The steps in this workflow are condensed and simplified. Details about each step are included in the appropriate documentation.
After you initiate the installation, all the prechecks are performed and if the minimum requirements are not met appropriate error or warning messages are displayed.
You can ignore the warning messages and proceed with installation. However, errors should be fixed.
