In my kickstart file I have the following line to clear all partitions on a Dell BOSS device for Dell PowerEdge R640 hosts.
clearpart --firstdisk="DELLBOSS VD" --overwritevmfs
However the installation fails at this step with the following error:
Failed to clear partitions on disk t10.ATA_____DELLBOSS_VD_[…]: 2: invalid boot partition number (no such partition)
Kickstart Install
esxi_install.log
Switching to the shell and looking up the devices shows the following:
Disks
The current workaround is to delete die virtual RAID on the BOSS device and recreate it.
I’m using the ISO VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0.0.update02-17867351.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A05.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks!
