Hi
I am trying to add my ESX (Vcenter) environment into SCVMM server using VMM console. I was able to add the server and the status of the server is "Responding"
when I have gone up to add the host using Add resource->VMware ESX Host and cluster-> selected run as users -> <Vcenter Server>- does not display the host
Hi I want to 'copy' a large number of vm's from VMware to hyper-v. I want to leave the vm's on the VMware hosts, not move or delete them, but copy/convert them on to my Hyper-v hosts. So I will a copy on VMware and a copy on hyper-v. What is the best way to do this Eg. copy multiple vm's at the same time. VMM, MS Virtual Converter Tool, other?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I have deployed Microsoft private cloud using SCVMM, SCOM, SCCM, SCSM, SCO and SCSM Portal...
Also, i am using cloud service process pack runbooks and offerings for my vm provisioning in VM Ware platform...
After submitted the request vm got created but it is throwing an error in SCVMM jobs:A VMWare portgroup with VLAN ID 0 cannot be found on virtual switch vSwitch0...
VLAN ID of the existing virtual switch vSwitch is 48 and that we cannot change...also we cannot create a new vswitch in DC...
How can i resolve this error...
Thanks in advance for your help...

I am currently running over 300 VMs on VMware vSphere 5.1 servers. The VMs were migrated last week and all their hardware was updated and the VMware tools were also updated.
The VMs reside on a NetApp FAS 6040 with 2TB of cache. When I perform a basic Windows based test by copy and pasting a large file on a local of the server I get no more than 150 IOPs but when I perform the same task on some other VMs I get over 8000 IOPs.
I've removed VMware tools from the VM and performed a fresh installation.
I've increased the allocated memory from 2GB to 4GB to 10GB and still no improvement. The CPU does not spike when copying so I have sufficient CPUs allocated (single CPU).
I've changed the adapter from a VMXNET 3 down to a VMXNET 2 and also tried the E1000 adapter but still no improvement.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Thanks,
VG
Hi,
I am in the process of creating SCVMM environment in MTM VS 2012. Here is the software deployment architecture.
TFS 2012
SCVMM 2012 sp1
VMWare ESX host version 5.1 is added to SCVMM 2012 sp1. While creating the environment using Stored virutal machine, i get below error.
Error (22803)
Cannot place virtual machine Lab_7b5c5cf4-6559-44c8-a90f-28759e8ec6dd in cloud VSLM_0e3ba228-a059-46be-aa41-2f5cf0f4b96e because no hosts are available on this cloud.
Recommended Action
Add one or more hosts into host groups which are in this cloud's scope.

VMM 2012 SP1 installed on Server 2012 machine
VMM was integrated with a vSphere environment and was working correctly yesterday
As part of a preparation to migrate VMWare machines to Hyper-V, we ran the MAP tool yesterday on a Windows 7 workstation to view virtual machine migration readiness reports
MAP tool could not connect into VMWare environment, no data returned from inventory
Look into VMM server today, and the vCenter server shows the following status
The password on the run as account has not changed, the account is not locked out, it can successfully login to vSphere, and is listed as an admin in vSphere. Again, everything worked yesterday, the MAP tool was the only task performed, which failed to collect data, and today we have no VMWare resources in VMM.
Any attempts to delete the vSphere connection, or change credentials to a different run as account result in the following error:
Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password. (InvalidLogin). (Error ID: 2951, Detailed Error: )
We have also tried to remove any existing connections using the VMM PowerShell Command Shell, run as administrator, using the following command:
Get-SCVirtualizationManager | Remove-SCVirtualizationManager -RunAsynchronously
This command returns a similar error to what I have shown above in the first screenshot:
Remove-SCVirtualizationManager : Virtual Machine Manager cannot complete the VirtualCenter action on server server.fqdn.com because of theHi,
We develop SharePoint solutions internally and have a constant need to deploy SharePoint farms. We've been managing this manually using Hyper-V but would like to streamline, automate and standardize our SharePoint farm deployments using SCVMM 2012 R2.
Most of our SharePoint farms are either a single server that contains AD, SQL and SharePoint 2013 (and a slew of other tools) OR a 3 tier SharePoint farm that contains 1 AD, 1 SQL and 1 SharePoint 2013 server.
I've dabbled a little with Service Templates but all of the "recommendations" out there are to create sysprepped VMs and configure them during deployment using scripts etc. I found this to be a little buggy and takes a long time to test, set up and deploy.
What I'd like to do is find a way in SCVMM where I can "clone" and deploy fully installed and fully configured SharePoint farms in isolated (virtual) networks such as that we avoid name/IP/AD collisions. In our case we can have 2 "base" environments that represent the 2 use cases that we mostly use 80% of the time.
I'd like to know if what I'm looking for is doable in SCVMM and if so could you please point me to the right direction/resources.
Thanks
Hello
Is this possible to use VCenter Appliance with SCVMM?
Until now we always worked with a typical Vcenter installed on a Windows host (with local admin right as required by VMM).
If we change our VCenter to Vcenter Appliance (Under Linux), will it still work? As it's not a Windows host we wont have local admin right... or we should be root?
Thanks

