6.3. Deploying an ISO bootc image over PXE boot

You can use a network installation to deploy a RHEL ISO image over an existing Anaconda PXE boot environment to run your ISO bootc image.

Prerequisites

You have downloaded a RHEL 10 Boot ISO for your architecture from Red Hat. See Downloading RHEL boot images.
You have configured the server for the PXE boot. Choose one of the following options:
- For HTTP clients, see Configuring the DHCPv4 server for HTTP and PXE boot.
- For UEFI-based clients, see Configuring a TFTP server for UEFI-based clients.
- For BIOS-based clients, see Configuring a TFTP server for BIOS-based clients.
You have a client, also known as the system to which you are installing your ISO image.

Procedure

Export the RHEL installation ISO image to the HTTP server. The PXE boot server is now ready to serve PXE clients.
Boot the client and start the installation.
Select PXE Boot when prompted to specify a boot source. If the boot options are not displayed, press the Enter key on your keyboard or wait until the boot window opens.
From the Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot window, select the boot option that you want, and press Enter.
Start the network installation.

Next steps

You can push an updated version of this container image to the registry to deliver operating system updates to your running systems. See Managing RHEL bootc images.
