Left over Snapshots files for a VM, filling volume
FollowWhen a cluster volume got too full Veeam B&R started to fail on the affected VMs. I have moved some VMs to a different Volume to test that they will back up in the correct circumstances, but most of the extra space (unexpected) that’s filled the volume
is for a specific VM which has a lot of snapshot files left after the backup.
The VM itself is using AVHDX files instead of both its assigned VHDs.
Veeam Support told me to try shutting down the VM from Failover Cluster Manager (not the host OS) and that should merge the snapshots but this hasn’t worked. Veeam said that anything beyond that could involve data loss and I should call Microsoft.
My understanding is that the VM needs to be shut down and that the avhdx files need to be converted to VHD files in order to resolve this issue. I am also warned that simply removing the unused avhdx files will cause the VM to fail.
I have also noted that if I try and move this VM it is showing only the avhdx files that are connected to the VM, and not any of the parents which I see for each avhdx that I’ve inspected on this machine.

This makes me hesitant to move the VM in order to back it up. What should I do?
HPE Smart Path and Storage Spaces Direct
Hello Guys,
does anyone have a recommendation on enabling or disabling SSD Smart Path on S2D-Nodes?
I know that it should be disabled f.e. for vSAN.
Thanks!
Stuck " Connecting to virtual machine manager service ……", need to reboot host
I have another bad hyper-v bug
Sometimes, ramdomly, VM are not accessible, when we launch hyper-v 2019/2016 manager, we are stuck on:
" Connecting to virtual machine manager service ……"
During this time , VM doesn’t respond
3 times in one week and on different hardware ( HP proliant gen 9 and Gen 10 )
Only way to solve this issue : Server Reboot !!

a hypervisor has been detected. features required for hyper-v will not be displayed
I have a HP Proliant ML30 Gen10 and installed Microsoft Server 2016 Std. through the Intelligent Provisioning with Hyper-V. But after installation I cannot find the Hyper-V Management and in the System Information it says at the bottom: a hypervisor
has been detected. features required for hyper-v will not be displayed. I called HP Support and they said the machine is supported for Hyper-V and that I should get a fix (software) for this problem? The CPU is Intel Xeon E2124. I thought it was a BIOS setting
but HP said it was software related. Hopefully someone here knows the answer :-(.

iWARP RDMA not working on vNICs
In preparation for setting up S2D, I want to test the RDMA (iWARP) communication.
We use Qlogic QL41164HMRJ nics (Dell R640 - Server 2019).
RDMA communication works great (diskspd.exe) if I use the pNICs directly for this.
The counters in PerfMonitor give me positive results.
When using SET switch with vNICs it only works from vNIC to pNIC direction (SET and vNICs at the sending server, no SET at receiving server) not in the opposite direction (pNIC to vNIC). So, The vNIC does send RDMA traffic but can never receive it (Firewall
is disabled on both servers)
In the end, both servers must have a SET switch with vNICs of course
Any ideas?
