NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V cannot browse all nodes of a Hyper-V cluster when nodes are on different Windows Server versions -
Description
NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V cannot browse all cluster nodes of a Hyper-V cluster, when nodes are on different Windows Server versions
The Virtual Client seems to be missing VMs from specific nodes, however these nodes pass the NetVault connection tests.
-
Cause
Microsoft doesn't support different Windows Server versions on different nodes.The first prerequisite is .."Make sure that all servers that you want to add as cluster nodes are running the same version of Windows Server." -
Resolution
Please ensure all Hyper-V nodes in the cluster are on the same Windows Server version.
Mixed mode Hyper-V clusters (different nodes on Windows 2008, 2012, 2016..) are not supported by Microsoft.
The Plug-in for Hyper-V uses PowerShell scripts with different versions according to the OS on the master node, and will fail if other nodes are on different Windows server versions.
