Here we will install centos 6. Redhat installation will be similar to centos Below are few steps. Step1: Open VMplayer and configure necessary settings (CPU,RAM, Disk etc) Step2: Installation of OS. Run the VM Step3: Once installation completes reboot the VM Step4: After system comes up check the IP address. Currenlty there no IP address assigned. We will check the config. IP adress is 192.168.111.128 - This is dynamic IP which means in next reboot server may have different IP. Step5: Create a static IP address for the server. We should know the gateway IP of the server and add it in eth0 config. Gateway IP is 192.168.111.2 Step6: We will reboot and check if IP address is same IP address is same. Step7: Now you can use this IP to connect the virtual machine from putty (Host Machine) Step8: Thats All. Hope you liked this. Thanks
