Thanks for the clarification, Miroslav.

We are struck up in the highlighted place. While rebooting first time, boot is not detecting HDD.
I tried with 4 different servers and in all the servers, while reboot, HDD is not detecting (ie., Boot Failed, Hard Disk 0 is shown). Whereas I tried installing Ubuntu in one of these servers which is successful.
Kindly let me know what could be the problem.

Also, What is CentOS version, MOS 5.0 is installing with?

Below are the server details where I am trying to deploy MOS 5.0

Server Details:
Vendor -> IBM x3650 M3
RAM -> 8GB
HD -> 146GB and 300GB

Thanks and Regards,
Gandhi Rajan

Subject: Re: Boot MOS 5.0 does not complete successfully

Greetings Gandhi,
Yes, all correct.
When you install MOS, first time it boots from ISO image or from CD/DVD/USB and deploys CentOS as master node operating system.
After that, it ejects ISO and performs first time boot from HDD. (Please check if Hard Drive or proper RAID array is set as first boot device on master node).

During the first boot it asks if you want to customize network settings and continue installation. First boot usually takes about 0.5 hour, and it is on fast SSD drive. So, with HDD drive Fuel 5.0 master node first boot and installation may easily take more than hour.
4.x installation goes faster, since it does not deploys every component into isolated container.
So, to answer on your question #9 - actual installation happens on first reboot, after the CD/DVD is ejected.

Master node is always deployed with Centos, while it has ability to install Ubuntu to OpenStack nodes. You don't need to change Centos or Ubuntu during the master node installation.
You should change which operating system to use during the new OpenStack environment creation, after the master node is installed.
And to the last question -
No, MOS 5.0 does not set PXE boot to first priority. Master node is the only node which needs HDD or RAID as first priority boot device.
Other nodes (OpenStack ones) require PXE to be set to first boot device, but not the master node.
Kind regards,
Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,

I tried to install Mirantis 5.0 ISO in bare metal and faced the below problem. Kindly help me in proceeding further.

Steps followed:

1.       Download MOS 5.0 ISO from http://software.mirantis.com/

2.       Copied ISO image in DVD

3.       Insert CD/DVD in Bare metal server (IBM x3650 M3)

4.       Reboot the Bare metal server

5.       Press F1 to set Boot order

6.       I have set boot order as ‘CD ROM’ as first priority and Hard disk as second priority

7.       Boot proceeded and got the below page

[cid:image001.png@01CF7F5B.F03413D0]


8.       Boot proceeded automatically till ‘Post Installation Script’ page. Observed Welcome to CentOS in blue screen that appeared. Is CentOS is installing instead of Ubuntu here. Kindly confirm? If so, How can I change CentOS to Ubuntu OS?

9.       Installation completed and CD automatically came out (I removed the external CD drive which I inserted in USB ports) and server rebooted automatically. Is this mean installation is successfully completed?

10.   While reboot, Boot does not proceeded to home page. Instead it is looking for OS image again. Please let me know, How should I proceed from here?

Thanks and Regards,
Gandhi Rajan
