However, in general it's recommended to use standard partitions on the OS disk rather than LVM.

Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is supported and may be used on the OS disk or data disks in Azure virtual machines. The vfat kernel module must be enabled in the kernel. The maximum size that's allowed for the VHD is 1,023 GB. If you use VirtualBox, select Fixed size as opposed to the default dynamically allocated option when you create the disk.Īzure supports Gen1 (BIOS boot) & Gen2 (UEFI boot) Virtual machines. You can use Hyper-V Manager to convert the disk to VHD format, or you can use the convert-vhd cmdlet. For more details about how to use Hyper-V Manager to install an operating system image, see Install the Hyper-V Role and Configure a Virtual Machine.Īzure doesn't support the VHDX format.

This section assumes that you've already obtained an ISO file from the Red Hat website and installed the RHEL image to a virtual hard disk (VHD). This section shows you how to prepare a RHEL 6, RHEL 7, or RHEL 8 virtual machine using Hyper-V Manager. Link to Redhat's Product Lifecycle Hyper-V Manager

Uploaded images that are, at or beyond EOL will be supported on a reasonable business effort basis. Be aware of versions that are End Of Life (EOL) and no longer supported by Redhat.
