8.1.2 Using the P2V Utility with a Kickstart File
You can use a kickstart file to automate the creation of a guest image of a physical
computer using the P2V utility. When you use the P2V utility with a kickstart file, no
user intervention is required. If there are any missing parameters in the kickstart file,
you are prompted to enter them.
To use a P2V kickstart file, you must create a file with the P2V configuration options
and parameters and place it on a kickstart server. The kickstart server can be made
available using NFS, FTP, or HTTP. The kickstart server is set up in the same way as a
standard Oracle Enterprise Linux or Red Hat kickstart server.
The following example P2V kickstart file starts sends the guest image to an instance of
Oracle VM Manager via network device eth0, which obtained an IP address via
DHCP:
