Installation¶
System Requirements¶
Cloudboot requires RHEL/Centos 6.0 or higher.
While the system can operate with lower specs, these are the recommendations for the best experience while testing or deploying Cloudboot:
| Testing | Production |
|---|---|
|
|
Note
the storage requirement includes disk space needed for OS media (OS distribution). In real world deploayment, OS media is normally mounted from external/network locations.
System Configuration¶
Turn off OS firewall:
service iptables stop chkconfig iptables off
Turn off selinux (requires OS reboot):
sed -i.bak '/^SELINUX=/cSELINUX=disabled' /etc/sysconfig/selinux
Install Cloudboot via RPM Package¶
Download Cloudboot RPM from http://www.idcos.com/store/x86
Install RPM Package:
rpm -ivh cloudboot-$version.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:cloudboot ########################################### [100%]
Setup Cloudboot¶
Add DCHP subnet¶
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | # cat /opt/cloudboot/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
allow booting;
allow bootp;
ddns-update-style none;
ping-check true;
ping-timeout 3;
default-lease-time 120;
max-lease-time 600;
authoritative;
next-server osinstall.idcos.com;
filename "undionly.kkpxe";
option domain-name "idcos.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option root-path "osinstall.idcos.com:/";
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.101 192.168.0.200;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}
|
Note
Please adjust DHCP subnet setting according to target environment.
Import OS Media¶
Take Centos 6.7 for example:
mount -o loop CentOS-6.7-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso /media
rsync -az /media/ /opt/cloudboot/home/www/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
umount /media
