DDVE Hyper-V install script error / Windows version
Hi,
when running the install script for DDVE on hyper V I get the following error:
ddve-hyperv-6.0.0.9-544198> .\ddve-installer.ps1
cmdlet ddve-installer.ps1 at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
(Type !? for Help.)
VMName: DD
Configuration: 4TB
This script should be run from Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 or later
I am running Windows 10.0.14393 Build 14393.
The script passage
If ((Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem).Version.Split(".")[2] -lt 9600)
returns true, but for the true condition breaks and returns the error message.
I helped myself by adding a "not":
If (!((Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem).Version.Split(".")[2] -lt 9600)) {
return "This script should be run from Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 or later"
}
Guess that's the way it should have been?
Rgds.

Hi Stefan,
Unfortunately your configuration is not supported. At the moment, Dell/EMC only support DDVE/hyper-V installations on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Essentially the check performed above is to ascertain the build number of the Windows version that is running which is the 3rd field in the Windows version being reported.
The main version, i.e. Windows 2012 vs Windows 10 is not being checked, so the script is blindly assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that it is a Windows 8/2012 system. That is why the error is being produced because the build number is not as expected.
There is another issue in that it's obviously misleading that it's saying Windows 8 (which has been used for internal purposes but not supported as mentioned above) - this is partly due to the fact that Windows 8 and Windows 2012 R2 have the same build numbers.
You can find the DDVE version 3 release notes here for supported configurations:

cheers, Rich.

Thanks Rich,
I'll stay tuned for a DDVE on hyper-v for Windows 10 & Server 2016.
