Hi all,

          I have one query and want to know can we install SCVMM 2012 SP1 in a clustered environment ?

          I want to install all the components of SCVMM 2012 SP1 in SQL cluster.

          Please help me. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vishwajeet.

I plan on replacing my vmware vCenter installation with Hyper-V. I plan on buying a host, migrate VM(s) to it, free up another host, add it to the cluster, etc.

I will have 3 host with approximately 25 VM(s). My question is where to put VMM. Can someone point me to documentation on a standard 3 host configuration with a highly available VMM? I have a couple physical machines I can put it on as well.

In vCenter I ran a virtual vCenter with SQL express. I understand SQL Express is no longer an option with 2012 SCVMM, but is anyone running a virtual VMM with a single VM for both VMM and SQL?

I am currently looking into using SCVMM 2012 to replace vmware lab manager that we currently use to allow student to connect to and do their computer labs(non MOAC, just beginning OS labs). I was wondering what the best approach would be. We have licences for just about everything so product shouldn't be an issue. 

What I want is for the students to be able to connect through a website, run the vms in their course only. the vms need to be networked together with no access to the outside or other student configurations. They need to have access to ISO's for a couple installations. Since these are begging computer students it has to be as simple as possible. 

I would be great if there was a walk through on how to get this done and what components I will need. Please be as descriptive as possible. I am not that familiar with System Center. So far all I seem to be able to do is install SVCMM successfully using Hyper-V. Just need to know what else I can do to get this to function the way I need it to. I am open to other suggestions or options. We need to host this and not have another company host it. We do not have the money to spend on it and we already spent a bunch of money to get the servers for vmware LM.

Hi Guys,

I am having some problem with SCVMM  2012 SP1. it keep crashing and restarting now and then recently. Anyone facing this problem?

This is what I found in the event log after the error.

Dear all,

After installing scvmm2012 I run the MBCA 2.0 and I got the following error:

Category: Configuration

Source: gvascvmm02.europe.loc

Issue: The Service Principal Names (SPNs) that VMM requires were not correctly registered when the VMM management server was set up on the specified server. This is a known issue in System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager.

Impact: The VMM console may not be able to connect to the VMM management server and/or deploying a Hyper-V host to a bare-metal computer may not work.

Resolution: Manually add the SPNs that are required by VMM by running the following commands as an administrator at an elevated command prompt:
1. setspn -A SCVMM/yourmachine -U domain\account
2. setspn -A SCVMM/yourmachine.fqdn.com -U domain\account

I have done the following to solve it :

setspn -A SCVMM/gvascvmm02 -U europe\gvascvmmservice2

setspn -A SCVMM/gvascvmm02.europe.loc -U europe\gvascvmmservice2

and error still there.

i have also list all spn for that accounts :

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the Virtual Machine Serviing Tool 2012: when I try to configure the tool I am asked for the VMM 2012 server and the SCCM 2012 server. But my SCVMM server is not accepted ("Could not connect to System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager server"). The account that I use has administrative rights on the SCVMM (Domain Admin). It is also not firewall related (does also not work when the firewall is turned off). The Servicing Tool is installed on the SCVMM server. My SCVMM is SCVMM 2012 SP1.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Bernd

Hi,

When installing SCVMM 2012 SP1 on Windows Server 2012, we have this error when setting service account ("Configure service account and distributed key management" screen):

"The domain account specified for the service account could not be verified. Ensure that domain name, user name, and password are correct, and then try the operation again ....."

This does not make any sense. Our service account is local admin on the server, we can logon to the server with this account also. Even our domain admin guys tried their own username and passwords but the result is the same. The server can communicate with AD, we have tried logging in with new accounts successfully. The server can also resolve other servers names, so DNS is ok too. Tried with Windows Firewall on and off, UAC on and off, with no success.

We are trying to get past this error for hours but could not find a solution. Any help appreciated.

Hello.

