Installation (Alpha)
Network Installation
The machine you want to install needs to be registered in sysdb:
FQDN=...
bob node set-attr $FQDN puppet_env=rhel8_packages
(The rhel8_packages Puppet environment is hopefully soon not required any more and the required changes are in preprod)
Optional you can set netboot and RHEL 8 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:
Grub default menu
There select "Windows and Tools Menus" (do not get irrited by the name) to get into the iPXE menu, where you can do also a lot of other stuff.
Grub menu selection for iPXE
(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:
iPXE menu with local boot default
select Test sub menu in iPXE menu
select RHEL 8 installation
Installation with Legacy BIOS
Start the machine and select network boot (if not already the default), then you get following menu:
PXE default 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.
PXE menu selection for iPXE
(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:
iPXE menu with local boot default
select Test sub menu in iPXE menu
select RHEL 8 installation
