4.6. Copying the Kickstart FileΒΆ
To install Acronis Storage using a kickstart file, you first need to make the kickstart file accessible over the network. To do this:
Copy the kickstart file to the same directory on the HTTP server where the Acronis Storage installation files are stored (e.g., to
/var/www/html/astor
).Add the following string to the
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
file on the PXE server:ks=<HTTP_server_address>/<path_to_kickstart_file>
Note
For EFI-based systems, the file you need to edit has the name of
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/efidefault
or/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<PXE_server_IP_address>
.
Assuming that the HTTP server has the IP address of 198.123.123.198, the DocumentRoot
directory is set to /var/www/html
and the full path to your kickstart file on this server is /var/www/html/astor/ks.cfg
, your default
file may look like the following:
default menu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 100
ontimeout ASTOR
menu title Boot Menu
label ASTOR
menu label Install
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ks=http://198.123.123.198/astor/ks.cfg \
ip=dhcp inst.repo=http://198.123.123.198/astor
