9.4 Installing RHEL on managed systems
This section describes the two methods for installing RHEL to one or more managed systems:
•
“Installing RHEL using an unattended method” (page 93)
•
“Installing RHEL interactively” (page 93)
9.4.1 Installing RHEL using an unattended method
An unattended RHEL installation uses an ASCII format configuration file called the Kickstart
installation configuration file. This file provides responses to the installation process and eliminates
the need for you to manually enter your responses. For more information about installation
configuration files, see
Section 9.2 (page 86) .
Follow the generic Linux OS installation procedure in Section 9.8 (page 100) to launch an unattended
RHEL Kickstart installation.
9.4.2 Installing RHEL interactively
An interactive installation method requires interaction with the RHEL installation user interface.
Other than PXE booting from the selected OS release, update, and architecture, Insight Control
for Linux provides no other automated configuration service with this interactive method. You must
interact with the OS installer through the selected console type.
An interactive installation also affords the most opportunity for you to customize and select specific
packages and groups of packages during installation and provides even greater control over the
default configuration of the managed system.
