Hyper-V Live Migration duing Replica job failed. XML Lost.

[dtovalis]

Live Migration in Hyper-V Cluster Manager failed. Replica job of the VM was running at the same time. VM was left in a failed state and .xml, bin and .vsv files in Cluster Storage Volume were no longer in the "VM Name\Virtual Machines" folder.

Hyper-V Host runs Windows Server 2012 R2 fully patched and Veeam B&R 8.0.0.2030.
Guest runs SBS Server 2011 with AD, Exchange and SharePoint services running.

I would have expected Hyper-V to not allow the migration given that Veeam was replicating the guest VM at the time. Anyone had this issue before? Is it a Veeam issue or a Hyper V issues?

Any feedback / light shed would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Since Hyper-V server allows migration during replication/backup jobs, then I believe it should be a Hyper-V issue.

David, any chance replica was crash-consistent? Anyway, there should not be issues like that, since while replica is underway, Veeam B&R reads VM data from volume VSS snapshot, not from the volume itself.

Yes, Veeam B&R will complete the job.
