Net Install ISO
The Hypervisor net install ISO is a minimal installation image that contains only the core OS components, allowing the installer to boot and then install the Hypervisor OS on a disk. After installation is completed, the Hypervisor OS pulls all required container images from the internet (mostly from Docker Hub).
You can use the net install ISO in the following situations:
- The virtual media implementation on a server is buggy or slow. Community users have reported that ISO redirection is too slow to preload all images onto a system.
- You have a private registry that contains all Hypervisor images, as well as the knowledge and experience required to configure image mirrors for containerd.
caution
You must always use the full ISO to bootstrap a Hypervisor cluster (in other words, use the ISO without the -net-install suffix). The full ISO contains all required images, and the installer preloads those images during installation. You can easily reach the Docker Hub rate limit when using a net install ISO to bootstrap the Hypervisor cluster.
