I mean Ghost as in mysterious non-existent machine, not the old Norton program. I've periodically had random cluster crashes, mainly due to my own negligence. 99% of the time everything comes back up normally. However periodically a machine will have very strange symptoms that i'm unable to resolve. The only resolution I've found is to create a new VM and link to the the old VHD. A description of the machines with this issue:
- Shown in Failover Cluster role as Running but cannot Connect, turn off, shutdown, etc.
- Login to Host machine for the VM and open Hyper-V Manager the machine does not exist. The only place this machine seems to exist is in Failover cluster.
- No details available on the Summary Tab, machine doesn't actually appear to be running despite what the console says.
- Under the resources tab for that Machine is shows the VM as running, but the VM Configuration as failed.
- Unable to bring the configuration back online. Error is "The group or resource is not the correct state to perform the requested operation"
I've seen other vague areas about null context pointers or something alone those lines. I've tried researching the users methods to no avail. How can I fix these? Or at least remove them when i've recreated the machine.
