The following procedures assume that you are booting the installation media from one of the following sources:
Oracle VM distribution media in a connected internal or external CD/DVD drive
Oracle VM .iso image or KickStart image (network repository)
The following requirements must be met before you perform the Oracle VM PXE installation:
If you are using a KickStart image to perform the installation, you must:
Create a KickStart file.
Create the boot media with the KickStart file or make the KickStart file available on the network.
To use PXE to boot the installation media over the network, you must:
Configure the network (NFS, FTP, HTTP) server to export the installation tree.
Configure the files on the TFTP server necessary for PXE booting.
Configure the server MAC network port address to boot from the PXE configuration.
Configure the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
If you have a large-memory system, you might need to set the dom0_mem parameter. See Increasing dom0_mem for Large-Memory Systems.
