Perform RHEL/CentOS installation from ISO with "Minimal Install" software option only

 

Only the "Minimal Install" ISO installation option is supported.

 

You do not need the latest RHEL 7 or CentOS 7 ISO, since performing a yum update will bring the distribution current.

 

At OS installation time, you will be prompted for:

•LSM Server IP address : ___.___.___.___ (must be on the same subnet as the LSM DHCP IP Service Range)

 

Using your resources from Requirements, launch your RHEL 7.x or CentOS 7.x installation ISO on your LSM Server Machine:
