Troubleshoot issues when deploying Linux virtual machines

  • Cikk

Applies to: ✔️ Linux VMs

Note

CentOS referenced in this article is a Linux distribution and will reach End Of Life (EOL). Consider your use and plan accordingly. For more information, see CentOS End Of Life guidance.

When you try to create a new Azure Virtual Machine (VM), the common errors you encounter are provisioning failures or allocation failures.

  • A provisioning failure happens when the OS image fails to load either due to incorrect preparatory steps or because of selecting the wrong settings during the image capture from the portal.
  • An allocation failure results when the cluster or region either does not have resources available or cannot support the requested VM size.

If your Azure issue is not addressed in this article, visit the Azure forums on MSDN and Stack Overflow. You can post your issue in these forums, or post to @AzureSupport on Twitter. You also can submit an Azure support request. To submit a support request, on the Azure support page, select Get support.

Symptoms

A typical provisioning failure scenario occurs after you create a custom image, then deploy a VM from it, you then experience unto 40mins where the VM status is showing creating, and you see this error message:

Provisioning state Provisioning failed. 
OS Provisioning for VM 'sentilo' did not finish in the allotted time. 
The VM may still finish provisioning successfully. Please check provisioning state later. 
Also, make sure the image has been properly prepared (generalized). * Instructions for Windows: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-upload-image/ * Instructions for Linux: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-capture-image/.

Or:

Deployment failed. Correlation ID: f9dcb33a-4e6e-45c5-9c9d-b29dd73da2e0. {
  "status": "Failed",
  "error": {
    "code": "ResourceDeploymentFailure",
    "message": "The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.",
    "details": [
      {
        "code": "OSProvisioningInternalError",
        "message": "OS Provisioning failed for VM 'iWishThisWouldCreateVM01' due to an internal error: The VM encountered an error during deployment. Please visit https://aka.ms/linuxprovisioningerror for more information on remediation."
      }
    ]
  }
}

You then see the VM state marked as failed.

Why do provisioning failures occur?

Commonly, provisioning failures can happen for multiple reasons, such as:

  • Missing provisioning /incorrectly configured agent

    You will need to ensure an agent is present and is working correctly, you should be using cloud-init or if your image will not support this, you can review these steps.

  • Incorrect image configuration

    We have guidance on how images should be set up with cloud-init and other Azure image requirements, please check this.

Troubleshoot provisioning failures

To identify the reason for failed provisioning you will need to start with the serial log, this is available to you by deploying the VM with Azure Boot diagnostics.

You will need to deploy a new VM with boot diagnostics enabled for the VM with the failing image to access provisioning events in the serial log.

# create resource group
resourceGroup=myBrokenImageRG
location=westus2
az group create --name $resourceGroup --location $location
# create storage account
storageacct=mydiagdata$RANDOM
az storage account create \
  --resource-group $resourceGroup \
  --name $storageacct \
  --sku Standard_LRS \
  --location $location
# create VM
vmName=iWishThisWouldCreateVM01
brokenImageName=<ResourceID of brokenImage>
sshPubkeyPath=""
az vm create \
    --resource-group $resourceGroup \
    --name $vmName \
    --image $brokenImageName \
    --admin-username azadmin \
    --ssh-key-value $sshPubkeyPath \
    --boot-diagnostics-storage $storageacct

To view the serial log, you can go to the Portal, or run the command below to download the serialConsoleLogBlobUri log:

az vm boot-diagnostics get-boot-log-uris --name $vmName --resource-group $resourceGroup

Understanding the serial log for system events and provisioning events

When the VM is created for the first time, cloud-init will start up and try to mount an ISO, establish network connectivity, set the properties passed during the VM creation, mount the ephemeral disk (on supported VM sizes), and signal back to the Azure platform that the initial OS config has completed.

