@phlipelder said in Hyper-V Server 2016 guest licensing question:

The guests on an OEM licensed host can be moved to another host whether it's licensed OEM, VL, or Retail so long as the destination host is licensed to receive those guests.

That makes no sense. That's not moving it, that's buying it twice. Very different things.

That's like "can I move my house from here to there"? People mean take the same house and shift its location. Not buy a second house in the new location and give up the old one.

Also, in the followup post on the blog they actually do another interesting lab that requires this first bit.

I buy Microsoft licenses when something stops working...

No but seriously

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.

@JaredBusch dumb question: did you check all services are up and running?

systemctl status | grep hv │ │ └─10000 grep --color=auto hv ├─hv-kvp-daemon.service │ └─563 /usr/lib/linux-tools/4.8.0-49-generic/hv_kvp_daemon -n ├─hv-vss-daemon.service │ └─577 /usr/lib/linux-tools/4.8.0-49-generic/hv_vss_daemon -n

on my ubuntu machines the fcopy is always down. don't know why... but I do not need it.
May be somthing is not running and hyperv badly detects the event

Configuring MPIO to automatically claim all iSCSI devices

Enable-MSDSMAutomaticClaim -BusType iSCSI

and after a lot of episodes, I've fixed the thing.

please let me state this again: I HAVE.

I.

Not the HPE support, not the reseller tech support.

I HAVE.

I = An almost idiot ex-embedded sw developer illogically cast into the sysadmin role of a non-sense company!

TL; DR:
there was a mismatch between OS version, bios version, controllers firmware version, controller drivers version. Selecting the right combination has (apprarently) fixed the issue!

how storage controllers affect reboot signals is still a mistery... but actually all was related to the smart paging I mentioned before. Moving it from the default location caused all the issues.
I have discovered the "bug" recreating a new vm with copy-pasted hdd but with hypervisor defaults... 2 twins VM one running one not... only difference: location of the smart paging file. XD

From a high level it reads simpler than what had to be done with Server 2012 R2.

Still not sure I would use it in production though.

The thing that points to there not being anything to worry about, while lacking the "unlimited" is a bit odd, is that those with limits say that there are limits. It doesn't say unlimited, but it does give a limit, either.

Old thread but I just found this out after wasting a few hours last evening trying to get Hyper-V 2016 on my Dell 2950 lab server. Processors need to support SLAT

@Dashrender said in Are MS Windows Update servers capped to 10mbps:

I definitely haven't had a cap while downloading updates, I'm pegging my 100 mb down pipe.

Right, but then the sad thing is why was the download taking so long if I was only seeing the backup running.. F'n windows update process.....

yep.. the process lies about what's going on.. I think there must be some type of post download processing going on, but it's still listed at downloading, but the network speed shows no download happening.
