Verifying the ISO image on a Linux-based computer

About this task

Use this procedure to verify that the md5 checksum of the downloaded ISO image matches the md5 checksum that is displayed for the ISO image on the PLDS Web site.

Use this procedure if you downloaded ISO images to a Linux-based computer.

Procedure

  1. Enter md5sum filename, where filename is the name of the ISO image. Include the .iso file extension in the filename.
  2. Compare the md5 checksum of the ISO image to be used for installation with the md5 checksum that is displayed for the ISO image on the PLDS Web site.
  3. Ensure that both numbers are the same.
  4. If the numbers are different, download the ISO image again and reverify the md5 checksum.
