Adding a Non-Windows OS Image in Bare Metal Agent
This procedure creates a Non-Windows OS image template in Bare Metal Agent. You must add the OS image template before you can request a PXE boot for the OS image.
Note |
You cannot use this procedure to create supported Windows operating systems images. For more information about how to set up Windows OS images, see Adding Windows OS Images. |

Step 2 |
Navigate to /opt/infra and run isoExtractor.sh . Example:The following sample isoExtractor.sh file shows a scenario for an OS image in the Bare Metal Agent directory structure. The image path field contains the location of the VMware image in the /opt/image/ folder. If you have added an NFS mount point, the image path field would contain the location of the image in the /mnt/external folder. For example, if you want to create a CentOS image that is located in a CentOS folder in an NFS mount point, the image path field would contain /mnt/external/CentOS/image.iso.
