I am trying to install CentOS Linux operating system in a virtualization setup. I have already built four host machines with CentOS 5.5 and KVM virtualization. I can install fine if I do a manual installation. I am now trying to automate the process. To this goal, I have create multiple LVMs inside my new volume group. The name of the volume group is vmstorage_vg. The problem occurs when I try to run the installation.
I found a script via google:
#!/bin/sh
virt-install \
-n calcnode01 \
-r 1024 \
-f /dev/vmstorage_vg/calcnode01 \
--cdrom=/software/iso/CentOS-5.5_x86_64-boot.iso \
--accelerate \
--vnc \
-x "ks=ftp://192.168.0.101/pub/ks/calcnode01.ks ip=192.168.0.101 netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=192.168.0.20 gateway=192.168.0.1 text console=ttyS0"
When I start this script from the SSH terminal it starts but I cannot see anything being installed. I entered the virsh console and see the calcnode01 entry if I do a list. If I try to connect using virsh I do not see anything. The kickstart was created from the anaconda file created from the manual installation. I enabled the options to create the filesystems.
I think the installation is waiting on some input but I cannot see any console. I have tried with and without the "console=ttyS0" option.
Thank you everyone for your time.
