Error During Deploy Simplivity Host - step 23 of 31 - An exception occurred configuring OVC

[EduardoMoreira]

Hello All,

Could someone please help solve this problem?

I'm having an issue during deploy of two Simplivity nodes HPE Simplivity 380 Gen10 x-Large.

I already have a cluster with two other nodes added at past, working correctly... Now I need to add two more nodes.

My actual nodes have the OmniStack version 3.7.5 and I have executed downgrade of my new nodes for the same version.

During on deploy occured the error below on Deployment Manager Screen:

ERROR: step 23 of 31 - An exception occurred configuring Virtual Controller

And the log file of deployment manager I can see this error:

2019-06-05 13:22:25,604Z ERROR OmniStack-172.17.1.45 [c.s.d.o.Orchestrator] error(DeployLogger.java:98) - step 23 of 3

ne or more OmniStack hosts failed to deploy.

I have used the SVT380SP-2018_0529.02.iso package for update/downgrade all firmware of these new nodes, like the interoperability matrix.

Someone Know what is that?

Thank you so much.

At present Nodes are not customer deployable,the purchase of the node will include the initial deployment.

From ILO Boot into the BIOS of the server.
Under system utility >system configuration>select either the p816 or P408 controller.

DO NOT alter the virtual drives on the 208 this controller will only have 2 drives configured in RAID 1

There will be an option to delete array,
Once the drives are wiped retry the deployment,the virtual drives will get recreated during install for the front drives.

- Go to your E raid controller and create a RAID 1 with your 300GB SAS drivers

- Go to your P raid controller and Clear the array using system utilie (it should look like 5 raid 1 drives) 

- Execute factory reset, use an USB DRIVE.  

When you execute the HPe simplivity deployment manager, it creates the raid5 for you.
