Joe_Miner Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm running Hyper-V in Win8 RP with 5 Hyper-V clients and was loading S2012e. Before initializing S2012e I wanted to shut down my Win8 RP host to check something -- I had read about how this could be done remotely instead of going downstairs and hitting the button on the box -- so........ In a Remote Desktop into the Win8 RP host I went to the Command Prompt typed in: Shutdown /S This shut down my host. The problem arose when I powered the Host back up and when I went to my Hyper-V manager --- ALL of my VM's were "Off-Critical" and when I opend Windows Explorer my VHD drive was empty. I thought I had everything set-up to shut down my VM's gracefully when the Host shut down and restart all of my VM's when the Host started back up. What did I do wrong?

Try changing your automatic stop actions configured to shut down the guest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Miner Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 I had it set to save the state and restart the guest when the host is turned on. It was a little disturbing to see all my directories on the VHD drive empty -- no VHD's, VM's and my snapshots was empty. Yikes! I know I screwed up I'm not sure how I screwed up. I'll change my stop action to shut down the guest's and hopefully that will portect me till I figure out more what I'm doing -- maybe I should hold off on the remote shutdown/restart commands too?

Jason Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Try changing your automatic stop actions configured to shut down the guest? What are the recommended settings for automatic stop actions of guest OSs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
