This tutorial will guide you through the process of deploying Ubuntu and Debian systems.

 

Coming soon: LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning 7.0. With enhanced security, faster 64-bit imaging, user extensibility and many other enhancements, LBMP 7.0 ("Buddy Holly" release) will also do bare metal provisioning of these new additional distros and platforms: RHEL/CentOS 7.x, ESXi 6.x, Debian 8.x, Ubuntu 14.xx/15.xx/16.xx, Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.x/6.x/7.x, Fedora 2x and more.

 

Contact us for more details and early access. And enjoy LBMP 6.6 ("Chuck Berry"release) in the meantime!

 

Ubuntu is Debian-based and thus shares Debian's architecture and installation mechanism:

•The "Preseed" installation file (preseed.cfg)

•The Debian installer

 

This tutorial describes the steps needed to remotely install the operating system (and applications) on client systems:

 

1)Prepare the Ubuntu ISO media from the command line, using scripts

2)Prepare the Debian media from the command line, using scripts to access a Debian repository

3)Prepare Provisioning Roles using the browser-based Graphical User Interface

4)Power up the Client System to be provisioned (Debian and Ubuntu clients must have Internet or local repository access)

 

Please refer to the Application Programming Interface (API) to integrate Cisco Server Provisioner's functions into your application.
