Ubuntu was reinstalled on a different disk.  Currently it seems to be
working however I have no experience with Ubuntu so confirmation would
be much appreciated.

  I tried to install in /dev/sda (which had RHEL installed before). I went to rescue mode and deleted all the VGs and tried and still failed. 
  I am able to install in other disks. 
  Quick observation- it is not installing in 4K disk

  From the installation logs, we see that there has been installation failure due to the 4K sector size.
