Thread: Unable to install on Dell PowerEdge 1950

    Default Unable to install on Dell PowerEdge 1950

    Hello,

    I am unable to use the Software installation method on a Dell PowerEdge 1950.

    When I get to the license agreement screen I can press Agree or Disagree. After pressing Agree I see a error messages flashing by which is too fast to read. I do see that it is a Python error of sorts. When I press Back I see this message Flash again.
    I can only select Shut Down or Reboot.

    The onboard disk is a 73GB mirror on the onboard Perc6/i
    I also have a Infortrend A24S disk array connected through a SAS5/E card.

    When I run from CD I correctly see the HW raid controller and volume. Under Software raid I see the 4.5TB Infortrend LUN. That must mean that the controllers are detected.

    According to the Quick start guide I should create a 2GB LUN on the Perc controller. So I created a 2000MB large logical disk but I still do not get a screen with the disks in the software installer.
    Could this happen because I have a disk larger then 4TB?

    Regards,

    Seth

    Default

    I just removed the cable to the 4TB LUN and the installer still fails.

    I also do not get the entire EULA, it is just 1 page. When I install to a VM i get multiple pages I need to scroll through before accepting.

    Regards,

    Seth

    Question Resolution?

    Hi there,

    Did you ever resolve this problem?

    Is this not an issue if you boot off a USB-DOM instead of the PERC?

    Thanks

    If it can go wrong, it generally will!
