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):

2014/05/01-21:30:44--------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------

WARNING: tools.rb:4050:get_config_parameter Warning! get_config_parameter file /etc/resolv.conf variable "nameserver" with seq_no 1 not found

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
