Wazuh OVA in Hyper-V

[Massimiliano De Falco]

Good morning to all,

I'm trying to install the wazuh OVA image in win server 2019 Hyper-V.

I have converted the .vmdk disk to .vhd disk using the command

VBoxManage.exe clonemedium --format vhd "input\wazuh-4.6.0-disk-1.vmdk" "output\wazuh-4.6.0-disk-1.vhd"

My Hyper-V configuration is Gen1, 4 CPU, 8192MB RAM. Other config is default value.

When I try to start the VM, this is the error:

error: ../../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:258:file '/boot/initramfs-4.14.326-245.539.amzn2.x86_64.img' not found

and the "booting the kernel" hang.

any ideas to solve this issue, thanks.

Hello Massimiliano,

Thank you for using Wazuh.

The error encountered shows that the initramfs file is possibly missing or corrupted. I have been researching and have not found much information with respect to this. However, have you tried converting the Gen 1 VM to a Gen 2 VM?  

you can follow the steps below https://www.vinchin.com/en/blog/convert-hyper-v-gen-1-to-2.html

Also if it helps here we have tested with Gen 1, I have noticed that you have followed a few different steps perhaps you can try following this https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-packages/issues/1977

Alternatively, you can take a look at the other wazuh installation alternatives.

- Install the components separately on your server
- Wazuh Docker deployment
- Deployment on Kubernetes

You can also try our cloud service managed by us where in a few simple steps you can get a trial.

Warm regards,

Iseoluwa
