Logical Volume Manager Support; Configuring The Static Ipv6 Address - HP Integrity rx1600 Deployment Manual

1. Boot the system with the RHEL5 or RHEL5UP1 replicated image in single mode by entering
the following at the boot prompt:
linux single
2. From the root directory, recursively restore all SELinux configuration files by entering:
restorecon -r /
The SELinux security policy configuration is closed by default when installing RHEL5U2 using
SSTK so this situation does not exist when replicating this release and the correct SELinux
extended attributes are in place.

Logical Volume Manager Support

SSTK v3.2 introduces a new Logical Volume Manager(LVM) feature that allows you to capture
and deploy Linux residing on a disk with an LVM partition. The standard SSTK installation does
not install Linux in an LVM partition. Before capturing the Linux image containing LVM partitions,
ensure that Linux is installed on a single disk; the volume group cannot span multiple physical
disks.

Configuring the Static IPv6 Address

After SSTK installation for RHEL4U7, RHEL5U3, and SLES10SP2, use the following steps to
configure the static IPv6 address:
1. Restart the network device interface:
# ifdown <network_interface>
# ifup <network_interface>
2. Configure the IPv6 static address:
# ifconfig <network_interface> inet6 add <ipv6_addr> netmask
<netmask_addr> up
For example:
# ifconfig eth3 inet6 3ffe:501:ffff:100:205:5dff:fea1:b73c/64 netmask
255.0.0.0 up
3. Check the network interface status:
# ifconfig
Messages similar to the following should be displayed:
eth3
a
Link encap:Ethernet
inet6 addr: 3ffe:501:ffff:100:205:5dff:fea1:b73c/64 Scope:Global
