Installing Linux Using Remote KVMS Over IP
With Virtual CD/DVD
This method uses the RKVMS capability of the ILOM or ELOM to install the Linux
OS on your server from a remote networked system. The CD/DVD drive of the
remote system (virtual CD-ROM) is used to access the OS media, and all output of
the server is displayed on the remote system (remote console).
Additional information about the RKVMS can be found in the ELOM or ILOM
documentation.
