Install ESOS to Internal Drive 4TB

[Liam Hughes]

Hi All, 

Looking for some assistance please installing ESOS to an internal RAID volume, which is 4TB in size.

The error message I keep getting is the below : 

*** Enterprise Storage OS master_50546e9_dgvszq Install Script ***

### Checking for required tools...

### Verifying checksums...

esos-master_50546e9_dgvszq.img.tar.bz2: OK

/dev/sdc   ADATA    USB_Flash_Drive 0.00  7.2G usb  block:scsi:usb:pci

### Please type the full path of your destination device node (eg, /dev/sdz):

/dev/sda

### Proceeding will completely wipe the '/dev/sda' device. Are you sure (yes/no)?

yes

### Writing 'esos-master_50546e9_dgvszq.img.tar.bz2' to '/dev/sda'; this may take a while...

### It appears the image was successfully written to disk (no errors reported)!

### Large installation target detected; adding the 'esos_data' file system...

Error: partition length of 7797209088 sectors exceeds the msdos-partition-table-imposed maximum of 4294967295

Any assistance on how to complete this installation would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, 

Liam

Ouch, okay, need to think about this one a bit more... message is
because drive is too big for MBR, needs GPT. Work-around could be to
comment out the "Large installation target" section in install.sh
script and re-run. Or if you can make the PERC VD smaller (maybe a TiB
or two) that should work as well.

Thanks Marc, 

I shall give that a go - and failing that will find a smaller drive to use - probably easier in the long run.

Although always enjoy the challenge.

Cheers, 

Liam
