Use a USB flash drive to install rhel5.8 on the HP 380 P/5.10 P gen8 server with a pre-kickstart File)

Preparations:

1. rhel-server-5.8-x86_64.iso image file (also useful for the latest rhel5.10 as needed)

2. Old Mao Tao U disk tool v2014 super installed version

3. kickstart file ks. cfg (based on the Kickstart file you need)

4. A 16 gb usb flash drive

Steps:

1. Insert a USB flash drive

2. Open the old peach, as shown below:

3. Select the disk drive as a USB flash drive, format it, and write

4. After the USB flash drive is created, copy the KS. cfg file to the USB flash drive.

5. Create an ISO folder in the USB flash drive and copy the rhel-server-5.8-x86_64.iso to the ISO folder.

6. Remember to modify the KS. cfg file and the installation media is the ISO image file in the USB flash drive.

The following yellow color part is the modified part: (the original ks. cfg file may be CDRom and changed to harddrive -- partition =/dev/sda4 -- dir =/ISO /)

7. Insert a USB flash disk on the HP gen8 Server

After self-check, press F8 for raid1 + 0 (based on your needs, raid1, raid1 + 0, RAID5)

After the raid exits, press F11, press 3, and choose to start from the USB flash disk.

8. On the installation page, enter Linux Ks = HD: sda4:/KS. cfg and press enter, as shown in figure

(If some machines do not have raid and there is only one hard disk, then the hard disk of the machine is SDA, then the U disk is SDB, usually sdb4)

Then, wait for the installation.

Technical expansion:

In Linux, how does one use the DD command to create a rhel u disk installation disk.

Built-in notebook: the hard disk is SDA, and the first inserted U disk is SDB, which is generally sdb4 and the second SDC... And so on

(Xxx/XXX/path of the ISO image)

dd if=xxx/xxx/rhel-server-5.8—x86_64.iso  of=/dev/sdb

It takes a while to write data. After writing;

Mount/dev/sdb4/mnt # Mount U disk to/mnt mkdir/mnt/ISO # create ISO directory CP xxx/XXX/rhel-server-5.8-x86_64.iso/mnt/ISO # copy ISO image under U Disk cp yyy/KS under the ISO directory of the USB flash disk. CFG/mnt # copy the Kickstart file to the USB flash drive.

OK. Then you can use a USB flash drive to install the system.
