HyperV Gen2 VM for Wazuh OVA Edition?

[Steven Kan]

I would like to run Wazuh in a VM on HyperV. I downloaded the OVA file, changed the extension to TAR, and extracted the .vmdk file, then used Starwind Converter application to convert that to .vhdx growable format.

If If I create a Gen2 VM in HyperV, turn off Secure Boot in the UEFI, and point it to that .vhdx file, it will fail to boot with a Virtual Machine Boot Summary 1: SCSI Disk (0,0) The boot loader did not load an operating system. 

If I create a Gen1 VM in HyperV and point it to that same .vhdx, it will boot into Wazuh.

Are there any steps I missed to make this bootable in a Gen2 VM? CentOS 7 is allegedly compatible with Gen2 VMs if Secure Boot is disabled.

Thanks!

Hello Steven thanks for using wazuh!

I am very sorry for what happened, I have been researching and have not found any information about this. I will check with the team and let you know!

Anyway I would like to know if you have tried 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.
