Line 13: + + − + − − MARKER: Alpha 2 makes below steps obsolete. Removing these steps − == After first reboot == − ==== Enable networking ==== − This is a temporary measure, and should work if you have the a DHCP server giving your external adapter (usually eth1) an IP address. − − * Login as root and issue: − − <syntaxhighlight lang="Bash"> − ifup eth0 − ifup eth1 − </syntaxhighlight> − − − ==== Configure SME9 repositories ==== − Download a repo file that will enable the SME9 repo's as a temporary measure until the SME9 yum.conf settings are enabled. After the post-upgrade/reboot the proper yum configuration is enabled. − − <syntaxhighlight lang="Bash"> − wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/sme9.repo http://bugs.contribs.org/attachment.cgi?id=3682 − </syntaxhighlight> − − − ==== Yum upgrade ==== − The latest the e-smith and smeserver packages needed are installed by the CD now, and bug [[bugzilla:7350]] is fixed with e-smith-base-5.4.0-10 so now the command is just: − − <syntaxhighlight lang="Bash"> − yum --disablerepo=base,updates,extras upgrade --nogpg − </syntaxhighlight> − − − ==== post-upgrade / reboot ==== − Installation is done and we need to do: − − <syntaxhighlight lang="Bash"> − /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade − /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot − </syntaxhighlight> − − When system boots up it will ask you if you want to restore from backup (say no) and enter a root password, etc, and will reboot. − − − ==== Configure the server ==== − * Log in as root and run 'console' and select 'configure this server', choose the desired configuration and then it ask you to reboot again. It has been seen that the server freezes on entering the first letter of the admin password, more info needed on this. − * You should be able to access https://yourserverip/server-manager/ now in a browser but due to [[bugzilla:7254]] you need to access it twice until installing the latest e-smith-manager. − * Save a snapshot in virtualbox so you can revert to this point if needed.
Update to reflect alpha 2 workings. It boots as expected so no need for additional steps

The Alpha ISO will not give you a working system out of the box. There are steps here to follow after you install, but this will get you to a point that the other developers are at, and then you can report bugs and suggest fixes. Any issues that require developers attention should be logged in our Bug Tracker. (See below)

* We suggest you use a virtual machine, like Virtualbox - [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads]. The advantage is that you can save snapshots at important stages of testing and revert to them quickly. Some tips for virtualbox: The default settings for a Redhat virtual machine are fine, but you will want to change the Network settings to add a second network interface and be bridged adapters if you want to test Server-Gateway mode. The 1st adapter is local, the 2nd adapter is external.

* Download the SME9 Alpha ISO from [http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/testing/9/iso/ '''here''']. Use the x86_64 version if your hardware supports it. If possible use something like [[SME9Alpha#Zsync|ZSync]] which will transfer just the chages to the ISO and not the whole file itself :
