Summary

In this chapter, you learned:

  • Red Hat Virtualization Hosts can be installed automatically using Kickstart.

  • Kickstart can be used, in conjunction with PXE and TFTP, to start the installation by booting from the network, which allows quick and fully unattended, automatic installation of new RHV-H hosts.

  • Many major changes to RHV hosts and data centers requires the hosts or data centers to be placed into maintenance mode. This mode allows you to make permanent changes to any resource.

  • When the RHV-H host is the last host left in a data center, the data center must be placed in maintenance mode before the host can be placed into maintenance mode.

  • Satellite Server can be used as a provisioning server. Using Satellite Server allows administrators to provision grouped machines, using HostGroups. Satellite Server also provides ongoing support for upgrades. Enterprise grade provisioning and management should always be done using Satellite Server.
