Hello List
I have a Bootable USB stick that we use to Boot our servers and then
install CentOS,
PostgreSQL and our SW thru a Kickstart script.
It works like a charm but now we are thinking of going Virtual and
prepping Virtual CentOS servers under VMware ESXi.
However, to have the same "Boot and Install" functionality I see no other
solution than Booting a VMware machine from an ISO.
So, what I would like to do is to take the Bootable USB and make it into
an ISO.
Any ideas?
Hi,
Not sure whether the following will work, but just a thought.
Create an .img file from the usb by doing a 'dd' from usb to .img file.
Then attach the .img file to the vm as a disk and then boot the vm from the
disk image to start regular kickstart installation.
Thanks & Regards,
Aravind