I'm evaluating the use of SP1. So far so good, except for silently installing the console on out technicians computers. We managed to do so with the 2012 RTM version, but with the 2012 SP1 RTM version we are having some problems. We are using this command

"%~dp0setup.exe" /client /i /f "%~dp0amd64\Setup\VMClient.ini"

But the installation stops early, and the logs say:

vmstpstub entered
Run SetupVM.exe
start /wait SetupVM.exe /spawned /SetupLocation "E:\amd64\3082\LaunchScreen.DLL\..\..\\" /i /client     
start /wait SetupVM.exe /spawned /SetupLocation  "E:\amd64\3082\LaunchScreen.DLL\..\..\\" /i /client
Error : Setup failed, error 15
Delete "E:\amd64\3082\LaunchScreen.DLL\..\..\\"

I have tried using absolute paths, using a network share, a mounted iso, a local path. Also tried not specifying a ini file.

If we try to install it manually it works perfectly. We are deploying on Windows 7 SP1 x64 Enterprise machines.

Any help?

Hi

I am trying to upgrade my SCVMM 2012 installation to SP1.

My old installation was on Windows Server 2008 R2 so I have built a new dedicated Windows 2012 Server to run SCVMM 2012 SP1.

I have uninstalled SCVMM 2012 from the old server and selected the Retain Data option.

When I try to install SCVMM 2012 SP1 onto the Windows 2012 server, I enter the name of my SQL Server and the installation detects the existing database without a problem.  However, after a few minutes of the install starting, rolls back with the following error:

'Virtual Machine Manager Setup cannot create a backup of the existing database.  Verify that you have necessary rights to backup the Virtual Machine Manager database, and then restart Setup.'

It seems that no matter what account I use, it fails at this point every time.  I have even created a brand new Domain account and given it full sysadmin server role and db_owner and db_backupoperator rights to the VirtualManagerDB database.

I am running the database on SQL Server 2012 SP1. I have seen that there is no mention of official support for SP1 on SQL 2012 but there was also no mention of SQL 2012 for SCVMM 2012 and that worked without a problem, and continued to work fine after applying SP1 to SQL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are reinstalling VMM to use the db on a SQL 2012 server instead of SQL 2008.

We have reached the point in the reinstall that it was to setup library shares.

I am not able to use the existing nor create a new one and continue with the next button.

It just sits there and does nothing.  If I chose new share and use MSSCVMMLibrary, its says it already exists.   If I pick a new location no error but pressing NEXT does nothing.

How do I solve this?

Thanks

Thanks Lance

The problem is this, I want to SCVMM08 upgrade to 2012, when I was in the process of installing SCVMM 2012 R2, the prompt "does not support the selected database upgrade.

My DBServer is SQL 2008 R2 SP2,VMM Server is Windows Server 2012 R2

thanks

Hi,

Someone tried to upgrade SCVMM 2012 R2 preview to the RTM version ?

Thanks!

Hello,

I cannot find the technet information page on how to upgrade from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to R2.

The pages for SCOM, SCO, SCCM exists, but nothing for SCVMM.

Do anyone give me an insight on how can I perform it?

MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010 MCTS: Lync Server 2010, Configuring MCSE

The System Requirements for SCVMM 2012 R2 mentions installing Management Complete components for SQL Server. Is VMM DB supported running SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012 core (given that this doesn't include Management client GUI tools)?

Hi all,

We have a 4-nodes Hyper-V 3 cluster configured and SCVMM 2012 SP1 newly installed.

We added the cluster in SCVMM. Agent deployment looks ok but with have a failure for each hosts.

At step 1.6 Install Virtual Switch Extensions:

Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the <HOST FQDN> server: NO_PARAM: NO_PARAM.
WinRM: URL: [http://<HOST FQDN>:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetError], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/microsoft/bits/BitsClientJob?JobId={A7823E3D-5AF8-4B39-8C5E-7103CA9AD3A5}]
Unknown error (0x80072f06)
Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server <HOST FQDN>. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If <HOST FQDN> is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed and running.

All our deployment went ok except this little error we don't understand.

WinRM's configuration is fine and we didn't configure anything about virtual switch extension in VMM.

Any Idea ?

Regards.
