<p>Davidt: Isolated Network installation on RHEL5.3 with Network Hostname and IP.</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Isolated Network installation on RHEL5.3 with Network Hostname and IP.'''<br />
<br />
My installation was on RHEL5.3 in an isolated server environment. I downloaded the VServer rpm's from a public repo to a local directory /var/www/html/VServer<br />
<br />
#cd /etc/yum.repos.d/<br />
#vi VServerlocal.repo<br />
<br />
[VServer]<br />
name=VServer Mirror<br />
baseurl=http://10.x.x.x/VServer <- Change IP ADDRESS to local IP<br />
enabled=1<br />
gpgcheck=0<br />
<br />
''Disabled any other *.repo files I had''<br />
<br />
#server httpd restart<br />
#yum list<br />
<br />
''You should get a list of the new Repository created for VServer locally (I did this on my "host" root directory''<br />
<br />
#yum update yum<br />
#yum install kernel<br />
#vi /etc/sshd_config<br />
<br />
Add the line “ListenAddress <host IP address>”<br />
<br />
'''---REBOOT--'''<br />
<br />
#chkconfig –level 345 httpd on<br />
#server httpd restart<br />
#yum install util-vserver{,-core,-lib,-sysv,-build}<br />
#/etc/init.d/vprocunhide start<br />
#chkconfig vservers-default on<br />
<br />

<br />
#cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts<br />
#cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1<br />
<br />
#vi ifcfg-eth0:1<br />
<br />
Example eth0:1:<br />
# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet<br />
<br />
DEVICE=eth0:1 <- CHANGE to add :1<br />
<br />
BOOTPROTO=none<br />
<br />
HWADDR=00:00:00:00:AA:BB<br />

<br />
#service network restart<br />
<br />
''You should not get any errors on start up.''<br />

#cd /etc/vservers/.distributions/<br />

#cd /etc/vservers/.distributions/rhel5/yum.repos.d<br />

#cp /etc/yum.repos.d/vserver.repo .<br />
<br />
'''Create new vserver – EACH VSERVER REQUIRES A UNIQUE CONTEXT NUMBER -- '''<br />
<br />
#vserver newhostname1 build -m yum --context 42 --hostname=newhostname1 --interface eth0:10.x.x.20/24 -- -d rhel5<br />
<br />
Change 10.x.x.20 to the new eth:0:1 IP address.<br />
<br />
'''Post-build customization'''<br />
<br />
#vserver newhostname1 start<br />
#vyum hostname1 -- install filesystem.x86_64 0:2.4.0-2<br />
#vyum hostname1 -- install yum<br />
#vyum hostname1 -- install vim-minimal<br />
<br />
'''Now you are ready to login to your new Vserver.'''<br />
<br />
#vserver {hostname1} enter<br />
<br />
'''If you set up a Local RHEL5.3 Repo you can add all RPMs'''<br />
<br />
#cd /etc/yum.repo.d/<br />
