第 11 章 Adding the Kickstart file to a UEFI HTTP or PXE installation source

Procedure

1. Install the nfs-utils package by running the following command as root:

   # dnf install nfs-utils

2. Copy the Kickstart file to a directory on the NFS server.

3. Open the /etc/exports file by using a text editor and add a line with the following syntax:

   /exported_directory/ clients

   Replace /exported_directory/ with the full path to the directory holding the Kickstart file. Instead of clients, use the host name or IP address of the computer that is to be installed from this NFS server, the subnetwork from which all computers are to have access the ISO image, or the asterisk sign (*) if you want to allow any computer with network access to the NFS server to use the ISO image. See the exports(5) man page for detailed information about the format of this field. A basic configuration that makes the /nfs/rhel10-kickstart/ directory available as read-only to all clients is:

   /nfs/rhel10-kickstart/ *

4. Enable the NFS service in firewalld.

   # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service nfs
   # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=mountd
   # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=rpc-bind
   # firewall-cmd --reload

5. Save the /etc/exports file and exit the text editor.

6. Start the nfs service:

   # systemctl enable --now nfs-server.service

   If the service was running before you changed the /etc/exports file, enter the following command, in order for the running NFS server to reload its configuration:

   # systemctl reload nfs-server.service

   The Kickstart file is now accessible over NFS and ready to be used for installation.

   注意

   When specifying the Kickstart source, use nfs: as the protocol, the server’s host name or IP address, the colon sign (:), and the path inside the directory holding the file. For example, if the server’s host name is myserver.example.com and you have saved the file in /nfs/rhel10-kickstart/my-ks.cfg, specify inst.ks=nfs:myserver.example.com:/nfs/rhel10-kickstart/my-ks.cfg as the installation source boot option.
