Answer 1

Hi Guys,

I hade the same problem. A tried many things. Finally this article gave mi a hint: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/answers/questions/1632654/azure-stack-hci-23h2-deployment-fails-due-to-a-spa

I have changed the names of the network interfaces in a way that they do not contains spaces. (for Example from: "PCIe Slot 3 Port 1" to "MGMT01".) I did it with all the adapters. After that I had to change the interfaces in the wizard on the Azure portal too.

(I have opened a ticket too and the engineer confirmed that it is recommended to not have a space in the names of the network adapters.)

Then the validation was successful. I hope it will help!

Bests,

Ákos

Answer 2

I encountered this error in two different cluster deployments:

Scenario 1: Only one network interface was assigned to the management network.

Solution 1: Assign two network interfaces to the management network.

Scenario 2: Two network interfaces were assigned to the management network, but they belonged to different network adapters, such as “PCIe Slot 3 Port 1” and “PCIe Slot 4 Port 1”.

Solution 2: Use network interfaces from the same physical network adapter, for example, “PCIe Slot 3 Port 1” and “PCIe Slot 3 Port 2”.
