The following table provides a high-level overview of the naming service databases that you need to edit and populate to preconfigure system information.
|
You cannot preconfigure the locale for a system with the DNS or LDAP name service. If you use the NIS or NIS+ name service, follow the procedure below to use your naming service to preconfigure the locale for a system.
Note - In order to successfully preconfigure your system locale by using NIS or NIS+, the following requirements must be met:
You must boot the system from the network by using the following command:
ok boot net
You can use options with this command. See details in Step 2 of theSPARC: To Install the Client Over the Network (DVD) procedure.
The NIS or NIS+ server must be available to access during the installation.
If these requirements are fulfilled, the installer uses the preconfigured settings and does not prompt for the locale during the installation. If either requirement is not fulfilled, the installer prompts for your locale information during the installation.
Note - Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

For example, the following entry specifies that French is the default language that is used in the example.com domain:
fr example.com
The following example specifies that Belgian French is the default locale that is used by a system named myhost:
fr_BE myhost
Note - Locales are available on the Oracle Solaris DVD or Oracle Solaris Software - 1 CD.
# cd /var/yp; make
Systems that are specified by domain or individually in the locale map are now set up to use the default locale. The default locale that you specified is used during installation and by the desktop after the system is rebooted.
If you plan to use the NIS name service in an installation over the network, you need to set up an installation server and add the system as an installation client. For more information, see Chapter 4, Installing From the Network (Overview).
If you plan to use the NIS name service in a custom JumpStart installation, you need to create a profile and a rules.ok file. For more information, see Chapter 2, Custom JumpStart (Overview), in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations.

For more information about the NIS name service, see Part III, NIS Setup and Administration, in System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
The following procedure assumes the NIS+ domain is set up. Setting up the NIS+ domain is documented in the System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
# nistbladm -D access=og=rmcd,nw=r -c locale_tbl name=SI,nogw= locale=,nogw= comment=,nogw= locale.org_dir.`nisdefaults -d`
# nistbladm -a name=namelocale=locale comment=comment locale.org_dir.`nisdefaults -d`
Either the domain name or a specific system name for which you want to preconfigure a default locale.
The locale you want to install on the system and use on the desktop after the system is rebooted. International Language Environments Guide contains a list of valid locales.
The comment field. Use double quotation marks to begin and end comments that are longer than one word.
Systems that are specified by domain or individually in the locale table are now set up to use the default locale. The default locale you specified is used during installation and by the desktop after the system is rebooted.
If you plan to use the NIS+ name service in an installation over the network, you need to set up an installation server and add the system as an installation client. For more information, see Chapter 4, Installing From the Network (Overview).
