AHV ISO Image Fails | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

I have some HX1021 nodes that are bare metal right now and need to have AHV installed. I’ve tried multiple AHV ISO images and AOS ISO images, but every time I try mounting them to install them, I get this error: “6.486252] pstore: unknown compression: deflate.” I’ve tried multiple versions of these ISOs and have tried downloading them from my local computer and from my jump host. I don’t believe they are getting corrupted when being downloaded. Anyone have any advice?

You cant install AHV via the ISO. You need to install a node with foundation (for the official hardware) or run the CE installer (for test labs running on non official hardware).
