SCVMM R2, Job error

HI

We have a Hyper-V R2 Cluster with CSV.

We move a VM with the SCVMM R2 program.

I got an error

I dont like to re-run the job.

I use this link to hide the job in the VMM database.

http://fawzi.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/remove-failed-jobs-from-vmm-console/

Summary:

SELECT * dbo.tbl_TR_TaskTrail WHERE TaskState = ‘Failed’

I look the TaskID from the date

SELECT * dbo.tbl_TR_TaskTrail WHERE TaskID = ‘93dfa873c7af8e’

UPDATE tbl_TR_TaskTrail SET IsVisible = 0 WHERE TaskID = ‘93dfa873c7af8e’

After this sQL statement

I went to SCVMM R2 and I repaired the VM and the error disapear

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.

I try to start the SCVMM but it doesnt work.
I am thinking about something, but SCVMM doesnt give me any id error, or another information.

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

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

SCVMM 08 DC migration and IP error

hi

I have a Domain Controller in a Hyper-V machine.
I migrated a VM to another Hyper-V.
If I migrate a server machine (2k3, ó 2k8), I dont have any problem.
I have problems if I use Vlans. (see http://santospardos.blogspot.com/2009/01/scvmm08-vlan-id-migration-error.html).

I migrated the DC (Domain Controller), I got an error.
The DC was a lab. ufffffff.
I had to remove the NIC and to put the NIC again.
In a server machine, I dont have fear.
Ufff, To do that in a DC.

I put the NIC in the Hyper-V optiosn.
I run the VM again and the domain lab rus well. But It is a lab.

Can I do the same in the production domain?

Anyone , any hep.

SCVMM 08 VLAN ID migration error

hi

I have 29 VM with Hyper-V.
I am changing some of them with SCVMM08 migrate option.
The source server doest have a trunk.
The target server has a trunk.
If I migrate a VM without Vlan id to another server without vlan id, I dont have any problem. The migrate wizard inside SCVMM07 runs well.
If I migrate a VM withou VLAN ID to another server with VLAN ID, I have a problem.
The VM migrate, but I need to assign the VLAN ID by hand.
Is there any option to do that with SCVMM08?

I dont know. ;-(

SCVMM Migration error

Hi
I need to move a VM with W2003.
I always got the same error.


I think, the problem is because is a legacy Virtual Server 2005 VM
I put the machine by hand from VS2005 to Hyper-V moving the files.
I need to move the VM from Hyper-V 01 to Hyper-V 02 but I have this error.


Probably, I will move the vhd file and I recreate the server.
But, I will need to activate de windows again arrrrggggg!!!!! or not. W2008 ask me for activation. Will I activate the w2003 again? or not?
I will see...

Migration SCVMM 08, Hyper-V, AMD and Intel error

Hi
I have 30 VM.
One host is a SUN X4100 with AMD CPU. Yes yes, a SUN machine for Windows!!!!!!!.
Another machine is a HP DL380G5 with Intel.
I need to migrate one VM from one host to other.
I got this error.
ATTENTION: Unable to migrate the virtual machine XXXX because the processor is not compatible with the host XXXXX.
I did the migration by hand. I copied the .vhd file and I recreate the VM.
But, this procedure has a problem. You need validate W2008 again through the Internet.



I got another problem. The Hyper-V versión was different.
I looked through the internet de KB to migrate from 18016 to 18125 version. After this upgrade I did some VM migration without problems.
