RHEL 6 OS Installation steps

I). Note down the CPU, RAM and hard disk capacity of source system

II). find out the mount points(file systems) of source system along with file system type(ext3,
ext4 etc..) with mount command.
#mount
III). find out the sizes of mount points using df command.
Examples:
1) To find the size of all file system in GB.
#df -h
2) To find the list of all file systems along with their sizes in GB their file system types
such as ext3, ext4
etcc.
#df -hT
3) To find the size of a particular file system
#df -h <any file system>
Ex: #df -h /home

Note-1: steps(II) & (III) can be achieved using example -2 of step(III) .

Note-2: Note down the space between df and in the above examples.

IV). Find out the swap size of source system.

#free
In the above free command, look for entry swap. total =used+free.
Here total is the size of swap.

OR
#grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

V). Install the OS. During the installation of OS, create mount points(file systems) along with
sizes obtained from step(III) example-2 and enable LVM.

VI). Check the above steps(II),(III)& (IV) on installed system. If the values of steps(II),(III)& (IV)
on both systems are identical, installation finished successfully.

VII). Increase swap size, if required.

VIII). Restart the system and hand over the system to load application software such as DCS.
