XCAT offline installation on CentOS 6.x

XCAT offline installation on CentOS 6.x

Here I use CentOS 6.6 and xCAT the latest 2.8. In addition, the root user is used to facilitate installation.

First download the xCAT offline package

Wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat/2.8.x_Linux/xcat-core-2.8.5.tar.bz2/download
Wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat-dep/2.x_Linux/xcat-dep-201502061114.tar.bz2/download

Decompress the installation package

Tar jxvf xcat-core-2.8.5.tar.bz2
Tar jxvf xcat-dep-201502061114.tar.bz2

Create an xCAT local yum Repository

Cd/root/xcat-dep/rh6/x86_64;./mklocalrepo. sh
Cd/root/xcat-core;./mklocalrepo. sh

Two yum repository file xCAT-core.repo and xCAT-dep.repo are generated under the/etc/yum. repos. d directory after creation

Install xCAT

Yum clean metadata
Yum install-y xCAT

Check whether xCAT is correctly installed

Source/etc/profile. d/xcat. sh
Tabdump site

Install xCAT UI

Yum install-y php
Yum install-y xCAT-UI-deps
Yum install-y xCAT-UI

Then access http: // <xcat_host>/xcat and log on to the system as the root user of linux.
