System Administration Guide, Volume 3

Writing a Script That Uses dhtadm to Create Options and Macros

You can create a Korn shell script by adapting the example below to create all the options listed in Table 11-11 and some useful macros. Be sure to change all IP addresses and values contained in quotes to the correct IP addresses, server names, and paths for your network. You should also edit the Vendor= key to indicate the class of clients you have. Use the information reported by add_install_client -d to obtain the data needed to adapt the script.

Example 11-1 Sample Script for Adding Options and Macros to Support Network Installation


# Load the Solaris vendor specific options. We'll start out supporting 
# the Ultra-1, Ultra-30, and i86 platforms. Changing -A to -M would replace
# the current values, rather than add them.

Execute the script as superuser to add the options and macros to your dhcptab. When you have done this, network client classes that are listed in the Vendor= string can install from the network using DHCP.
