HP Insight Control for Linux 6.0 User Guide

TIP: Consider matching the machine name to the host name in the virtual machine map
you established earlier. See Section 21.10 (page 210).
• Select the Paravirtualized option for the virtualization method.
• The installation media URL (also called the Network URL) for the operating system must
link to the Insight Control for Linux Repository:
http://CMS:port/instconfig/os/os_specifier
Where:
CMS Is the fully-qualified IP address of the CMS
port Is the port used
os_specifier Specifies the operating system to be installed on the virtual guest, for
example, RHEL5U2-i386 or SLES10SP2-i386/DVD1.
Some releases of SLES may specify CD1 instead of DVD1.
For example, http://mercury.example.com:60000/os/RHEL5U2-i386
• For a RHEL Kickstart file, specify a URL that links to its location in the Insight Control for
Linux Repository:
http://CMS:port/instconfig/os/osver-virt-guest/osver-virt-guest.cfg
Where:
osver Specifies the operating system version, for example rh052.
• For a SLES AutoYaST file, place a copy of the AutoYaST file from the Insight Control for
Linux Repository in the /tmp directory, use the text editor of your choice to modify this file
to edit the root password if needed, and specify the path to the file in /tmp:
# cd /tmp
# wget http://CMS:port/instconfig/os/osver-virt-guest/osver-virt-guest.cfg
# chmod 0600 osver-virt-guest.cfg
# vi osver-virt-guest.cfg
Where:
osver Specifies the operating system version, for example sl102.
The SLES AutoYaST file is located in /tmp/osver-virt-guest.cfg.
• Specify the Simple file option for the storage space assignment.
• Select an available physical device for the connection to the Host Network, for example,
peth0.
• To monitor a virtual guest, it must be assigned a well-known IP address. This can be either
the static IP address that you entered when you installed the virtual guest or, if you used
DHCP, the fixed IP address that maps to the MAC address you establish. For more
information, see Section 21.10 (page 210).
• The time to complete the installation depends on the operating system and network
performance. Monitor the progress of the installation in the xterm window or in the remote
console window.
