@ABHISHEK NAYAK

It's failing in the pre-check step concerning the vCPU and memory? Did you try with a different VM SKU? This requires us to review the backend logs.

Hi @ABHISHEK NAYAK

You didn’t say what SKU you were deploying – please be sure you have deployed to a SKU that supports nested virtualization (e.g. Dv3 or Ev3 or better). Ref: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/nested-virtualization-in-azure/

Also, you may find it easier to just use Azure Arc Jumpstart to get going since it does all the right things.

Hello @Prrudram-MSFT

I am using Standard_E20s_v4 VM SKU for this lab deployment.

On top of this VM Size I installed Hyper-V and Deployed Azure Stack HCI 23H2 Lab Environment.
