Archive Stored on an HTTP or HTTPS Server
If the archive is stored on an HTTP server, use the following syntax
for the archive_location keyword.
archive_location http://server_name:port/path/filename optional_keywords
|
If the archive is stored on an HTTPS server, use the following syntax
for the archive_location keyword.
archive_location https://server_name:port/path/filename optional_keywords
|
-
server_name
-
The name of the server where you stored the archive.
-
port
-
An optional port. port can be a
port number or the name of a TCP service that has a port number that is determined
at runtime.
If you do not specify a port, the Solaris Flash installation utilities
use the default HTTP port number, 80.
-
path
-
The location of the archive to be retrieved from the specified
server. If the path contains $HOST, the Solaris Flash installation utilities
replace $HOST with the name of the clone system that you are installing.
-
filename
-
The name of the Solaris Flash archive file.
-
optional_keywords
-
The optional keywords that you can specify when you retrieve
a Solaris Flash archive from an HTTP server.

Keyword

Value Definition
|
|
auth basic user_name password
|
If the archive is located on an HTTP server that is password protected,
you must include the user name and password that you need to access the HTTP
server in the profile file.
Note –
The use of this authentication method in a profile that is intended
for use with custom JumpStart is risky. Unauthorized users might have access
to the profile file that contains the password.
|
|
timeout min
|
The timeout keyword enables you to specify, in minutes,
the maximum length of time that is allowed to pass without receipt of data
from the HTTP server. If a timeout occurs, the connection is closed, reopened,
and resumed. If you specify a timeout value of 0 (zero),
the connection is not reopened.
-
If a timeout reconnection occurs, the Solaris Flash installation
utilities attempt to resume the installation at the last known position in
the archive. If the Solaris Flash installation utilities cannot resume
the installation at the last known position, the retrieval restarts from the
beginning of the archive and the data that was retrieved prior to the timeout
is discarded.
-
If a timeout reconnection occurs while a package is being
installed, the package is retried from the beginning of the package and the
data that was retrieved prior to the timeout is discarded.
|
|
proxy host:port
|
The proxy keyword enables you to specify a proxy
host and proxy port. You can use a proxy host to retrieve a Solaris Flash archive
from the other side of a firewall. You must supply a proxy port when you
specify the proxy keyword.
