It is much easier to foundation the single node with the correct versions.
im installing AOS version 6.5.1.6 on a 2 node cluster but it ends up in the result says “Warning skipping <ImagingStepRAIDCheckPhoenix(<NodeConfig(IP) because dependencies not met, failed task: :<ImagingStepInitIPMI(<NodeConfig(IP)>)]” so now Im resorting on phoenix imaging 1 node at a time but i dunno the next steps when i reach root@phoenix
Hey,
Yeah, I had to do this recently because I couldn't use Foundation.
Did you generate the Phoenix ISO, including the hypervisor image etc.?
You shouldn't land at a prompt, it should boot into an installer.
hmmm i just downloaded and tried Phoenix ISO only both from the portal and generated version but ends up in the prompt, sorry, so i need to use phoenix ISO and ahv ISO at the same time in 1 bootable usb drive? pls guide me.
Aha, I suspect that's the problem, I don't think you have the AOS and hypervisor baked in.
Take a look at this, ignore it being Lenovo
How to create a Phoenix ISO or AHV ISO from a Controller VM for the ThinkAgile HX Series
You're after the command that includes the AHV and AOS bits. You can do this from the foundation VM on a laptop etc. to make the ISO, then boot from it on your host.
It's discouraged as Jeroen said because foundation is easier, but occasionally, we have to do these things :)
I'll be in my office in a few hours time if you need step by step commands :)
thanks much for this @Kcmount will check this out once get back to the office
Hello @Kcmount actually the HW model is Supermicro SYS-6029P-TR but its not validated by Nutanix itself as it wasn’t came from Nutanix validation and Hardware test. is there any implication with regards to that?
BTW I haven’t tested the commands you gave to me yet but will update you once I do. thanks much sir!
Hey, not sure if it will work but its worth a try :)
