Put the image somewhere the target CentOS system can see it (e.g., the Windows machine), & use the image file there. The second solution, which is a little more difficult, is to use your KVM access to implement suggestion. If you have only a 1Mb connection to this machine, it will take a while to transfer the install data to the target. The drawback with this solution is, of course, bandwidth latency. Because one thinks KVM as only a remote tool to access the monitor, keyboard & mouse, the fact it also supports the USB protocol is easily overlooked. (Read the Fine Manual to determine this.) I know one of the products I have used over the years, which is manufactured by Raritan, supports this. The first - & easiest - is to determine if your KVM setup supports mounting a USB or DVD remotely. Since you have KVM access to the machine, you have two fairly straightforward solutions. In that case (or in any case), how can I start the installation from the CentOS machine (without using any bootable media like USB)? Is it possible to mount a CentOS 7 ISO image in my Windows machine, and access that mounted ISO for installation in CentOS? I thought I can use it as NFS source for installation.
