How to Validate the rules File

The check script is in the Solaris_Solaris_version/Misc/jumpstart_sample directory on the Solaris Software DVD or the Solaris Software 1 – CD.

1. Ensure that the check script is located in the JumpStart directory.

   Note –

   The check script is in the Solaris_Solaris_version/Misc/jumpstart_sample directory on the Solaris 10 Software DVD or on the Solaris Software - 1 CD.

2. Change to the JumpStart directory.

3. Run the check script to validate the rules file.

   $ ./check -p path -r filename

   -p path

   Validates the rules by using the check script from the Solaris 10 software image instead of the check script from the system you are using. path is the image on a local disk or a mounted on the Solaris DVD or a Solaris Software - 1 CD.

   Use this option to run the most recent version of check if your system is running a previous version of Solaris.

   -r filename

   Specifies a rules file other than the file that is named rules. Using this option, you can test the validity of a rule before you integrate the rule into the rules file.

   As the check script runs, the script reports on the validity of the rules file and each profile. If no errors are reported, the script generates the following:

   The custom JumpStart configuration is ok

4. Ensure that root owns the rules.ok file and that the permissions are set to 644.
