[PATCH 3/3] KVM test: Add implementation of network based unattended installation
This patch could let the unattended installation to be done through
the following method:
- unattended.cdrom: the original method which does the installation
from cdrom
- unattended.url: installing the linux guest from http or ftp, tree
url was specified through url
- unattended.nfs: installing the linux guest from nfs. the server
address was specified through nfs_server, and the director was
specified through nfs_dir
- unattended.remote_ks: installing the linux guest through a remote
kickstart file
For url and nfs installation, the extra_params need to be configurated
to specify the location of unattended files:
- If the unattended file in the tree is used, extra_parmas= append
ks=floppy and unattended_file params need to be specified in the
configuration file.
- If the unattended file located at remote server is used,
unattended_file option must be none and extram_params= append
ks=http://xxx; need to be speficied in the configuration file and
don't forget the add the finish nofitication part.
The --kernel and --initrd were used directly for the network
installation instead of the tftp/bootp param because user mode network
is too slow to do this.
Only the unattended files for RHEL and Fedora gues ts are modified,
others are kept unmodified and could do the installation from cdrom.

Hi Jason, I had reviewed your patchset, implemented the suggestions I pointed out, and I have one more thing we need to work out before we commit this - We absolutely need to provide examples on the config file, decently commented. So, could you please provide examples: * HTTP install using remote kickstart * NFS install using local kickstart And re-send the patchset? I will send the patchset with my modifications directly to you and will wait on your follow up. Thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe kvm in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
[PATCH 3/3] KVM test: Add implementation of network based unattended installation
This patch could let the unattended installation to be done through
the following method:
- cdrom: the original method which does the installation from cdrom
- url: installing the linux guest from http or ftp, tree url was specified
through url
- nfs: installing the linux guest from nfs. the server address was
specified through nfs_server, and the director was specified through
nfs_dir
For url and nfs installation, the extra_params need to be configurated
to specify the location of unattended files:
- If the unattended file in the tree is used, extra_parmas= append
ks=floppy and unattended_file params need to be specified in the
configuration file.
- If the unattended file located at remote server is used,
unattended_file option must be none and extram_params= append
ks=http://xxx; need to be speficied in the configuration file and
don't forget the add the finish nofitication part.
The --kernel and --initrd were used directly for the network
installation instead of the tftp/bootp param because the user mode
network is too slow to do this.
Only the unattended files for RHEL and Fedora gues ts are modified,
others are kept unmodified and could do the installation from cdrom.
