This one is fixed now. Thanks.

Ken, We think that's most likely the cause. I've started the webex meeting and have sent you an invitation. Thanks, Brett

Brett, I have a legacy image that I have been using for all my tests. Do I need a special image? Yes, I can do a Webex whenever your guys can do one. -Ken

Hi Ken, Your method should also work. Do you use the legacy windows iso image (in your dvd) or the UEFI windows? Also would you be available for a quick webex now? Else, please suggest a good time to do so. I will make myself and couple of other Cisco engineers available during that time frame to help you troubleshoot this issue.

My installation was different. I have a USB DVD drive on one of the ports and a USB Key with the driver in the other port. I did use the VKVM to do the install. I didn't have to map anything since they are local on the UCSE module. Can you test it in this way and verify it works there? BTW, how did you attach images to your post? -Ken

Sorry, sending again. Copy-paste images did not work. I have now attached the snapshots. Hi Ken, I tried to reproduce the issue locally but I do not see the same error message. I want to make sure that the mapping is done correctly. The way I do it is; 1. I copy the driver folder (downloaded from the beta website) into a removable usb key. 2. I begin the windows installation, by mapping the windows iso image in the vKVM. 3. At the point where installation asks for the driver, I plug in the removable usb key into the local machine (that runs the GUI and vKVM) and map this Removable Disk from inside the vKVM. I do this by tick marking the mapped checkbox across "Removable Media" in the vKVM. See snapshot from my vkvm. 4. After this step, I go back to the vkvm console, click browse and select the driver ³folder². See snapshot 5. After clicking OK, the driver gets installed. See snapshot. Let me know if it still does not work for you. We could do a quick webex to troubleshoot this further.

Nitthya, When you point to the directory, it automatically points to the INF. I have no choice. -Ken

Hi Ken, I'd like to confirm your LSI firmware installation as well. Please follow the steps below and send over the data. 1. On the router type: ucse session bmc 2. When prompted enter user/password as admin/password 3. From BMC prompt type: scope chassis 4. And now type: show storageadapter detail Thanks, Brett

Hi Ken, The snapshot says that you pointed to a .inf file while installing drivers. Try the folder instead.

Hi Ken, Thanks for the screenshot. Regarding your Windows 2008 R2 installation, which edition are you attempting to install - i.e. Datacenter, Enterprise, Standard ...etc. ? Thanks, Brett

RE: Unable to install Win2008 R2 natively on UCSE

2012-04-18T00:29:25Z

Hi Ken, Thank you for sending the snapshot over. My first impression is that the driver file could be wrong. Please grab the file under Drivers option in the following link; http://developer.cisco.com/group/ucse/docs Filename: MID 1477491 W2K8 R2 x64 Signed... and while pointing to the driver , make sure that you point only to the folder and not to individual file within the folder. Try to resume installation after that and let me know if you see the same error as before. Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this. Thanks, Nithya

Look for "UCSE Install Failure.jpg". You can delete the others, they got copied up there by mistake. -Ken

Hi Ken, Please upload your file using the steps below, then let us know the filename. 1. Connect to ftp.cisco.com via anonymous ftp. 2. Files must be uploaded into a folder called 'incoming', which is not visible to anonymous users If you are using a text-based ftp client, type the command "cd incoming" If you are using a GUI ftp client such as FileZilla, enter 'incoming' manually as the destination for the remote site 3. Upload the file as normal. You will not be able to see it on the server, as commands to list the files in that folder have been disabled. You may see error messages related to that. NOTE: You cannot upload a file with the same name more than once as this creates the potential for other users to overwrite the files you have uploaded. If you need to re-upload the same file, either use a new filename or ask the Cisco employee you are working with to remove the file from the server. Thanks, Brett

It finds the raid controller driver and points to it, then pops up and says: "The [LSI MegaRAID SAS PCI Expess ROMB (E:\megasas2.inf)] device driver could not be installed. Contact your vendor for an updated driver."

Brett, Would you be able to point Ken to a shared server so he can drop his snapshot there? Hi Ken, Could you in the meanwhile type over the exact error message you saw and is the failure immediately after you install drivers? Or while the drivers are getting installed? Thanks, Nithya
