2.4.6

Windows 2012 R2 with Hyper-V
Chronology:
- Download VHD appliance from Zabbix.org
- Unzip and copy to the Cluster Shared Volume
- Create a new VM 1024Mo RAM, 1 vCPU, 1 NIC, No CD, connect the VHD as IDE
- Start the VM, get the Suse Logo.
- I log in with the root user into the appliance then start yast2
- Set up the Keyboard, the NIC, the NTP, and the DNS
Seems good then open a web browser on a worstation and test the Zabbix portal. I can log in using the admin user account.
All good.
Then I restart the VM.
I get the message:
Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14d....-part1 to appear:..... Could not find /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14d....-part1
Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/14d.....-part1? (Y/n)
I tried to press Y or n but nothing appends.
I then restart the VM, Select Advanced options for Zabbix_2.4_x86
Then select the first line Zabbix_2.4_x86_64_13.1 [ VMX ], with Linu
I got the same result.
I then restart the VM, Select Advanced options for Zabbix_2.4_x86
Then select the second line Zabbix_2.4_x86_64_13.1 [ VMX ], with Linu
And it works again, I was able to login on the Zabbix portal (web site).
If the Zabbix server is unable to boot alone, we are losing the entire Zabbix services until a manual intervention is done which could be long because some other critical apps are taking all the "recovery" time.
In the image, the "by-id" is used but it is not the best choice because the device ID is changing each time the image is mount on another "hardware" (including virtual hardware).
The resolution is:
Login as root:
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 64.4 GB, 64425615360 bytes, 125831280 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Could you change this in the image to enhanced the friendliness?
