Deploy Azure stack in a hardware with minimal hardware requirements

Question

Is there any way to install azure stack development kit in a hardware with 24GB RAM, 1TB HDD and 4Core CPU.

We have tried to modify the power shell script followed the trace to bypass the RAM and CPU minimum requirements. Then we started deployment not by wizard. We executed the script which is being called by the wizard in backend. We dint give any inputs to the script except password.

We used Azure active directory for identity and federation service.

The installation was going up to AzS-ADFS01 and it was stopped. We have check the deployment. Hyperv is is not running, It seems there is some problem in azure stack networking side I guess.

Could you please help me to install azure stack and to evaluate the experience of azure private cloud in my sandbox.

Best Regards, Radhakrishnan Rk

Answer 1

The Azure Stack installer will configure a couple (10) of machines with a specific amount of memory. Running all these machines together will not work on the amount of memory so the configuration needs to be changed.

The configuration for these machines can be adjusted within a file called “PoCFabricSettings.xml” that you can find in the folder “Drive:\AzureStackInstaller\PoCFabricInstaller”.
