1.2. Preparing for Installation from USB Storage Drives

To install Virtuozzo Hybrid Server from a USB storage drive, you will need a 2 GB or higher-capacity USB drive and the Virtuozzo Hybrid Server 9 distribution ISO image.

Make a bootable USB drive by transferring the distribution image to it.

Important

Be careful to specify the correct drive to transfer the image to.

On Linux, you can use dd. For example:

# dd if=<VZ9_ISO_image> of=/dev/sdb

On Windows, you can use Rufus:

  1. In the Drive Properties section, select your flash drive from the Device drop-down menu and click SELECT. Then, select the distribution image from your local machine.

  2. Click START.
