Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP2 Installation Manual page 40

Both servers need to be connected to the network and able to communicate with each other.
If you have DHCP on your network, using DHCP works well to begin the initial network
installation. During the installation, you are prompted to configure your OES server with a static IP
address. The static IP address is required for the configuring OES network services on your server.
If you don't have DHCP on your network, you need to do a manual installation and configure your
OES server with a static IP address, subnet mask, a default gateway, and a name server. You do not
need to redo this network configuration later in the installation because it is already set up. The
instructions for this come later in the installation procedure. (See

and the following instructions.
1 Download or copy the ISO image files to a directory of your choice. See
Preparing OES 2
2 Configure your Linux server to be a YaST installation server and select the location for the root
of the network installation.
The three protocol options to choose from for configuring the YaST installation server are
NFS, FTP, and HTTP. For the protocol configuration procedures, see the following:
"NFS Protocol Configuration" on page 40
"FTP Protocol Configuration" on page 41
"HTTP Protocol Configuration" on page 41
FTP and HTTP do not allow you to serve the files without possible modifications to
files. NFS is the simplest protocol to configure and is recommended.
3 Create a boot CD using the
label it with that name.
For information on creating this CD, see
Installation or an Upgrade" on page
This CD will be the network installation boot CD.
With these steps completed, you are ready to perform a new installation or upgrade using a network
installation source. See
OES 2 SP2" on page
NFS Protocol Configuration
An NFS share can be shared easily from almost any location on your file system. Use the following
procedure if you choose to use this protocol:
