Hyper-V VMs in Stopping Critical State
-
Hello guys,
i ve been in trouble with hyper v on ws 2012 r2.. the issue is that when i restart my server Hyper-v Virtual machine management service takes an eternity to stop, so i hard reboot.. after that my machines are in runnig state.. also when i try to shutdown my vm-s, their state goes to stopping critical.. any ideas would be helpful..
thanks -
Anything in the logs?

Definitely the best place to start.
-
Have you tried going into the task manager and killing the processes of the VMs?
-
nothing in the logs.. yes i tried to kill, nothing happened

You're killing
VMWP.EXE? -
@wirestyle22 yes
-
Is there anything running on your Hyper-V host other than the Hyper-V utilities? Lots of things can cause Hyper-V to pause if installed alongside.
-
@Alket_tux It successfully terminates the process but still shows itself as stopping critical? What does 'nothing happened' mean?
-
@wirestyle22 i rebooted the server, and i have been 30 minutes now just seeing shutting downservice: hyper-v machine management*
-
@Reid-Cooper no, nothing, team viewer only
-
@Alket_tux Can you turn off that service and attempt to reboot?
-
@wirestyle22 it means that the state of the vm is running again, it just does not show the resources allocated to it
-
@wirestyle22 i tried to do that, but it did not stop, it remained in stopping state.. and in the logs it showed that the vm-s were running so this service cannot be stoppoed
-
i have not inserted integration services manually but yesterday everything worked fine..
by the way i have emulex nic's and in google i found that it might be a problem -
@Alket_tux I also found NIC related issues listed
-
@wirestyle22 i found some kb related solutions but haven't applied yet
-
@Alket_tux From what I've been reading they didn't help. Hopefully yours is different. What VM's are you running? OS's and everything
-
@wirestyle22 windows server 2012 r2 my primary server
hyper v role on top of it
6 ws2012 r2 vm's created -
@Alket_tux all working fine until yesterday, when i left my office and let windows update
on all servers
