You must use this option together with the --encrypted option; by itself it has no effect. Available types of encryption are listed in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Security Guide, but CentOS strongly recommends using either aes-xts-plain64 or aes-cbc-essiv:sha256. See Installation Source on a Network for details. This is the default. Performs an action on Non-Volatile Dual In-line Memory Module (NVDIMM) devices. Instead, use meaningful names such as root or swap. For more information about add-ons, see Kickstart Add-ons. See Creating Btrfs Volumes and Subvolumes for a demonstration. The installation begins now, using the installation options specified in the Kickstart file. During a Kickstart installation, if no completion method is specified, the halt option is used as default. I think you need to change the append syntax in isolinux.cfg to point at ks.cfg. No processing is done on the list of arguments, so they must be supplied in a format that can be passed directly to the mkfs program. For example, to specify a disk with WWID 2416CD96995134CA5D787F00A5AA11017, use: --asprimary - Forces the partition to be allocated as a primary partition. --fsprofile= - Specifies a usage type to be passed to the program that makes a filesystem on this partition. The installation can fail if a repository is modified before the installation concludes. This option does not describe which package groups should be installed; instead, it sets RPM macros controlling which translation files from individual packages should be installed. The --multilib option also must be specified in the Kickstart file; see the available options below. If you do not specify a passphrase, the installation program uses the default, system-wide passphrase set with the autopart --passphrase command, or stops the installation and prompts you to provide a passphrase if no default is set. When creating a Kickstart file, keep in mind the following: Sections must be specified in order. You only need to ensure that the described block device exists on the system. Then, the two drives are partitioned to prepare them for RAID configuration. --bootproto= - One of dhcp, bootp, ibft, or static. --excludepkgs= - A comma-separated list of package names that must not be pulled from this repository. Using the snapshot command, you can create LVM thin volume snapshots during the installation process. Install the TFTP server: # yum install -y tftp-server. This installation method can support the use of a single Kickstart file to install CentOS on multiple machines, making it ideal for network and system administrators. Applicable only to newly created volume groups. --name= - Provides the name of the user. This section is useful for functions such as installing additional software or configuring an additional name server. Procedures in this section assume that you already have a Kickstart file ready in a location accessible from the installation system, as well as boot media or a PXE server which can be used to boot the system and begin the installation. --disable or --disabled - Initial Setup is not started the first time the system boots. Once used, it must be specified in all instances of the iscsi command in the entire Kickstart file. Normally, a Kickstart file is copied to removable media or a hard drive, or made available on the network. If you follow this procedure, you only need to turn on the system; no other interaction will be required from that moment until the installation finishes. --fsoptions - Specifies a free form string of options to be used when mounting the filesystem. In CentOS 7.x, this functionality has been removed. Valid values are xfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, swap, vfat, efi and biosboot. Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service which automatically supplies connected systems with a domain name; to allow DHCP to assign the domain name, only specify a short host name. --iface= - bind the connection to a specific network interface instead of using the default one determined by the network layer. This means that by default, no users except for root are created. title UEFI CentOS 7 Installation root (nd) ... /var/ftp/pub/ks.cfg (add this kickstart file manually) openssl passwd -1 "000000" (run this command to have encryped root password) #platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T #version=DEVEL # Firewall configuration firewall --disabled --reconfig - Enable the Initial Setup to start at boot time in reconfiguration mode. Minimal install provides only the packages which are essential for running CentOS 7.8.2003. This is optional, but recommended. The reboot option is equivalent to the shutdown -r command. --computer-ou=OU= - Provide the distinguished name of an organizational unit in order to create the computer account. This is important, because if you do not use all required Kickstart options and the installation therefore does not begin automatically, you can go to the screens which were not automatically configured, perform any configuration you want. In this article, we will add UEFI support to our PXE Boot Server on CentOS 7. The device specified in the first network command is activated automatically. Optional. If partitioning fails for any reason, diagnostic messages appear on virtual console 3. mntpoint - Where the partition is mounted. Placing the file in a network location