Deploying ASM on Hyper-V host

To deploy ASM on Hyper-V host:

1. Open Hyper-V Manager in the Windows 2012 host. The Windows 2012 host should be displayed

under Hyper-V Manager.

2. Select the host and select Action → Import Virtual Machine.

3. Select the folder containing ASM virtual appliance including snapshots, virtual hard disks, virtual

machines, and import files. Click Next.

4. On the Select Virtual Machine page, select the virtual machine to import (there is only one option

available), and then click Next.

5. On the Choose Import Type page, select Copy the virtual machine, and then click Next.

6. On the Choose Destination page, retain the default values or select the location of the virtual

machine, snapshot, and smart paging, and click Next.

7. On the Choose Storage Folders page, retain the default values or click Browse and select the

location of virtual hard disks, and then click Next.

8. On the Summary page, review the options you selected on earlier pages, and then click Finish to

deploy ASM virtual appliance on the Hyper-V host.

9. After ASM virtual appliance is deployed, right-click ASM virtual appliance, and then click Settings.

10. In the Settings wizard, to enable the virtual switch, select VM-Bus Network Adapter. Optionally,

provide a VLAN ID, if the host is tagged on a particular network, and then click OK.

11. Select ASM virtual appliance, and then click Start under Actions.

Rectifying mounting errors during Hyper–V deployment

For Hyper-V Cluster deployment, if the cluster configuration fails to mount the disk and create the cluster

storage volume:

Error 01

SCVMM reports DNS error during mounting of the available storage on SCVMM cluster. This is due to

intermittent network failure during the mounting operation.

Resolution

Retry the deployment, so that ASM can retry to mount the volumes.

Error 02

SCVMM reports DNS error during mounting of the available storage on SCVMM cluster. Trying to reuse an

existing volume used in another Hyper-V cluster.

Resolution

Hyper-V or SCVMM does not allow mounting a volume which is used in another cluster (Active /

Inactive). ASM does not format already formatted volume to avoid any data loss.

In case an existing volume is used for cluster configuration, ASM fails the cluster deployment to avoid the

data loss. To configure the volume to be used in this cluster, do the following:
