Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations

Probe Keywords and Values

Table 11–11 describes each rule keyword and its equivalent probe keyword.

Note –

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

Table 11–11 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 Mbytes 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 Solaris OS that is installed on a system and sets `SI_ROOTDISK` and `SI_INSTALLED`. If the JumpStart program finds a 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 Solaris Sun Hardware Platform Guide at `http://docs.sun.com`.
`memsize`	`memsize`	Returns the size of physical memory on a system in Mbytes and sets `SI_MEMSIZE`.
`model`	`model`	Returns a system's platform name and sets `SI_MODEL`. For a list of platform names, see the Solaris Sun Hardware Platform Guide at `http://docs.sun.com`.
`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 Solaris OS that is found on a CD and sets `SI_OSNAME`. If the JumpStart program finds a Solaris release but is unable to determine the version, the version that is returned is `SystemV`.
	`rootdisk`	Returns the name and size in Mbytes of a system's root disk and sets `SI_ROOTDISK`.
`totaldisk`	`totaldisk`	Returns the total disk space on a system (in Mbytes) and sets `SI_TOTALDISK`. The total disk space includes all of the operational disks that are attached to a system.
