I tied this on another box with exactly the same AS 3.0 server setup and it worked first time. The only difference was that this box had Compaq on it the other box had Gateway on it.

There is no documentation on this error...<BR /><BR />I'll see if there's another machine I can put the CMS on.

I have exactly the same problem on a DL360.<BR /><BR />So far, I'm stuck...

I'll reinstall manually, but one could wonder why they provide an automatic install :(<BR /><BR /> Fri, 06 Aug 2004 13:40:13 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/internal-error-when-installing-sim-4-1-on-redhat-as-3-0/m-p/3296092#M3317 Luc Corbeil 2004-08-06T13:40:13Z Re: Internal Error when installing SIM 4.1 on Redhat AS 3.0 https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/internal-error-when-installing-sim-4-1-on-redhat-as-3-0/m-p/3296093#M3318 Got it, it was the DNS resolution of my host that failed, a correction to /etc/hosts did the trick. Sad that the error message wasn't more verbose...
