Changing the SCVMM server credentials is not reflected in the UI VMM status icon
You must restart the SCVMM/VMM service or server and register the SCVMM server in the VME
tab with new credentials after changing the password. The SCVMM related operations continue
to work and the VMM status icon does not change until the SVMM service is restarted.
Upgrading SCVMM 2008 to SCVMM 2012
To upgrade SCVMM 2008 to 2012 follow these steps:
1. Delete the SCVMM 2008 server credentials using HP SIM page. To delete SCVMM server
credentials, go to the HP SIM page and click Options—>VME Options—>ADD or EDIT VME
Credentials.
2. Remove or Uninstall the HP Matrix SCVMM Web Service component from the SCVMM 2008
system using Add/Remove programs.
3. Upgrade the SCVMM server to SCVMM 2012.
4. Register the SCVMM 2012 server as VME using HP SIM page. To register the SCVMM 2012
server as VME, go to the HP SIM page and click Options—>VME Options—>ADD or EDIT
VME Credentials.
User does not have the option to change the VM name in the Select VM Backup
Repository Location step of the create backup wizard.
VMM creates a backup of the VM that is in use and names it VM_name <Time_stamp>. You do
not have to explicitly perform a backup and specify the backup name. If you have already made
a backup, you can search for it based on the time it was created.
Deploying template in Hyper-V hangs at 25% and the job remains incomplete
When you deploy the template on Hyper-V and copy the VM files to the target path, other Windows
processes access those files which causes the VMM process to hang while copying the files.
To resolve this issue, perform:
1. Logon to the Hyper-V host.
2. Open the Task Manager on your system.
3. From the Windows Task Manager window, select Process.
4. Right-click the robocopy command process the particular VM, and end the process.
VMM loses connectivity to the Hyper-V nodes
The WMI provider in the Hyper-V node degrades causing the mapper memory to bloat the host
rendering to be slow.
Following are the suggested actions to follow in this scenario:
1. In case there are any raw volumes as online in the Logical Disk Manager, select the same
and make it offline.
2. Clean up the WMI repository files deleting the index and map files in the host WMI providers
and then reboot the host.
3. Execute the CHKDSK utilities for corrupted disks, and, then rebooting the system.
VMM loses communication with vCenter
If VMM loses communication (typically after an upgrade or after a SIM/VMM service restart),
VMM can’t perform any operations on the VM guests. To resolve the issue, restart the VMM service
or reregister vCenter Server in the VME settings page.
