Razdc uses stock rocky Linux install CD. It must be online for the install to work. I would recommend just trying without firewall outbound filters, make sure internet is connected, if this is a VM remove any NAT connections and just bridge to local network.

well, i don't use cd's anymore since 2012.... internet is already connected. the only option that i have is "network". where i find firewall outbound filters?

"well, i don't use cd's anymore since 2012" - Congrats?

When  i say, "CD" I am referencing the ISO image in CD format. This can be used as digital media or as physical media burnt to a Compact Disc. Now that we have cleared the air of what I thought was obvious. Let move onto your actual problem.

" internet is already connected. the only option that i have is "network". where i find firewall outbound filters"

If you are only showing the network setup option and the installation in not continuing on its own, your machine is not obtaining an IP from your internal DHCP server which would mean networking configuration problem. Check you are properly connected to the network check VLANs or routes, Option 62 if you are using DHCP helpers in your L3 switch/router/server for VLANs. If you do not have a DHCP server you will need to configure a static IP that is valid to your LAN with valid DNS servers in order to resolve the Rocky Linux repos.

solved only with an usb dvd burned with razdc4.

but,  my network configuration is correct as the machine it shows a valid LAN IP, with GW, DNS and so on.

nevermind, as i told you, burned a dvd and install finished correct.

now, another issue appear: can't access via web or ssh, even with a restart.... it doesn't respond to ping..... ip a gives me the ip (correct); from the machine i can ping gw or google

Post #7
can you post the interface name when you run 'ip a'

eno1, altname enp0s25

This is known bug. I am working on a bug fix for the interface problem. The razdc interface should be hard coded to enp0s3 but it gets changed by the system during setup. This can be fixed by first moving the config:

mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3

Next edit the file using vi or nano and replace all references to eno1 or enp0s25 to enp0s3

reboot:  init 6

modified, but still eno1 with altname enp0s25 on "ip a' even afetr reboot or init 6....

ok then, I will need:

cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3

Then I can give you next steps

The MAC address needs to be added to ifcfg-enp0s3 config.

try getting output of:

cat /sys/class/net/eno1/address
