  • While migrating a virtual machine with a volume, gave an invalid volume to pool mapping; that is give a mapping for migrating a volume from shared to local or vice-verse. The operation should fail.
  • Try live migrating a volume of a vm on a local storage. It should not be allowed.
  • Live volume migration or live virtual machine migration with volume is a time consuming operation. When migration is going on, take the destination storage pool offline. Migration should fail and vm and its volume should be retained on the source host and storage pool respectively.

Support-ability Characteristics

Logs can be looked up at the following location

  • Management server logs for decisions on which host and storage pools can be used. All the requests forwarded to the Hyper-V agent can also be seen here.
  • The Hyper-V agent logs can be seen in windows event viewer on the respective hosts. The logs can be filtered by source "CloudStack Hyper-V Agent".
  • Hyper-V specific logs can be viewed in the event viewer under "Application and Services Logs" >> Microsoft >> Windows >> "Hyper-V-VMMS".
  • what new logging (or at least the important one) is introduced
  • how to debug and troubleshoot
  • what are the audit events 
  • list JMX interfaces

Configuration Characteristics

  • By default a Hyper-V host allows only 2 simultaneous storage migration requests. The configuration parameter may be configured on a hyper-v host to a higher or lower value; but it is recommended to not to do so.
  • After a request is forwarded to a resource; the agent will wait for "wait" *2 (global config parameter) seconds for the request to complete. Storage motion can take a long time and may not complete in "wait" *2 seconds. The global config parameter "wait" can be configured if that is the case.

Users Communities

  • Only a root admin can migrate a volume from one storage pool to another.
  • Only a root admin can migration a virtual machine with its volume.
