Troubleshooting VSA automated/scripted installation (2008524)

Symptoms

  • You may see the errors:

    "The system cannot find the path specified"

    "ImportError: Module use of python26.dll conflicts with this version of Python"

Purpose

Provide answer to some issues that may occur during the scripted installation as well as a checklist to prevent issues.

Resolution

Verify that:

  • Networking is correctly configured. for more information refer vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA) network troubleshooting article.
  • The hosts which are VSA cluster members are NOT in vCenter inventory, the installer will add them in to vCenter Server.
  • You are using the correct ISO/CD. The VSA automated installation iso file has a name like VMware-vsa-en-1.0.0.Y-XXXXXX.iso

Issue:

D:\>install.bat administrator <password>

D:\>c:\Python27\python.exe install.py administrator vmware

Issue: While running the following command you may get the error:

D:\>install.bat administrator <password>

D:\>c:\Python27\python.exe install.py administrator vmware

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "install.py", line 6, in <module> import socket

File "c:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 47, in <module> import _socket

ImportError: Module use of python26.dll conflicts with this version of Python.

Solution:

It is recommended that you use the .exe file instead of the .bat file.
