Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant Does Not Work
Correctly When Installing an ISO Image of the Red Hat Operating System Using
NFS
|
Issue:
If you elect to install the Red Hat operating system from an ISO image that is
exported using a network file system (NFS) server, profiles for the Red Hat
installation will not be propagated to the installation. This will result in the
following behavior:
-
Anaconda will prompt the user for the installation type (desktop, client,
server, or minimal).
-
Individual packages will not be pre-selected based on the installation
type, and the user will have to select these manually.
|
Affected operating systems and
software:
|
Workaround:
When using Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant to install the Red Hat
operating system, do not use an ISO image exported using NFS.

AHCI device driver to disk (install target) but you might need to install this
driver using Windows Device Manager.

Affected operating systems and
software:
|
Workaround:
Any of the following is an acceptable workaround for this issue:

documentation.

Restart the Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant installation, and
accept the automatic Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant updates when
presented with the option.
