Workaround

First Affected Release

CSCwr18300

OS installation only works when the Cisco SCU ISO is mapped to virtual media Slot 3 and the OS ISO to Slot 2. Mapping either ISO to Slot 0, Slot 1, or using the KVM Map, or placing the OS ISO in Slot 3, blocks the installation. The system fails to boot the Cisco SCU ISO from slots 0, 1, or 3, causing installation failure.

Map the Cisco SCU ISO to vMedia slot 3 and OS image to slot 2.

2.0.1(250102)
