The new directory in this example is isocopy.
6. Change directory to the usbkey directory by typing the following command:
cd /root/sp-builds/isocopy/usbkey
7. Insert the USB drive that you are going to use for installing System Platform.
Note:
Newer Linux distros (later than RHEL/CentOS5) will often automatically mount a
USB drive, if possible. In this case the system will typically mount the device in
a directory under /media. The directory name is based on the volume label.
Therefore, a Corsair USB drive may be mounted under /media/CORSAIR. An
icon will appear on the desktop representing the device. Make a note of the device
(typically /dev/sdb) and the mountpoint (for example, /media/CORSAIR or /
media/disk).
Warning:
If the device is not automatically mounted, type the command dmesg and check
the output (see Formatting a USB drive on page 89) to know how the USB drive is
represented in the operating system. Typically, the device representation should
be similar to /dev/sdb. Mount the USB drive manually using the device
representation and a mountpoint by typing the command mount /dev/sdb1 /
mnt/myusbkey. If this command fails, please check that the device is formatted
as per the task
Formatting a USB drive on page 89.
8. Run the script setup_usbkey.sh by entering the device and USB drive
mountpoint as arguments. This command can take a few minutes to run depending
on the speed of your system. If the command is successful it will exit without an
error. If there is any error running the command it will be displayed to the user on
screen.
Note:
In this example, it is assumed that the USB drive is found at /dev/sdb and the
mountpoint is /media/disk. Therefore, the command to run the script will
be ./setup_usbkey.sh /dev/sdb /media/disk. If the system did not
automatically mount the device and it was manually mounted at /mnt/
myusbkey, the command to run the script will be
./setup_usbkey.sh /dev/sdb /mnt/myusbkey
9. Unmount the USB drive and use it to install System Platform by typing the command
umount /media/disk (for automatic mounting of the USB drive) or
umount /mnt/myusbkey (for manual mounting of the USB drive).
