I don't know about any "enterprise storage option" so I'm not sure what
to say.
"Scalable Filesystem" is really just XFS support

I suggest that you try to find some option to change the video
resolution. You really don't want to try text install.
Text install instructions are here
http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/installing/install-guide-text-full.html
NOTES about text install
* You are unable to do customized partitions in text mode.
* You are unable to review and edit partitions in text mode.
* You are unable to put your boot loader anyplace special in text mode.
* You are unable to select packages and/or groups in text mode.
You only get a minimal install.
This is the way the installer comes from The Upstream Vendor.
