A Hyper-V host shows Pending status under VMs and Services section, the host invisible under Fabric section.
You may experience following symptoms when you re-add the Hyper-V host to SCVMM 2012 R2.
There were no computers discovered based on your inputs. Please verify the following:
- Your Virtual Machine Manager Server service account has at least read access to the Active Directory domain you requested to discover.
- Your Virtual Machine Manager Server has access to the computer in the discovery scope.
- The servers you specified are powered on and running.
- You specified valid credentials to access the servers.
- The user account that you specified has Administrator privileges on the Windows servers to be discovered.
- The servers you specified are already managed by Virtual Machine Manager.
You may see following error when you try to delete the Hyper-V host from SCVMM 2012 R2.
Error (2606)
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
Recommended Action
To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
That’s because the Hyper-V host was not added to SCVMM 2012 R2 properly when you first time add it to SCVMM 2012 R2.
Variously reason lead to this issue. It cannot be fixed by restart 2012 R2 services, reboot Hyper-V host, reboot SCVMM 2012 R2 server or force delete by PowerShell command Remove-SCVMHost.
You have to manually delete the host record in SCVMM 2012 R2 SQL database.
HostID is unique ID correspond with each Hyper-V host in SCVMM 2012 R2 database, so basically we need to delete everything related to the target HostID.
The only article about that is How to manually remove a host from the VMM database, but it’s for VMM2008. If you take a look the tables of SCVMM 2012 R2 database, it’s more complicate. I would like to share how I did it. Since everybody may have different situation, I’m going to show you a generic way.
- Create a temp share folder on SQL database server. Grant READ/WRITE permission to EVERYONE.
- Launch SCVMM 2012 R2 console.
- Go to Settings – General – Backup.
- Enter the share path then click OK to backup SCVMM 2012 R2 database.
- Launch SQL Management Studio.
- Select SCVMM 2012 R2 database.
- Open table tbl_ADHC_Host and find out HostID of the target host.
- Right click the database and select New query.
- Run query below. (Replace ‘HostID’
by real one)
SELECT * FROM tbl_ADHC_Host WHERE (HostID = ‘HostID’)
- It returns the host records in tbl_ADHC_Host table.
You can run following query to try deleting basic information of the host. (Replace ‘HostID’
and @computername by real one)
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_HostNetworkAdapter WHERE (HostID = ‘HostID’)
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_VirtualNetwork WHERE (HostID = ‘HostID’)
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_HostVolume WHERE (HostID = ‘HostID’)
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_HostDisk WHERE (HostID = ‘HostID’)
DELETE FROM tbl_WLC_PhysicalObject WHERE (HostId = ‘HostID’)
DELETE FROM tbl_WLC_VObject WHERE (HostId = ‘HostID’)
DELETE FROM [tbl_ADHC_AgentServerRelation] WHERE AgentServerID = (select top 1 AgentServerID from tbl_ADHC_AgentServer where Computername = @computername)
DELETE FROM [tbl_ADHC_AgentServer] WHERE AgentServerID = (select top 1 AgentServerID from tbl_ADHC_AgentServer where Computername = @computername)
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_AgentServer WHERE (ComputerName = @computername)
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_ISCSIHbaToTargetMapping where ISCSIHbaID in (select HbaID from tbl_ADHC_HostBusAdapter where(HostID = ‘HostID’))
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_HostInternetSCSIHba where ISCSIHbaID in (select HbaID from tbl_ADHC_HostBusAdapter where(HostID = ‘HostID’))
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_HostBusAdapter where (HostID = ‘HostID’)
DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_Host WHERE (HostID = ‘HostID’)
Since a Hyper-V host has lot of hardware, such as network adapter, HBA, virtual network, logical network, WWPN…etc. The query above may not able to delete all related information in database, it returns similar error below:
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint “fk__NetMan_LogicalNetworkDefinitionToHostGroup__ADHC_HostNetworkAdapter”. The conflict occurred in database “VirtualManagerDB”, table “dbo.tbl_NetMan_HostNetworkAdapterToLogicalNetwork”, column ‘HostNetworkAdapterID’.
Then you have to chase down related key from table NetMan_LogicalNetworkDefinitionToHostGroup and delete the related information first.
I’m not a DB expert, so I have to chase down the error message one by one and manually delete records from tables, you may have better idea. J
Finally DELETE FROM tbl_ADHC_Host WHERE (HostID = ‘HostID’) should be able to execute successfully, then restart SCVMM 2012 R2 service and login console. You will see the pending Hyper-V host disappeared.

A script can completely delete a host from SQL DB.
Please backup database before run it!!!!!
