Hyper V role fails installation, requires multiple reboots.

Issue description:
Hyper V role installation fails, during start up and message shows up which states the role installation failed, and a rollback is occurring. 
Cause:
For me this was being caused by the system reserved partition (SRP). The SRP was in an offline state. 
Resolution:
I used DISKPART to bring the volume online, and to assign it a drive letter to hold it online. Also I turned Automount back on, it was previously disabled because it was causing the Dell DRAC firmware upgrade to fail. The role addition succeeded this time.
