  • 1.  Unable to install QRadar iso file in vmware workstation player nor virtualbox. Disk error.

    Posted Mon June 05, 2023 07:27 AM

    Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I didn't see it added to the forum discussion when I posted it.

    I am following this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/ibm-qradar-siem-a-step-by-step-bootcamp/

    The video All-In-One installation in the second section is free to preview which is where this issue occurs.

    While booting up the vm for the first time it gets stuck when (I'm assuming) it's scanning for the disk. I have imported the .ova file and it ran okay but installing it with the iso is not working. I was able to reach the root user login at the QRadar setup. It booted up in a similar way and did not have the disk error. I'm not sure if there is a difference between the .iso and .ova setups seem very different.

    These are the errors I'm getting. I couldn't fine anything for these errors online.

    • [create-partitions.sh] ERROR: failed to get system disks with return code 1
    • ERROR: The total disk space does not meet the minimum disk space requirement

    I have used vmware workstation player like in the video and virtual box with a pre-allocated disk size of 300GB.

    I'm installing it on a second hard drive because my C drive does not have enough space.

    I would appreciate if someone can help me with this. I want to do this course.

    Hi

    there are a couple of problems built in here.

    1st workstation player won't get you anywhere you need a workstation license for VMware or use virtual box.

    2nd obviously your 2nd disk is not found when CE setup checks for prerequisites before executing.

    3rd please use ova import to setup your new VM, iso file won't help you if you don't know exactly how it works (Not supported)

    pls use IBM CE setup documentation and Jose Bravos videos rather than 3rd party videos

    Background

    OVA setup will execute a silent setup of the network. So you should check your network connection after it's completed.

    Silent setup is great if it works but bad when you try to play around with network settings in your VM environment.

    Regards

    I know this is an old thread but I will throw this out there in case someone stumbles on it. I ran into this error trying to set up the new 7.5 CE from ISO to document the process for someone who was having issues. My issue seemed to be that the installer was not detecting NVME drives which is what VMWare Workstation was automatically recommending and defaulting to. No matter how big I provisioned them, they still "did not minimum requirements." I blew away the drives and recreated the minimum 250Gb one as a SATA drive and the installer was happy.

    One more point to check: usually in cases like this the disk has to be provisioned (pre-allocated / thick provisioned).

    Hi,

    in my VM Workstation I change the Disk type to SCASI and it worked fined!

    It was NVRAM disk previously
