VM Installation Sources
You have two sources from which to install VMs for the PlateSpin
®
Orchestrate VM Client:
Section A.1, “Disk Installation Sources,” on page 153
Section A.2, “Guest Operating System Installation Sources,” on page 153
A.1 Disk Installation Sources
To install a fully virtualized machine, you can specify an installation source that must be mounted in
such a way that the VM recognizes it as a mounted installation source. For example, FTP, HTTP, and
NFS.
For other installation sources to use for both fully virtualized and paravirtualized installations, the
following sources can be designated to serve as virtual mount points:
A disk image, such as an ISO file accessible from the local file system of the machine
performing the installation. For example:
/install_ISOs/sles10sp2.iso
IMPORTANT:
This ISO needs to be available on all Orchestrate Servers in the virtualization
grid that were installed with the Virtual Machine Builder pattern, because a VM could access
this ISO from any of them.
A remote storage device specified by using the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) protocol. For example:
iscsi:iqn.2001-04.com.acme:0ac47ee2-216e-452a-a341-a12624cd0225
Also, in order to add an iSCSI hard drive to a VM, the host server needs to have the iSCSI
targets discovered, or it will not create the VM.
A remote storage device specified by using a Fibre Channel (NPIV) protocol. For example:
npiv:210400e08b80c40f
Both Linux and Windows operating systems can use these installation sources, as applicable.
A.2 Guest Operating System Installation
Sources
You need to designate an installation source for a paravirtualized machine. The following is a list of
guest operating systems and the installation sources to use for a paravirtualized installation. The
listed sources are suggestions and examples.
Section A.2.1, “SUSE,” on page 154
Section A.2.2, “NetWare,” on page 154
Section A.2.3, “Other Linux Installation Sources,” on page 154
