OS installation issue

[David Willams]

I have the following message:-


* Software installation of this source (B3920 11.23 Foundation OE: DVD1)
is complete.

=======================================================================
USER INTERACTION REQUIRED:

To complete the installation you must now insert the
"B3920 11.23 Foundation OE: DVD2" CD.

Once this is done, press the key to continue:


Now I insert dvd2 and hit the return key.it still go further.It is like waiting & waiting.

Hi David:

Patience, grasshopper.

Most of the filesets are on the first DVD but there are some on the second and there is configuration to be done.

Regards!

Is there any activity on the DVD #2? How is your console connected to the server? If it is via a terminal server/session your connection may have timed out. Your console session should still be there, try reconnecting to the console and hit (ControlL) to refresh the console screen and you may be able to reconnect to the install session.

David,


>Once this is done, press the key to continue:

What happend after you hit the enter key afte inserting the 2nd DVD.
Do you see the LED blinking, on the DVD drive?

- If the DVD is not correct 2nd DVD , it will throw an error.

Cheers,
Raj.

After some 11 hrs I have an error like

NOTE: run_cmd: Process: 13674 (/sbin/mount): killed by signal: 2.

My guess is the dvd is the culprit

I am using an iso image now

and finished with disk1 when i give the second disk

>> Please make certain the correct media is in the drive.

Did you? Inspect the media and clean if needed. Insert it into your PC or another server. Can you read it?

Oooops, your other thread has been removed...



Again, it doesn't make any sense to use ** 2 ** different virtual drives - just use only **_1_** and swap the media:

well if you are using ISO images, you will need one for each DVD.
Then you will need to modify the DVD for the HPVM (it looks like this is what you are actually trying to install to) to reflect this change.
You could simply use hpvmmodify to point the virtual dvd to the second image, then push the return key in your installation window
