Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide

To Validate the rules File

  1. Make sure that 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, or the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition CD.


  2. Change directory to the JumpStart directory.

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


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

    As the check script runs, it reports the checking of the validity of the rules file and each profile. If no errors are encountered, it reports: The custom JumpStart configuration is ok.

Once you've validated the rules file, you can learn more about optional custom JumpStart features in Chapter 7, Using Optional Custom JumpStart Features and about performing custom JumpStart installations in Chapter 10, Performing a Custom JumpStart Installation.