"UDF driver Blocklisted 2020/09/11 19:16:40.240016 ERROR Daemon Provisioning failed: [ProtocolError] [CopyOvfEnv] Error mounting dvd: [OSUtilError] Failed to mount dvd deviceInner error: [mount -o ro -t udf,iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom/secure] returned 32: mount: /mnt/cdrom/secure: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error."

Cause: The UDF driver is not loaded in the kernel, this is required for the VM to provision, see image requirements.

When a VM is first provisioned on Azure, the Azure host presents a 'provisioning cdrom iso disk' to the VM. This provisioning disk is usually presented to the VM through /dev/sr0. Within the provisioning disk, there is a provisioning manifest which contains a VM's provisioning information. The in-VM provisioning agent is expected to mount the provisioning disk, read the provisioning manifest, and provision the VM accordingly.

Since the provisioning disk is a cdrom iso disk, the Linux UDF driver is required by the kernel in order to successfully mount this disk. This is referenced in Microsoft documentation on Linux images. For this VM, logs indicate that the provisioning disk failed to mount, which caused VM provisioning to fail. The most likely reason is due to missing or blocked UDF drivers.

Solution: Ensure the UDF driver is configured to be loaded in the kernel.

A common way for UDF drivers to be blocked is through configs within /etc/modprobe.d/. Please work with the customer/image owner to ensure that Linux UDF drivers are present and not blocked. Please consult this article on blocking/unblocking kernel drivers.

Unicode characters in VM tags issue

Error in cloud-init.log:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceAzure.py", line 1316, in _get_metadata_from_imds
    except json.decoder.JSONDecodeError:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'JSONDecodeError'

Cause: This happens because VM tags have non-ascii characters and the version of cloud-init is older than 20.3.

Solution: Either use or ensure your image supports cloud-init 20.3 or newer, or remove non-ascii characters from the VM tags.

Password with unicode characters

Error in cloud-init.log:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceAzure.py", line 1153, in encrypt_pass
    return crypt.crypt(password, salt_id + util.rand_str(strlen=16))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/crypt.py", line 55, in crypt
    return _crypt.crypt(word, salt)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 10-11: ordinal not in range(128)

Cause: This happens because the provided password has unsupported characters (non-ascii).

Solution: Provide a password that only has ascii characters.

Dhclient permission

Error in cloud-init.log:

Command: ['/var/tmp/cloud-init/cloud-init-dhcp-yd8mvxud/dhclient', '-1', '-v', '-lf', '/var/tmp/cloud-init/cloud-init-dhcp-yd8mvxud/dhcp.leases', '-pf', '/var/tmp/cloud-init/cloud-init-dhcp-yd8mvxud/dhclient.pid', 'eth0', '-sf', '/bin/true']
Exit code: -
Reason: [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/var/tmp/cloud-init/cloud-init-dhcp-yd8mvxud/dhclient'

Cause: Older versions of cloud-init (before version 20.3) perform DHCP by copying and executing dhclient within /var/tmp. If /var/tmp is mounted as noexec (no execution) by the VM, then DHCP will fail due to dhclient not having permissions to execute within /var/tmp.

Cloud-init versions >= 20.3 contain a fix which falls back and executes dhclient "as-is" (by not copying and executing it in /var/tmp if there are permissions issues).

Solution: For VMs running cloud-init older than version 20.3, configure the VM so that /var/tmp is not mounted as noexec. Alternatively, upgrade the VM's cloud-init package to a version >= 20.3.

Note

The dhclient permission issue has been resolved in cloud-init 22.4 and later versions. For more information, see cloud-init issues 3956.

Getting more logs

If you find that you need more logs from the VM to understand the issues, you maybe can SSH into the VM using the serial console using a user that is baked into the image. If you do not have a user baked in, then you can either recreate the image with a user, or use the AZ VM Repair tool which will mount the OS disk of the VM that failed to provision, to another VM.

az vm repair create  \
    --resource-group $resourceGroup \
    --name $vmName \
    --repair-username repairadm \
    --repair-password AnotherPassword123! \
    --repair-vm-name repairVM \
    --verbose
