9.3.3. Install Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hosts from Optical Installation Media

Now that you have registered the host with RHN, acquired the Hypervisor images, and used the Hypervisor images to create optical installation media, you will boot the system using the optical installation media.
Summary
Booting the Hypervisor from optical installation media requires the system to have a correctly defined BIOS boot configuration.
  1. Ensure that the system's BIOS is configured to boot from the CD or DVD drive before proceeding.

    Note

    See your manufacturer's manuals for further information on modifying the system's BIOS boot configuration.
  2. Insert the Hypervisor CD in the CD or DVD drive.
  3. Reboot the system.
Result
The host's screen will display the Hypervisor boot screen.
