Customizing Host Files

A host file affects the installation and provisioning of one system. To ensure consistency, copy your customized files to every relevant /MAC-address/ directory.

The kickstart host file is the BMI name for the file created with either Kickstart or YaST. In the kickstart file there is a post section containing data that leads the installation of the Sun Update Connection – Enterprise agent and notifies the BMI server of successful provisioning. The post-install section must be copied exactly into all your customized files.
