Operations Manager log flooded with 11903 errors due to "Virtual Hard Disk free disk space" monitor

Question
-
Management Pack: Microsoft Windows Hyper-V 2012 R2 Monitoring (7.1.10104.0)
Monitor: Virtual Hard Disk free disk spaceThere appears to be an issue with this monitor. Every hour, each of my Hyper-V servers is reporting dozens of errors similar to the following. It seems like there is a disconnect between the expected return type (integer) and the actual type (decimal) when checking the free space on VHDX files.

I'm confused.
Your response states to "re-create" the VHD free disk space monitor, but I did not create the monitor in the first place. This monitor was created by importing the Microsoft Windows Hyper-V 2012 R2 Monitoring (7.1.10104.0) management pack. Since that MP is sealed and not exportable, I don't believe there is any way that I can change the monitor.
Please correct me if I'm missing something.

Hello. People having this issue - what account your agent is running and then - what locales this account have? Does it use DOT or COMMA as a delimiter?
TIP: For checking the LocalSystem (Computer Account on agent) Regional Settings: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International
R.E.M. - YEAH!

SCOM agent is running as SYSTEM. (I used to run SCOM agents as a low-privilege domain account but eventually surrendered to "The Dark Side" due to the number of issues encountered with that approach.)

same error on 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server.Wednesday, February 12, 2014 2:52 PM

Any update on this? It has been a week since I provided the information requested by Lukasz.

It seems like this is a bug. Can anyone from Microsoft please confirm?
All I'm really looking for is a response that says either "yes, we were able to reproduce it and we've created a work item to get it fixed in a future version of the management pack" or "no, unlike a number of people on this thread, we were unable to reproduce it."
Thanks.

Same issue here. I just imported the Hyper-V 2012 R2 monitors and I'm instantly flooded with these events. My HD space is fine. Whats the word?

We are also experiencing this issue. Has there been any update since the last post?
Or is just another case of disable the monitor in SCOM because it's bugged!

A quick look in the Authoring Console shows that the matching value for the Event Level is wrong and set to a string. In the below screenshot I’ve changed the value.

I think IGfr is simply ripping his response from a similar issue listed here: http://www.opsmanager.se/2012/11/21/authoring-error-with-event-id-11903/
Seeing that this is not an event I can't see this helping.
Eitherway, has anyone managed to resolved this yet?

Hi,
I am having the same issue.
Until this is being fixed, you can disable the Monitor: Virtual

It is MP bug. I have got an answer from Microsoft that it probably will be fixed in next MP release.

As well as the errors in Event Viewer, you can also check Server Manager under Hyper-V. It looks like the monitor is trying to open Virtual Disk Drives that have .iso files attached (i.e. vmguest), the alerts in Server Manager will show which ISO's are present - it is worth going through changing the disks to "No Media" on the guests.
I have disabled the "Monitor: Virtual Hard Disk free disk space" until the bug is resolved.
