Virtual Machine Manager 08 R2 , Hyper-V 1 Cluster error

Hi

It is so funny (or sad).

I testing Virtual Machine Manager 08 R2. VMM08 R2.

I migrated without problem, but the hyper-V 1 cluster (Windows Server 2008) give me this error:

That is, because I have 3 VM in the cluster to do quick migration.

The Hyper-V 2 cluster (Windows Serve 2008 R2) runs well inside VMM08.

It is weird that a new product dont support the first cluster version for VM.

This is a negative point for VMM08 R2.

Host Clustering. Guest Clustering. About Blades and Clustering, File Share Majority and fail.

Hi
I have host clustering with guest clustering.
Host clustering with Windows Server 2008 R2 and CSV (Cluster Shared Volumes).

I have guest clustering (a file cluster an a SQL 08 cluster).

I have 2 blade chassis

The cluster has 3 nodes. Why?

The Node 1 and Node 2 are in the first Chassis

The Node 3 is in the second Chassi.

Everybody says that the chassis never fails. But I dont know. Maybe !!!!! ;-)

And

When I installed the therd node, the wizard advise me about the quorum disk,

Wich option is the best?

Well, Althoug No Majority disk is a bad option in the wizard, in my lab is the best option.

I shutdown The node 1 and node 2 (that is, the first chassis is down), and I can continue working with the Node 3 in the chassis 2.

I try to test other options, and I cant setup the cluster because I have 2 nodes out.

Virtual Machine Manager 08 R2. Things about

Hi
I have a VMM08 and I installed VMM08 R2 to test it.
I have Hyper-V, Hyper-V R2 and Virtual SErver.
I liked VMM08 R2 because, I upgraded the VMM agent and the windows server 2008 or R2 dont reboot. So I can upgrade without problems.

This picture shows a R2 Cluster with CSV, and some Host alone.

The agent upgrade was very well in Windows Server 2008 and R2.

PROBLEM:

I have a virtual server 2005. Yes I have one already.

The agent upgrade gave me a problem.

I need to reset the process. The second upgrade was well.

Windows 2008 Cluster. Blade, HA and so on

Hi

I have a discussion

I have 2 chassis blade.

The main chassi has a Hyper-V R2 Cluster. I have a SQL08 Cluster in VM.

In the second chassis, I installed a Node3.

If the first chassis fail, I have another chassis with one node.

But , he we are the problem

I have Node and File Share Witness for the cluster.

I have a notice about the cofiguration when I introduced the Node 3.

WICH is the best option?

The first option is not enough. If the first chassis is down. I only have the Node 3.

The last option is a solution, but It is not recommended.

Did Microsoft think in this problem?

I have VM for the cluster, but the Quorum options are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!

Windows Serve 2008 R2. Not Activate Server if you have a VM

hi
I have a VM with Windows Server 2008 R2.

If you delete the machine, and you copy de .vhd file you need to activate again the machine.

You need VMM08 or Export the VM with the Hyper-V MMC.

When you export the VM, you save everything and you save inside the folder:
a config.xml file
a .reg file.
You can edit these files, and rename the options. So you can use like a template to import new machines inside your HYper-V and you dont need activate the Windows Server 2008 R2.

A Hyper-V R2 Cluster R2 with a Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV)

Hi
I installed Windows Server 2008 R2.
I would like to test a Hyper-V Cluster with CSV (Cluster Shared Volumes)
I follow this link: (yes, I know , There are many links about that, so I am not going to explain again).
http://blogs.msdn.com/clustering/archive/2009/02/19/9433146.aspx

I upload some pictures with some notes:

The cluster validation was well

I put the VM in the cluster without problems.

I have several problems because the virtual NICs in both nodes havent the same name.

When I fixed the name. Everything went well

The CSV files worked very well. I have a LeftHand iSCSI SAN.

The live migration ran very well. I didnt lost any ping.

802.1x, NAC or PaloAlto Firewall

Hi

We have Enterasys and Cisco Electronics networks appliances.

We were looking for a system to avoid rogue Netbooks and PCs in our network.

I know, the 802.1x is the best option.

We have the 802.1x for the wireless network in our company. Everything goes well.

For the cable network we didnt have any option because is difficult to integrate 802.1x in both systemas. We are a few technical people in the company.

I looked for anothe NAC solutions. For example NAC Sophos is a good solution.

But finally, we are thinking to change the UTM with authentication option .

The Fotigate, PaloAlto, Barracuda, Cisco, FinJan, etc appliances are the options.

Move SCVMM database

Hi

We have a SCVMM 08 in a VM.
We have the Database in a old serve. we need to move it to the new server.

I was searching to do it with a few steps.

I founded this link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/virtualmachinemanager/thread/e3a76bb7-e769-482c-9135-49896d764eb9
The steps:
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


There is a SCVMMrecover script aswell.

I am going to use the link. I will write my experience in the next post.

LeftHand Cluster

hi

We are installing 2 cluster LeftHand SATA and SAS iSCSI SAN.

The support in Spain is poor. HP doesnt have partners in little cities for this iSCSI SAN.

We are goint to setup a VDI Infraestructure with the HP Blade C7000 and SAS Virtualization Lefthand Cluster.

A HP Lefthand consultant from Madrid help to setup the cluster.

Everything goes well.

Performance and others flaws, test options etc will be written here.
