Issue 2
Description
While deploying Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 from OS Deployment of Lifecycle Controller, installation
stops with the following error:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk0\DR0.
This issue may occur due to any of the following reasons:
• Virtual Media is in the attached state and a media is not mapped.
• Virtual Media is in the auto-attached state and a media is not mapped.
• Virtual Media being presented by the AVCT SIP and Virtual Media from iDRAC8 in the detached
state.
• Due to failure to load drivers for RAID controllers on the system.
NOTE: It does not occur with Virtual Media in the detached state. It also does not occur without the SIP
and with Virtual Media in the detached from iDRAC8.
