Rule Examples

The following illustration shows several example rules in a rules file. Each line has a rule keyword and a valid value for that keyword. The Trusted Solaris installation program scans the rules file from top to bottom. When the Trusted Solaris installation program matches a rule keyword and value with a known workstation, it installs the Trusted Solaris software specified by the profile listed in the profile field.

  # rule keywords and rule values  begin script  profile    finish script
  # -----------------------------  ------------  -------    -------------
  hostname eng-1                     -           basic_prof     -
  network 192.43.34.0 && !model \
  'SUNW,Sun 4_50'                    -           net_prof       -
  model SUNW,SPARCstation-LX         -           lx_prof    complete
  network 193.144.2.0 && karch sparc  setup      ultra_prof done
  any  -                             -           generic_prof   -

1. This rule matches if the workstation's host name is eng-1. The basic_prof profile is used to install the Trusted Solaris software on the workstation that matches this rule.

2. The rule matches if the workstation is on subnet 192.43.34.0 and it is not a SPARCstation IPX^TM(SUNW,Sun 4_50). The net_prof profile is used to install the Trusted Solaris software on workstations that match this rule.

3. The rule matches if the workstation is a SPARCstation LX. The lx_prof profile and the complete finish script are used to install the Trusted Solaris software on workstations that match this rule. This rule also provides an example of rule wrap, which is defined on "Important Information About the rules File".

4. This rule matches if the workstation is on subnet 193.144.2.0 and the workstation is a Sun Ultra. The setup begin script, the ultra_prof profile, and the done finish script are used to install the Trusted Solaris software on workstations that match this rule.

5. This rule matches any workstation that did not match the previous rules. The generic_prof profile is used to install the Trusted Solaris software on workstations that match this rule. If used, -any should always be in the last rule.
