« Fatal: Mounting installer media » – LENOVO HX

21/08/2022 0 Par Dylan HUGER

During a cluster deployment at a customer. The Lenovo HX nodes gave me a hard time. When formatting nodes with the VM fundation, I had an error message telling me « Fatal: Mounting installer media ».
I knew then that it was potentially a communication problem between foundation and the IPMI. (The send request to upload the ISO did not pass). After investigating with colleagues, we have detect that the problem came from a disable option.
For a while, Lenovo has disabled CIM over https on these nodes.

The error may be related to another cause.

Connect to Xclarity Controller (USER : USERID | PASSWORD : PASSW0RD)

Go to BMC Configuration

Go to Network

Go to Service Port (In the menu on the right)

→ Activate CIM over HTTPS.
