Re: creating a floppy image from a linux file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



My chicken and egg.

I was hoping to
1. create a baseline image that I can clone
2. get a centos image on a VM guest, have my own management servers (including pxe boot) that I own and control.


Once I have one or two, I can expand my private cloud as large as I want...and building new guest servers will take minutes.

I am still trying to get kick-start centos in my vmware5 because pxe cannot find the pxe server. I do not control the dhcp or pxe server.

this is on ESXI? you /could/ create a virtual network thats not routed or bridged to your actual networks, then create your own PXE/DHCP server on this virtual network, and then connect your new VM to that private virtual net for installation, switching it over to the regular networks when its done installing.... I've done crazier things on ESXI :)
