For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult" and https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275. To understand why scvmm was waiting and what it does during that time. I took working scvmm etl trace. You can use the below article to enable etl tracing on scvmm.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2913445/how-to-enable-debug-logging-in-virtual-machine-manager
In the trace i could see it waits for the host to back online and then tries to connect to wmi service on the hyper v host. With that clue i tried to test the WMI connectivity from SCVMM to hyper v host in customer environment. I used "wbemtest" utility to test it. Go to run and type "wbemtest" on scvmm server and provide the hyper v host name as below. Click on connect, it failed with below error. Our internal networking team helped us to find out the cause. It turns out that the below updates were missing on VMM server. However, in your case the cause might be different, it may be firewall, wmi port block or missing updates. Remediation to work the scvmm should connect to wmi service on the hyper v host and vice versa.

Note: This blog is to address the Uplink mode and Teaming mode for Nano server. Rest of the logical switch concept remains same. For more information on Logical switch creation go through below article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center-docs/vmm/manage/manage-network-logical-switches On Nano server NIC Teaming (specifically, load balancing and failover, or LBFO) is not supported. Switch-embedded teaming (SET) is supported instead. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/get-started/getting-started-with-nano-server So we need to create logical switch in SCVMM considering the above constraint Login to SCVMM console > Go to Fabric > Networking > Logical switch Create new Logical switch, Provide the name for logical switch. Select uplink mode as Embedded Team. nano1 Go through the wizard and select the required options In uplinks option >click on Add New Uplink Port Profile and provide the name for the profile. Need to select the Teaming mode as Switch Independent because Nano supports only switch independent. Below is reference article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/networking/technologies/hyper-v-virtual-switch/rdma-and-switch-embedded-teaming#bkmk_modes Another key difference between NIC Teaming and SET is that NIC Teaming provides the choice of three different teaming modes, while SET supports only Switch Independent mode. nano2  

Now we can apply the above logical switch to Nono host which is managed by SCVMM.

If we select other Teaming mode as show below e.g. LACP then will get error while applying to Nono host nano3 Error (2912) An internal error has occurred trying to contact the 'nano.hoster.lab' server: : .

In Hyper v to Azure scenario, we get below error while creating the protection group in azure site recovery portal

 

"AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE RETRIEVING THE LIST OF SERVERS"

 

 

We can see an event logged in Hyper v as well

To enable the logging  login to Hyper V server ->Open the event viewer-> Application and Services Logs ->

 Cause:

While troubleshooting, found that the VM's Network Adapter showing configuration error as show below. This can happen if VM is connected to virtual switch that has been deleted.

Resolution:

1 Ensure that all VM's doesn't shows Configuration Error in hyper v server.

2 To fix the Configuration Error, either the NIC has to be connected to proper virtual switch or  Not connected.

3 Once the VM NIC status is corrected

4 Open an elevated Command Prompt window. To do this, click Start, type cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results list, and then click Run as administrator.

3 At the command prompt, run the following command:

   net stop DRA

   net start DRA

4 On the Servers page in the Azure portal, Refresh the hyper v server.

 

After you complete these steps, you should be able to create a protection group successfully.

I ran into multiple issues. I thought to share so that it can help others.
I imported the IIS gallery item using GRIT 1.2 tool and tried to deploy from the WAP Tenant Portal and got below errors

This I got when I used the manually syspreped VHDX:

Follow the below Steps to successfully deploy the Web server (IIS) Virtual Machine Role:

  • Using windows 2012 R2 ISO create the VHDX like below

  • Download the “Convert-WindowsImage.ps1” from below link

  • https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Convert-WindowsImageps1-0fe23a8f

  • Open elevated PowerShell, change the parameters according to your environment

  • Copy the VHDX to SCVMM library share and refresh the library

Also Verify the Read-only library share Path is added to cloud properties if it’s not added then in tenant portal the VHDX will not list and Capability properties is are also unchecked
Cloud Properties:


 Now Login to SPF server and Follow below Steps to Import the Gallery Item

  • Open the elevated PowerShell on SPF server

  • Ran the .\GalleryResourceImportTool.ps1 PowerShell 

  • Selected the IIS Gallery Resource and clicked continue

  • In next Wizard click on Virtual Disks Configuration

  • Select the Windows 2012 R2 Standard

  • It will list all the VHD from your Library

  • Select the Syspreped Windows 2012 R2 VHDX as OS disk, Uncheck the “Apply Resulting Tags for Family Name” then click on Apply these OS disk settings to selected disks and wait until it completes

  • We need at least one Data drive for VM Role, So  select on Bland VHDX and click on Apply these Data disk settings

  • Now the required Tags are set on OS and Data Disk

  • Click on Gallery Resource Import option

  • Select the library server share and click on Import Gallery Resource Extension

  • Once import is successful

  • Go to WAP Admin Portal ->Go to Plans-> Add the Web Server(IIS) gallery item from Gallery item section

  • Login to Tenant Portal and Deploy the Web server (IIS) Virtual Machine Role. It will deploy successfully now
