Re: struck at Installation.... little urgent plz
I would suggest the following:
1) consider to create a hardware mirror on your disks first
http://docs.hp.com/en/J6369-90071/index.html
2) check the firmware of the blades
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3331044&swItem=ux-63450-1&prodNameId=3331045&swEnvOID=54&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=1
System FW : 04.05
BMC FW : 05.32
iLO-2 MP FW : T.03.06
PDH FW : 50.07
UCIO FW : 03.0b
PIC FW : 00.05
http://docs.hp.com/en/12076/vMediastatement.pdf
3) try to install with another dvd drive or use the vMedia
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: struck at Installation.... little urgent plz
1) How many times did you try to rescan? I'd at least try it several times.
2) Try the vMedia install from another PC with a different type of DVD drive - it might respond/spin up faster - you could take this further by using a x-over cable from the blade enclosure OA straight to the PC to remove any slow network components.
3) If you've done lots of HP-UX installs then you should be familiar with Ignite? If you can find another HP-UX server somewhere and get it on the network, then you can configure it as an Ignite Server, install the 11.31 images onto the Ignite Server and install via network boot.
4) The only other option I can see is to get a USB DVD drive and attach via the dongle direct to the front of the BL860. That removes the slow vMedia interface from the problem completely.
Do you actually have a call open with support as well? No-one here *has* to help - we do it out of the goodness of our hearts! But the response centre is contractually bound to help you resolve these sorts of things!

Re: struck at Installation.... little urgent plz
I have only two internal disks here..
The 11i v3 release date is March 2008
I have tried the vMedia Install but again when I click on Virtual Media Tab and hit the Launch button.. I just get a Blanc Screen
SYSREV
Current firmware revisions
MP FW : T.03.06
BMC FW : 05.32
EFI FW : ROM A 07.13, ROM B 07.13
System FW : ROM A 04.05, ROM B 04.05, Boot ROM A
PDH FW : 50.07
UCIO FW : 03.0b

To summerise I have connected a External USB DVD Drive to the iLo. and connected the console to it using the Null Cable.
There is no OS Loaded on the Server at the minute.
I always get struck at point where it "asks to enter the index corresponding to ..." and then I have repeatedly rescanned "r" option.
I have also tried that using a different DVD Drive.
I have also configured the DNS
Current DNS Configuration:
S - DHCP for DNS Servers : Enabled
D - DHCP for DNS Domain Name : Enabled
R - Register with DDNS Server : Yes
N - DNS Domain Name : ma.adp.com.
1 - Primary DNS Server IP : 13.8.72.175
