Error installing VRA on Hyper-V 2016 (SCVMM 2016)

  • Hi all,

    I am doing a PoC VMware to Hyper-V.
    The installation of both the ZVM’s was no problems, also the VRA’s on VMware were running in no time.
    However, the vra installation on Hyper-v 2016 keeps failing.

    I see the VM being created, modified and then it is deleted and the install fails. Looks like the failure happens right after the network card is attached to the VM. I looked at the properties of the VM, the network config seems ok. I tried several networks, static and dhcp.
    I use the 6.0 U3 from Zerto and we are running SCVMM 2016 (1807) and Hyper-v 2016.

    Firewall is disabled in the Hyper-V server and SCVMM.
    The account used is a Domain admin.

    Any help would be great!

    I was looking at some more detail and saw in the interoperability matrix that secure boot is not supported on hosts running Windows 2016.
    We have secure boot enabled on the Hyper-V hosts, which I think is a good and common practice.
    Can this be the source of my problems?

    Kind regards,

    Guys, I have the exact same issue. Did you manage to get it sorted out?

     

    Hi,

    UEFI / secure boot is not supported by Zerto.

    Kind regards,

    Martijn
