Suspend OS Installation

An initiated OS installation can be suspended when running on error or you can cancel it. The following states occur:

Failed

Once an installation failed, an error message is displayed in the Details portlet which explains the reasons of the error and possible actions to overcome it. You either have to edit the OS installation or to perform some other actions, before you can resume the installation. For example, you may have to deploy a missing image.

Cancel Pending

A stop request is in progress. Press Refresh to achieve the stopped state.

Stopped

The OS installation has been stopped successfully.

To cancel an initiated OS installation, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the All Computers folder and double-click the computer with the initiated OS installation in the right hand list.
  2. Click on the OS Installation Parameters node beneath the computer.
  3. Depending on the current state, you either have to stop an activated/pending OS installation or you have to abort an installing OS installation.
