Including Add-On Products In The Installation - Novell XEN - ADMINISTRATION Manual

WARNING: Changing CD-Roms
On paravirtual guests, it is currently not possible to go on with the instal-
lation of a system after changing the CD-Rom. Instead, you should use a
DVD or a network based installation. For a workaround to this problem,
see Section 5.1.1, "Virtual CD Readers on Paravirtual Machines"
If the installation program is capable of recognizing an installation profile, re-
sponse file, or script, you can automate the installation settings by specifying the
location of the profile, response file, or script you want to use. For example,
SUSE Linux uses an AutoYaST profile, NetWare uses a NetWare Response File,
and Red Hat uses a Kickstart file to move through the installation screens with
no interaction.
You can also pass instructions to the kernel at install time by entering parameters
for the Additional Arguments field. These arguments may either be kernel options,
or options for linuxrc. More information about linuxrc can be found at
http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles10/sles_admin/
data/sec_deployment_remoteinst_bootinst.html
If all the information on the Summary screen is correct, click OK to create the virtual
machine. A TightVNC screen appears and at this point you begin the installation of
your OS. From this point on, follow the regular installation instructions for installing
your OS. More information for any instructions that might be different for installing
your OS in a virtualized environment may be found in
(page 61).
3.3 Including Add-On Products in the
Installation
In order to include an Add-On product in the installation process of a VM Guest, it is
necessary to provide the installation system with both, the standard installation images
and the image for the Add-On product.
First, add the system disk, the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 installation image
and the physical CD-Rom or Add-On image as disks to the VM Guest. For example,
you may have:
