13.2. Starting a Kickstart installation automatically by using a local volume
You can configure automated Kickstart installations using a local storage volume with a properly labeled and named Kickstart file. It enables unattended installations without network dependencies, making it suitable for isolated environments or systems without network access.
Prerequisites
-
You have a volume prepared with label
OEMDRVand the Kickstart file present in its root asks.cfg. - A drive containing this volume is available on the system as the installation program boots.
Procedure
- Boot the system by using a local media (a CD, DVD, or a USB flash drive).
At the boot prompt, specify the required boot options.
-
If a required repository is in a network location, you may need to configure the network by using the
ip=option. The installer tries to configure all network devices by using the DHCP protocol by default without this option. In order to access a software source from which necessary packages will be installed, you may need to add the
inst.repo=option. If you do not specify this option, you must specify the installation source in the Kickstart file.For more information about installation sources, see Kickstart commands for installation program configuration and flow control.
-
If a required repository is in a network location, you may need to configure the network by using the
Start the installation by confirming your added boot options.
The installation begins now, and the Kickstart file is automatically detected and used to start an automated Kickstart installation.
