I am waiting on the forums, I need to correct one thing, I am on<br>
Citrix Xen 6.0, under the doc 5.4, I am selecting the right template<br>
with the Wizard, CentOS not RHEL and I am selecting the CentOS<br>
template.<br>
<br>
To install RHEL Using a Kickstart File:<br>
<br>
Note<br>
<br>
A Red Hat Kickstart file is an automated installation method, similar<br>
to an answer file, you can use to provide responses to the RHEL<br>
installation prompts. To create this file, install RHEL manually. The<br>
kickstart file is located in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg.<br>
<br>
In XenCenter, choose the appropriate RHEL template<br>
<br>
Specify the kickstart file to use as a kernel command-line argument in<br>
the XenCenter New VM Wizard, exactly as it would be specified in the<br>
PXE config file, for example:<br>
<br>
ks=<a href="http://server/file" target="_blank">http://server/file</a> ksdevice=eth0 <-- That is what I am using.<br>
<br>
On the command line, use vm-param-set to set the PV-args parameter to<br>
make use of a Kickstart file<br>
<br>
xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm_uuid> PV-args="ks=<a href="http://server/path" target="_blank">http://server/path</a> ksdevice=eth0"<br>
<br>
Set the repository location so XenServer knows where to get the kernel<br>
and initrd from for the installer boot:<br>
<br>
xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm_uuid><br>
other-config:install-repository=<<a href="http://server/path" target="_blank">http://server/path</a>><br>
<br>
Note<br>
<br>
To install using a kickstart file without the New VM wizard, you can<br>
add the appropriate command to the Advanced OS boot parameters text<br>
box. For example, for RHEL 5.4, this command would be<br>
ks=nfs:telos:/linux/distros/auto-install/rhel54.cfg.<br>
