How to Validate the rules File

1. Make sure that the check script resides in the JumpStart directory.

   ---

   Note -

   The check script is provided in the Solaris_2.6/Misc/jumpstart_sample directory on the Solaris CD.

   ---

2. Change the directory to the JumpStart directory.

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

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

   -p path	Validates the rules file by using the check script from a specified Solaris 2.6 CD image, instead of the check script from the system you are using. path is a Solaris installation image on a local disk or a mounted Solaris CD. Use this option to run the most recent version of check if your system is running a previous version of Solaris.
   -r file_name	Specifies a rules file other than the one named rules. Using this option, you can test the validity of a rule before integrating it into the rules file.

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