"Error checking storage configuration" while using Kickstart

Posted on

I am trying to use Kickstart for the first time in order to install RHEL 7.2 on 30 Dell PowerEdge R730xd servers. I'm using a USB key created with the Fedora Live USB Creator and a Kickstart configuration file provided by the customer. After some tweaking the ks.cfg file to boot from the USB instead of the CD-ROM, the installation started and an error immediately appeared on the storage option indicating an "Error checking storage configuration". I am attaching the modified ks.cfg file that I used to perform the install along with a screen shot of the RAID configuration for the server. Any help will be appreciated.

Here is part of the error message that I am receiving:
