Issue/Introduction
Connection to hyperv host machine fails.
Environment
hyperv probe: any version
hyperv requirements:
- Installation of .Net framework 3.5 is required on the machine where the hyperv probe will be deployed.
- Nimsoft Robot 3.00 or higher
- hypervisor system (Windows 2008/2012/2012 R2 Server + Hyper-V / Windows 2008 Server Core + Hyper-V
- Virtual Machines configured on the Host OS
Note: Version 3.0 or later of the probe is available only through the web-based GUI. The Infrastructure Manager (IM) GUI is only available for version 2.2 or earlier.
Resolution
Increase the loglevel to 5, and logsize to 20000
Deactivate the probe, wait for the probe to turn grey, then Activate the probe.
Test the connection via the GUI and then review the log.
If you are seeing ACCESS DENIED errors, e.g.,
Connection failed: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
-> then you probably have to change the username to use the domain or workgroup, e.g., workgroup\administrator.
If it is not an access issue, and you're receiving this popup error:
Host Response (popup window)
"Failed to query the host '#.#.#.#'
The reason for this could be one of many, please check:
- The hostname or ip address is illegal or wrong."
Please run through the commands listed below to make sure hyperv can connect to the server.
