How to install ViciBox Server on remote machine running Fedo

[bghayad]

Hi All;

I have a remote server at other country running Fedora and Asterisk, I need to install ViciBox on it, so actually it is a fresh installation.

Is there a method to do this remotely on the Server? Any tool?

For example, there is kickstart that can be used for Redhat, is there a tool like this that can do the same for the ViciBox which is Open SuSi based?

Thanks for the kindly help.

Unfortunately, that tool would presume booting from the .iso image in question first, which requires putting that .iso image into the system. Obviously that's not going to happen as you are remote to the system.

Kickstart is excellent for building an .iso ... but if you cannot put that .iso image in a location that the system will boot from you are out of luck. And if you CAN put the .iso in a location from which to boot the system ... you will need access to the local keyboard and video.

So you need Remote KVM access to the system and either a human to put the .iso image in the system or a remote virtual CD simulation. Several Colocation faclities have this capacity, but obviously not all. In fact: WE have a colocation facility in-house and we can't do it! However, we do have the advantage of having a human in the room with the servers who is capable of burning .iso's and placing them in a CD on the server and then pushing buttons for a client to complete the basic OS install to get them up and running. Never had to do it, though, as the clients generally want US to do the installation. LOL

Redhat: they have a GUI tool that enables to login for the running system (which already has a running linux System), and from this GUI Tool, I am able to do the installation (same as doing infront of the machine), after finishing the installation setup, then it start the installation on the machine.

Do u know about this?
