Installation
Minimal HW/VM Requirements
- 4GB RAM
- 33GB Disk
Network Installation
The machine you want to install needs to be registered in sysdb.
Optional you can set netboot and RHEL 8.7 installer but that can also be selected manually in be boot menu:
bob node netboot $FQDN
bob node set-attr $FQDN ipxe_installer=rhel87install
Installation with UEFI
Start the machine and select network boot (if not already the default), then you get following menu:
There select "Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7"
NOTE: After the installation the boot order will be changed to localboot again! So if you reinstall make sure that you re-set the bootorder via the efi menu or the commandline: https://linux.die.net/man/8/efibootmgr
[root@lx-test-02 ~]# efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0004
BootOrder: 0004,0002,0000,0001,0003
Boot0000* EFI Virtual disk (0.0)
Boot0001* EFI VMware Virtual SATA CDROM Drive (0.0)
Boot0002* EFI Network
Boot0003* EFI Internal Shell (Unsupported option)
Boot0004* Red Hat Enterprise Linux
[root@lx-test-02 ~]# efibootmgr --bootorder 2,4,0,1,3
(there is no need to have the leading 000 )
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.
(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:
