RHEL8 teaching environment virtual machine installed on VMware Workstation

When installing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 teaching environment, students need to install the environment into a virtual machine to practice on their laptops. VMware Workstation is generally recommended to host the entire teaching environment.

Get ready:

1) mobile hard disk

2) USB disk above 16G

3) RHEL8 teaching environment software

Step 1: check whether the teaching environment software is complete

# yum install -y http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/python3-pyyaml-3.12-12.el8.i686.rpm

# ./rht-usb-8.x-7.r2019052915git14db55b verify RHCIfoundation-RHEL80-7.r2019052915-ILT-7-en_US.icmf

Step 2: format USB disk

# lsblk

# umount /dev/sdc1

# cd /mnt/hd/rhel8

# ./rht-usb-8.x-7.r2019052915git14db55b usbmkpart /dev/sdc gpt
INFO     Configuration file: /root/.icrm/config.yml
INFO     Partitioning USB Device: /dev/sdc

Wipe existing partitioning of /dev/sdc (y/N) y
INFO     /dev/sdc: zap partitions OK
INFO     /dev/sdc: wipe partitions OK

INFO     /dev/sdc3: apparent RHTINST partition
INFO     Now run usbformat of /dev/sdc3
INFO     Appear to have properly partitioned USB device.

Check it and find that the above command divides my 64G USB disk into three areas, as follows:

sdc               8:32   1   60G  0 disk 
├─sdc1            8:33   1    1M  0 part 
├─sdc2            8:34   1  200M  0 part 
└─sdc3            8:35   1 59.8G  0 part

Format the third partition.

# ./rht-usb-8.x-7.r2019052915git14db55b usbformat /dev/sdc3
