POCFabricInstaller failed because the following tasks failed: xRPVM

Question

Hello,

Please could you help. I keep on getting the following error when Azure Stack is deploying the xRPVM virtual machine:

=======================================================================================================


Report-Progress : The Microsoft Azure Stack POC deployment failed.
Start-PocFabricInstallerTasks : POCFabricInstaller failed because the

This is part of step 48 of 124. I've tried running the DeployAzureStack.ps1 a number of times as the AzureStack Domain administrator but the same error keeps coming up. When I observe it in Hyper-V manager, it keeps trying to create the xRPM virtual machine but then deletes it again and keeps going around in a circle until the above error comes up.

Checking the VM, as it is retained in Hyper-V manager after it gives the above error, I noticed that it hasn't created any VHDX files. Could this be the issue I wonder?

The other VM's up until step 48 are functioning fine from what I can see

If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Neil

Answer 1

Hi Neil, Could you please provide the deployment logs collected by using our Invoke-DeploymentLogCollection.ps1. This script is located at <pocvhd>:\AzureStackInstaller\ where <pocvhd> is the driver letter assigned to a VHD that we mount during install. Please send me a note and I will set up an access point where you can upload the logs to.

Hi guys,

I have same problem on my lab. Deploy script cant deploy VM xRMVM.

There is collected logs {removed for privacy reasons}

Could you help me? Thanks

Answer 3

Hi funko22, Because the logs might contain PII, we are only allowed to work with specific shares approved by Microsoft for handling PII/sensitive data. If you are still encountering the issue, please send a note to ascustfeedbackatmicrosoftdotcom and we will set up a Microsoft share where you can upload the log files to. Thanks.

Hi Neil, Do you still need assistance with this issue?

Answer 5

Hi Gabe,

Thank you for getting back to me. I managed to figure out what the issue was. It turns out that I didn't have enough CPU cores in the system I was using. I originally had four cores and the xRPM VM requires eight.

I managed to get another CPU installed to double it upto 12 and it now seems to be going through the remainder of the installation.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Neil
