Re: RHEL 5 Virtualization

You can do the following things.

1. mkdir /var/ftp/pub/el5
2. insert your first cd and assuming it is mounted on disk1
3. cp -a /media/disk1 /var/ftp/pub/el5
4. repeat the above procedure for all for cds.
5. Your source three is ready now give the path when virt-manager ask for
it.


I assume you have loaded the vsftpd package so /var/ftp/pub directory exist.

You can start the vsftpd service and can use path
ftp://localhost/pub/el5 also with virt-manager.

Thanx

Is anyone using RHEL 5 Virtualization?

We have a quad core 64-bit machine that has RHEL 5 Server installed.
I've enabled virtualization support in the BIOS and am running the xen
kernel. I'm creating my first virtual machine using the virtual
machine manager to install a RHEL 5 server (one of several). After
the virtual system reads the first ISO CD, how do I change the ISO
CD? I don't see a way to do this.

One way is to use cobbler to install your vm for you using its
kickstart. Redhat magazine has a good article on using it. I personally
install my vm's using ftp no cd changing. By the way if you haven't
checked lately red hat is now allowing dvd downloads starting with rhel
5.1