I am wondering if there are any resources I am not aware of.
I need to do the following:
1. Create a VMWare VM using vcenter 5.1 controlling esxi 5.0.
2. Clone that VM to a template using vcenter.
3. Import VMWare template into SCVMM 2012 SP1.
4. Create a customized VM where I change the client OS machine name, join the VM to a domain, and assign product key, in SCVMM using the imported VMWare template.
The behavior I am interested in is a fully customized VM after the "Create VM in Cloud" job is done in SCVMM.
The behavior I am witnessing is the end VM is a duplicate of the Template VM without any of the customizations applied.
This works beautifully with Hyper-V, what am I doing wrong?
Note, I did not run sysprep before converting the VMWare VM to a Template in VCenter.
If this helps you then please mark the post as helpful.
If this answers your question then mark it as the answer.
If another contributor in the thread answers your question then please do the right thing.
And as always most answers for SharePoint are based on "It depends"
Would anyone be able to suggest where to look for an answer to this one please?
What I'm doing:I am trying to bring our VMware VSphere environment (at least partially) under SCVMM management.
What happens:After I added the Virtual Center Server to SCVMM as it says to do in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610681.aspx (and which should be a very simple 4 or 5 step process) it says "not responding" and the ESXi Hosts are sitting in SCVMM pending (but not adding). The VCServer gives the error above when either trying to adjust the properties; or when trying to remove it from the SCVMM console - so its stuck. I'm using the following versions:
SCVMM 2012 r2;VSphere (ESXi 5.0.0 build 913577);Virtual Centre (5.0.0 build 913577)
ERROR:
VMM cannot complete the VMware operation on the <VCserver> because of the error: The remote server returned and error:
(407) Proxy Authentication Required.Resolve the issue in VMware and then try the operation again. ID:12701 Details:Unknown error (0x194)
I've tried every blog and technote I can locate.
Any assistance would be appreciated

We are running SCVMM 2012 R2, ESX and vCenter 5.1. I have created a vmdk using VMWare's Virtual Disk utility.
I am attempting to create a VM from this blank vmdk and receive the following error:
Error (2947)
Virtual Machine Manager cannot complete the VirtualCenter action on the server <esx-hostname> because of the following error: Failed to open disk scsi0:0: Unsupported or invalid disk type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported..
Unknown error (0x194)
Recommended Action
Resolve the issue and then try the operation again.
I do not understand the problem as the disk has been imported in SCVMM and created using VMware's own disk creation utility. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Hello
I have some VM on my VMware 5.1 ESX that are incorrectly imported in the SCVMM console with a status "unsupported undo disk".
I have checked those VM config and compared with other VM on the same host/datastore/network and I can't find any difference.
A refresh-vm display the exact same information as a get-vm and does not update this error message to anything "understandable" as there is no "Undo disk" for those VMs.
How can I troubleshoot this?

I would like to deploy a service template to a private cloud based on vsphere/esx 5.5.
I know that the current version support only 5.1 but i can not find any information about when and how SCVMM will support vsphere/esx 5.1.
Any idea?
Thanks

Hi Experts,
We have a production VMM 2012 SP1 Infrastructure managing both 24 Node ESXi 5.0 Cluster and 12 Node Hyper-V 2012 R2 Cluster.
We planned to split the ESXi Cluster with 24 Nodes, as Two ESX Clusters with 12 Nodes each with different VLANs. So we removed 12 ESX Hosts from old cluster and created as new ESX Cluster in Virtual Center and imported the New ESX Cluster to VMM, which works well and Good. But we have issue with the Old Cluster, Though we have removed 12 ESX Hosts from the old Cluster and make it available as another cluster, the Old Cluster still lists those removed ESX hosts with "Need Attention" status. If we refresh the Old Cluster, we are getting the below Error,
Error (2914)
The connection to the %ServerName% server cannot be established.
Recommended Action
Ensure the server is up and running along with the virtualization service.
Dear experts PLEASE HELP to remove the ESX host entries from the Old Cluster!!!!
Thanks in Advance,

Hello,
I am doing a proof on concept with SCVMM in our ESX environment. We are running the following:
vSphere Client 5.1.0 Build 1471691
VMWare vCenter Server Version 5.1.0 Build 1473063
ESX host(s) Version 1900470
This is a show stopper for me. I discovered this issue when deploying a new VM and the machine would BSOD at bootup. I discovered that the SCSI type had switched itself to LSI Logic Parallel when it should be LSI Logic SAS. I shut the VM off, changed the adapter type (in vCenter) back to LSI Logic SAS and turned the VM Back on. It worked fine.
I then attempted to modify a current VM that was off. I can change the SCSI adapter type to any other type in VMM; however, when I go into vCenter, the adapter does NOT change. It appears that changing the settings in VMM has NO impact on the VM. I can change other properties without issue (# or CPU's, amount of RAM) and that works fine. I am at a standstill. Please resolve this issue ASAP.
Thanks,
Dan
To whom it may concern,
We have added our ESX 4.1 Update 2 Cluster that's being managed by VMware vCenter to SCVMM 2012 because we want to create a private cloud and use the resources of the ESX cluster. SCVMM is replicating all the vSwitch from the ESX cluster as a logical network but it's not replicating the port groups on the vSwitch as Network Sites associated to the Logical Network.
May you please advise or confirm that this is the normal behaviour of SCVMM? Or is there any way that SCVMM would be able to recognize the port groups associated to the ESX vSwitch and replicate it a a Networks Sites associated to Logical Switches?
Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
