Hello everyone, in this video we are going to learn how to install RHL 9 on Oracle VirtualBox
VirtualBox is a free and open source virtualization software which allows us to create multiple
operating systems on our computer. Medium system requirements for RHL 9 are as follows
We need at least 2 GB of RAM, 2 vCPUs, 40 GB of hard disk, Red Hat subscription and
internet connectivity. The logical steps for installing RHL 9 on VirtualBox are as follows
First download the RHL 9 ISO file. Start the VirtualBox manager. Create a virtual machine
Assign resources to it. Boot that virtual machine with the downloaded ISO file
Follow the screen instructions and finish the OS installation. Attach the developer subscription and then start using RHL 9
Let's deep dive into the actual steps. Open the web browser. From the Google, search RHL 9 download
Click on the first link developers.redhat.com. Click on download RHL at no cost
It will prompt you to fill in the Red Hat account details. If you don't have your Red Hat account, better first create it using the below link or using
this link. Click on next. Click on login. It will now automatically start downloading the ISO file
I am going to cancel this because I have already downloaded it on my system
Start the VirtualBox manager. From the machine, click on new
Specify the VM name here. RHL 9. When you type RHL, it will automatically pick the distribution type as Linux and version
is 64 bit. Click on next. Specify the VM's RAM
So I am giving it as 4 GB, 4096 MB. Processor, VCP is 2
Click on next. Hard disk is 40 GB
Click on next. Click on finish. If you want to assign networking to your virtual machine during the installation, then select
the VM. Click on settings. Go to the network tab. Under the adapter, first adapter, change this attached to bridge
It will interact with my wireless interface to get the IP. Click on OK
Now I will also boot this virtual machine using the downloaded ISO file
So again, go to the settings. Go to the storage. Click on this empty and then click on this CD icon
Choose a disk file. Select this RHL base ISO file
Click on OK. Now we are all set to start the virtual machine
Click on start. Choose the first option, install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1
Hit enter. Select the language
This language will be used during the installation. So make your preferred choice
Click on continue
To proceed further with the installation, we have to finish this marked item
Installation destination and the root user password. So click on the installation destination first
Before that, if you want to change the time zone, then you can change it from here
You want to disable the KDUMP, you can disable it from here
By default it is enabled. The installation source is our ISO local media
Installation system is not connected or not registered to the Red Hat
The software selection is by default server with GUI. If you want to change the base environment or the software selection, you can change it
So I am going with the first option, server with GUI. Click on done
Now click on installation destination. Here we have two options. Either installer will create partitions automatically on this 40 GB of disk or you want to create
the custom partitions by your own, then choose the second option custom
But in this demonstration, I am going with the automatic. So click on the select automatic, click on done
Set the root password
If you want to allow root login with password, then click on this option allow root SSH login
with password. Click on done. If you want to configure the IP and set the hostname for your system, click on network
and the hostname. As you can see, it has automatically picked the IP address
As DSCP was running in my environment, so it has picked the DSCP IP address
If the hostname is blank, you can set the hostname like RHEL9
Click on apply. Then click on done. Now we are all set to begin the installation
Click on begin installation
This confirms that the installation has started and is in progress. It will take 5 to 10 minutes depending upon your system performance or other system resources
Once the OS installation is completed, installer will prompt us to reboot the machine
Okay, this installation got completed. Click on reboot system. It will take a minute to boot up
Click on start setup. Click on next. If you want to configure online accounts, you can configure it right now
Else you can skip. So here, installer is prompting to enter the local user details
I am giving the local user details as linux techie. Click on next
Set the password for the user
Click on next. Click on start using reddit enterprise linux. Click on no thanks
So you will get a warning message. System is not registered. So let's register it
Click on the register system
Click on the subscription. Specify the reddit account details here
Click on register
Okay, registration is successful. Close the window. Now from the activities, search a terminal
Click on the terminal icon. Get the IP address of your RHL 9 machine
It's 217. Okay. Now, if you want to access this machine from the outside
So you can use putty. Start the putty. Specify the username as linux techie
Enter it. IP address of your RHL 9 machine. 217. Click on open
Provide your linux techie password. Now attach O2 address. Register using the subscription manager command. Sudo
Subscription manager. Install. Configure. Okay. Now, you can see that the system is not registered
So let's go to the system. Click on register. Click on register. Click on register
Click on register. Click on register. Click on register. Click on register
Click on register. Click on register. Click on register. Click on register. Okay
This confirms that the telnet package is installed via the registry
AppStream registry which is coming from the reddit. That's all from this video
