Azure Migrate Configuration manager - "Add Discovery Source" gives error: Failed to fetch BIOS GUID for the server

Hello @Hindeep Singh Thank you for contacting us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to help!

The error message "Failed to fetch BIOS GUID for the server" indicates that Azure Migrate is unable to retrieve the BIOS GUID of the server you are trying to add as a discovery source. The BIOS GUID is used to uniquely identify and discover a server.

In some cases, this error can occur if the user account used to add the server does not have sufficient permissions to retrieve the BIOS GUID. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Ensure that the user account you are using to add the server has sudo privileges.

Try running the following command on the server to retrieve the BIOS GUID:

sudo dmidecode -s system-uuid

This command should return the BIOS GUID of the server. If it does not, there may be an issue with the server's BIOS configuration.

If the BIOS GUID is returned by the command, try adding the server again in the Azure Migrate Configuration Manager using the same user account.

If the issue persists, you can try using a different user account with sudo privileges to add the server as a discovery source.
