The VMM team published a guide on how to troubleshoot VMM 2008 in 7 different scenarios:
- I have a Windows Host that is in a not responding state. Use VMMCA 2008 to check the host for commonly known issues.
- A Windows host shows a status of “Needs Attention”. Use VMMCA 2008 to check the this host for commonly known issues.
- I am using SCVMM 2008 to manage a VMware environment, but I am unable to create new virtual machines on the VMware environment. Use VMMCA 2008 to evaluate the Virtual Center environment for commonly known issues.
- I am using the integration between SCVMM 2008 and Operations Manager, but I am unable to see a particular VM or Host in the integrated mapping view. Use VMMCA 2008 to check the host or virtual machine for an operations manager agent.
- I am using SCVMM 2008 to do P2V conversions and the job is failing. Use VMMCA 2008 to check the P2V source for commonly known issues.
- I tried to create a Virtual Machine and it failed during customization and installation of virtual guest services. Use VMMCA on the Windows Host to find commonly known issues.
- I know that VMM and Hyper-V hosts require certain updates for steady VMM operations. Use VMMCA to check your VMM server and hyper-v hosts for required updates.
