Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide

To Validate the custom_probes File

  1. Make sure the check script is located in the JumpStart directory.


    Note -

    The check script is in the Solaris_8/Misc/jumpstart_sample directory on the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition and Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition CD.


  2. Change to the JumpStart directory.

  3. Run the check script to validate the rules and custom_probes files.


    $ ./check [[-p path -r file_name]]

    As the check script runs, it reports the validity of the rules and custom_probes files and each profile. If no errors are encountered, it reports: "The custom JumpStart configuration is ok" and creates the rules.ok and custom_probes.ok files in the JumpStart directory.

  4. Is the custom_probes.ok file executable?

    • If yes, stop, you're done.

    • If no, type the command:

      chmod +x custom_probes
