So, I'm a wee bit stumped on this.
I've been building out my "alternative" hypervisor environments, including Xen/Hyper-V/KVM/etc, and ran into a snag on the Hyper-V side.
Started out with a pair of plain-ol 2012 R2 hyper-V servers, set up a shared volume, enabled clustering through the failover cluster manager, and built some VMs. Everything has been working great - I could migrate VMs between nodes, failovers worked, everything was going just fine. I built two Generation 2 VMs (both booting from SCSI disks), and a single Generation 1 VM (Windows 7, booting from IDE) - all worked great.
Then I finally got around to installing SCVMM in evaluation mode to learn more on that side, and ran into the problem - I can live migrate the Generation 1 VM from failover cluster manager, or from SCVMM, but I can't live migrate the Generation 2 VMs from SCVMM (only from failover cluster manager).
I'm getting:
Virtualization platform on host BLAH doesn't allow boot and system volumes to be on a disk attached to SCSI adapter. Disk at location (SCSI,0,0) must be attached to the IDE bus for the machine to boot up and work properly.
The problem is, of course, that it's a generation 2 vm - it doesn't even HAVE an IDE controller! Google searching has led me to an issue with templates and a power shell command to fix those, but this is a VM that was created and installed the old fashioned way - no template at all. It's always been a generation 2 VM. I can still migrate via the failover manager - any ideas what's going on? I'm running a total blank.
In addition - creating VMs only seems to want to allow me to create Generation 1 VMs.
I'm on Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter, with System Center 2012 SP1 - 3.1.6011.0.
