Required Packages

5.4. Required Packages

If using a custom distribution be sure that the packages koan and spacewalk-koan are available

within a child channel of the distribution's base channel. These packages are available from any rhn-

tools channel, and you may want to clone an existing rhn-tools channel in order to have access to

these packages from your custom channel.

6. Kickstart Profiles

Kickstart profiles are the "recipes" that allow the installer to install the system with all of the

configurations that the user wants. It is highly recommended that you review the "Kickstart

Installations" Chapter of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide available at the following

URL:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/ch-

kickstart2.html

This guide discusses all of the options available for customizing the installation.

6.1. Virtualization Types

All Kickstart profiles have a virtualization type associated with them:

• None — This profile will be treated as not virtualized at all. Use for normal re-provisioning and bare

metal installs.

• KVM Virtualized Guest — A KVM Guest. This is a supported feature for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

5.4 and newer.

• Xen Fully-Virtualized Guest — This option requires hardware support on the host, but does not

require a modified operating system in the guest.

• Xen Para-Virtualized Guest — A virtual guest using Xen para-virtualiztion. Para-virtualiztion is the

fastest virtualization mode and does not require hardware support, but does require a modified

operating system. The following versions are supported as guests under para-virtualization:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Any Update supported)

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (Update 5 or later)

• * Xen Virtualization Host — A system that will host guests using Xen virtualization technology. This

can support Xen paravirt guests, and can also support Xen fullvirt guests if the hardware itself

supports it.

Note

Kickstarts created to be Xen hosts should include the kernel-xen package in the

%packages section.

Kickstarts for KVM hosts should include the qemu package.

Fullvirt systems may require virtualization support to be turned on in the computer's BIOS.
