SnapManager for Hyper-V

Virtual machine managing itself

Contributors

  • Issue

    If a virtual machine (VM) belongs to a host that has SnapManager for Hyper-V installed, and you install SnapManager for Hyper-V on that VM to use as a management console, you should not use SnapManager for Hyper-V to manage the host to which the VM belongs.

  • Cause

    SnapManager for Hyper-V on a virtual machine cannot manage itself.

  • Corrective action

    No corrective action necessary.

  • Example

    If VM1 belongs to Host1 (with SnapManager for Hyper-V installed), and you install SnapManager for Hyper-V on VM1, you should not use SnapManager for Hyper-V to manage Host1 from VM1.

    If you do this, and try to restore the VM from itself, the VM will be deleted or restarted from Hyper-V Manager.
