Hyper-V agent problems

0

I've downloaded the latest version of the Hyper-V agent (datasync-20201019-x86_64.vhdx) and am having trouble getting it to boot. It loads for a minute saying ">>Start PXE over IPv4." and then I get this on the screen in the VM connection:


Microsoft Hyper-V UEFT
Virtual Machine Boot Summary

  1. SCSI Disk (0,0)
    The boot loader did not load an operating system.
  2. Network Adapter (00155D01AF02)
    A boot image was not found.

No operating system was loaded. Your virtual machine may be configured incorrectly. Exit and re-configure your VM or click restart to retry the current boot sequence again.

I'm deploying this on a Windows 10 Pro with latest updates and with the "Hyper-V Quick Create App". I have the box unchecked for "This VM will run Windows". Physical specs are a Ryzen 7 3700 with 8 cores and 32 GB of RAM with SSDs so I think I'm okay in the hardware area.

There's no errors when I extract the 85GB vhdx file and then create the new VM using the file. I've tested turning off the integration services, Enhanced Session Mode, toggled Secure Boot, verified boot order that the hard disk is first, and even completely redownloaded the zip and tried it again.

Any thoughts on why this won't work and what I can do to troubleshoot more?

Hi,

Thank you for your message.
The DataSync Hyper-V agent is only supported on Windows Server Versions 2012 R2 or 2016.
In addition, DataSync requires 32 GB to be allocated to the virtual machine (not the host machine).
Lastly, based on your message we've updated our documentation to clarify that the DataSync VM is a generation 1 virtual machine (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/agent-requirements.html).
If you'd like to explore other host options to deploy your agent, please comment here or send me a private message.

Regards,
Olga
