Azure Stack TP2 Deployment Issue step 0.20

by

Last week i finally got my first Azure Stack TP2 deployment completed after weeks of error’s as a blogged before.  After that i needed to redeploy several times and ran into different issue’s every time.

This time it stopped at step 0.20. After retrying the deployment with:


Invoke-EceAction -RolePath Cloud -ActionType Deployment -Start 0.20 -Verbose

It stopped at the same error. See below for te error message.

2016-11-08 20:45:15 Verbose  Action: Status of 'Deployment-Phase0-DeployBareMetalAndBGPAndNAT' is 'Error'.

The MAS-BGPNAT01 VM was accessible and i didn’t notice any errors in relation to the error above in the eventlogs. After a reboot of the MAS-BGPNAT01 VM I started the deployment from step 1, without the -start parameter:


Invoke-EceAction -RolePath Cloud -ActionType Deployment -Verbose

And it got past step 0.20! I think this also has to something to do with time settings because I see lots of time differences every time on my vm’s and host during deployment. I’m not saying this is really a TP2 issue rather then an issue with my host or something else, but I am just spreading the info on the internet so people can try it and maybe get past the steps they can’t get past.

Good luck!
