HI,

I’ve been experiencing latency issues when  Live Migrate a VM from one node to another, I get 2-3 timeouts when  migration process from my VM. this is normal? My NICs 1Gb are direct connect  at 2 node server for only live migration network
with different subnet with another connection (192.168.xx.xx)

Is there any way to improve this?

Thanks for any answers.

I’m trying to upgrade a Hyper-V 2008 R2 core to 2012 R2 Core since I know there’s not a direct path to 2016. I’ve downloaded an .ISO file from MS that I believe is the Core version of 2012 R2. During the setup process, I elect to upgrade instead of the custom
solution which I believe will install a fresh copy of the product. I then get a message that informs me that I can’t upgrade the version I’m running which again is the Core version. 

My question is if I decide to install a fresh instance of 2012 R2 core (or 2016 at that matter), can I (manually) restore my VMs in the newer version? Other than backing up the VHDs and XML files, is there anything else I need to successfully restore them?
Would using the import process work in this case once the new version is up and running? Or worse case, could I make note of the key VMs settings and rebuild the VM with the same settings and point to the existing VHD from 2008 R2?

The environment that I’m working with is not a production environment but there are some VMs that I don’t want to rebuild from scratch. All of my VMs are located on the D drive which is different from the installation drive. 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m working on power failure consistency. This is very hard to test and debug for what should be obvious reasons.

Running my code in a VM helps because I can hit the "power off" button on the Hyper-V management window frame. However, that doesn’t allow me to specify where in my code I want the power failure event to occur, which is what I really need.

Is there a way in a VM to tell the hypervisor to simulate a power failure, i.e., do the same thing as hitting the "stop" button, at a specific point in code? Maybe executing a particular illegal instruction would do it?

If not, that would be a wonderful addition to Hyper-V because it would make testing power failure scenarios much easier.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello,

I have a ‘Windows Server 2019 Standard’ Hyper-V Host.

On the seven occasions that my Veeam backup job for a Virtual Machine has failed, a non-standard checkpoint with an odd icon for the Virtual Machine has been created/left on my Hyper-V Host.

When I right-click on one of these checkpoints, there is no option to delete it and hopefully trigger a merge.

How can I cleanly delete each of these lingering backup based checkpoints whilst preserving the integrity of the production Virtual Machine?

I would prefer to do this in stages by the automatic merging of checkpoints if possible.  I’m also keen that
all changes are written back to the main disk files (VHDX) automatically.

Any help gratefully received.

Kind regards,

Glen
