{{QA/Test_Case
|description=This is to verify that Anaconda's inst.repo
boot option works together with a DVD.iso
mounted over an NFS protocol. This is called "NFSISO repository", because it uses the DVD-mounted-over-NFS as a repository.
|setup=
- You need to have a
DVD.iso
accessible over an NFS protocol. If you do have it, no further setup is needed. If you don't, set up a NFS share this way:- Install
nfs-utils
. - Create a directory that will be shared:
# mkdir /share
- Let's say your (virtual) test machine is in the
192.168.1.0/24
subnet. Put the following line into/etc/exports
:/share 192.168.1.0/24(ro)
- Restart the NFS service:
# systemctl restart nfs-server.service
- Copy the
DVD.iso
into/share
directory. Make sure the file has world-readable file permissions. - The directory is now accessible over NFS via
<your_IP>:/share
- Install
- Prepare any non-live media for booting the installer (anything except
Live.iso
).
|actions=
- Before booting the installer, specify a target NFSISO repository by adding a following boot option:
inst.repo=nfs[:options]:<server>:/<path>
where<path>
can refer to a directory containing a single.iso
file or multiple.iso} files, or to the
.iso
file directly.
Example:inst.repo=nfs:your_IP:/share/DVD.iso
Make sure the.iso
file architecture matches the architecture of your installer media. - Proceed with installation
