Install form ISO does not eject ISO #194
Comments

AOS 6.8 is not ejecting as well. Centos is in endless install loop. |
|
Can also confirm 6.5.6.6 has this issue, I have |
|
One possible workaround if you are using RHEL v9 or equiv. reboot --kexec RHEL 9.x Documentation said is a tech preview feature, so use at own risk. So this may only work for 9.x, I didn't check older OS's. |

Hello @nbodewitz-alterra @PS1c0m @darthVikes I'd like to look into this problem with you, so that we can redirect him to the right team. on my side, i have made the following successful test AOS 6.6.2 + PC 2023.4.0.2 => OK could each of you share with me:
so i will try to reproduce @PS1c0m looks like you are already in 6.8 , are you able to upgrade to 6.8.1.5 and made a test ? Thanks |
|
@darthVikes thanks, the "reboot --kexec" works with rocky8 and 9 both as it loads kernel without reboot. and kickstarter: Not sure if it's a rocky/kickstarter problem or packer nutanix plugin... |
|
Hello @PS1c0m just try right now with your packer config and kickstart file
i just create an empty file for your rocky/setup.sh, so i hve not this part of your process everything is working as expected, that's very strange can you launch me the command with PACKER_LOG=1 and share the output |
|
Still no luck, it stays in the "==> nutanix.auto-rocky9: Waiting for SSH to become available..." section as SSH never becomes available. VM is not booting up and every time it restarts the first time after kickstarter install it stays in the boot menu and waits until the kickstarter loads again. see the picture: Full output with PACKER_LOG=1 |

Hi @PS1c0m |
I can confirm that boot_type = "UEFI" worked and the build succeeded properly. |
|
Still a problem here using plugin 0.9.4. Our AOS is 6.5.6.6 (AHV-20220304.511). The "Windows Server 2019" setup loops until we manually stop the VM and eject the Windows ISO after setup starts the first reboot. We had no problem before with AOS 6.5.5 (AHV-20220304.478). The boot_type is and was already set to uefi. The hcl files are untouched. Only Nutanix was updated and the plugin to try the new version. Sadly no changes. We checked if we can use the internal Nutanix Playbooks (X-Play) to eject the ISO when WIndows setup reboots but this is a software triggered reboot inside the VM and so the event is not visible to the host/prism and cannot be used as a trigger here. |

I am having the same problem. OS of Packer image build RHEL8.6 Packer Project AOS 6.10 + PC 2024.2.0.1 + AHV 20230302.102001 |
|
The problem occurs randomly across different versions, and we cannot find a consistent method to reproduce it. in the meantime the in your config file and it will be normally OK |
|
Where does boot_priority = disk get set in the config? |
|
i will publish the release and the docs in few minutes :-D |
|
@darthVikes v0.10.0 is available with the corresponding doc, i let you check |

Running against a cluster that has AOS 6.5.6.5 After the Image install the ISO does not Eject I can run it on a 6.7 cluster and it ejects and continues the build as expected. I am not sure if this is Packer related or just an AOS bug.
