OS Provisioning Server Software Requirements
For OS provisioning to function correctly, the machine on which you are installing the OS Provisioning
Server requires the presence of some packages, while others conflict and are not allowed. Verify the
required and disallowed packages, making certain that the required packages are present and that any
disallowed packages are removed.
Required Packages
The Development Tools and Legacy Software Development package groups can be installed from Red Hat
media. These packages are found in the Legacy Software Development option for Red Hat and include
these components:
n
cURL
n
libstdc++.so.5, which is typically installed as part of compat-libstdc++-33
n
libstdc++libc6.2-2, which is typically installed as part of compat-libstdc++-296
n
libtool
n
kernel: If your Red Hat machine has 2 CPUs and 4 GB memory, install kernel-devel-2.6.18-92.el5. If
your machine has 2 CPUs and 8 GB memory, install kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-92.el5.
n
SQLite, from the group Applications/Databases
n
mailcap, from the System Environment/Base
n
selinux-policy-devel: Required when installing on RHEL 5.4 and 5.5. SELinux is supported only for
RHEL 5.5.
Disallowed Packages
OS Provisioning depends on specific versions of certain system software packages that might differ from
the version included by Red Hat. The OS Provisioning Server installation process provides the correct
version of these software packages. You must uninstall other version of these packages before installing
the OS Provisioning Server's provided versions. Remove the following packages:
n
fuse
n
tftp-server
n
system-config-netboot
n
stunnel
OS Provisioning Server Network Requirements
Configure your network settings to ensure that OS Provisioning Server installs and functions proprely.
Provisioning Network Interface
When provisioning machines, a private network interface is easier to configure and more secure to use.
However, you can also use a public network.
If you use a separate provisioning network, the provisioning network interface must be associated with
the hardware interface named eth1.
