Hyper-V and iSCSI drive. Change the driver letter.

Hi again
I have a hyper-v server with 3 drives for the VM.
the first drive is a Raid 5 local drive.
the second and third drives are in a EMC iSCSI SAN.
I have 5 VM in the second drive.
I need to change the letter to this driver (Don't ask me why, It is too long to explain ;-) )
I change the path letter in the VM options. For the snapshots and for the .vhd file.
I tryed to run the machine.
I failed .

I did waste time to study the error.
So I moved the VM with the VMM08 and I changed the drive letter from V: to U:

VMM08 and vmms.exe version

hi again
Following the previous post.
I updated the vmms.exe file, thus I moved the stopped VM, the running VM, the saved VM without problems.


Moving a running VM. (Yes, It is quick migration (Windows Server 2008), so the machine stops 10-12 pings). I will test this machine in a Windows Server 2008 R2 with Live Migration soon.


Moving a Stopped VM.

NOTE: If you update the hyper-v version (vmms.exe file), you must close the vmm08 console. After re-running the mmc console you must refresh the servers to get the new update. Otherwise you got the "unable to migrate..." error.

VMM08 and Unable to migrate

Hi again




We have an Hyper-V environment with 46 VM.
We have VMM08 to control them.

We try to move VM from a host to another an I got this error:


Unable to migrate the virtual machine sw2k8av because the version of virtualization software on the host sw2k8dtc01.cartv.int (6.0.6001.18125) does not match the version of virtualization software on the source host (6.0.6001.18221). To be migrated, the virtual machine must be stopped and should not contain any saved state

If you look for the vmms.exe in the c:\windows\system32 directory:


The vmms version is different.
The guilty?
The Microsoft update.
One machine had the update service up, the other one it had'nt.
So I need to update the both machines.

NOTE: I refresh the vmm08 mmc in the client. If you won't do it. The error continues, even you had upgrade both hyper-v servers.

TS Web access and Microsoft Project 2007

hi everyone

If you need to test Microsoft Project 2007 in a TS Web access lab , there is a problem.

The Project 2007 says something like " The Microsoft Project 2007 doesnt run in a Terminal Server machine". You don't have a VLK .

I got a solution for the test lab.
If you have a VLK, you won't have any problem.
But if you haven't...

Run the installer and DO NOT PUT IN A SERIAL!
After Office is installed, DO NOT OPEN ANY OFFICE PROGRAM!!
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office 12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en
Inside the folder, edit the xml file in notepad...
...find where it says:

and replace "AlwaysInstalled" with "neverinstalled" and save

AND REMEMBER.. IF YOU LIKE THE LAB, YOU MUST BUY THE PRODUCT.

Palo Alto Networks and Windows Server 2008. The perfect lab.

Hi everyone

My company was searching for an UTM. (Web filtering and anti-virus). But we need HA, Logs, Active Directory integration, Transparent mode, Layer 3 features also.

We tested Ironport, Finjan, Fortigate, Trendmicro virtual applicance over Hyper-V, PIneapp, Barracuda appliances. We read the features in the bluecoat, websense, F5, stonegate appliances also.


is this the best option?. (http://www.paloaltonetworks.com/, PaloAlto Networks).

Integration Services and Keyboard in Hyper-V

Hi again

You know. The Integration Services Setup Disk (ISSD) in Hyper-V solves the problems with the keyboard and mouse. If you use RDP to control the machine, you had had them. isn´t it?

You can install everything in the Data Center, but , you will forget something.
So, When you install a new Windows 2003, XP etc, you can use the mouse before you install the Integration Services.

You can do:
a) If you use the ISSD, the windows lauchs a wizard, you can use the mouse then. The mouse focus is in the ISSD disk. You can finish the wizard and to restart the machine. The mouse will run well.d
b) You can maximize the RPD host server windows. You need to maximize the guest opertation system in Hyper-V (View-Full Scrren Mode ctrl+alt+del).Now you can use windows+e and you can see the explorer in the guest machine not in the host machine.

My SQL server was down. The databse was there. SCVMM dont advise me.

I start the SQL server, and the SCVMM rus well.

If my SQL was destroy, you need to do:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/virtualmachinemanager/thread/e3a76bb7-e769-482c-9135-49896d764eb9/
1) Backup the database by going to Administrator Console, Administration Page, on right hand side select "Back up Virtual Machine Manager". This will create a SQL backup (.bak) file on your specified location.
2) Uninstall the server
3) Install the server and now point it to the new SQL server location in the install wizard.
4) This will create new database
5) Run scvmmrecover.exe to recover the data from SQL backup (.bak) file created above into the new database.

We dont save the state machines

We dont close the VMs

We dont do nothing when we turn off or turn on the Host Machine.

Hyper-V closes and opens the VM without problem.

I like this spanish post:
http://blogs.technet.com/davidcervigon/archive/2008/12/17/sobre-clusters-de-hyper-v-y-clusteres-virtuales.aspx

This post speak about Host Clustering and Guest Clustering with Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows 2008.
I did a firts test with Iometer to test disk performance with the Equallogic iSCSI V.2.
I disable DEP for Iometer.

