I am building a test cluster with 1 head node and 1 compute node. When PXE booting the compute node I receive an error during the installation: Missing Device Assert Error. Checking the logs I see that it searches for several disks such as /dev/sda but doesn’t find it. When I install RHEL manually I see /dev/sda as the option. There is only 1 250GB hard disk in the server. I’m using BCM 10 with RHEL 9.3 OS.
The solution to this issue was to change the SCSI adapter from the VMware Paravirtual adapter to the LSI Logic Parallel adapter.
It’s likely the vmw_pcscsi kernel module needs to be loaded in the software image.
