Table 11 OS registration information (continued)
Supply for
supported
OS, custom
OS, or both
Description
Registration information
Enter the full web address (using the IP address) to the OS installation
media, such as http://192.0.2.1/redhat/some_version/.
For repository entries for SLES 10 and SLES 10 SP1, you must verify if
the remote installation media use CD1,CD2,… directories; otherwise use
a directory named DVD1. If the SLES OS uses the media subdirectories,
the value you enter for the Path via HTTP must include the first directory
name, such as http://192.0.2.1/sles10/CD1/ or
http://192.0.2.1/sles11sp1/DVD1/
. If you do not include the
media subdirectory, the installation fails.
NOTE:
This item does not apply to VMware ESXi. Data for VMware
ESXi is not transferred through HTTP; instead, it is loaded from the /opt/
repository/boot
directory using
or
.
Custom
The OS version.
Version
Custom
The hardware architecture, such as X86_64.
Architecture
Custom
The name of the kernel boot file. If you do not supply a kernel name,
vmlinuz
is the default file name.
Kernel name
In the context of a custom OS, the file name might be different name.
You must examine the installation sources to determine what the OS has
named them.
Custom
The name of the RAM disk boot file. If you do not supply a kernel name,
initrd.img
is the default file name.
RAM disk name
In the context of a custom OS, the file name might be different. You must
examine the installation sources to determine what the OS has named
them.

Select Save.

View the summary information, which provides the paths where you copy the vendor-supplied
OS installation files. For example:
Item Name RHEL6U1-x64 has been updated.
Path on disk: /opt/repository/os/RHEL6U1-x64
Path via HTTP: /os/RHEL6U1-x64
Boot target path on disk: /opt/repository/boot/RHEL6U1-x64Boot
Notice: You may now upload the Operating system, kernel, and RAM disk images
if you have not done so yet.
IMPORTANT:
Write down or cut and paste into a file the directory names provided in the
Path on disk and Boot target path on disk fields.
You must know these paths to copy the related file(s) to the correct location. If you lose this
information, go back and edit the item in the repository. Select Save without changing any
information and the confirmation screen is displayed again.
The summary information provides the directories created in the repository under /opt/
repository
where you copy the vendor-supplied installation files. For a locally hosted
supported OS, an OS version-specific directory is created under /opt/repository/os
and an OS version-specific directory is created under /opt/repository/boot.
For a remotely hosted supported OS, a directory is only created under /opt/repository/
boot
because this is the only location where you copy OS installation files.
