Installing Linux Using lininst.sh

  • CAUTION: Do not change the bootmode before executing installation scripts using syscfg. If you do, reboot the system and start executing installation scripts.
  • NOTE: See your operating system documentation for instructions on modifying the options in the ks.cfg/ks-rhel5.cfg/ ks-rhel6.cfg/ ks_rhel6_uefi.cfg file to customize the scripted installation of your operating system.

Perform the following steps to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux using the lininst.sh script:

  1. On the source system, navigate to the location of the required Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system image.
  2. Create a NFS share using the following command: vi /etc/exports.
  3. Share /home/rhelshare.
    • NOTE: If the folder you want to share is /home, then the /etc/exports file must contain the “/home *(rw)” line.
  4. Restart the NFS service.
  5. Copy the operating system image to the NFS share.
  6. Copy initrd.img for Red Hat Enterprise Linux to NFS share.
  7. Copy vmlinuz from Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system image to NFS share.
  8. Boot DTK on the target machine.
  9. Create the virtual disk using the raidcfg command.
  10. Run the partcfg.sh (at /opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts/) script to create the Dell utility partition, OS partition in BIOS mode, and to create OS partition in UEFI mode. Ensure that the correct partition is set to DT_HD.
  11. Create a directory under /tmp. For example, os_src.
  12. Mount the NFS Share to /tmp/os_src.
  13. Copy ks.cfg (in BIOS mode) or ks_uefi.cfg (in UEFI mode) from /opt/dell/toolkit/template/configs to NFS share on the source machine.
  14. Edit ks.cfg (in BIOS mode) or ks_rhel6_uefi.cfg (in UEFI mode) on the source system. Set the NFS IP Address where Red Hat Enterprise Linux images are available and the NFS share path.
  15. Export the environment variables as follows:
    1. Run export DT_OS_DISK=/dev/sda, the disk device on which the Dell utility partition was created.
    2. Run export DT_OS_SRC=/tmp/os_src, where vmlinuz, initrd.img, and kickstart file are available.
    3. Run export DT_HD=/dev/sda.
  16. From /opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts, run /lininst.sh script. The server reboots to the grub prompt. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system unattended installation proceeds.
