SMHV on 2012 core

a_jasewicz — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:42:24 GMT

We are in the process of migrating from VMware to Hyper-v. My question is on SMHV. The VM team has decided to run 2012 core and the storage protocol is SMB3. cDOT 8.3.2P1, SD 7.1.3P1, SMHV 2.1.1. I believe I have everything configured correctly. I am running SMHV from a 3rd server, administrative, that is running full 2012. In SMHV, on the administrative system, I am able to add the cluster, it sees the two cluster nodes and all the VM’s on the cluster. The issue arises when running the “Configuration Wizard” I get this error “StorageConnectionControl: An error occurred while processing SDGetStorageConnection request Object reference not set to an instance of an object”. I am able to set the SnapInfo directory which places the environment in a “configured” state, however when invoking the “SnapInfo Settings” a second time the correct SMB path is displayed but the SAN radio button is picked not the NAS. Does anyone have an idea what that error means, I could find not search hits on it? Do I have a valid configuration?

Can you try Downgrade SD 7.1.3P1 to SD 7.1.1 and check.

Thanks

That was the fix downgrading to SD 7.1.1. Sorry it took so long I was tied up with other issues. For some reason I am unable to select "Accept as Solution" or Kudos. I have tried 3 different borwsers and other coomputers and networks. It must be something I am doing, what I do not know.