complements the usual approach to Kickstart installations, which is also network-based: the system is booted using a PXE server, the Kickstart file is downloaded from a network share, and software packages specified in the file are downloaded from remote repositories. If not provided, this defaults to the next available non-system group ID. See the chapter about persistent storage device naming in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Storage Administration Guide for more in-depth information about different ways to consistently refer to storage devices. --name= - The repository id. A CentOS 7.x kickstart with hardware raid, I use the following partition configuration: The nscd service caches information about users, groups, and various other types of information. Can be used across different drives. The DHCP method uses a DHCP server system to obtain its networking configuration. Modifies the default set of services that will run under the default systemd target. Files and directories are created with various permissions, dictated by the application used to create the file or directory. The following keys are recognized by the add-on: content-type - Type of the security content. Specifies additional iSCSI storage to be attached during installation. This command requires that installations be attended, so it is disabled by default. That seems like it'll be the easiest solution. by jlehtone » 2019/07/10 19:44:38, Post If you are performing a DVD-based installation, insert the CentOS installation DVD into the computer before starting the Kickstart installation. --host= - Connect to the VNC viewer process listening on the given host name. The Hesiod library uses these values to search DNS for a name, similar to the way that LDAP uses a base DN. --recommended - Determine the size of the partition automatically. --essid= - The network ID for wireless networks. To start a Kickstart installation, use the boot option inst.ks=location when booting the installation system, replacing location with the location of your Kickstart file. The network boot configuration procedure differs based on whether the AMD64/Intel 64 system you want to install CentOS on uses BIOS or UEFI. The main volume is not mounted or used directly in this example. You can specify a device to be activated in any of the following ways: the device name of the interface, for example, em1, the MAC address of the interface, for example, 01:23:45:67:89:ab, the keyword link, which specifies the first interface with its link in the up state. If you want to encrypt the password, use this option and an encrypted password. --encrypted - Encrypts all partitions. The zerombr initializes any invalid partition tables that are found on disks and destroys all of the contents of disks with invalid partition tables. Creates a Logical Volume Management (LVM) group. Normally, Kickstart displays a message and waits for the user to press a key before rebooting. Specify an integer value here such as 500 (do not include the unit). Note that NFS file locking is not supported while in Kickstart mode, therefore the -o nolock option is required. Takes the form of a 16-digit number, preceded by 0x. This is due to the POODLE SSL vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566). --opts= - Options to pass to the kernel module. This screen should only be used when a specific policy is mandated by your organization rules or government regulations. The next part uses these pairs of physical partitions to create a software RAID device with RAID1 level (mirroring). A slave can be followed by its configuration, which is a single-quoted JSON string with double quotes escaped by the \ character. Then, when you click Done to continue, the screen is captured including the configuration you just provided. Two configs that could differ. --ipaddr= (required) - the IP address of the target to connect to. --krb5adminserver= - The KDC in your realm that is also running kadmind. For example: Only install the group’s mandatory packages, not the default selections. In that case, the installer will determine the amount of memory automatically based on the criteria described in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Kernel Crash Dump Guide. The partition will be used for a BIOS Boot partition. --disabled= - Disable the services given in the comma separated list. A usage type defines a variety of tuning parameters to be used when making a filesystem. by Thraex » 2019/07/11 19:11:02, Return to “CentOS 7 - General Support”, Powered by phpBB® Forum Software © phpBB Limited. You can optionally select to not mount anything (the --nomount option) or mount in read-only mode (the --romount option). Create boot media, which will be used to begin the installation. In our previous post “Setup a PXE Boot Server in RHEL/CentOS 7”, we have configured a PXE boot server for network installations of new systems. CentOS 7 Kickstart installation with PXE Server. For example: Available optional parameters are listed in the Working with Kernel Modules chapter of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 System Administrator’s Guide. The setup of the TFTP server to support PXE boot for UEFI servers is a bit different from the setup to support the BIOS servers. --onboot= - Whether or not to enable the device at boot time. By default, the available profiles are default and thin-performance and are defined in