To Validate the rules File

1. Ensure that the check script is located in the JumpStart directory.

   ---

   Note -

   The check script is in the Solaris_9/Misc/jumpstart_sample directory on the Solaris 9 DVD or on the Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2 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 by using the check script from the Solaris 9 software image instead of the check script from the system you are using. path is the image on a local disk or a mounted Solaris 9 DVD or a Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2 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 that is named rules. Using this option, you can test the validity of a rule before you integrate the rule into the rules file.

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

4. Ensure that root owns the rules.ok file and that the permissions are set to 644.

After you validate the rules file, you can learn more about optional custom JumpStart features in Chapter 24, Using Optional Custom JumpStart Features (Tasks). You can learn about performing custom JumpStart installations in Chapter 26, Performing a Custom JumpStart Installation (Tasks).
