Jerry,

Is this addressed by your managed disk/snapshot work?
Comment 3 Jerry Keselman 2017-09-11 20:55:37 UTC 
I don't think so.  I am running SSA on 4 different Windows VMs that are completing but I am seeing filesystem errors in the log on some of them.  Also some issues with too much data throughput in a short amount of time - probably because I'm running them all concurrently - which could result in data missing.  This will require further investigation.
Comment 4 Dave Johnson 2017-09-21 14:36:27 UTC 
Brad, please weigh in on how big of a deal this is.  We set priority to medium but fear it should be higher.
Comment 5 Dave Johnson 2017-09-21 15:25:19 UTC 
Satyajit, just to be clear, this only affects Azure?  The application lists are successfully pulled from windows VMs on saw VMware or RHEV?

I spoke to Brad, he wants us confirm its not a specific OS (Jerry's comment 3 seems to indicate that) and that it is isolated to Azure.
Comment 7 Jerry Keselman 2017-09-22 16:43:12 UTC 
Again just to be clear - this is not an issue that occurs on *all* Windows VMs regardless of provider type.  Needs to be investigated certainly.  It would be nice to determine what the characteristics are for the Windows systems exhibiting this issue.

https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-smartstate/pull/45 fixes this issue.  This may be showing up in various ways in other open BZs as well - will have to search through my list.

https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-azure/pull/168 allows the most recent GEM version to be used which is now 0.2.4 which has been pushed out.
