Description

This install verifies that installing using an NFS installation source that contains the iso images works. 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 by using any method below:
    1. Specify on the boot commandline:
      repo=nfsiso[:options]:<server>:/<path>
    2. Add the boot command: askmethod
      • Choose NFS directory as Installation method when prompted.
      • Provide a nfs server and path to where your CDROM or DVD iso images are stored
  3. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda uses NFS server and path as directed
  2. Install completes successfully
  3. Package errors (install.log) should not occur
  4. System boots successfully
