I am running the Azure Site Recovery planner tool to provide us with some information for our local VMware environment, so we can later setup Azure Site Recovery.
I'm having problems with the Bandwidth checker command which is failing to give me the bandwidth we would require to Azure
Here is the command I run:
ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe -Operation GetThroughput -Directory "C:\AzureSiteRecovery\PlannerTool\ProfileData" -Virtualization VMware -VMListFile "C:\AzureSiteRecovery\PlannerTool\ProfileVMList.txt" -StorageAccountName MyStorage -StorageAccountKey XXXXXXXXXXXX
Here's the error I get:
VMWARE TO AZURE ASR DEPLOYMENT PLANNER
Finding achievable throughput from server 'MyServer' to Azure storage account 'MyStorage'. It might take from few minutes to hours based upon bandwidth availability and number of VMs in the given filename. Please wait...
Creating VHDs
Uploading VHD files to storage account: MyStorage...
Error in uploading files. Failed to calculate achievable throughput.
Possible reasons:
STORAGE_COMMUNICATION_ERROR. Unable to communicate to Azure Storage blob. Check network connectivity to Azure and if bandwidth from on-premises to Azure is very low.
Deleting 'asrvhdfile*' files from storage account...
Successfully deleted files.
Deleting 'asrvhdfile*' files from local machine...
Successfully deleted the files.
Get throughput operation failed.
I can see its placing the VHD files in the Blob storage so there is a connection there.
It seems the same issue as this post: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/529111/storage-communication-error-unable-to-communicate.html
However I have no idea where to enter the code they mentioned in the Azure site recovery planner tool.
I have excluded this vm from any proxies and checked the firewall url and ports required are allowed.
A speed test shows 80MB up and down
Running an AZ speed test PowerShell test shows I'm getting about 24 MS response times from my Azure region
I can upload files to the blob storage manually using Azure Storage Explorer, and see an upload of 80mbps
I have also tested this tool in a hyper v environment (home lab) and have the same error
Has anyone had any experience with this issue or have any suggestions I can try, thanks in advance.