the /etc/lvm/profile/ directory. --netmask= - Network mask for the installed system. Perform the installation in a completely non-interactive command line mode. NFS locations can be given in the form of nfs:host:/path/to/img. The partitions* (which denotes that multiple partitions can be listed) lists the RAID identifiers to add to the RAID array. In contrast with autopart, this command only creates platform-specific partitions and leaves the rest of the drive empty, allowing you to create a custom layout. For more information about this command, see the join section of the realm(8) man page. Applying a security policy is not necessary on all systems. The fifth, largest pair of partitions is named pv.01 and will be used in the following part as a physical volume for LVM. --enforcing - Enables SELinux with the default targeted policy being enforcing. --proxy=[protocol://][username[:password]@]host[:port] - Specify an HTTP/HTTPS/FTP proxy to use just for this repository. For example: --bridgeslaves= - When this option is used, the network bridge with device name specified using the --device= option will be created and devices defined in the --bridgeslaves= option will be added to the bridge. When encrypting one or more partitions, Anaconda attempts to gather 256 bits of entropy to ensure the partitions are encrypted securely. To generate an encrypted password, use the grub2-mkpasswd-pbkdf2 command, enter the password you want to use, and copy the command’s output (the hash starting with grub.pbkdf2) into the Kickstart file. nfs - Install from the NFS server specified. If you have multiple KDCs in your realm, use a comma-separated list without spaces. --autoscreenshot - Take a screenshot at every step during installation. For a detailed example of part in action, see Advanced Partitioning Example. The source code for this UI is licensed under the terms of the MPL-2.0 license. The %pre and %post sections, and the %onerror section - these sections can be in any order and are not required. --fsoptions= - Specifies a free form string of options to be used when mounting the filesystem. The root DSE portion of the distinguished name can usually be left out. efibootmgr --create --label CentOS --disk /dev/sda1 --loader "\EFI\centos\shim.efi" Where /dev/sda1 corresponds to /boot/efi. Assigns a name to an iSCSI node specified by the iscsi parameter. --data= - RAID level to use for file system data (such as 0, 1, or 10). Specify groups, one entry to a line, starting with an @ symbol, and then the full group name or group id as given in the *-comps-variant.architecture.xml file. The install command and the installation method command must be on separate lines. The default value is 10. All available environments are described in the repodata/*-comps-variant.architecture.xml file on the CentOS 7.8.2003 Installation DVD. The installer will run all %onerror scripts in the order they are provided in the Kickstart file. where driveN is one of sda, sdb,…​, hda,…​ and so on. This parameter is optional, has no meaning for subvolumes, and requires more than one physical disk. This name must be unique within the volume group. The following options can be used to change the behavior of pre-installation scripts. The keys are stored as a separate file for each encrypted volume. --teamslaves= - Team device specified by the --device= option will be created using slaves specified in this option. You can then copy this file, make any changes you need, and use the resulting configuration file in further installations. Installation cannot continue after such an error has occured. Add-ons for Anaconda which expand the functionality of the installer can also be used in the command section by using the %addon addon_name command. --enableldap - Turns on LDAP support in /etc/nsswitch.conf, allowing your system to retrieve information about users (for example, their UIDs, home directories, and shells) from an LDAP directory. For example: Driver disks can be used during Kickstart installations to provide additional drivers not included by default. parent should be the identifier of the subvolume’s parent volume and mntpoint is the location where the file system is mounted. --ssh - If this is option is present, then the password string is interpreted as an ssh key value. --metadatasize=size - Specify the metadata area size (in MiB) for a new thin pool device. In my case i have already downloaded CentOS 7.x iso file on my PXE Server. --maxsize= - The maximum size in MiB when the logical volume is set to grow. To specify more than one name server, use this option once, and separate each IP address with a comma. You can change this behavior using the --nochroot option as described below. To determine the size of the swap partition automatically but also allow extra space for your system to hibernate, use the --hibernation option: The partition is used for software RAID (see raid). --mountoptions= - Specifies a free form string that contains options to be used when mounting the file system. --append= - Specifies additional kernel parameters. This server handles password changing and other administrative requests. Allows the graphical installation to be viewed remotely through VNC. You must copy the driver disks’s contents to the root directory of a partition on the system’s hard drive. For example: The docbook* entry includes the packages docbook-dtds, docbook-simple, docbook-slides and others that match the pattern represented with the wildcard. