HyperV 2008 R2 Cluste...Cause would be interessting. HyperV 2008 R2 Cluster (2 node) with all updates, had this today the first time. I could not kill the VMWP.EXE Instance, even with taskkill /f. The I tried to do a live migration of all other VMS to the other cluster node and got error 21502. Found that might be the AV, dearivetd, tried again and all VMs got the state "Online (Migration attempt failed due to existing migration). All VMs were reachable at this point. Exact 30 minutes all failed, no failover. Tried to shutdown the failed node, but it hung on the VMPW Process -> soft reboot<br /><br />Problem is, that there is no error log of the failed stopping process and I have no idea why it happened :( This system runs now for three years (with reboots) without any major problems.Joachimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547298264019871753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125341290284114978.post-46050943237520561162012-07-14T11:50:11.000-07:002012-07-14T11:50:11.000-07:00Hi .can somebody help me why this is happeing ..Wh...Hi .can somebody help me why this is happeing ..What is the cause of the issue..rajnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125341290284114978.post-18305370850031664192011-06-13T09:53:01.000-07:002011-06-13T09:53:01.000-07:00Hi, it's so strange that these VM do not show ...Hi, it's so strange that these VM do not show up in memory consumption. My 8GB was shown as 94% consumed and I noticed these 4 vmwp.exe's running. I moved the xml's (did not need them running any way) and killed them up, matching the GUID's. (They used to start up even if I killed them, so the xml path was really the pointer!)<br />Thanks for the tip!!Ghanshyamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125341290284114978.post-48617001171415910332011-02-21T02:58:57.000-08:002011-02-21T02:58:57.000-08:00I have a similar problem, but I can't solve wh...I have a similar problem, but I can't solve whit this: the WM states is "executing" but I can't connect/shutdown or anything else, hw properties are not loaded and anything seems to work.

The process doesn't want to be killed. I event tried prockill /PID xxxx /F from the admin command prompt.
