Description

This test case verifies that installing using an NFS installation source works. It requires you to have an installable tree on an available NFS share. See Anaconda/Options for information on supported boot options.


How to test

  1. Boot the installer using any available means
  2. Direct anaconda to use NFS as the installation type. This can be done in two ways:
    1. Specify on the boot commandline:
      repo=nfs:host.domain.tld:/path/to/tree
    2. Add the boot command: askmethod
      • Choose NFS directory as Installation method when prompted.
      • Provide the hostname and path to the installation tree
  3. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda uses the package repository from the NFS server provided.
  2. Install completes successfully
  3. Package errors (install.log) should not occur
  4. System boots successfully
