Verifying the System Platform server hardware

After Selecting the type of keyboard, the System Platform installer automatically performs a hardware check of the server platform. Since the servers supported by Avaya must meet all prerequisites for the System Platform , any platform options, and a specific solution template, the server hardware check normally passes. In this case, the System Platform installation proceeds transparently to the next phase, Verifying the System Platform image on the DVD. However, in the rare circumstance when the hardware check halts the System Platform installation, one or both of the following messages appear. (In the following examples, the first number represents what hardware resources the system nominally requires, and the second number represents what hardware resources the server actually has available for the system.)

The installation is going to abort due to the following reasons:

• The expected minimum size of hard disk is 80 GB, but the actual number of hard disk is 40 GB.

• The expected number of hard disk is 2, but the actual number of hard disk is 1.

Or:

The installer has detected the following problems:

• The expected number of CPU(s) is 2, but the actual number of CPU(s) is 1.

Do you still want to continue the installation?

In either case, capture the exact details of the error message and contact your Avaya technical support representative for further instructions.

Note

For any instance of the latter message, do not continue with the System Platform installation.
