Probe Keywords and Values

Table 20–1 describes each rule keyword and its equivalent probe keyword.

Note –

Always place probe keywords at or near the beginning of the rules file.

Table 20–1 Descriptions of Probe Keywords


Rule Keyword	Equivalent Probe Keyword	Description of Probe Keyword
`any`	None
`arch`	`arch`	Determines the kernel architecture (i386 or SPARC) and sets `SI_ARCH`.
`disksize`	`disks`	Returns the size of a system's disks (in Mbytes) in kernel probe order (c0t3d0s0, c0t3d0s1, c0t4d0s0) and sets `SI_DISKLIST`, `SI_DISKSIZES`, `SI_NUMDISKS`, and `SI_TOTALDISK`.
`domainname`	`domainname`	Returns a system's NIS or NIS+ domain name or (if none) blank and sets `SI_DOMAINNAME` (this keyword actually returns the output of domainname(1M)).
`hostaddress`	`hostaddress`	Returns a system's IP address (the first address listed in the output of ifconfig(1M) `-a` that is not lo0) and sets `SI_HOSTADDRESS`.
`hostname`	`hostname`	Returns a system's host name (output from uname(1) `-n`) and sets `SI_HOSTNAME`.
`installed`	`installed`	Returns the version name, `Solaris_2.x` or `Solaris_x`, of the Solaris operating environment that is installed on a system and sets `SI_ROOTDISK` and `SI_INSTALLED`. If JumpStart finds a Solaris release but is unable to determine the version, the version returned is `SystemV`.
`karch`	`karch`	Returns a system's platform group (i86pc, sun4m, and sun4u, for example) and sets `SI_KARCH`. Chapter 31, Platform Names and Groups contains a list of platform names.
`memsize`	`memsize`	Returns the size of physical memory on a system (in Mbytes) and sets SI_MEMSIZE.
`model`	`model`	Returns a system's platform name and sets `SI_MODEL`. Chapter 31, Platform Names and Groups contains a list of platform names.
`network`	`network`	Returns a system's network number, which JumpStart determines by performing a logical AND between the system's IP address and the subnet mask (which are extracted from the first address listed in the output of ifconfig(1M) `-a` that is not lo0); also sets `SI_NETWORK`.
`osname`	`osname`	Returns the version and operating system name, `Solaris_2.x` or `Solaris_x`, of the Solaris operating environment that is found on a CD and sets `SI_OSNAME`. If JumpStart finds a Solaris release but is unable to determine the version, the version returned is `SystemV`.
	`rootdisk`	Returns the name and size (in Mbytes) of a system's root disk and sets `SI_ROOTDISK`.
`totaldisk`	`totaldisk`	Returns the total disk space on a system (in Mbytes) and sets `SI_TOTALDISK`. The total disk space includes all the operational disks attached to a system.
