    I am having a few problems.

    I have decided to look at SCVMM and Hyper-V cluster to replace a ESXi cluster.  I am liking SCVMM2012, it's very powerful.  But.....I am struggling to find the required information to allow me to replicate the vSphere setup with ease.

    For the most part my trials have been successful.  With one exception.

    I am trying to get XenDesktop to create Virtual Machines on the new configuration.  I've built a new XenDesktop setup with version 5.6 and can go through the wizard without any problems.  It starts to create the VM and actually goes through the whole process.

    The problem comes when it tries to attach the newly created hard disk (which is stored on the CSV) to the new VM.  It fails.

    I am still trying to work out why, but I suspect one of the reasons is that the CSV isn't visible within SCVMM2012.

    So, the question, how do I present the CSV to SCVMM?

    Has anyone come across this situation and found it to be something else causing the problem.

    Hi Demazter,

    You can add your CSV thanks to the VMM administrator console.

    You have to :
    1. Click on Fabric
    2. Right click on your cluster name
    3. Click on Properties
    4. Click on Shared Volumes

    Cheers,

    Thanks, that took it away from CSV so I had to reverse this action.

    However, that seems to have "reset" something as I can now complete the Machine Creation in XenDesktop.

    You may be able to help me with another problem though.

    I am having a problem with a Highly Available Network Configuration.

    I get the errors below and it actually prevents me setting the NIC configuration in SCVMM.  I can do it in Hyper-V manager but obviously I'd rather resolve this issue so that I can manage the system properly.

    Warning (10696)
    The host network adapter does not support the specified virtual network adapter configuration.


    Recommended Action
    Select a host network adapter that supports this configuration.


    Warning (25133)
     Selected Virtual Network Switch (Data LAN Team - Virtual Network) is not available as a highly available clustered virtual network combination.

    Recommended Action
    Please choose different highly available virtual network or if possible another one would be automatically chosen for you.


    Warning (25134)
     Selected Highly Available Virtual Machine's logical network (Data LAN Team - Virtual Network) is not available as a highly available available clustered virtual network combination.

    Recommended Action
    Please choose different logical network or set the appropriate logical networks on all nodes of the cluster.


    Warning (10692)
    VMM cannot enable or disable the MAC addresses spoofing or VM network optimization settings because the Virtual Network Adapter associated with virtual machine TEWK-XenDDC01 is not connected to a virtual network.


    Recommended Action
    Connect the virtual network adapter to a virtual network, and then try the operation again.

    Do you use VLAN in your virtual infrastructure ?

    Did you create the same virtual networks names on each host ?

    There are no VLAN's being used and the Network Names are all the same.

    I have checked and double checked.
