With this chapter, you will learn how to troubleshoot the installation of Azure Stack. As the multi-node deployment will not be deployed by yourself, this chapter is something for a consultant, who keeps running into issues. If you are running the deployment toolkit release, this is really something you will have to care about.
The technical basis, on which Azure will rely on, during the installation is as follows:
- The internet connectivity
- Availability of DNS for internet name resolution
- Availability of a reliable time server (if no internal one is available, it will try to connect to
time.windows.com
) - DHCP services (if this is your deployment option) or availability of static IPs
- Network connectivity during the whole deployment time
As most of the requirements of the deployment will be available in 99% of each company, the issues mostly will be part of different topics.
