Preconfiguring the KVM/net for Remote Installation

Preconfiguring the KVM/net for Remote Installation

This section provides procedures that list the tasks for preconfiguring the KVM/net and setting it up in a separate location. You might preconfigure a KVM/net, for example, if you need to ship the KVM/net to a remote location that does not have a system administrator.

If you would prefer to have Cyclades pre-configure the KVM/net with basic network parameters at Cyclades before it is shipped, ask your Cyclades contact to put you in touch with Cyclades professional services. For a fee, they can preconfigure the KVM/net with parameters you supply.
