"Terminal screen is not large enough to run the installation script. Please resize the terminal and rerun the script."
Ok, so I was installing the Nutanix Community Edition 2.0 (download here: https://next.nutanix.com/discussion-forum-14/download-community-edition-38417 ) on a HP Z620. These boxes do not have a videocard onboard, so you have to be present at the machine instead of using AMT for this!
Booting up from a freshly made USB stick, running some time through the installer and then, yes this odd little fellow came along: "Terminal screen is not large enough to run the installation script. Please resize the terminal and rerun the script."
Well, what does my best friend Google has to say about that. Well actually very little.
Some folks say well put the box in LEGACY mode in the Bios. But this version needs UEFI so that is a no-go.
But then a solution came to mind. What if we go into Phoenix, enable SSH and do the installation from there?
So here we go:
- Get the IP address of the box. This is probably a DHCP address. Otherwise ifconfig will get it for you 😉
- Start SSH:
systemctl start sshd.service - SSH into the box from a workstation. User root, PW nutanix/4u
- restart the installation with ./ce_installer && screen -r
And there she goes, off to another new CE installation.
Have fun
