Subject: Re: [Users] kickstarting a vm via http


FWIW and in case someone is interested, you can use the following
kernel parameters to kickstart from network (without pxe - i'd
prefer that, but it's not always an option) :

ks= http://X.X.X.X/ks/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=X.X.X.X
netmask=255.255.255.0

This, afaik, will not work for the VMs, since the params are passed to libvirt, 
that can't take files from http/s. Have you actually tried this and it worked?

I'm not sure this is blocked for fedora.
also, iirc, you can place them on the iso domain, and use an iso:// notation



it'll require you however to have the kernel & initrd.img files - you
can get those from the distro cd / iso (even jus the network
install) and put them somewhere, doesnt matter - just reference
those files in the "kernel path" and "initrd path" and it'll work ..
e.g.

kernel path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ]
initrd path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/initrd.img ]

ok, local path seems to do the trick :)

hi,

i'm trying to kickstart a new VM using the kernel parameters field,
however, when I enter any text in there, it requires me to give a
path for the kernel ?? is that deliberate ? if so, should that be
the path to the kernel via http:// or on the local filesystem of the
node ??

Thanks
Alex
