Hyper-V and "Event ID: 157 - Disk x has been surprise removed"

  • Artykuł

After posting about Hyper-V and Event ID 58 the other week - I had a number of people ask me about Event ID 157.  They told me that each time they backed up a virtual machine they were seeing this event inside of the virtual machine as well.

At first, I could not figure out why they were seeing this - as I did not see it on my system.  Then I discovered why I was not seeing this - my systems are up-to-date!

We released an update to get rid of this event (KB2958027) - and this was then included in the November 2014 rollup (KB3000850). 

So if you are seeing this event log being filed:

  1. Install these updates!
  2. Or, know that you can safely ignore this message if it is happening when a virtual machine backup is happening.

Cheers,
Ben

    Hi Ben, thank you for the info but I'd have a question. Where should we install this update? On the HV or the VM? Thank you.

    Hi Ben Are you still saying that we can still "safely ignore this message" ? And as Nicola asked: "Where should we install this update? On the HV or the VM?" because the warnings are showing in the VM and the VM is fully patched. Regards

    Same here, error showing despite update rollup being installed. BTW: Description of kb2958570 does not mention removal of the event 157 but only correcting for Hypervisor crash with 0x000000D5.

    Anything else on this? ALL our servers are up to date and we get them on all VMs when DPM runs???

    Anything? We use DPM and I am sure that's when it is happening. We are up-to-date on all updates but still getting the event.

    Same here...Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Host with Server 2012 R2 VM running Exchange 2013 CU10. Get this error after every backup on the VM still despite both host and VM being fully updated.

    Just adding my "Me Too" here. I'm looking at this event in the logs of a hyper-v guest running 2012R2 and have confirmed via powershell "Get-Hotfix" that KB3000850 is installed.

      Hi David,I cannot reproduce this event log any more - and do not know why people are seeing on their systems if they are properly updated. You could contact product support so that they can investigate further - but either way, the message is spurious and can be ignored.

        I can also confirm that we are still getting these events, and we are fully patched.
