Finally I found the solution
editing the following files
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf # Name, Domain and Search servers
/etc/HOSTNAME # Shortname of the server
/etc/sysconfig/network/routes # Default gateway information
/etc/resolv.conf
domain localdomain
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.116.100
cat /etc/sysconfig/network/routes
default 192.168.116.1
Thanks for support

As noted in the installation guide, Avamar Virtual Edition is not supported on thin provisioned disks. See page 17 of the Install guide. The disks for the data partitions on this AVE need to be reprovisioned as thick disks.
With regards to your specific issue, the installer workflow is looking for name servers in resolv.conf and it is not finding them or not finding enough of them (I don't know if the sequence numbers are indexed from 0 or 1):
There is also an error about eth1 but I don't know if this is related to the install problem.
Correct the disk configuration, add the name servers to resolv.conf and try again. If it's still failing, take a look at the configuration for eth1.

Dear ianderson
Thanks a lot for your reply
about eth1 i try to use 2 eth cards but it is not supported Avmar virtual support 1 , 4 , 8 cards ( 2 eth cards are not supported )
about thick and thin disk yes you are right it is not supported I know that but I am trying to use it as a workaround because 750 G.B free is not available
root@localhost:~/#: more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.116.100 avamar.localdom avamar
root@localhost:~/#: more /etc/HOSTNAME
avamar.localdom
what should i edit in /etc/resolv.conf ?
root@localhost:~/#: more /etc/resolv.conf
### /etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig!
#
# Before you change this file manually, consider to define the
# static DNS configuration using the following variables in the
# /etc/sysconfig/network/config file:
# NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST
# NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS
# NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER
# or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting:
# NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=''
#
# See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation.
#
# Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but
# may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines
# only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this
# file and in case of a "netconfig update -f" call.
#
### Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file!
Thanks
