Probe Keywords and Values

Table 8-10 describes each rule keyword and its equivalent probe keyword.


Note - Always place probe keywords at or near the beginning of the rules file.


Table 8-10 Descriptions of Probe Keywords

Rule Keyword
Equivalent Probe Keyword
Description of Probe Keyword
any
None
arch
arch
Determines the kernel architecture, i386 or SPARC, and sets SI_ARCH.
disksize
disks
Returns the size of a system's disks in MB in kernel probe order, c0t3d0s0, c0t3d0s1, c0t4d0s0. disksize sets SI_DISKLIST, SI_DISKSIZES, SI_NUMDISKS, and SI_TOTALDISK.
domainname
domainname
Returns a system's NIS or NIS+ domain name or blank and sets SI_DOMAINNAME. The domainname keyword returns the output of domainname(1M).
hostaddress
hostaddress
Returns a system's IP address, the first address that is listed in the output of ifconfig(1M) -a that is not lo0, and sets SI_HOSTADDRESS.
hostname
hostname
Returns a system's host name that is the output from uname(1) -n and sets SI_HOSTNAME.
installed
installed
Returns the version name of the Oracle Solaris OS that is installed on a system and sets SI_ROOTDISK and SI_INSTALLED.

If the JumpStart program finds a Oracle Solaris release but is unable to determine the version, the version that is returned is SystemV.

karch
karch
Returns a system's platform group, for example i86pc or sun4u, and sets SI_KARCH. For a list of platform names, see Oracle Solaris Sun Hardware Platform Guide at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html.
memsize
memsize
Returns the size of physical memory on a system in MB and sets SI_MEMSIZE.
model
model
Returns a system's platform name and sets SI_MODEL. For a list of platform names, see the Oracle Solaris Sun Hardware Platform Guide at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html.
network
network
Returns a system's network number, which the JumpStart program determines by performing a logical AND between the system's IP address and the subnet mask. The system's IP address and the subnet mask are extracted from the first address that is listed in the output of ifconfig(1M) -a that is not lo0. The network keyword sets SI_NETWORK.
osname
osname
Returns the version and operating system name of the Oracle Solaris OS that is found on a CD and sets SI_OSNAME.

If the JumpStart program finds a Oracle Solaris release but is unable to determine the version, the version that is returned is SystemV.

 
rootdisk
Returns the name and size in MB of a system's root disk and sets SI_ROOTDISK.
totaldisk
totaldisk
Returns the total disk space on a system (in MB) and sets SI_TOTALDISK. The total disk space includes all of the operational disks that are attached to a system.
