How To Create a rules File

1. Use a text editor to create a text file that is named rules. Or, open the sample rules file in the JumpStart directory that you created.

2. Add a rule in the rules file for each group of systems on which you want to install the Solaris software.

   For an example of some rules file keywords and values, see rules File Example. For a complete list of the rules file keywords and values, see Rule Keywords and Values in Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations.

3. Save the rules file in the JumpStart directory.

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