Installation
Attempting installation from a second DVD drive results in system message
Issue If you attempt to install a Smart component from the second DVD drive of a
system that contains multiple DVD drives, you are prompted to insert a DVD
into the first drive and the component is not installed. For example, consider a
system that has two DVD drives, the first of which is the D:\ drive and the
second is the E:\ drive. If you attempt to install a Smart component such as
Virus Throttle from the E:\ drive, the system assumes it is running from D:\
and issues a message about the missing DVD. This problem also occurs if your
system runs an iLO DVD drive as a second drive and if you use CD media.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround To avoid this issue, run the Smart components from first DVD drive.
