Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Rule Keyword and Rule Value Descriptions

The rule keywords and rule values that you can use in the rules file are listed and described below.

Rule Keyword and Rule Value Descriptions
any

minus sign (-)

Match always succeeds.

arch

processor_type

Matches a workstation's processor type. The uname -p command reports the workstation's processor type.

For example, SPARC is a platform; sparc is a processor_type.

domainname

domain_name

Matches a workstation's domain name, which controls how a name service determines information.

If you have a workstation already installed, the domainname(1M) command reports the workstation's domain name.

disksize

disk_name size_range

  • disk_name -- A disk name in the form cxtydz, such as c0t3d0, or the special word rootdisk. rootdisk should be used only when trying to match workstations that contain the factory-installed JumpStart software. rootdisk is described on Table 8-3.

  • size_range -- The size of the disk, which must be specified as a range of Mbytes (xx-xx).

Matches a workstation's disk (in Mbytes).

Example: disksize c0t3d0 250-300

The example tries to match a workstation with a c0t3d0 disk that is between 250 and 300 Mbytes.

Note -

When calculating size_range, remember that a Mbyte equals 1,048,576 bytes. A disk may be advertised as a "207 Mbyte" disk, but it may have less than 207 million bytes of disk space. The Trusted Solaris installation program will actually view the "207 Mbyte" disk as a 197 Mbyte disk because 207,000,000 / 1,048,576 = 197. So, a "207 Mbyte" disk would not match a size_range equal to 200-210.

hostaddress

IP_address

Matches a workstation's IP address.

hostname

host_name

Matches a workstation's host name.

If you have a workstation already installed, the uname -n command reports the host name.

installed

slice version

  • slice - A disk slice name in the form cwtxdysz, such as c0t3d0s5, or the special words any or rootdisk. If -any is used, any disk attached to the workstation attempts to match. rootdisk should be used only when trying to match workstations that contain the factory-installed JumpStart software.rootdisk is described on Table 8-3.

  • version - A version name, such as Trusted_Solaris_7, or the special word any. If any is used, any Trusted Solaris or SunOS release is matched.

Matches a disk that has a root file system corresponding to a particular version of Trusted Solaris software.

Note -

Factory-installed JumpStart may not be supported by Trusted Solaris software.

karch

platform_group

Matches a workstation's platform name.

Valid values are sun4d, sun4c, sun4m, and sun4u. (See Solaris 7 Sun Hardware Platform Guide.)

If you have a workstation already installed, the arch -k command or the uname -m command reports the workstation's platform group.

memsize

physical_mem

Matches a workstation's physical memory size (in Mbytes). The value must be a range of Mbytes (xx-xx) or a single Mbyte value.

Example: memsize 32-64

The example tries to match a workstation with a physical memory size between 32 and 64 Mbytes.

If you have a workstation already installed, the prtconf(1M) command reports the workstation's physical memory size in line 2. Run the command in the role admin.

model

model_name

Matches a workstation's model number, which is workstation-dependent and varies by the manufacturer. The list shown is not complete.

If you have a workstation already installed, the prtconf command reports the workstation's model number in line 5.

If you have a workstation already installed, the uname -i command reports the workstation's model name.

For example, a system name is different from a model_name:

System Name

Model Name

SPARCstation 1 (4/60)

Sun 4_60

SPARCstation IPX (4/50)

SUNW,Sun_4_50

SPARCstation 10

SUNW,SPARCstation-10

SPARCclassicTM (4/15)

SUNW,SPARCclassic

SPARCstation LX (4/30)

SUNW,SPARCstation-LX

SPARCserver 1000

SUNW,SPARCserver-1000

SPARCcenterTM 2000

SUNW,SPARCcenter-2000

SPARCstation 10 SX

SUNW,SPARCstation-10,SX

SPARCstation 20

SUNW,SPARCstation-20

SPARCstation Voyager

SUNW,S240

Sun UltraTM 1

SUNW,Ultra-1

Sun UltraServer 1

SUNW,Ultra-1

Sun UltraServer 2

SUNW,Ultra-2

Sun UltraEnterprise

SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

Note: If the model_name contains spaces, the model_name must be inside a pair of single quotes ('). For example: 'SUNW,Sun 4_60'

network

network_num

Matches a workstation's network number, which the Trusted Solaris installation program determines by performing a logical AND between the workstation's IP address and the subnet mask.

Example: network 193.144.2.0

The example would match a workstation with a 193.144.2.8 IP address (if the subnet mask were 255.255.255.0).

osname

Trusted_Solaris_version

Matches a version of Trusted Solaris software already installed on a workstation. Trusted_Solaris_version is the version of the Trusted Solaris environment installed on the workstation: for example, Trusted Solaris 2.5.1.

totaldisk

size_range

Matches the total disk space on a workstation (in Mbytes). The total disk space includes all the operational disks attached to a workstation. The value must be specified as a range of Mbytes (xx-xx).

Example: totaldisk 300-500

The example tries to match a workstation with a total disk space between 300 and 500 Mbytes.

Note -

When calculating size_range, remember that a Mbyte equals 1048576 bytes. A disk may be advertised as a "207 Mbyte" disk, but it may have only 207 million bytes of disk space. The Trusted Solaris installation program will actually view the "207 Mbyte" disk as a 197 Mbyte disk because 207000000 / 1048576 = 197. So, a "207 Mbyte" disk would not match a size_range equal to 200-210.
