Due to WMI changes on Hyper-V Server 2012 R2, you need to use following script to get Virtual Machine info.

Usage of this script:

Get-VMGuestInfo -VMName TEST01 -HyperVHost VMHOSTT01

That will output like:

VMName      : TEST01
VMHost      : VMHOSTT01
VMState     : Running
VMOSName    : Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
VMOSVersion : 6.1.7601
VMHostname  : TEST01.domain.contoso.com

This script also works on Hyper-V Server 2012 without R2.

You can check all reverse DNS records with DNS records with following script to see if they are equal:

1
2

$Servers = Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName contoso.domain.com
 
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
	# Clear Values
	$ServerName = $Null;
	$DNSName = $Null;
	$DNSHostName = $Null;
	$DNSIPAddress = $Null;
	$ReverseDNSHostName = $Null;
 
	# Resolve DNS Name
	$ServerName = $Server.HostName
	$DNSName = (Resolve-DnsName $ServerName)
 
	if ($DNSName)
	{	
		# Get Reverse DNS Name
		$DNSHostName = $DNSName.Name
		$DNSIPAddress = $DNSName.IPAddress
		$ReverseDNSHostName = ([System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByAddress("$DNSIPAddress")).HostName
 
		if ($DNSHostName -eq $ReverseDNSHostName -and $ReverseDNSHostName -ne $Null)
		{
			Write-Host "."
		}
		else
		{
			$Output = $DNSHostName + ";" + $ReverseDNSHostName
			Write-Host $Output
		}
	}
	else
	{
		Write-Host "Cannot resolve $ServerName"
	}
}

If they are not equal, that will output results.
You should run this script on a Windows Server 2012/R2 DNS server with elevated privileges.

You can use following function to get EMC Disk Numbers via PowerPath:

1

function Get-EMCDiskNumber
{
	param ($DiskID)
 
	function Get-PowerMtOutput
	{	
		# Get Powermt Output
		$Outputs = powermt display dev=all
 
		# Create Hash Table
		$Properties = New-Object Psobject
 
		foreach ($Output in $Outputs)
		{
			# Clear Variables
			$DiskNumber = $Null;
			$DiskID = $Null;
 
			if ($Output -ne "")
			{
				if ($Output -match 'Pseudo name=harddisk(?<Name>\d+)') { $DiskNumber = $Matches["Name"] }
				if ($Output -match 'Logical device ID=(?<ID>\w+)') { $DiskID = $Matches["ID"] }
 
				if ($DiskID) { $Properties | Add-Member Noteproperty DiskID $DiskID }
				if ($DiskNumber) { $Properties | Add-Member Noteproperty DiskNumber $DiskNumber }
			}
			else
			{
				# Output Data
				Write-Output $Properties
 
				# Create New Hash Table
				$Properties = New-Object Psobject
			}
		}
	}
 
	if ($DiskID)
	{
		Get-PowerMtOutput | Where { $_.DiskID -eq $DiskID }
	}
	else
	{
		Get-PowerMtOutput
	}
}

If you know Disk ID, you can use it:

Usage:

Get-EMCDiskNumber -DiskID "11E40"

Also you can display all disk names and ids:

Usage:

Get-EMCDiskNumber

That will output disk informations.

You have a Hyper-V Cluster and you use vHBA on your virtual machines?
Then you may be familiar with this error after restart your virtual machine:

TestVM: Virtual port (C003FF4CC9C5003D) creation failed with a NPIV error (Virtual machine ID 12BE2D01-D693-4488-AA5F-3715CBDA4F10)

Technet gives 2 reasons for that error as a possible cause:

Virtual Port creation failure because the WWPN is still in use because of:
· HBA failing to remove virtual port
· Host unresponsiveness

You can check documentation from here:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18698.hyper-v-virtual-fibre-channel-troubleshooting-guide.aspx

Only solution in that case is restarting your Hyper-V server or changing WWNN and WWPN addresses of virtual machine.
But i don’t like both ways because it takes more operator time and requires more service downtime..

So I went a little bit deeper to see what may be the reason. Because I was not able to start my virtual machine.
I installed QLogic SanSurfer on my Hyper-V host to check Physical HBA and Virtual Ports.

Then I noticed something:

Step1

My Virtual Machine was off, but its virtual port was still active on server.
After discovering that, removed that virtual port via QLogic Tools.

Step2

It worked like a charm! I was able to start my virtual machine again.
So I wrote a PowerShell script to find other inactive vHBA ports and remove them.

First, download Hyper-V vHBA PowerShell Module and put it into PowerShell Modules Directory.

Hyper-V vHBA PowerShell Module

You can query your inactive vHBA ports with following command:

Get-InactiveFCVirtualPort

If you want to query a remote Hyper-V server, use following command:

Get-InactiveFCVirtualPort -ComputerName RemoteServerName

That will give you inactive ports as an output:

ComputerName : VMHOST36
vHBAWWNN     : C0:03:FF:00:00:FF:FF:00
vHBAWWPN     : C0:03:FF:F1:25:95:00:0B
pHBAWWNN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:A1
pHBAWWPN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:A0
 
ComputerName : VMHOST36
vHBAWWNN     : C0:03:FF:00:00:FF:FF:00
vHBAWWPN     : C0:03:FF:F1:25:95:00:09
pHBAWWNN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:A3
pHBAWWPN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:A2

You can use following command to remove all inactive virtual ports:

Remove-InactiveFCVirtualPort

Of course you can also remove inactive virtual ports on remote server:

Remove-InactiveFCVirtualPort -ComputerName RemoteServerName

After that you should be able to start your virtual machine.

RemovePortsSS

You can also list your all virtual ports and their virtual machine information:

PS C:\Users\yusufozt> Get-FCVirtualPort
 
ComputerName : localhost
VMName       : VMDB01
VMState      : Running
VMSanName    : Switch_A
VMSanSet     : Set A
vHBAWWNN     : C0:03:FF:00:00:FF:FF:00
vHBAWWPN     : C0:03:FF:F1:25:95:00:04
pHBAWWNN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:1F
pHBAWWPN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:1E
 
ComputerName : localhost
VMName       : VMDB01
VMState      : Running
VMSanName    : Switch_B
VMSanSet     : Set A
vHBAWWNN     : C0:03:FF:00:00:FF:FF:00
vHBAWWPN     : C0:03:FF:F1:25:95:00:06
pHBAWWNN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:1D
pHBAWWPN     : 50:06:0B:00:00:C2:62:1C

If you have a Hyper-V cluster, then you can use something like that:

1
2
3
4
5
6

$ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode
 
foreach ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes)
{
     Remove-InactiveFCVirtualPort -ComputerName $ClusterNode
}

That will remove all inactive virtual ports on cluster.

You should run this script on one of your Hyper-V host.
