HyperV R2 broke my vm creation script
Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by admin
Have a script that automatically creates a VM prompts for memory size, number of CPU’s etc.
Worked fine on HyperV in 2008 SP2, but was getting intermitent failures on 2008 R2.
After a little bit of head scratching found out it was failing setting memory size to an odd number (e.g 2047 MB), worked fine when setting even number memory (e.g 2048 MB).
When trying to manually create a VM on R2 with an odd number for memory size get the error below “Please enter memory in increments of 2 MB” , easy to fix just use an even size for memory.
