Sun Management Center Change Manager 1.0 Administration Guide

Parameters Used by Shared Profiles and Host Properties

The parameters that you can set to configure managed hosts are as follows:

Managed Host Parameters

The following parameters are used by managed hosts (host properties) only. These parameters specify information about a single managed host.

base_config_templateName

Name of a shared profile associated with this managed host.

This parameter can only be specified by host properties.

base_config_target_ether_addr

Ethernet (MAC) address of this managed host.

This parameter can only be specified by host properties.

base_config_sysidcfg_hostname

A fully qualified name of the managed host.

base_config_sysidcfg_ipaddr

IP address of the managed host. This read-only parameter's value is set in the naming service.

Archive Parameters

The following parameters specify information about the particular Solaris Flash archive.

base_config_flar_archive: Name of the archive to be used. The name is a path relative to the top of the Change Manager repository.
parameter_name=value: Parameters that are defined by the archive itself. These parameters names are not prefixed with base_config_. These parameters are made available to the finish scripts that run on the managed host.

Sysid Parameters

The following parameters specify sysid information for the managed host.

base_config_target_arch

Platform architecture of the managed host. Run the uname -m command to obtain this information.

This parameter can be set either in the host properties or in the shared profile.

base_config_sysidcfg_rootpw

Encrypted superuser password for the managed host. You can obtain the encrypted password from the /etc/shadow file.

base_config_sysidcfg_nameservice

One of the following values: NIS, NIS+, DNS, LDAP, or NONE.

The default value is NONE.

The required parameters depend on the value of base_config_sysidcfg_nameservice as follows:

NONE - No other parameters are required.
NIS or NIS+ - You must specify values for the base_config_sysidcfg_nameserver and base_config_sysidcfg_domainname parameters.
DNS - You must specify values for the base_config_sysidcfg_nameserver, base_config_sysidcfg_domainname, base_config_sysidcfg_dnsservers, and base_config_sysidcfg_searchdomains parameters.
LDAP - You must specify values for the base_config_sysidcfg_domainname, base_config_sysidcfg_ldap_profile, and base_config_sysidcfg_ldap_server parameters.

base_config_sysidcfg_nameserver

If the value of base_config_sysidcfg_nameservice is NIS or NIS+, then the value of this parameter is the fully qualified name server name. If no value is set, then the naming service looks for a name server.
If the value of base_config_sysidcfg_nameservice is DNS, then this parameter's value is a comma-separated list of fully qualified DNS server names.

base_config_sysidcfg_domainname

A fully qualified DNS, LDAP, NIS+, or NIS domain name.

base_config_sysidcfg_dnsservers

If base_config_sysidcfg_nameservice is DNS, then the value of this parameter must list at least one DNS server. DNS server names are separated by commas.

base_config_sysidcfg_searchdomains

If base_config_sysidcfg_nameservice is DNS, then the value of this parameter must list DNS search domains. DNS search domains are separated by commas.

base_config_sysidcfg_ldap_profile

Name of the LDAP profile.

base_config_sysidcfg_ldap_server

IP address of the LDAP server that contains the LDAP profile.

base_config_sysidcfg_networkinterface

The network interface to be used. Choose one of the following values: PRIMARY or value.

The default value is PRIMARY.

PRIMARY - Use the first-up, non-loopback interface that is found on the system. The order is the same as with ifconfig. If no interfaces are up, then the first non-loopback interface is used. If no non-loopback interfaces are found, then the system is set to NON-NETWORKED.
value - Specifies the particular interface by name. For example, value can be le0 or hme0.

base_config_sysidcfg_netmask

The default value is 255.255.255.0.

base_config_sysidcfg_ipv6

The value is either yes or no. If yes, IPv6 is to be used.

The default value is no.

base_config_sysidcfg_defaultroute

You must set this parameter to the IP address, none, auto, or findone.

IP address - Specify the IP address of the default router.
none - Specify no default router. This keyword is supported starting with the Solaris 9 release.
auto or findone - Attempt to find a default router that broadcasts itself.

The default value is none.

base_config_sysidcfg_systemlocale

Specify the locale to use on the managed host. See the subdirectories in /usr/lib/locale for valid locale values.

The default value is C.

base_config_sysidcfg_terminal

Specify the terminal type to use on the managed host. See the subdirectories in /usr/share/lib/terminfo for valid terminal values.

The default value is vt100.

base_config_sysidcfg_timezone

Specify the time zone to use for the managed host. See the directories and files in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo for valid time zone values. The time zone value is the name of the path relative to the /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo directory. For example, the time zone value for mountain standard time in the United States is US/Mountain. The time zone value for Japan is Japan. You can also specify any valid Olson time zone.

base_config_sysidcfg_timeserver

Optionally set a time server, which defaults to localhost. If you specify localhost as the time server, the system's time is assumed to be correct. To specify a time server when you are not running a naming service, specify the fully qualified host name or IP address of the system.

The default value is localhost.

base_config_sysidcfg_security_policy

Determine which security policy to use. Set to none, the default, if there no security policy. Set to kerberos to use Kerberos security.

If you use Kerberos security, you must specify values for the following parameters:

base_config_sysidcfg_default_realm
base_config_sysidcfg_admin_server
base_config_sysidcfg_kdc

base_config_sysidcfg_default_realm: If the value for base_config_sysidcfg_security_policy is kerberos, specify the Kerberos default realm. The default realm must be a fully qualified domain name.
base_config_sysidcfg_admin_server: If the value for base_config_sysidcfg_security_policy is kerberos, specify the Kerberos admin server. The admin server must be a fully qualified domain name.
base_config_sysidcfg_kdc: If the value for base_config_sysidcfg_security_policy is kerberos, specify a comma-separated list of fully qualified Kerberos key distribution center host names. The list must contain at least one key distribution center.

Disk Layout Parameters

The following parameters specify how to lay out the disks of the managed host. The parameters that describe the device names and slice sizes must be specified in filesys keyword format for custom JumpStart. For information about the filesys custom JumpStart keyword, see "Custom JumpStart (Reference)" in Solaris 9 Installation Guide.

Note -

The value for size can only be num, in Mbytes, or slice:size, in cylinders, for Solaris Flash installations.
