The following table describes possible causes of problems with OS installation tasks and provides
actions to correct them.

Corrective actions

Cause/Symptom

Verify the

remote repository

is online and accessible from

the target server.

The remote repository was offline or is not accessible.
(Remote repository items only)

Log into the target managed system through the remote
console and complete the installation.

Incomplete installation (Interactive installation only)

Select an OS version that is compatible with the server
hardware architecture.

The selected OS is incompatible with the server
hardware.

Verify that an appropriate PSP exists in the Insight Control
for Linux repository and that it is associated with the
correct OS versions.

No PSP applicable to this OS and version was present
in the Insight Control for Linux repository.

Correct the kernel append line and rerun the tool.

The optional kernel append line syntax was incorrect.

Verify that the OS exists in the Insight Control for Linux
repository.

The selected OS has been deleted from the Insight
Control for Linux repository.

Perform the following actions:

Copy the proper OS files into the appropriate /opt/
repository

subdirectories.

Verify that the correct subdirectories were created in
the appropriate /opt/repository subdirectory, if
required (SLES only, CD1, CD2, DVD, and so on).

The proper files were not copied from the installation
media into the appropriate /opt/repository/os
subdirectories.

Correct the installation configuration file and copy it to
the appropriate /opt/repository subdirectory.

The user-edited installation configuration file was
invalid.
(RHEL Kickstart and SLES AutoYaST installation
