Now let us start.

I will open the session in putty as it is easy to run commands.

Step1: We will link DVD iso in vmplayer. I will power off the machine so that i can add iso file

Step2: Mount the iso file to some folder permanently

Step3: create yum repoistory. Remove/Move all default repo

Step4: Try install http package for testing purpose

Step5: We will make the mount permanent. This mount iso automatically during boot.

Thats all the steps to configure your local yum

Steps to install Centos using VMplayer

Install Centos6/Redhat6 using VMplayer

Here we will install centos 6. Redhat installation will be similar to centos

Below are few steps.

Step1: Open VMplayer and configure necessary settings (CPU,RAM, Disk etc)

Step2: Installation of OS. Run the VM

Step3: Once installation completes reboot the VM

Step4: After system comes up check the IP address. Currenlty there no IP address assigned.
We will check the config.
IP adress is 192.168.111.128 - This is dynamic IP which means in next reboot server may have different IP.

Step5: Create a static IP address for the server. We should know the gateway IP of the server and add it in eth0 config.
Gateway IP is 192.168.111.2

Step6: We will reboot and check if IP address is same
IP address is same.

Step7: Now you can use this IP to connect the virtual machine from putty (Host Machine)

Step8: Thats All. Hope you liked this.
Thanks
