Answered P2V Failure Error

    I have a hyperv cluster windows 2008 r2 enterprise edition. I wanted to some P2V conversion so I installed the SCVMM 2008 R2 on another server which is a member of the same domain as the hyperv cluster. During a test P2V, the job fails with this error,

    --------

    VMM is unable to complete the requested file transfer. The connection to the HTTP server <server> could not be established.
     (Unknown error (0x80072ee2))

    Recommended Action
    Ensure that the HTTP service and/or the agent on the machine <server> are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTPS traffic

    --------

    When I choose to restart the job it says it cannot find the path X:\VmName . How do i resolve this error. The path is supposed to be the location where I wanted to place the VM during the failed P2V. I have checked the path and actually the X:\VmName folder does exist.  (The folder was created by the failed P2V Job) Why is it giving me not found error then?

    I thought that maybe VMM does not want the folder as it maybe trying to create it as the first job did, so I went to the storage path and tried to delete the folder but I got the error that it cannot delete because it is in use by VMM.

    So two questions, First how do I resolve this 2nd error? so I can restart the job or run from scratch.

    Second question, how do I resolve the original error?

    As to the original error let me add that SCVMM was installed on an exchange server where the defualt website is in use by exchange.

    All servers are in the same domain, and firewalls were already off on all machines.

    Hello,

    Can you excute on cmd "Netstat -an" to show the ports used on the client and SCVMM server.

    SCVMM use HTTPS 443 for the P2V.

    VMM Server exceptions needed:

      • 80 (HTTP, WS-MAN)
      • 443 (HTTPS, BITS)
      • 8100 (WCF Connections to PowerShell or Admin Console)

    if you get an error about the conflicting SSL cert on 443, these are the steps that we recommed (we'll improve this story in the upcoming SP1 release)

    1.       Go to Regedit->HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Server\Settings

    2.       Create a new DWORD reg entry named “P2VBITSTcpPort” and give it a decimal value of say 3043 or any other port that is not being used on the host machine.

    3.       Go to system services (services.msc) and restart Virtual Machine Manager service.

    Alternatively, you can run > httpcfg.exe query ssl

    to find if the cert is still bound to port :443 run >

    httpcfg.exe delete ssl -i <ip-address>

    to delete the binding

    Also check if you have any error with the Disk, try to create and deploy some new VMs to that disk or changed the storage location to local

    I found that I had to open port 8500 on the destination host to fix this.

    That is a change from the default behavior. I have not figured out why yet. This recently started happening to us.
