Hello Everyone,
I am looking for a second opinion into an issue we are experiencing.

We have a virtual server running server 2012 R2 Hyper-V. It has 6 Guest OS's on it (Server 2012 R2) Running web servers.

Every so often i find 1 virtual "dead in the head" where it will not let me login via the console but continues to operates in terms of Ping and i can telnet on to the server via port 80. I cannot file browse to the server either.

Looking at the performance of the hyper-v host i  cannot see an issue.

Could anyone point me in a good direction to start diagnosing this? I am going to guess its resource related even though the box is well specced:

Host spec:

20 x 2.50GHz Cores (40 Logical)

128GB OF RAM

480GB x 4 SSD - Raid 10

Each Guest Has: (6 Guests)

6 Cores On 1 Socket.

16GB Of RAM

Thank you.

Hi

Can you RDP to the server? Any anti-virus on the server you can disable and check? Are the drivers up-to-date as well?

Apologies, by the "dead in the head" analogy you cannot RDP to the server.

I will investigate the Anti-virus route but i do believe we have added all the needed execeptions.

Also, repost or cross post into the Hyper-V forum.  That's the best place to get Hyper-V help.
