How to delete a Virtual Machine from Hyper-V Failover Cluster

  • 772

I have a Hyper-V 2008 R2 failover cluster with 3 nodes. I added new 3 Virtual Machines to the failover clusters, one of them failed with errors:

Event ID: 1069
Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration [server]' in clustered service or application '[server] failed.

and

Event ID: 21502
'Virtual Machine Configuration [server]' failed to register the virtual machine with the virtual machine management service.

I can't bring the resource online at all. I see I can right click on the resource and choose "delete." I just wanted to make sure that would be deleting it only from the Failover Cluster and not from Hyper-V Manager.

How do I delete the failed virtual server from the Failover Cluster Manager and retain the virtual machine in the Hyper-V Manager?

    I don't have a Windows Server 2008 R2 failover cluster to check at the moment but deleting the VM from Failover Cluster Manager should remove it as a clustered role/service but leave the VM intact. It should be the equivalent to the Remove option in a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster.
