Azure Stack HCI 23H2 - Single Server Deployment

Question

Ahoi Community,

I face the following issue when trying to start the Azure Stack HCI cluster validation prior the cluster deployment:

Type 'ValidateNetwork' of Role 'EnvironmentValidator' raised an exception: {
    "ExceptionType": "json", "ErrorMessage": {
        "Message": "Network requirements not met. Review output and remediate.", "Results": {
            "Name": "AzStackHci_Network_Test_NetAdapter_RDMA_Operational",
            "DisplayName": "Test if RDMA requirement meets for the deployment on all servers",
            "Tags": { },
            "Title": "Test NetAdapter RDMA requirement",
            "Status": 1,
            "Severity": 2,
            "Description": "Checking RDMA Operational Status on 192.168.18.10",
            "Remediation": "Make sure adapter RDMA is operational.
                Use Get-NetAdapterRdma cmdlet to check the status of RDMA for the network adapter in the system.",
            "TargetResourceID": "192.168.18.10",
            "TargetResourceName": "NetAdapter",
            "TargetResourceType": "Network Adapter RDMA",
            "Timestamp": "\/Date(1728043625099)\/",
            "AdditionalData": {"Detail": "\nERROR: RDMA setting on adapters are invalid on ATVIEHCIDMN01\n Intent Compute_Management Adapter Override - [ False ]; NetworkDirect - [ 1 ]\n Wrong configuration for adapters MGMT\r\n: RDMA not supported, but not configured with intent adapter override to disable NetworkDirect",
                        "Status": "FAILURE",
                        "TimeStamp": "10/04/2024 12:07:05",
                        "Resource": "Network Adapter RDMA Operational Status",
                        "Source": "192.168.18.10" }
            }
        }
    }

This is my network configuration

The Server I'm using is a HPE DL325 Gen11

This is my RDMA configuration in BIOS

This is the RDMA configuration visible in the OS

Even with changing the BIOS to set the RDMA to operational I still get the same error:

Type 'ValidateNetwork' of Role 'EnvironmentValidator' raised an exception: {
    "ExceptionType": "json", "ErrorMessage": {
        "Message": "Network requirements not met. Review output and remediate.",

                }
            }
        }

I may ask if anyone knows how this is still not working?

Kind Regards,

Hi Maximilian Pessl,
Thanks for the giving update! I understand your concern with the single-node setup issue
I recommend checking the diagnostic logs, as they can provide clarity on what might be going wrong, Please refer the document diagnostic logs

As you said verify it once the latest SPP from HP setup and I hope it resolves the issue. If you continue to face challenges after that, please ask me. I’m here always to help you.
