What hardware are you installing on? Looks like foundation cant talk to ipmi.

UCS C220 M7S

Recommended installation  is being done via Cisco Intersight & Foundation Central but you can do it via the Foundation VM as well. Make sure the foundation VM can talk to 172.22.128.x and there is no firewall blocking that traffic.

All this requirement is done , but I  have a question, it's mandatory to use m2 disk to do foundation and install AHV ,AOS? 

 I have only two SSD disk and two HDD disk in the node
