Prep your environment
Before you try Digital Rebar, be sure your testing environment is properly configured.
Prep your laptop, VM or server
You’ll need a laptop, VM or server on which to install the Digital Rebar software.
- At least 8 GB of total RAM for a trial system.
- Linux or Darwin (MacOS) environment
- Run from containers is supported but networking DHCP and TFTP for PXEboot may require additional permissions and configuration.
- Check requirements for specific environments (e.g. VMware, VirtualBox)
Understand your networking environment
- Gather the subnet information for the server you’ll be using.
- For PXE, you must have DHCP server on local subnet (Digital Rebar include DHCP)
- If Digital Rebar is not the DHCP server then you must configure Next Server option.
- Proxy DHCP can be used if you cannot configure your DHCP server
- Machines in the trial must PXEboot from NIC on the DRP network.
