HCI1.8P1 install abort hardware_check failed

SHINSASA

Hi,

I try to install HCI1.8P1 to H300S(H410S).

I prepared usb memory.(16GB)

I download Solidfire install (RTFI) image file from mysupport.netapp.com.

I make RTFI usb memory by etcher.

1.RTFI usb memory in to H300S and Power On.

2.Invoke Boot menu by F11 key.

3.Solidfire logo image appeard.

[Starting SolidFire RTFI magnesium-patch2-dev]

type [ Yes ] and Enter.

4.Perform extensive hardware tests on this node(Yes , no)

type [ no ] because I dont want to wait..

5.Waring: This is an active node in cluster = "hci-jp-internal"

Proceed (yes, no)

type [ Yes ] to continue.

6. flashing firmware

7.hardware_check failed.

Ingnore errors and continue( ALT-F8 to display, ALT-F7 to return) (Yes , No)

I insert [ ALT key and F8 key] 

return [Alt + F7 ]

 

I chose [ yes ] and continue...

Is it correct?

If not good what do I have to do?

Best regards,

No problem.

Go to https://docs.netapp.com/sfe-122/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.sfe-api%2Fhome.html&resultof=%22api%22%20%22reference%22%20%22refer%22%20%22guide%22%20%22guid%22%20 and search for "drive".

There you'll find various drive-related API methods (see at the bottom, for an example of a request and response).

You can use Postman or some other approach, but that is too complicated compared to PowerShell.

See this container here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/scaleoutsean/solidshell

First run this (you'll need Docker installed:

sudo docker run -it scaleoutsean/solidshell

That will take you to a PowerShell session in the container.

Then once inside of the container run the commands you wish with Drive ID of the drive in question. You can compare the output vs. some other drive that didn't report errors:

I was using SolidFire Demo VM so I don't have real disks.

When you're done, just run "Exit" + ENTER to exit.

Then you can remove SolidShell container and its image if you don't plan to use it again.

sudo docker stop <container-id>; sudo docker rmi <container-image-id>
