Reinstalling RiskVision from a USB Drive : Step 2a: Create the USB installer on Linux
Step 2a: Create the USB installer on Linux
Recovery USB | TRITON RiskVision | 06-June-2016
To use a Linux machine to create the RiskVision USB installer:
1.
Log in to the Linux machine as a super user and enter the following command:
tail –f /var/log/messages
2.
Insert a USB flash drive into an open USB port.
The log displayed at the terminal displays the device node name assigned to the USB drive. In most cases, the USB drive is assigned the node name of sdb or sdc. After taking note of the last letter in the node name (ether b or c), type Ctrl-C to exit the log message.
3.
To make sure the USB device is functioning properly and has the correct partitions, enter the following command:
fdisk –l /dev/sd<x>
Here, <x> is the letter you noted in the log message.
4.
To unmount all partitions on the USB drive, enter the following command:
umount /dev/sd<x>1
Again, <x> is the letter you noted in the log message.
5.
Navigate to the directory that contains the downloaded .img file, then enter the following command:
dd if=<image_file_name> of=/dev/sd<x> bs=1M
The process of copying files to the USB drive takes several minutes. When the operation completes, you receive a confirmation message with statistics about the number of bytes copied to the USB drive.
Your USB installer is now ready for use. Continue with Step 3: Reinstall TRITON RiskVision from a USB drive.
