Installations via PXE Servers
Kickstart files you use to perform an unattended installation of Virtuozzo Server 7 and Storage over a network contain a cluster authentication password in plain text. Attackers may intercept the password and gain access to your cluster. To secure your system, do one of the following:
- Physically isolate the network where the PXE server is located from all other (potentially insecure) networks.
- Install Virtuozzo Server 7 via the PXE server but do not set up a Storage cluster. Once the installation is complete, manually deploy the cluster in your network using the Storage password-based authentication mechanism.
