 After finished creating your VHD for VMRole, and
uploading using CSUPLOAD script, you may receive the following error:

because your VM size if 128GB which is not supported for VM Role. If you have
use Hypervisor to create default size VHD, you are out of luck. The maximum VHD
size suppored is 64GB and if you have 30+GB VHD, it will work with Small,
Medium, Large and Extra Large VM instances.

 

Solution:  Please
create a VHD size under or up to 64GB so you will not get this error.

    hi, I have a vhd of size 10.7 GB and still i get the same error. Looks like some issue with the decimal value in the csupload validation?

    It's not the actualy size of the VHD file.. it's the logical definition of the 'disk' within the virtual machine.. Sigh.. time to unpack the sysprep again...
