Hi, I'd like to know if there is a known issue installing harvester 1.1.0 from ,iso via Virtual-Media on a server? I've been trying to install 1.1.0 and it keep failing at this stage (see screenshot), tried on multiple servers. I don't see that issue when installing on a Virtual-Machine. Would there be a way to see more log from the install process to know why it stall there ?

I don't see a reason why. I have not installed with virtual media with 1.10 as fa as I remember. I did with 1.0 though I'm thinking rather about a compatibility issue with the hardware used

How can I check or can know about hardware compatibility ? sound like a good place to start considering installing from iso is working elsewhere.

Does SLE Micro 5.2 ISO gets installed fine (with Virtual Media) ?
Select "5.2" and download
SUSE-MicroOS-5.2-DVD-x86_64-GM-Media1.iso
or
SUSE-MicroOS.x86_64-5.2.0-Default-SelfInstall-GM.install.iso

likely issue is mounting the ISO over the network

The virtual media thing caused me a tremendous degree of grief. Eventually, I ended up setting up iPXE and it went "smoothly" as in, cluster up and running in half an hour.

I really recommend avoiding the work arounds since they're more confusing than just setting up a PXE config
But the documentation for PXE is a mess. I'm working on a blog about doing it now, but I need to solve some other issues before I decide whether it's worth the effort.

Thanks, good to know that there is a better success rate with PXE for the installation, I was about to try that path, now I will !
turns out installing from PXEboot worked on those servers. Thanks for your help!

I have used virtual media to install harvester v1.1.0 ISO through IPMI in supermicro machine successfully. It took close to 30 to 40 mins in 1 node.
