      @siringo Right-click the VM, select Move, fill out the wizard. It's quick, easy, and can be done live.

      @travisdh1 thanks so much for the help, sounds like I'll be going ahead with this.

      Thanks again.

      Conversely, I over-allocated vCPUs across several VMs (ESXi) when I was new to type 1 hypervisors and ran into performance issues associated with high CPU ready times. After scaling down, performance improved dramatically.

      I gave up on using hyperv manager and used Windows Admin Center instead.

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/understand/windows-admin-center

      Not sure if I had mentioned it, but that's what we normally used but it broke first. Then we went to Hyper-V manager and it was broken as well. WAC is our normal tool for this stuff.

      There are a lot of options rather than spending weeks figuring out such a dumb issue.

      Having to bring in a local tech or get a swing machine are actually much more intensive than looking at it remotely for a while. But seems doubtful that it will take weeks. Only has had a few minutes of being looked at, and only today.

      Oh, didn't realize it was like that. No local IT, no other available infrastructure or anything kind of limits things a lot.

      Yeah, a LOT. If we were local and it was one of two (or more) machines, yeah, we'd happily reinstall. As it is, we are scared of the backup device failing. Which isn't terrible as it is ONLY a backup device. But taking the server offline... we are pretty dependent on it.

      Reading the Veeam Backup Free Edition it appears it installs the console on windows Server or Windows Desktop. Does that sound right? I installed Altaro on the Hyper-V host itself. I don't know which setup would be better though. Comments appreciated.

      Yes, it goes on Windows.

      At least you get 5 VMs, but the 5Nines gives you 6..

      I'll bring it back around and say that now that I've gotten past the couple of annoying obstacles with Hyper-V and remote management, Hyper-V is freaking awesome. It seems lightning fast.

      The annoying thing for me is the versioning needed to manage hyper-v. Example: For Hyper-V 2016 you need a windows 10 machine to manage it.

      No you don't.

      You can pay for stuff to manage it, but I mean it doesn't automatically allow that

      Windows 7+ with RSAT.

      I just did that at my last job and it didn't allow it

      I used Hyper-V 2016 with Win7 RSAT before I loaded Win10.

      Hm. I should try it again I guess at home

      @dashrender Does your host support HTML5 iDRAC? I'm a big fan of it over the old java stuff.

      Sadly no. I think that became available to iDRAC7 (I saw a mention of an update for iDRAC 7 that made it like iDRAC9, which I only assume means it's HTML5).

      I didn't read the other replies before making mine - but we all had the same info.

      @jaredbusch said in Appropriate Use of Hyper-V Checkpoints:

      @eddiejennings said in Appropriate Use of Hyper-V Checkpoints:

      With this upcoming project of virtualizing our production stuff, I've been thinking through the appropriate use of checkpoints. I'm sure there are other articles on this, but this seemed to be a good read.

      My grand idea is that checkpoints would be used before installing Windows updates or some upgrade to an application. You take the checkpoint, apply the update, and if everything breaks, you apply the checkpoint. If nothing breaks, then you delete the checkpoint.

      I'm curious how this would be handled with a SQL Server VM or Redis VM. You'd update your VM, transactions start happening, then things break causing you to have to apply the checkpoint. Any transactions that were done would be lost, which upon further thinking probably doesn't matter, since you probably couldn't trust any data put into the database while the stuff was in the process of breaking.

      You have to make sure you don’t have transactions coming in. Simple as that. Anything is a headache waiting to happen.

      Makes sense. When I do maintenance on these normally, I stop IIS once downtime’s been announced, then do my work. So I’d just take the checkpoints at that point. I imagine once stuffs back up and I confirm things aren’t broken, Hyper-V just handles merging the avhdx file in such a way that SQL Server, etc is none the wiser. Or is there significant risk of stuff breaking if it’s running while that merge process takes place?

      No real risk. Just performance loss.

      And never enought to matter to any SMB workload I have ever had to deal with.

      ObsolesceO

      Right, NIC Teaming is not a Hyper-V feature. There is almost no reason to do it that way.

      Also, you don't want to use "Hyper-V" load balancing after Windows Server 2012. Starting with 2012 R2, Dynamic is the preferred algorithm. Only in super rare cases would you use any other algorithm.

      @matteo-nunziati said in windows server updates: critical/cumulative/security:

      ok,

      I'm still confused about the terminology. Please, can you confirm and/or fix my interpretation?

      critical: not a security fix, but something seriously broken is fixed here. security: a security fix, something seriously broken is fixed here and a security hole is closed. cumulative: just use this if you have missed a lot of stuff and you have a long queue updates otherwise. Download this bulk huge fatty thing and align with upstream. all other types... really too many types here, do they really worth?

      Now the second question.

      Having an hyperv server 2016 should I need to install critical fixes? I mean: if I do not notice any misfunction should I patch? to me it is right to patch as you never know when a critical bug will hit your usage.

      Also, as a general rule I patch manually and I always require recommended updates only. Then I choose what to install.

      any opinion/correction/suggestion?!

      thank you.

      I do at least Critical, security, and definition updates to all servers, hypervisors included.
      For Windows10 desktops, I do everything.

      But I do it all through WSUS.

      As for Homelab 3 node scenario, you could choose either 3-way or 2-way replication.
      3-Way replication means you have 3 copies of the data across all three hosts. 2-way replication in 3 node cluster means that:
      target1 is on Node1 & Node2
      target2 is on Node2 & Node3
      target3 is on Node3 & Node1

      And there is no need to partition the drive. We'll place a container file and mirror them across nodes.

      Since i've previously attempted on testing the VTL to Cloud Replicator, I would like to mention that there can be a possible error in the process. Just so noone rings the alarm beforehand, it's quite simple to overcome the "Setup failed to install Microsoft .NET Core. Error 3010" by either rebooting the node, or installing the .NET core before installing StarWind.

      After getting in touch with them, I was actually surprised that they were kind enough to take that into account in one of their future releases and mention to have that fixed.

      I should add that this is not exactly true. "Windows Dedupe" is not available in Hyper-V, which might sound obvious, as it is a Windows feature. But Hyper-V does have ReFS which has a new feature in 2016 that is not called dedupe but acts like a really light dedupe option. So while "Windows Dedupe" is not available, there is a dedupe technology available to use. But it's not a great one, it's super basic. But it also has like zero overhead, so can be pretty nice to use even if it doesn't do a lot.