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Networking Guide for general information about network bridging. Open the boot loader configuration file on your PXE server, and add the inst.ks= boot option to the appropriate line. No processing is done on the list of arguments, so they must be supplied in a format that can be passed directly to the mkfs program. Instead of using them at the %packages command in the Kickstart file, append them to the group name. Valid values are xfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, swap, and vfat. This option only applies during the installation, and will not affect Yum configuration on the installed system. This option is only meaningful if --encrypted is specified. --useshadow or --enableshadow - Use shadow passwords. --encrypted - Specifies that this RAID device should be encrypted, using the passphrase provided in the --passphrase option. Any scripting language available on the system can be used; in most cases, these are /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, and /usr/bin/python. --vlanid= - Specifies virtual LAN (VLAN) ID number (802.1q tag) for the device created using the device specified in --device= as a parent. For example: --blockdevs= - Specifies a comma-separated list of block devices corresponding to the NVDIMM devices to be used. When using the liveimg installation mode with a driver disk, drivers on the disk will not automatically be included in the installed system. Because post-install script runs in a chroot environment, most systemctl commands will refuse to perform any action. --krb5realm= - The Kerberos 5 realm to which your workstation belongs. Allows you to specify commands that you would like to run outside of the chroot environment. --noformat or --useexisting - Use an existing Btrfs volume (or subvolume) and do not reformat the file system. If a password is specified, GRUB2 also asks for a user name. Sets the language to use during installation and the default language to use on the installed system. --bindto=mac - Bind the device configuration (ifcfg) file on the installed system to the device MAC address (HWADDR) instead of the default binding to the interface name (DEVICE). The following example shows how to create a Btrfs volume from member partitions on three disks with subvolumes for / and /home. --uid= - The user’s UID (User ID). Providing a prepared Kickstart file when the installation begins therefore allows you to perform the installation automatically, without need for any intervention from the user. This option requires the --cachepvs= option. For architecture-specific instructions, see: Booting the Installation on 64-bit AMD, Intel, and ARM systems for 64-bit AMD, Intel, and ARM systems, Booting the Installation on IBM Power Systems for IBM Power Systems servers. Kickstart installations offer a means to automate the installation process, either partially or fully. For ipv6 configuration use --ipv6 and --ipv6gateway options. Finally, the last set of commands first creates a volume group named sysvg on the pv.01 physical volume. If the Kickstart file is valid and contains all required commands, the installation is completely automated. The default value is 4096 (4 MiB), and the minimum value is 1024 (1 MiB). This option only applies on IBM System z. If the Kickstart file is valid and contains all required commands, the installation is completely automated from this point forward. --interfacename= - Specify a custom interface name for a virtual LAN device. Removes partitions from the system, prior to creation of new partitions. --source= - URL for the driver disk. For example: --mode= - The mode specification. ), or any file system that the installation media can mount. Only a single environment can be specified in the Kickstart file. If your Kickstart file is in this location, you do not need to use the inst.ks= boot option at all. --disabled - Disables SELinux completely on the system. The following is an integrated example showing the clearpart, zerombr, part, raid, volgroup, and logvol Kickstart options in action: This advanced example implements LVM over RAID, as well as the ability to resize various directories for future growth. For information about these file systems, see File System Types (x86). If you must use the iscsi command, ensure that networking is activated at the beginning of the installation, and that the iscsi command appears in the Kickstart file before you refer to iSCSI disks with commands such as clearpart or ignoredisk. Then, three logical volumes (/var, /var/freespace and /usr/local) are created and added to the sysvg volume group. To use an option, append it to the %pre line at the beginning of the script. I don't know for sure if that works for EFI or not. The automatic installer should start. Applicable only to newly created volume groups. --escrowcert=URL_of_X.509_certificate - Store the data encryption key for this device in a file in /root, encrypted using the X.509 certificate from the URL specified with URL_of_X.509_certificate. --iscrypted - If this option is present, the password argument is assumed to already be encrypted. Next, press the Esc key on your keyboard once to switch to the boot: prompt. To list more than one device, use --trust em1 --trust em2. Assigns a mount point to an existing block device, and optionally