→Part 3: Installing from a Network using a Kickstart File
# During the install, copy the network URL, then click the '''URL options''' to expand the '''kernel options''' input textbox. Type the following in the kernel options textbox: <ul><li><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">ks=</span>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OPS245/labs/main/rhel9-kickstart.cfg</li></ul>
# Then click the '''forward''' button to proceed. Make certain to select the correct Memory Size and Disk Space size shown in the VM Details above
# Make certain to enter the name: '''centos3rhel3''', <u>AND</u> then select the option: '''Customize configuration before install''', and select '''Copy Host CPU Configuration''', click '''Apply''', and then click '''Begin Installation'''.
# Observe the installation. How is it different from booting from a downloaded image?
# Record the time taken to install, and compare this to the time taken by the previous installations.<br><br>If during the installation, you see the message at the bottom '''Pane is Dead''', click the '''Virtual Machine''' menu at the top, select '''Shut Down''' -> '''Force Off''', '''right-click''' on '''rhel3''' in the ''virtual manager'' window and select '''Delete'''. Redo the VM setup for a new instance of the ''rhel3'' VM.<br><br>
# Boot the virtual machine and log in (use the user ID and password information from the previous step to gain access to this VM).
# Compare the experience to the first time you booted the other virtual machines.
# <span style="background-color:yellow;">Repeat the steps as you did in the previous investigation ([https://wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca/wiki/OPS245_Lab_2#Part_1:_Install_KVM_Virtualization_Application Investigation1 Part 1]) to '''stop and disable firewalld, install iptables-services, start and enable iptablesnftables''' for this newly-created VM.</span># <span style="background-color:yellow;">Repeat the steps as you did with c7host r9host post-install to '''turn off SELinux''' and perform a '''yum dnf update'''.</span><br />:::You'll notice something when you go to set '''SElinux''' to '''permissive'''. The kickstart file already did that for you. It could even have performed the switch from firewalld to iptables nftables for you (but it didn't). # Issue the following command to obtain and record your centos2 rhel3 IPADDR in your lab2 logbook: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">ip address</span></code></b># Remember that centos3 rhel3 is text-based interface only (no graphics). To recover from a blank screen, press a key (like the SPACE key) to return to the screen display.
# Record the time taken to install, and compare this to the time taken by the previous installations in your lab2 logbook.
