Restore failes due to ENA missing

[ldeeder]

I am trying to restore a Windows 10 PC to AWS. The process runs fine until the finalization and I get the two following errors:

Code: Select all

3/12/2021 11:10:11 AM Error    Importing VM Error: Failed to import machine to Amazon EC2: Enhanced networking with the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) is required for the 't3a.small' instance type. Ensure that you are using an AMI that is enabled for ENA.

TIA, Larry

Can you try using a different instance size and see if that works?

Yep. Tried many different install types. T2’s and a few others are not supported. Tried m’s and T3.

I was ONLY able to get this resolved by opening a case with AWS Support.
The steps that they recommended are below (Windows 10 & Server 2016):
1> Install the ENA Network Driver - AwsEnaNetworkDriver.zip
2> Restore to a t2.medium

That is it! A missing NIC driver. Many hours of frustration for a 5 minute fix.