I didnt upload any picture about Iometer because I hope you know this piece of software. ;-)

I configured iSCSI options in the Equallogic iSCSI SAN and the Windows 2008 .

I did installed any software from Equallogic (Dell). I used the Windows 2008 options.

I configured 3 LUNs. I will use only one for the test.

I did the performance test with Iometer in a physical machine.

I started the lab with 1 DC, and 2 servers in Hyper-V.
I configured iSCSI options in the VM server. The configuration is the same. In this virtual machine I configured only one LUN.

I did the performance test with Iometer again.

NOTE: This picture is the performance window from iSCSI Equallogic SAN. I need to study the logs from Iometer ;-).

The iSCIS performance is very similar with the host machine and the Hyper-V machine.

Maybe 6-7% less of performance. I will read the results in detail.

The idea is to set up a lab with Exchange 2007. One lab with physical machines. Another with virtual (Hyper-V) machines.
In this lab , I will run LoadGen (Exchange Stress Tool).

PS: I will speak with the Storage Dell Consultant to understant the results. ;-)

App-V : Autocad, Office 12, OmniPage, iNews

hi

We are testing App-v.
We have the sequencer server in a Hyper-V machine.
We are testing..

This is my Application Client with the applications.

Autocad LT 2007: Not good. I need to speak with Autodesk. I have a problem with the key.
Office 12: Not too bad. Althoug I need to copy some files from de sequencer to the client.
Ominipage 15 : Everything goes well.
iNews (TV application): Everything goes well.

I am learning more about App-V. I will publish my new tests.

App-V in Hyper-V. Service error.

hi

are you installing App-V in Hyper-V?

Every time that you restart the VM with the Application Virtualization Manager server you need to start the service from mmc console (services.msc).

Trend micro Virtual Appliance in Hyper-V

hi

We are looling for a Web filtering and an antivirus in the DMZ.
We have Fortigate, and we are testing, PineApp, FinJan, WebSense, Ironport, and so on.

Trendmicro gave us a Trend micro virtual appliance (with Red Hat).
We don´t have VMWare.
The Tred micro consultant did know Hyper-V.
We installed the Trend micro virtual appliance with Hyper-v.

The VA runs very well:

In this picture, The Fedora9Nagios is the Trend micro VA. Before we had a nagios ;-)

Trend Micro Consultant tell me to speak with USA to explain our test. ;-) Will it be true?

Hyper-V, DC Virtual Machine, Windows Time Sevice (Win32Time), Regedit

hi

We have 29 VM.
All DC (3) are VM.
Is these a good idea?
We have problems with the windows time.
Our 1DC is the PDC. But it is a VM, so, sometimes we had a bad hour.
It depends on the BIOS host machine.

Solution:
We change the regedit in the host machine .
We follow this link:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Configuring-Windows-Time-Service.html

We solved the windows time service error in the Virtual Machine Domain Controller. (DC VM)

Windows 2008, Hyper-V, Quick Migration, Equallogic.

Hi
We are testing an iSCSI SAN, Hyper-V, Exchange 2007, Windows 2008 ... to set up new infraestructures in my company. (CARTV http://www.cartv.es/).
We have tested Windows 2008 with Hyper-V, Quick Migration in a Equallogic PS iSCSI SAN.
Our LAB:
2 PC Desktops HP 5800 (We dont have 2 servers for our LAB ;-( . Both servers are a Windows 2008 clusters. SW2KLAB01 (node 1), sW2K8LAB02 (node 2). Both with Hyper-V role. Both nodes have 2 LUNs from iSCSI Equallogic 10G and 500G.
1 DC. Domain controler SW2K8LABDC01. It is a VM in node 1.
1 Windows 2008 like a NPS role. It is a VM in node 1 too. (SW2K8LAB03)

First test: I would like to probe the new Windows 2008 cluster, with Q disk (quorum) and the share resource (without Q disk). Both tests were well.

Second Test: Quick Migration. I clustered the VM service in node 1 and node2.
I moved SW2K8LAB03 from one node to another.
I only lost 6 pings.
VMware loses 2 ping with V-motion?
How many will Microsoft lose with Live Migration in Windows 2008 R2 ?















My Hyper-V configuration in NOde 1
















My Windows 2008 cluster

My CMD window while I did the movement between Node 1 and Node 2 with SW2K8LAB03 (NPS server role).

Thanks to RAXON and Dell (David Pascual) for the Equallogic PS iSCSI SAN and your help.

PS: Performance test with 2 desktops as a Windows 2008 servers. My NICs dont have TOE, so probably I will improve my performance with 2 new servers.
PSS: The pictures are in Spanish. My lab is Spanish Servers. (and my English is not good ;-) ).

PSSS: Any questions? I will answer by email or in a comment in this blog ;-).

I will do more test ....

TS Application. TS Web Access error in Windows 2008

Hi

Although this is an old trick.

I am going to publish ths solution again.

Do you use TS Win dows 2008 for running Applications?

Do you have this error?











You need to install XP SP3 or RDP 6.1 ( KB952230 ).
And you need to delete the Regedit these entries:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{7390f3d8-0439-4c05-91e3-cf5cb290c3d0}HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{4eb89ff4-7f78-4a0f-8b8d-2bf02e94e4b2}

That is all
