3.2. Preparing for Installation¶
Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure can be installed from
- IPMI virtual drives,
- PXE servers (in this case, time synchronization via NTP is enabled by default),
- USB drives.
3.2.1. Preparing for Installation from USB Storage Drives¶
To install Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure from a USB storage drive, you will need a 4 GB or higher-capacity USB drive and the Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure distribution ISO image.
Make a bootable USB drive by transferring the distribution image to it with dd.
Important
Be careful to specify the correct drive to transfer the image to.
For example, on Linux:
# dd if=storage-image.iso of=/dev/sdb
And on Windows (with dd for Windows):
C:\>dd if=storage-image.iso of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0
