Hello David,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Finally after reviewing the SAS card cabling on the PowerE950 server, we saw the drives.
The installation went through without a problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cordially,
Mohamed Kone

Hello Mohamed,
I understand that you're having trouble installing VIOS on your PowerE950 server using the HMC, and that the internal disks are not visible for installation. Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:
health tips
Verify that the HMC firmware and VIOS version are compatible with each other and with the PowerE950 server. You can check the compatibility matrix provided by IBM for this information.
Check the cable connections between the HMC and the PowerE950 server to ensure that they are secure and properly connected.
Make sure that the boot order is set correctly in the HMC. The VIOS installation media should be set as the primary boot device.
Try resetting the HMC and the PowerE950 server to their default settings and then attempt the installation again.
If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact IBM support for further assistance.
I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and successfully install VIOS on your PowerE950 server. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Hello,
We are having difficulty installing VIOS on our PowerE950 server (MT: 9040-MR9 / SN: 78DBADX)
from the HMC (MT: 7063-CR1).
The Power server internal disks are not visible to perform the installation.
NB: The version of the VIOS that you want to install (3.1.4.0).
Cordialy,
