P2V failure on cluster
-
quinta-feira, 3 de maio de 2012 20:23
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 Hard Stone,
For the error code you are facing please follow the link.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/virtualmachinemgrp2vv2v/thread/759358d7-a860-4edb-974d-f47f0bb414e5
>none of the websites were listening on port 443
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 bindingFirst you will undo the failed job, then try again.
Is there any IIS on VMM Server?
Sincerely,
Murat Demirkiran

Thanks Murat for your reply,
Yes there is an IIS on VMM server. I already mentioned that I am installing VMM on our existing exchange 2007 server. So of course IIS is there.
Secondly , can you please advise me how to resolve the second error? I will repeat it below,
-----------------
"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."
-----------------
Untill I resolve this error I can't get back to the stage where I got the first error!

Murat,
I was able to undo the failed job and start over again. However even though I made the changes in registry by adding P2VBITSTcpPort key and setting it to 3043, also restarted VMM service but I still get the same error.
"VMM is unable to complete the requested file transfer. The connection to the HTTP server <HostServerName> could not be established. (Unknown error (0x80072ee2)) "
What I don't understand is why it is looking for http/https on the host server. The hyperv host obviously does not have IIS on it.
Not sure what to do now?

Hello Hard Stone ,
File transfer is done by BITS.
Please check for the following links for ports.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg710871.aspx
Do you have any firewall between VMM and P2V Source and P2V Destination ?
VMM management server to P2V source agent (control channel) DCOM 135 BITS port for VMM transfers (data channel) BITS 443 VMM host-to-host file transfer BITS 443 (Maximum value: 32768) VMM management server to in-guest agent (VMM to virtual machine data channel) HTTPS (using BITS) 443 VMM management server to P2V source agent (data channel) BITS User-Defined Sincerely,

Thanks murat,
There is no firewall. even the windows firewall on all servers is turned off. What I am wondering is if there is any issue in colocating vmm server on exchange server ?? is there a conflict in IIS because of that?
And why is vmm looking for http on host server when it is supposed to use bits?

Hello,
You are having problem because the bindings of IIS conflicts with Exchange.
As above i try to explain that the file transfer is done by http/https .
Also VMM with other Service is not supported.
I suggest you to test this problem with installing VMM in different place like VM.
Sincerely,
Murat Demirkiran

Actually, I found that there was also a defaulte gateway issue on my source machine. After changing that the P2V seems to work and the file copy starts. Previously file copy didnot start.
However, now I have a new error, after file copy is finished , at the next step "make operating system virtualizable", another error occurs. This one is related to WinRM I think.
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact an agent on the 'HostServerName' server. (Unknown error (0x80072f0d))Recommended Action
Ensure the agent is installed and running. Ensure the WS-Management service is installed and running, then restart the agent.I have checked and the WS-Management service is running on both host server and VMM server.

Still getting errors in my P2V, eve n after I did the following,
1. I removed (un-installed) scvmm from the exchange server machine where it was installed, before doing this I also removed the host cluster from the vmm server.
2. I checked my host machines in the host cluster and the vmm agent was gone automatically.
3. I prepared a brand new machine with fresh windows 2008R2 and installed fresh SCVMM 2008R2. I chose non default ports, 445 for https and 81 for HTTP.
4. I added the host cluster to the NEW vmm server. I verified that all the host servers got NEW vmm agents.
5. I tried P2V again and still got another error!!!
6. The Error occurs after file copy is finished at the next step "make operating system virtualizable".
This is the error,
Error (2927)
A Hardware Management error has occurred trying to contact server "HostServerName". (Unknown error (0x8033811e))I checked the error and it seems to be WinRM related to so I ran "WinRM Quickconfig" command on both host and vmm servers. The command completes but trying the P2V still fails with same error.
I am at my wits end as to what to do now???

Hi Hard stone,
Beg my pardon,
Target machine that you want to P2V , What is the OS and SP level?

Although I used the latest available download to get the scvmm installer, I am now wondering if I have the VMM 2008R2 with Sp1 or not? How can I check for this? to make sure which version is installed?
My hosts are windows 2008 R2 Sp1.

Hello ,
You can check the version from VMMAdmin.exe.
Also you can make P2V by Disk2VHD.

Another question, How many P2V jobs can I run simultaneously? Can i convert 2 or 3 physical servers at the same time using the same scvmm server?

Hello Hard Stone,
There is no documentation about this.
But i think it depends on Network Bandwidth and Disk I/O.

Hi Hard Stone and Murat,
Did you rule out antivirus on the Hyper-V machine, it might prevent you from creating the new virtual machine.
Guidance on configuring antivirus can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961804
