Media Manager help

[WirSysPlus]

Client wanted more advanced recording. Told him about Media Manager. He bought a NUC from Dell with Linux Ubuntu(?) pre-installed.
I downloaded both the application server software and the Avaya USB creator, made the USB and went to the client site to install.
After an hour screwing around with the Dell SecureBios crud, I finally was able to boot from the USB. System didn't install. A message indicating a file error was displayed.
Tried a different USB, same issue.
Anyone know what I need to do?

Which Dell model are you using and which Application Server release are you trying to load?

 

[WirSysPlus]

Optiplex 7011 (? don't remember off the top of my head).
App server abe-11.0.4800-17_e16.iso (matches the client IPO).

 

[hibroth]

The R 11.0.4800 is a CentOS distrbution, you should be able to install normally even though it has been declared EoL meanwhile.
Sure you chose the right option loading to the USB (install vs upgrade)?

Update and another help request.
After a few trips out to the client with no success using attended and non-attended 11.0 and 11.1 ISO's, I had the brilliant idea that maybe the Avaya USB Creator only work with Windows.
Seems to be true...
Have a laptop I am going to recycle. Has Win10. Just for grins, I attempted to install the ISO on it. It was working until it didn't.
The installation stopped at "Storage Activation".
The actual error message is "vgcreate failed for rootvg: 06.43.23.687 ERROR : Failed to write VG rootvg."
I have the choice to "File Bug" or "Exit"

Can anyone help?

When I have tried to install application server natively on small computers I have failed miserably at my efforts with several different micro form factor systems. The last NUC I got it to work on was a 5th gen. It's either a storage or NIC issue or it's unhappy with UEFI and Secure Boot in different ways.

The new 12.1 version I can get to install on almost any system. It's refreshing to have it work without drama, sometimes we have to disable Secure Boot, but for the most part it's not difficult to get working on different hardware.

If you're trying an older version below 12.1 I couldn't strongly enough suggest to just load the computer with windows and use whichever HyperV version you want and it will work like a charm. I usually use the windows Wi-Fi for the system IP and the built in network adapter for the HyperV so it can be used without NAT.