reformats it to a given format. --ipv6= - IPv6 address of the device, in the form of address[/prefix length] - for example, 3ffe:ffff:0:1::1/128 . --groups= - In addition to the default group, a comma separated list of group names the user should belong to. See the group command. --passphrase= - Specifies the passphrase to use when encrypting this RAID device. See Installation Source on a DVD for information about using a CentOS DVD as the installation source. profile - ID of the profile to be applied. --drives= - Specifies which drives to clear partitions from. You can also use auto for automatic configuration, or dhcp for DHCPv6-only configuration (no router advertisements). This string will be copied into the /etc/fstab file of the installed system and should be enclosed in quotes. We recommend that wherever possible you configure iSCSI storage in the system BIOS or firmware (iBFT for Intel systems) rather than use the iscsi command. Kickstart installations can contain custom scripts which are run when the installer encounters a fatal error - for example, an error in a package that has been requested for installation, failure to start VNC when specified, or an error when scanning storage devices. For example: Allows you to specify a different scripting language, such as Python. mntpoint - Where to mount the device. The other method is to download iso image from respective Linux flavours official site and enable UEFI option in BIOS Target Server. It is frequently used to specify the user’s full name, office number, and so on. Use anything supported by the inst.repo command instead of LABEL to specify your hard disk drive. --gid= - The GID (Group ID) to be used for the user’s group. This option is equal to --type=plain. This is especially useful when deploying CentOS on a large number of systems at once. The following example copies the file /etc/resolv.conf to the file system that was just installed. To use an add-on in your Kickstart file, use the %addon addon_name options command, and finish the command with an %end statement, similar to pre-installation and post-installation scripts described in previous sections. This means that by default when an application creates a file, it is prevented from granting write permission to users other than the owner of the file. If prefix is omitted, 64 is used. --size= - The minimum partition size in MiB. The behavior of any subsequent network command in the same Kickstart file is unspecified if its --device= option is missing. This is accomplished by the exec < /dev/tty6 > /dev/tty6 2> /dev/tty6 and chvt 6 commands. Normally, Kickstart installations skip unnecessary screens. It is not related in any way to core packages as defined in the Package Manifest and Scope of Coverage Details. If you do, Kickstart will enable or disable only the services up to the first space. Following is my ks.cfg script which I am using for the CentOS 7 offline installation: This is a known issue. If a repository has a name which conflicts with another previously added repository, it is ignored. This option is only meaningful if --escrowcert is specified. For example: The OpenSCAP installer add-on is used to apply SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) content - security policies - on the installed system. --noformat - Use an existing RAID device and do not format the RAID array. --ntpservers= - Specify a list of NTP servers to be used as a comma-separated list without spaces. These accounts are not transferred to the installed system. All CentOS Documentation content available under CC-BY-SA 3.0. This option is mutually exclusive with --plaintext. For changing the minimum UID and GID limits after the installation, which ensures that your chosen UID and GID ranges are applied automatically on user creation, see the Users and Groups chapter of the System Administrator’s Guide. NOTE: Here /dev/sda is the hard drive where CentOS 7 should be installed and /dev/sdb1 is the USB drive where you saved ks.cfg file.. --fstype= - Sets the file system type for the RAID array. Want to install only centos 7 . This is especially useful in large storage environments. To specify more than one server, separate the names with commas (,). For example: Configures the X Window System. In addition to groups, you specify an entire environment to be installed: This command installs all packages which are part of the Infrastracture Server environment. The following is an example Kickstart file which demonstrates how to install and enable a service, in this case the Random Number Generator (RNG) daemon, which supplies entropy to the system kernel: The services --enabled=rngd command instructs the installed system to start the RNG daemon each time the system starts. More information can be found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 System Administrator’s Guide. You must include the required options. It tells the compose tools to not look at the package group information when mirroring trees so as to avoid mirroring large amounts of unnecessary data. Boot the system using either local media (a CD, DVD, or a USB flash drive). If you want to disable root ssh access, while allowing another user ssh access, use the following: To simply disable root ssh access, use the following: Perform the Kickstart installation in text mode. How can I configure a RHEL 7 kickstart script to install for both BIOS and EFI systems?
