Disabling the image preparation phase from the delivery controller allows the process to complete:
Set-ProvServiceConfigurationData -Name ImageManagementPrep_DoImagePreparation -Value $false
Resolution
Ensure the
san policy=OnlineAll is set as per
https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX202229
Uninstall the Virtual Delivery Agent if it was installed from the command line, then reinstall manually by right clicking on VDAServerSetup_7_15_3000.exe and selecting
Run as administrator from the context menu.
Ensure that the
"Machine Identity Service" is not listed in the
/exclude parameter during a command line install:
.\VDAServerSetup_7_15_3000.exe /quiet /components vda /controllers "dc1.domain.com dc2.domain.com" /enable_hdx_ports /enable_remote_assistance /noreboot /optimize /masterimage /exclude "Personal vDisk","Citrix Personalization for App-V - VDA"
Note: VDA versions after 7.15 CU3 require the
/install_mcsio_driver option to enable MCS I/O write cache for storage optimization.
