RHEL6.6 PXE installation-based on VMware WorkStation

Part I: Installing the installation Server

1. Install a RHEL6.6 Server A (address 192.168.139.132) as the installation server. So that the machine behind it can point to this server for automatic installation

2. Install the HTTP server on a

3. Copy the OS files to the/var/www/html/rhel6.6

4. Install the Createrepo tool on a/rhel6.6

5. Establish the repo on a. Point to http://192.168.139.132

6. Prepare the Kickstart file

Modify configuration: Because the installation server is CDROM installed, but the subsequent server needs to be installed from the HTTP service, so you need to modify

#cdrom
URL--url http://192.168.139.132/rhel6.6/
Comment out cdrom, add a URL directive

Of course, you can turn fireware and selinux off.

Part II: Installation of the necessary tools/////////////

1. Installing Syslinux

Yum Install Syslinux

2. Install DHCP

Yum Install DHCP

Need to be configured

Vi/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

The contents are as follows:

Service DHCPD Start

Chkconfig DHCPD on

3. Installing Tftp-server

Yum Install Tftp-server

Modify configuration file Vi/etc/xinetd.d/tftp change disable from Yes to No

Disable = no

Copy boot boot file

Start the service

Service xinetd Start

Chkconfig xinetd on

Part III: Batch installation of additional servers

1. Create a blank server in VMware.

2. Start the blank server, and the blank server will automatically find the installation server. No manual intervention is required for the entire process

Problem solving:

1. The warning of the storage may contain data requires manual intervention. Want to go to this warning, carry out the automatic installation.

Join in the Ks.cfg

# Clear the Master Boot Record
Zerombr

2. Problems that Ks.cfg cannot access

Make sure that the KS.CFG access rights are no problem
