Bootstrap files, configuration files, and Linux kernels are placed under the root directory of the TFTP server on the Linux server. The Linux root file system resides in the shared Directory of NFS server.While the PXE client is working, it requires thre

Previous work done once unattended automatic batch installation CentOS, no resistance at that time too busy, forget to take notes. Now just the company new into a batch of servers to shelves, to do the system, just use this opportunity to do the following notes:What is PXE? What is Kickstart? This is not described here in one by one, because there are so many interpretations of these concepts on the web, and I'll elaborate on the installation conditio

The PXE client requires three binary files: bootstrap, Linux kernel, and Linux root file system. The Bootstrap file is an executable program that provides you with a simple control interface and downloads the appropriate Linux kernel and Linux root file system based on your selections.
1.2. What is KickStart?
KickStart is an unattended installation method.

Because both work and study require this purpose, after the experiment is successful, I will write out the unattended installation process of kickstart for sharing. At the same time, I hope that the majority of users can make good suggestions, make progress together! Reprinted please indicate me and the source! If there are bugs in the experiment steps, we should not modify them or improve them. Thank you for your comments (fuqin liquor cooking). prin
This document describes how to use Kickstart for unattended installation and how to set up a RHCE lab environment. The environment used in this article is RHEL 5, which is also applicable to CentOS. Andrew Yu, author of the article, is an experienced Linux/Unix system engineer who once worked as a RHCE lecturer for a while.

1, Kickstart and PXE introduction:Kickstart is an unattended installation mode introduced by Red Hat, which enables the automatic installation of large batches of clients. In general, when we install the Linux operating system, we use an interactive response interface mode to determine how our system should be installed, such as the language that the installation process displays, the type of keyboard used, the time zone information, the package to be

Introduction:
Kickstart and RedHat, the tool for installing Operating Systems in batches, were launched earlier (not to mention, now Cobbler ).

Ii. Configure DHCP

Using Kickstart automation to deploy a variety of systems, I think of two scenarios, a suitable for daily operations, when the computer room on the shelves of individual new servers, according to different purposes, through a multi-system boot menu, enter the appropriate operating system name, you can automatically deploy the corresponding operating system. For example, I see a scenario like this on the Internet:650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://s1.5
