I am trying to do a VM install using virt-install.
following is the command that I am using.
virt-install --connect=qemu:///system --name=kickStarthost --disk=/var/lib/libvirt/images/kickStarthost.img,sparse=true,size=40,format=qcow2 --location="nfs://172.31.97.197/var/nfs/centos6.5/" --initrd- inject=/var/nfs/anaconda-ks-staticIP.cfg --extra-args="ks=file:./anaconda-ks-staticIP.cfg" --ram=1024 --graphics vnc --vcpu 2 --network=network=default --os-type linux --os-variant rhel6
The kickstart file defines the network as following
network --onboot=on --device=eth0 --bootproto=dhcp .
and the installation goes completely fine.
Since the next step for us to move the installation with the static IP (we require it as there are some project dependencies.) I changed the line to
network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --gateway=172.31.97.193 --ip=172.31.97.200 --nameserver=172.31.100.1 --netmask=255.255.255.240 --onboot=on
This fails as the centos installation cannot mount the nfs server.
The firewall is off so I cannot blame the ports blocking for NFS over static IP.
I am able to mount the NFS from the different server in the same subnet (ip 196) manually.
I think I am missing some small details for network setup, Just not sure how I can check for it and the options that I can try.
Any insight should be helpful.
