Performing maintenance

Procedure

1. Select an OS family.

2. Enter the OS media path, which can be a Windows share or an FTP site on the local network.

Installation of Windows from an FTP site is not supported.

a. For a Windows share location, enter the following network connection settings:

• Server Name or IP Address—Server name or IP address of the server that hosts the OS

contents. If a server name is specified, a DNS entry is also required.

• Share Name—The name of the network share using Server Message Block (SMB) protocol that

hosts the OS contents.

• Network Share User—User name used to access the network share.

• Network Share Password—Password for the user name used to access the network share.

b. For an FTP site, enter:

• Server Name or IP Address—FTP server name or IP address of the server that hosts the OS

contents. FTP support requires anonymous access to the FTP server and does not support

connecting to an FTP server through a proxy.

IMPORTANT:

◦ When entering an FTP path, do not include spaces and punctuation. The FTP server

directory structure cannot contain spaces or special characters (including punctuation).

◦ Windows and SLES FTP installation, and RHEL network share installation are not

supported.

c. For ClearOS, click Install ClearOS from the Internet.

The system automatically pulls the ISO from the specified location to install it.

3. Enter the user name and password for the Deployment Settings package to use to access the network

share.

This password is not encrypted. For a more secure access method, use FTP.

4. Select the OS and the keyboard language.

5. Enter the product key.

If you do not enter a product key and one is required, the OS installation pauses indefinitely, prompting

you to enter the key. The installation resumes after you enter the product key.

6. Click Deploy, and verify that you are ready to create the OS.

7. Click Apply to install the OS.
