# Installation (Alpha)
|
|
|
|
## Network Installation
|
|
|
|
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 8.5 installer but that can also be selected manually in be boot menu:
|
|
```
|
|
bob node netboot $FQDN
|
|
bob node set-attr $FQDN ipxe_installer=rhel85install
|
|
```
|
|
### 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

|

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.
