Major Issues
High Availability Hyper-V VMs with RDM/pass-through disks violating various constraints
from Hyper-V result in errors
Service provisioning or logical server VM creation or reactivation fails with a job message similar
to the following:
The operation has failed. (The start function on virtual machine
vsels_name [VM info and XML path] failed. )
Matrix OE supports High Availability (HA) Hyper-V VMs with RDM/pass-through disks, with various
constraints from Hyper-V. Violating these constraints can result in failures. Only HA VMs can have
pass-through cluster disks attached. In addition, HA VMs can only have such disks attached. The
cluster disks must be in maintenance mode prior to provisioning and activation.
Suggested action
If the error occurs when provisioning an HA VM using one or more pass-through cluster disks:
1. Using Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager select More Actions→Turn On Maintenance Mode
for the cluster disks.
2. Repeat the provisioning operation such as submitting a service create or creating a logical
server.
3. Using Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager select More Actions →Turn Off Maintenance Mode
once the VM is provisioned and the OS is deployed.
If the error occurs when reactivating the HP VM using one or more pass-through cluster disks:
1. Using Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager select More Actions→Turn On Maintenance Mode.
2. Repeat the provisioning operation.
3. Using Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager select More Actions →Turn Off Maintenance Mode
once the VM is reactivated.
Linked clone provisioning of a VM template containing shared disks does not succeed
During ESX server provisioning, errors similar to the following are displayed:
Error taking a snapshot on virtual Logical Server nnnnn. Virtual machine
is configured to use a device that prevents the snapshot operation:
Device is a SCSI controller engaged in bus-sharing.
The VM template created from an IO template specifies linked clone servers and deploys software
as an embedded shared disk. This combination is not supported.
Suggested action 1
Edit the template in IO Designer and uncheck Deploy as Linked Servers.
Suggested action 2
Select other software to deploy without an embedded shared disk, and then retry the Create Service
operation.
Provisioning of Matrix OE service fails in customization
Provisioning of Matrix OE services can fail in customization if Insight Control server provisioning
or SA deployment is attempting to join the server to an Active Directory during the OS installation.
