Nutanix: fatal mounting installer media

Last week , we were doing the foundation on NX-1365-G6 block. The foundation process hangs at 26% with error fatal mounting installer media. When this happens, the Nutanix nodes are being powered off. I have attached 2 screenshots below that depicts the problem we faced.

You could see it in the images , that the IPMITool is trying to restart the server and failing to do so.

Therefore , to overcome this situation , we logged in to IPMI on each node and did a Uni Reset & Factory Default via the Maintenance Menu. Thereafter we restarted the foundation from scratch and it got completed successfully.
