System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager HyperV Service

Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.2012.HyperVService.Monitor (UnitMonitor)

Monitors the state of the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service (VMMS.exe)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The Hyper-V Host monitor indicates whether the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service is running on a virtualization host that is managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). If the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service is not running, the monitor is in a critical state (Red). If the state is unknown, monitoring has not yet begun for the virtualization host.

Causes

An unhealthy state indicates that the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service is not running on the host.

Resolutions

To troubleshoot an unhealthy state for the Hyper-V host monitor:

1

Restart the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service by using the Services Administrative tool on the virtualization host.

2

If you are unable to start the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service, or if the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service continues to shut down, look for events in the Hyper-V event log or the system log that can explain the situation better.
