap 'TmXPFlt' and 'TMEBC64.sys'. Where 'TMEBC64.sys' belongs to 'Start clean boot Driver' Trend Micro and the TmXPFlt seems to have some sort of basis for security suite library. The threading button somehow an invalid memory, the operating system enters a kernel panic. I suggest another solution of security or patch up to the latest version available - application and operating system.

  Roland, can you send us your landfills so we can take a look at as well?

• Implement the deployment of Machine virtual Windows Server 2012 with a data Bit Locker encryption?

  Hi all

  Is it possible to implement the feature data Bit Locker encryption on my Virtual Machine to Windows Server 2012 Std on the Platform VMware ESXi 5.1 vSphere update 1 ?

  The hypervisor is currently running on servers HP Blade BL 460 c G8 . Read well the hardware specification: http://h18001.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14208_na/14208_na.pdf I see that he has taken a TPM installed on the blade, but I don't know how to make sure that it is activated or used by the Virtual Machine?

  Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  I had a few goes at it and it's not like you can virtualize a TPM. It would make sense if it was the case - the secure TPM was not designed to manage multiple instances of the OS.

  I ended up making USB passthrough on a USB stick and have the Bitlocker key stored on this stick as a demo. Certainly not a transaction supported, but it showed that the storage of key seems to be the only issue.

• Windows Server 2012 with EFI fails to start after reset of HA

  The purpose of this thread:
  1. a solution, if anyone else has this problem.
  2. If someone has a better knowledge of why this happens or how avoid feel free to explain it please.

  The scenario:

  I was a new analysis a HBA via the Web Client (something I've done many times before in the non-Web client without any problem...) and loses connectivity to the ESXi host. No response from the ESXi at all and I've noticed a GROUP... That's fine for now...

  The biggest problem is that the VM on the failed host installs via HA to my other ESXi in the cluster, each of them has started normally except my 2012 server s. Just the Automatic Startup Repair Wizard has started, and I couldn't do much from there... I tried a few things auto repair, but they could not fill...

  So, I entered the command line tools and ran from diskpart. Discs not presented at all. That's where he hit that I use PVSCSI drivers for my 2012 s server so I was trying to understand how I could inject the command line, but I tried something else first...
  I started the virtual machine on the ISO 2012 server. Tried the option repair, no OS not found to fix, so I chose a new installation and loaded drivers PVSCSI pvscsi-floppy, interrupted the installation and tried the repair option again. He said something like "Continue to start Windows Server 2012" and viola! The VM rebooted successfully and started successfully in the operating system.

  All 3 2012 Server virtual machines on failure that esxi is affected. No Server 2008 or linux where affected machines but they do not use the pilot PVSCSI.

  
  Anyone has a solution alter or maybe an explanation why this happened? This will happen if HA into action on my server 2012 s?

  Is it possible to test or confirm without killing an ESXi host?

  I am running vSphere 5.5 and I don't think that I had this problem with 5.0 or 5.1, but I'm not 100% sure that cause I don't remember no matter which GROUP or another that are running older versions of the failure.

  Hardware version is 9, EFI boot.

  Thank you!

  Finally, I solved this... Looks like a mistake to the EFI initialization after reset of a HA. I know EFI is not supported by FT but I'm only using HA I can't find anywhere that it says that it should not work.

  This is how I fixed the corrupt WS2012 boots:

  1 boot WS2012 ISO, select new installation, load drivers PVSCSI, interrupt installation and choose repair. (Only needed if PVSCI-pilot helps you bootdisk)
  2. choose Help and then command Promt
  3. Run diskpart
  flight type list
  Locate the number of the partition-small FAT32 EFI, in my case nr 3
  Salt type flight 3

  type assign

  flight type list

  Choose the letter assigned, in my case E:
  Type exit

  4 cd /d e:\efi\microsoft\boot

  5 ren BCD BCD.bak

  6 bcdboot c:\windows/l en-us/s E: /f ALL

  7 bootrec /fixmbr

  Bootrec /fixboot

  Bootrec /scanos

  Bootrec /rebuildbcd

  Don't know if all these are necessary... However, it works. Note that the scanos and rebuildbcd show 0 found BONES.

  8 exit the command prompt and click on "Continue starting the server 2012" after that recharge should work properly again.

• Problema al add UN nodo adicional al Cluster Windows Server 2012 con VMware Workstation 9 en

  Hola Buenas,

  Ante todo decir este are a Québec fallo he revisado y las responses in different los don't post han well para help me, good os.

  El caso are that I have 2 servers DELL PowerEdge R420 fisicos identicos, cada uno con ellos 3 VMs sober instaladas VMware Workstation 9. The first virtual machine are an image of Kerio control, a second virtual machine to Windows Server 2012 con dominio Controladora, is the third VM con WS2012're donde quiero crear el cluster con dominio usuario. ESTOS servidores knew vez esta una cabina data via iSCSI connected.

  Add tambien when performed the tests of validation led Cluster, todo lo tengo OK. El caso are so creo el cluster con el Nodo 1 y 2 Nodo (sugar Québec cada uno fisica Máquina distinta ellos y bajo mismo Dominio) me error UN da has the el crear hora cluster. In cambio, if creo el Cluster con este nodos if any to crea, pero el fallo viene a hora of connect UN nodo adicional (ya sea o 1 Nodo Nodo 2). Este fallo viene cuando el nodo TR checks are completely funcional in el Cluster, is is "pensando" y da fallo por tiempo sold.

  He revisado problemas similar y he visto that el antivirus can be una causa e caso no lo're are only aun no he wont any AV... There comprobado red devices (utilizamos 4, 2 iSCSI, 1 red LAN y otra heart rate), he desactivado los red el protocolo IPv6 devices, he probado connect los nodos con el Kerio Offline, el desactivado firewall of Windows, exportar components del registro TCPIP6, capture las conexiones iSCSI...

  El cluster is as en Máquinas Office instalacion del WS2012 y is ha hecho manera person, no mediante VMWare del injerto.

  Una nueva prueba as hoy he ha hecho sido realize el cluster 2 maquinas office in una misma Máquina física y to ha s con exito, pero cuando intento realize el 2 nodos cluster (2 machines virtual cada una fisica diferente Máquinas) cuando me da el error. Esto deduzco raiz Quebec are a VMware o red, no lo o problema se, he probado use tan solo 1 switch (infrastructure utilizaria 2), changing IPs, pero igual sigo as can be? contacts? Alguna especifica VMware config?

  El caso're llevo several days ago that don't con este problema y no se a what can deber, agradeceria muchisimo the the comunidad ayuda.

  MUCHAS Gracias

  Buenas

  Between 2 workstation are posible realize ese tipo configs of forma limpia.

  El problema're (sniffer lo of UN pones veras TR), Los nodos assume ip-spoofing y arp spoofing cuando salen por tarjeta of Red led host.

  Para hacer eso as pides, deberias workstation pasar an esxi.
