Hi, Folks. I asked, originally, > what file is it looking for? > does my rules file do what it looks like it does? > what are the keys for > subnet mask? > router ip address? > nameserver ip(s)? > can i make it go 100% automatic and just not care about terminal type > and stuff, or do i have to watch that? The answers to these questions, fielded by Dave Dunaway, Max Trummer, Darren Dunham, Chris Pinnock, Sean Quaint, Brooke King, Casper Dik, and Steve Camp, were thus: It is looking for 'rules.ok' in the root of the directory you are specifying with the -c flag to add_install_client. The rules file was correct. The client profile was also correct. The subnet mask, router ip address, and nameserver ip's are set within the network_interface directive in the sysidcfg. Darren and others pointed out that the sysidcfg parameter to add_install_client actually points to the *directory* sysidcfg lives in. It seems that in fact it can be made almost 100% automatic. At present, I have it only asking me whether the time is correct and to hit esc-2 to let it know I understand I won't be able to use the keyboard. Sigh. The command issued to make it work properly was thus: [minotaur:/mnt/jumpstart_sol9] alex% sudo ./Solaris_9/Tools/add_install_client -c minotaur-i:/mnt/jumpstart_sol9 -p minotaur-i:/mnt/jumpstart_sol9/Sysidcfg/stink stink sun4u Max pointed me to the Sun "Blueprints" Jumpstart book, which makes the excellent suggestion of a Profiles/ and a Sysidcfg/ directory. In this case, I have Profiles/stink.profile and Sysidcfg/stink/sysidcfg. This is highly organized and scalable. That book was highly useful in getting this set up, I highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks, Max. One additional thing. Everyone seemed to know about the add_install_client(1M) and sysidcfg(4) manpages except me. Oops. Those were fairly useful. I put my profile and sysidcfg online, should anyone need them. http://envy.posixnap.net/~alex/sunmanagers/stink.profile http://envy.posixnap.net/~alex/sunmanagers/sysidcfg http://envy.posixnap.net/~alex/sunmanagers/rules.ok Thanks, folks.
