Supported JumpStart Disk Configuration Profiles

You can use JumpStart to configure your AutoClient disk(s); the syntax used to configure the disk is the same as standard JumpStart profiles, except that only the disk related keywords are allowed.

The system_type is specified as cacheos. The new profiles are placed in /opt/SUNWadmd/etc/autoinstall/arch and the tools copy the selected profile to the client root when the client is created.

The basic 1disk profile is:

install_type initial_install
system_type cacheos

In this case, all the disk configuration settings are set to the defaults.

You can use the usedisk and dontuse keywords to force the disk configuration to use a specific set of disks on the machine. You can use the filesys keyword to partition the disks the way you want. The following sample profile is more complex:

install_type initial_install
system_type cacheos
partitioning explicit
filesys c0t3d0s7 existing /.cache
filesys c0t3d0s0 existing /local preserve
filesys   red:/opt 128.227.192.97 /opt rw,intr,hard,bg,noac
filesys   red:/var/mail 128.227.192.97 /var/mailrw,intr,hard,bg,noac
filesys   red:/export/calendar/visi7 128.227.192.97 /var/spool/calendar
          rw,hard,bg,intr,noac

The following list provides the keywords supported in the AutoClient profiles:

• install_type

• system_type

• fdisk

• partitioning

• filesys

• usedisk

• dontuse
