How to check whether the namespace used for monitoring Hyper-V is accessible?
What is a WMI namespace?
A WMI namespace is just a container for WMI classes. By keeping different WMI classes in different WMI namespaces, Windows allows you to specify different access permissions for different WMI classes.
Hyper-V Namespace:
- All the WMI Classes related to Hyper-V Virtual Machine and Hypervisor will be placed under this Namespace.
- For Hyper-V Server 2008 Version Root\Virtualization is used and from Version 2012 and above Root\Virtualization\v2 is used in APM.
To Check whether the namespace used for monitoring Hyper-V is accessible:
- Open Powershell with the User Account used for monitoring Hyper-V in APM.
- Kindly execute the provided query "Get-WmiObject -Namespace <Hyper-V Namespace> -Class MSVM_ComputerSystem".
- If there exist any error, then Hyper-V is not accessible. This may be due to Secuirty Permission Issues, for this kindly check how to monitor Hyper-V with Non-Admin Credential.
