Installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (x86_64 and i386) Installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Updated: 09 Nov 2011 There are several steps to setting up a fully-integrated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) system at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Please note: These are not complete Red Hat Enterprise Linux install instructions; go to the for more complete information. System Requirements Architecture These instructions are for installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) on an IA-32 system (i.e., a 32-bit Intel- or AMD-based system) and Opteron 64-bit systems (x86_64). Minimum Memory Red Hat recommends for 32 bit a minimum of 1GB memory/logical CPU, and for 64 bit a minimum of 1GB of memory, 1GB/logical CPU. At SLAC, RHEL6 has been successfully installed on systems with 512 MB, but such systems have a tendency to bog down badly due to excessive swapping when too many applications are open at once.

Minimum Disk Space OCIO recommends a minimum disk size of above 12 GB, and a minimum root partition ('/') size of about 9 GB. CDROM Drive Red Hat does not include a floppy version of the boot images for RHEL6. Your system will need a boot-capable CDROM drive, or a BIOS which knows how to PXE boot (ask unix-admin about that if you have questions). Preparing to Install • Consider submitting a to have OCIO do the installation for you. • Have previous experience installing Red Hat Linux, or else read the. • Have an IP address and node name for your system. If necessary,.

• Have available the network and host information required by a Red Hat Linux install, which includes (but may not be limited to): IP address, gateway, netmask and DNS server (provided by your Desktop admin when you obtain your IP address); video card/monitor specs (including size of video RAM); disk drive size; etc. • If you are an experienced Linux user and intend to retain some responsibility for administering your system, you may want to familiarize yourself with before beginning.

This procedure does a 'clean install', not an upgrade. If you follow against storing permanent data on a workstation's system disk, this should not be a problem. If you do have some data you want to preserve on this disk, but it is all stored in a non-system partition, e.g., /u1, you might be OK, providing your system partitions are large enough to accommodate RHEL6 with sufficient room for future updates (see, below).

The installation program is mostly self-explanatory if you have installed UNIX or Linux before. We will only mention either complex or SLAC-specific issues below. To make a bootable CDROM for installing RHEL6, you will need to burn an ISO 9660 image file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media. On Linux, you can use an application like (requires X Windows) or (a command-line tool). On a RHEL5 desktop system, double clicking on a file ending in '.iso' will bring up a 'Write to Disk' dialog box which can be used to burn a copy of the file to a CD-R disk.

Mac OSX can successfully create bootable CDROMs using the CDROM burning utility. To create an installation boot CDROM under Linux, using the cdrecord utility: • Find the ISO 9660 disc image for an installation boot CDROM for your architecture and the current RHEL6 Update level: for 64-bit Older info: cd /nfs/slac/g/scs/redhat/RedHat/RHEL6/6u1/workstation/x86_64/bootiso/ ls rhel-workstation-6.1-x86_64-boot.iso for 32-bit cd /nfs/slac/g/scs/redhat/RedHat/RHEL6/6u1/workstation/i386/bootiso/ ls rhel-workstation-6.1-i386-boot.iso • Put a blank CD-R (or CD-RW) disc into the CDROM drive. • To get information about your CDROM drive, run the command: cdrecord -scanbus dev=/dev/hdc You'll get a line that includes some text identifying your specific CDROM device, along with the device address; for example: 1,0,0 100) '_NEC ' 'CD-RW NR-9300A ' '105B' Removable CD-ROM The first field in this example, '1,0,0', is your CDROM device address. This is the information you'll need. • Run a command like the following: cdrecord -v -speed=2 dev=1,0,0 -eject -data boot.iso On some systems you may need to prefix the device address with a transport layer indicator, such as 'ATA:' or 'ATAPI:', or you may need additional options on the cdrecord command line. See the man page for cdrecord for details. If you haven't burned any CDROMs before, it's a good idea to run some tests first by adding the '-dummy' option to the cdrecord command line.
