Multi-Hypervisor Management with System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager #SCVMM to #Hyperv

May 25, 2012

Architecture SCVMM environment.

In the example above, the Order Processing Tier is installed on a VMware ESXi host, while the business logic tier is installed on a Hyper-V host. As we discussed earlier, VMM can configure and deploy your private cloud infrastructure by abstracting the hypervisor layer and deploying VMs and applications in a consistent manner using service templates.

How to Convert VMware Virtual Machines to Hyper-V

VMM supports the V2V machine conversion of virtual machines that are running on the following versions of VMware ESX:

  • ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 5
  • ESX/ESXi 4.0
  • ESX/ESXi 4.1
ImportantImportant
Before you convert a VMware virtual machine to a Hyper-V virtual machine, you must uninstall VMware Tools on the guest operating system of the virtual machine.

To convert a VMware virtual machine to a Hyper-V virtual machine

    1. Open the VMs and Services workspace.
    2. On the Home tab, in the Create group, click the Create Virtual Machine drop-down arrow, and then click Convert Virtual Machine.The Convert Virtual Machine Wizard opens.

  1. On the Select Source page, next to the Select the virtual machine that you would like to convert box, click Browse.
  2. In the Select Virtual Machine Source dialog box, click the VMware virtual machine that you want to convert, and then click OK.
    TipTip
    Verify that the Virtualization Platform column indicates VMware ESX Server.
  3. On the Select Source page, click Next.
  4. On the Specify Virtual Machine Identity page, either keep or change the virtual machine name, enter an optional description, and then click Next.
    noteNote
    The virtual machine name identifies the virtual machine to VMM. The name does not have to match the computer name of the virtual machine. However, to avoid confusion, we recommend that you use the same name as the computer name.
  5. On the Virtual Machine Configuration page, configure the number of processors and the amount of memory to assign (in megabytes or gigabytes), and then click Next.
  6. On the Select Host page, select a Hyper-V host for placement, and then click Next.
  7. On the Select Path page, do the following, and then click Next:
    1. In the Storage location box, configure the storage location on the host for virtual machine files. By default, the default virtual machine paths on the target host are listed. To select a different location, click Browse, click a folder, and then click OK.
      noteNote
      As a best practice, do not specify a path that is on the same drive as the operating system files.
    2. If desired, select the Add this path to the list of default storage locations on the host check box.
  8. On the Select Networks page, select the logical network, the virtual network and the VLAN (if applicable) to use for the virtual machine, and then click Next.
    noteNote
    The list of available logical networks, virtual networks, and VLANs matches what is configured on the host physical network adapters.
  9. On the Add Properties page, configure the desired settings, and then click Next.
  10. On the Summary page, review the settings. Optionally, select the Start the virtual machine after deploying it check box. To start the conversion process, click Create.The Jobs dialog box appears to indicate the job status. Verify that the job has a status of Completed, and then close the dialog box.
  11. To verify that the virtual machine was converted, do the following:
    1. In the VMs and Services workspace, locate and then click the Hyper-V host that you selected during placement.
    2. On the Home tab, in the Show group, click VMs.
    3. In the VMs pane, verify that the virtual machine appears.

Issue 3

When an IP address is used from an IP pool, cluster creation is unsuccessful, and you receive the following error message:

Error (25342)
Network configuration of hosts to be clustered requires at least one static IP address to create a cluster.
Issue 4

If a highly available virtual machine is running on a cluster node that fails, the virtual machine status changes to “Update Failed.” Additionally, the status is not updated until the cluster node is back online.

Issue 5

When you manually install the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) Agent on a perimeter host, the user name and password are unexpectedly logged in the AgentSetup.log file on the host computer.

Issue 6

Successive virtual machine creations take longer if many virtual machines are created and deleted in a short time.

Issue 7

Agent upgrade fails during VMM upgrade if the Microsoft Virtual C++ 2008 Redistributable package is installed on the host computer. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

Error (2916)

#Microsoft System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager Component Add-ons and Extensions #SCVMM

April 10, 2012

 

Overview

The following System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager add-ons and extensions are available for download:

VM Recovery Tool
The stand-alone Virtual Machine Recovery Tool works with System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to temporarily remove a host, cluster, virtual machine, or service from VMM when that object is in a failed or persistent warning state due to environmental conditions, third-party applications, or other causes. After resetting the state of the object, once VMM refreshes, the object will appear as healthy in VMM. This tool does not repair a damaged or incorrectly created virtual machine or corrupt .vhd file. It deals with state information stored in the VMM database. For additional details about the tool, see Using the Virtual Machine Recovery Tool for System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).

Important

This program is not a supported part of the VMM product. This program is offered “as-is”.

Virtual Machine Manager Configuration Analyzer (VMMCA)
The VMMCA is your first line of defense in troubleshooting an issue in the System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager environment. VMMCA is a diagnostic tool you can use to evaluate important configuration settings for computers that are either running VMM server roles or are acting as virtual machine hosts. The VMMCA scans the hardware and software configurations of the computers you specify, evaluates them against a set of predefined rules, and then provides you with error messages and warnings for any configurations that are not optimal.

Important

    • You can run VMMCA on a computer that is running the VMM Console or on the VMM management server.
    • You should use this version of the VMMCA with System Center 2012- Virtual Machine Manager only. For VMM 2008, VMM 2008 R2, and VMM 2008 R2 SP1, utilize the version found here.

Microsoft Product Support Reporting Tool (MPSRPT)
You can use the Virtual Machine Manager MPS Reporting Tool for System Center 2012 to gather detailed system status and configuration information from the VMM management server as well as all managed virtual machine hosts and VMM server roles.

The tool offers the ability to select the particular scenarios for which system configuration data will be gathered.

The Virtual Machine Manager MPS Reporting Tool for System Center 2012 gathers the following diagnostic data for the VMM management server, the virtual machine hosts and library servers that the VMM management server manages, and physical to virtual conversion (P2V) source computers:

  • Virtual Machine Manager traces
  • Virtual Machine Manager database
  • Windows event logs and virtual server event logs
  • IP address
  • Virtual Machine Manager setup logs
  • SQL Server setup logs
  • Registry information
  • Open ports information
  • System Information (msinfo)
