OSProvisioningTimedOut error when trying to deploy pfsense from Azure marketplace

ebrenton · Aug 28, 2024, 10:52 PM

I am trying to create a new Azure VM using "pfSense Plus Public Cloud Firewall/VPN/Router" from the Azure marketplace.

I've tried 3 times now and received the same error every time...

The virtual machine is in a failed state.
OS Provisioning for VM 'StackpolePfSenseFWRouter' did not finish in the allotted time. The VM may still finish provisioning successfully. Please check provisioning state later. For details on how to check current provisioning state of Windows VMs, refer to https://aka.ms/WindowsVMLifecycle and Linux VMs, refer to https://aka.ms/LinuxVMLifecycle.Learn more about common virtual machine error codes.

Details:
Error code: OSProvisioningTimedOut
Provisioning state: Failed
Provisioning state error code: ProvisioningState/failed/OSProvisioningTimedOut
Guest agent status: VM status blob is found but not yet populated.

I've waited over 2 hours and it is still unresponsive.
Azure portal shows that the VM is running, but I cannot connect via SSH or HTTP(s).
If I try to restart the VM it just hangs, then errors out.

Thank you.

What do you see on the virtual serial console? Or on a screenshot of the VM?

What machine size are you using?

Just tested using B1ms and it deployed fine:

Enter an option:

It does show a bunch of output from the Azure agent at the console when you initially connect.

I cannot connect via SSH, it simply times out.
Port 22 IS open and I tried the private and public IP.
The size I'm using is DS1 v2. I don't think I even had B1ms as an option when I ran the deployment.

stephenw10 · Aug 29, 2024, 10:55 AM

If you look at the serial console or diagnostic screenshot in Azure what does it show?

Hmm, the mce NIC should not appear there. You are just launching the image in DS1 v2? Any specific zone? Anthing custom in the options?

ebrenton · Aug 29, 2024, 11:29 AM

This is in the US central zone, and no, no custom options.

Also, it will not let me log in with the credentials I entered during setup.
I AM able to get in with root, and when I list /etc/passwd, the username I specified during setup is not listed, nor is admin.

stephenw10 · Aug 29, 2024, 5:14 PM

Hmm, I can't replicate that.

Try deploying it without 'accelerated networking' enabled if it was enabled previously. Though in testing here it deploys fine with or without it.

ebrenton · Aug 29, 2024, 5:26 PM

I was able to deploy the old fashioned way... download the iso, create a virtual disk and vm in Hyper-v Manager, and upload to Azure. The VM is up and running and I am configuring it.

I'm going to abandon the marketplace option for now, but thank you very much for all your help.

stephenw10 · Aug 29, 2024, 5:54 PM

Hmm, what image from the Marketplace exactly were you testing?

ebrenton · Aug 29, 2024, 7:15 PM
