Installation (Alpha)
Network Installation
(note the screenshots still show v8.5, but v8.6 was just released so we proceed with it)
The machine you want to install needs to be registered in sysdb, so far it works best in the rhel8_preprod Puppet environment:
FQDN=...
bob node set-attr $FQDN puppet_env=rhel8_preprod
Optional you can set netboot and RHEL 8.6 installer but that can also be selected manually in be boot menu:
bob node netboot $FQDN
bob node set-attr $FQDN ipxe_installer=rhel86install
Installation with UEFI
Start the machine and select network boot (if not already the default), then you get following menu:
There select "Windows and Tools Menus" (do not get irritated by the name) to get into the iPXE menu, where you can do also a lot of other stuff.
(I plan to get rid of above menu as it also breaks automatic installation by sysdb configuration).
The iPXE menu is then generated according to sysdb and its default depends on the configuration, there, but you may override it manualy:
Installation with Legacy BIOS
Start the machine and select network boot (if not already the default), then you get following menu:
There select "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Network Install Menu" to get into the iPXE menu, where you can do also a lot of other stuff.
