Installation
Harvester can be installed using the ISO image, a bootable USB drive, and PXE boot. A net install ISO image, which contains only the core OS components, is also now available. For more information, see the Installation section of the documentation.
Important
The Harvester v1.6.0 installer checks if the hardware meets the minimum requirements for production use. If any of the checks fail, installation is stopped and warnings are printed to the system console.
You can disable this behavior during iPXE installation (for testing purposes) by adding the kernel parameter harvester.install.skipchecks=true
when you boot the system. For more information, see Useful Kernel Parameters.
Upgrades
Harvester only allows upgrades from supported versions. For more information about upgrade paths and procedures, see Upgrading Harvester.
