Sample sysidcfg file

Optional Specifies additional domains to search for naming service information. You can specify up to six domain names to search. The total length of each search entry cannot exceed characters. The following example specifies a DNS server with the domain name west. The server IP addresses are Optional Specifies the proxy bind distinguished name.

The installation program uses the LDAP profile that is named default to configure the system. The proxy domain includes the west , example , and com domain components. For example:. Instructs the installation program to configure the first up, non-loopback interface that is found on the system.

The order is the same as the order that is displayed with the ifconfig command. If no interfaces are up, then the first non-loopback interface is used. If no non-loopback interfaces are found, then the system is nonnetworked. Instructs the installation program to configure a specific interface, such as hme0 or eri1.

Instructs the installation program to configure the system to use either IPv6 or to not use IPv6. To instruct the installation program to configure a single interface on the system without using DHCP, use the following syntax. If no non-loopback interfaces are found, then the system is not networked.

Optional Specifies the IP address of the default router. If you want the installation program to detect the router by using the ICMP router discovery protocol, omit this keyword. Note - If the installation program cannot detect the router, you are prompted for the router information during the installation. Optional Instructs the installation program to configure the system to either use IPv6 or to not use IPv6. The following example instructs the installation program to use DHCP to configure the eri0 network interface.

IPv6 support is not enabled. You can configure multiple network interfaces in your sysidcfg file. Instructs the installation program to configure the system to either use IPv6 or to not use IPv6. To instruct the installation program to configure multiple interfaces without using DHCP, use the following syntax. In the same sysidcfg file, you can use DHCP to configure certain interfaces, while also specifying the configuration information for other interfaces in the sysidcfg file.

In the following example, the network interfaces eri0 and eri1 are configured in the following way. IPv6 support is not enabled on eri0. The host name is set to host1, and the IP address is set to The netmask is set to IPv6 support is not enabled on eri1. This keyword suppresses selection of a domain name during the installation process.

Use the following syntax:. This reserved keyword dynamically derives the NFSv4 domain name, based on naming services configuration. Note - By default, NFSv4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the system's naming services. This domain name is sufficient for most configurations. To prevent this situation, you can override the default domain name and select a custom domain name.

This value must be a valid custom domain name. A valid domain name is composed of a combination of alphanumeric characters, dots, underscores, and dashes only. The first character must be an alphabetical character.

This example sets the value that is used by the nfsmapid daemon to be example. This selection overrides the default domain name. Note - In previous releases, scripts enabled users to avoid being prompted for the NFSv4 domain name during installation.

This script is no longer required. This file would suppress the prompt for an NFSv4 domain name during installation. This file is no longer created. You can specify the root password to the system in the sysidcfg file. If you want to configure the system to use Kerberos, use the following syntax. FQDN specifies the fully qualified domain name of the Kerberos default realm, the administration server, or key distribution center KDC. You must specify at least one, but no more than three, key distribution centers.

For more information about the Kerberos network authentication protocol, see System Administration Guide: Security Services. This security option is available only for initial installations.

An upgrade maintains all previously set services. After installation, any individual network service can be enabled by using the svcadm and svccfg commands. The network services can be enabled after installation by using the netservices open command or by enabling individual services by using SMF commands. See also the following man pages. Use the following syntax to specify a locale.

You can use the terminal keyword to specify the terminal type for the system. Converting Rules and Profile Files 3. Using js2ai to Convert sysidcfg Files to System Configuration Profiles Use the js2ai utility with the -s option to convert any sysidcfg files that are associated with this JumpStart configuration to system configuration profile files. Correct any process errors. Remove any lines from the sysidcfg file that are listed as unsupported items.

Examine any warning messages and make sure no corrections are necessary. Example sysidcfg Conversion Using js2ai This section shows using js2ai to convert a sysidcfg file to an AI system configuration profile file.

One or more failures occurred. For errors see js2ai. The options specified will be ignored. If you wish to configure the interface with the specified options replace PRIMARY with the name of the interface that should be configured.

Equivalent System Configuration Profile File The following modified sysidcfg file addresses the error reported in the js2ai. All rights reserved. Legal Notices. This file would suppress the prompt for an NFSv4 domain name during installation. This file is no longer created. You can specify the root password to the system in the sysidcfg file. If you want to configure the system to use Kerberos, use the following syntax. FQDN specifies the fully qualified domain name of the Kerberos default realm, the administration server, or key distribution center KDC.

You must specify at least one, but no more than three, key distribution centers. For more information about the Kerberos network authentication protocol, see System Administration Guide: Security Services.

This security option is available only for initial installations. An upgrade maintains all previously set services. After installation, any individual network service can be enabled by using the svcadm and svccfg commands. The network services can be enabled after installation by using the netservices open command or by enabling individual services by using SMF commands. See also the following man pages. Use the following syntax to specify a locale.

You can use the terminal keyword to specify the terminal type for the system. Use the following syntax to specify the terminal type. You can set the time zone for the system with the timezone keyword. Use the following syntax.

In the previous example, timezone specifies the time zone value for the system. You can also specify any valid Olson time zone. In the following example, the system time zone is set to mountain standard time in the United States. You can use the timeserver keyword to specify the system that sets the date and time on the system you want to install. If you specify localhost as the time server, the system's time is assumed to be correct. To specify another system as the time server, specify either the host name or the IP address of the time server with the timeserver keyword.

Preconfiguring With the sysidcfg File You can specify a set of keywords in the sysidcfg file to preconfigure a system. You can place the sysidcfg file in one of the following. To Create a sysidcfg Configuration File Create a file called sysidcfg in a text editor with the keywords you want. See Also For more information about the sysidcfg file, see the man page sysidcfg 4. Syntax Rules for the sysidcfg File You can use two types of keywords in the sysidcfg file: independent and dependent.

The following procedure occurs: If the keyboard is self-identifying, the keyboard language and layout automatically configures during installation. For further information, see the sysidcfg 4 and sysidtool 1M man pages.

The domain name is west. The proxy bind distinguished name includes the following information. The common name for the entry is proxyagent. The organizational unit is profile. The proxy password is password.

Note — If the installation program cannot detect the router, you are prompted for the router information during the installation. The host name is set to host1. The IP address is set to IPv6 support is not enabled on the interface. The reserved keyword, dynamic , is not case sensitive. Note — By default, NFSv4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the system's naming services.

Note — In previous releases, scripts enabled users to avoid being prompted for the NFSv4 domain name during installation. The Kerberos default realm is example. The Kerberos administration server is krbadmin. The two key distribution centers are kdc1.

Use one of the following syntaxes to set this keyword. Example 2—12 Configuring the System Time Zone With the timezone Keyword In the following example, the system time zone is set to mountain standard time in the United States. Choose one of the following methods to set the timeserver keyword.
