System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) Error Codes [2500-2999]

2600

Unable to connect to the database because of a fatal database error. It is unlikely that the database itself has been damaged.

Review the event log and take appropriate action. Ensure that SQL Server is running.

2602

Database integrity is in question because of a hardware or software problem.

Contact an experienced SQL administrator whenever this error occurs. Look at Windows Event Log for troubleshooting. Run DBCC CHECKDB to determine the extent of the damage. It is possible t hat the problem is in the cache only and not on the disk itself. If so, restarting SQL Server corrects the problem. Otherwise, use DBCC to repair the problem. In some cases, it may be necessary to restore the VMM database.

2604

Database operation failed.

Ensure that the SQL Server is running and configured correctly, and t ry the operation again.

2606

Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.

Command Line Interface: Either cancel those running jobs, or wait for them to complete, before trying this action again.

Try the operation again.

2915

The Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service cannot process the request. The object was not found on the server (%ServerName;).

Ensure that the VMM agent is installed and running. If the error persists, restart the virtualization server (%ServerName;) and then try the operation again. \n\nThis error can also happen due to an older version of the VMM agent on the virtualization server. Ensure that the VMM agent is upgraded to the latest version, and then try the operation again.

2917

Virtual Machine Manager cannot process the request because an error occurred while authenticating %ServerName;. Possible causes are:\n1) The specified user name or password are not valid.\n2) The Service Principal Name (SPN) for the remote computer name and port does not exist.\n3) The client and remote computers are in different domains and there is not a two-way full trust between the two domains.

Log in by using an account on the same domain as the VMM management server, or by using an account on a domain that has a two-way full trust with the domain of the VMM management server, and then try the operation again. If this does not work, purge the Kerberos tickets on the VMM management server by using kerbtray.exe, available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=93709. Then, reset the SPN for %ServerName; by using setspn.exe available from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=93710. If this still does not fix the problem, make %ServerName; a member of a workgroup instead of a domain, restart the computer, rejoin the domain, and then try the operation again.

2919

The destination file %FileName; already exists or the destination device is not ready on the %ServerName; server.

Ensure that you have specified a valid path, delete the file if it exists, and then try the operation again.

2921

VMM cannot complete the operation on the file %FileName; on the %ServerName; serv er. One of the following system errors occurred: a file is read-only, the specified path is a directory, or Virtual Mac hine Manager does not have the required permissions.

Ensure that the path is valid and VMM has the appropriate rights to perform this action.

2923

A malformed response was received while trying to contact the VMM agent on %ServerName;.

1) Ensure the VMM agent is installed and that the SCVMMAgent service is running.\n2) If the SCVMMAgent service is running, restart the service, and then verify that WS-Management is installed correctly and that the WinRM service is running.\n3) Check the manufacturers' Web sites to ensure that you have th e latest drivers for your network adapters and other devices.

2925

The device used to access the specified path %FileName; is not ready on the %ServerName; server.

Insert the appropriate media into the available device or specify a different path, and then try the operation again.

2927

A Hardware Management error has occurred trying to contact server %ServerName; %W SManSoapFaultSubcode; %WSManSoapFaultReason;.

Check that WinRM is installed and running on server %ServerName;. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult".

2929

VMM could not resolve the specified file %FileName; on the %ServerName; server.

Ensure that you have specified a valid file name, then try the operation again.

2931

VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the VMM agent on the vir tualization server (%ServerName;) was lost.

Ensure that the Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service an d the VMM agent are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTPS traffic. \n\nThis can also happen due to DNS issues. Try and see if the server (%ServerName;) is reachable over the network and can be looked up in DNS. You can ping the virtualization server from VMM management server and make sure that the IP address returned matches the IP address locally obtained from the virualization server. \n\nIf the error still persists, restart the virtualiztion server, and then try the operation again.

2940

VMM is unable to complete the requested file transfer. The connection to the HTTP server %BITSServerName; could not be established.

Ensure that the HTTP service and/or the agent on the machine %BITSSe rverName; are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTP/HTTPS traffic on the configured port.

2942

VMM is unable to complete the requested file transfer. The HTTP server %BITSServerName; returned access denied.

Ensure that the HTTP service and/or the agent on the machine %BITSServerName; are installed and running.

2944

VMM is unable to complete the requested operation because the server name %Server Name; could not be resolved.

Try the operation again. If the problem persists, contact your netwo rk administrator.

Command Line Interface: Try the operation again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.

2946

A malformed response was received trying to contact server %ServerName; (%DetailedErrorMessage;).

Ensure that the communication is set up properly.
