Hello,

i have a little weird problem.. i have imported a Windows Server 2012R2 machine from VMWare ESXI, without any problem.

the vm startup up and working on that.

but since when i have migrate the machine to a another node i have a weird problem.

the machine is pingable, but i can't using with RDP ore in de VNC client i doesn't see he is startup. it is really that machine that me a pingable that is very strange.

is your machine booting until login screen?
what you might try in addition: change from UEFI to BIOS to see if the VM boots afterwards

 

[rvdk92]

Hi, no its not booting until login screen.. he hanging on the picture..

In BIOS settings he doesn't find a bootdevice.

 

[showiproute]

Hello,

have you selected the boot device in the VM option?

With Windows boot problems usually changing IDE to SATA or vice versa helps.

What happens when you detach the disk?

 

[rvdk92]

Same problem.. i have try all of this options.. but what is the reason that i can ping the device??

 

[showiproute]

Have you verified that the address that you ping has the same MAC as mentioned in the VM config?

 

[rvdk92]

Yes, also when i hem set the networkinterface on disable the ping are not responding.

Have you passed through any GPU to the VM?

What you might try in addition:
Mount the VM disk as SATA instead of IDE and change from UEFI to BIOS.

 

[rvdk92]

Have you passed through any GPU to the VM?

Yes, the default and VMWare comaptible.

 

[showiproute]

No sorry, I was talking about GPU passthrought via PCIe.
As then you are unable to use NoVNC or Spice.

Yes i have done that, but than i wasn't to boot.. i get a boot error.

 

[showiproute]

Yes i have done that, but than i wasn't to boot.. i get a boot error.

Is it the same boot error as mentioned in the screenshot or a different one?

 

[rvdk92]

Is it the same boot error as mentioned in the screenshot or a different one?

No than this error:

 

[showiproute]

Okay - so leave the VM disk as SATA and then go to the VM options and select the SATA as your one and only boot device.

This is very strange.. i have backup's of the machine..

when I start a backup restore on 3 nodes it does not start ..

if I do a backup restore on 1 of the 4 nodes (temporary server) it just starts!

I migrate it back to 1 of those other nodes that is no longer working! settings are the same?

 

[showiproute]

Hmm and on all your nodes the hardware names are exactly the same?
E.g. the network interfaces name is vmbr0 on all of your nodes?
