Step by Step install of CentOS 6.3 on Microsoft Hyper-V Server with Linux Integration Services Version 3.4
Create new VHD w/ Legacy Network Adapter for CentOS 6.3
Download CentOS 6.3-minimal.iso (insert disk & install)
Download LinuxICv34.iso (insert disk)
mount /dev/cdrom /media /media/install.sh |
Oops, we got the following error:
ls: cannot access hyper-v-rhel6-43.1.x86_64.rpm: no such file or directory
RPM’s are missing
But I know they are not missing, just I can’t execute them due to directory permissions.
There is one additional step to install Linux Integration Services v3.2 on CentOS 6.3.
chmod 777 /media /media/install.sh |
Correction! Please use the following if the above doesn’t work for you.
mount /dev/cdrom /media mkdir /home/LIC cp /media/* /home/LIC cd /home/LIC/ ./install.shOops, we got the following error: install.sh command not foundcd/home/LIC/cd/media/RHEL63 well if you are in the right directory and "./install.sh " does not work, you may have to type "shinstall.sh ". if that doesn't work then try "sh ./install.sh " |
OR this.
cd /media/RHEL63
sh install.sh
Once the install is done, shutdown the VPS, note the mac address and then remove the legacy adapter.
Add a standard network adapter with static mac previously noted. apply and restart the VPS
Update your network settings via vi
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
use "i" to insert text, (esc) to exit and ":wq" to write your changes.
IT should look something like this:
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
HWADDR=(MAC ADDRESS, This should match what is configured in Hyper-V)
IPADDR=(YOUR SERVER IP)
GATEWAY=(YOUR DEFAULT GATEWAY)
DNS1=(PRIMARY DNS SERVER IP)
DNS2=(SECONDARY DNS SERVER IP)
If your system is still not online for static IP do this:
Networking=yes
ifconfig eth0 (IP) (MASK) up
