After 3 hours the image has been deployed and booted in version 8 on the 6 nodes.

The script completed successfully.

The only thing I see is the following message in all of them once booted into VMware ESXI 8.0.2 build-23305546

Installation Status: Product Unknown is failed to be installed because of error failed to execute script vx_00_extract_payload.sh

The hosts are not wired, only with the iDRAC.

Is this message normal given that the communications infrastructure is not prepared? Or there's a problem with the operating system.

Thanks
