Hi Peeps,
Created a jumpstart server for an unattened install and it works, but got 2 bugs in the config which I would like to work out:
when you boot net install
It still asks you to select a language and locale, after you do this it kicks of an unattended install.
So my question is,
What is the syntax for the sysidcfg file to stop it asking these 2 questions and make the install 100% unattended.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
you question depends on the solaris version you try to install:
Solaris 8:
bash-3.00# more sysidcfg.sol8_alt
system_locale=en_US
timezone=MET
terminal=vt100
timeserver=localhost
network_interface=PRIMARY
{hostname=CLIENT_NAME
ip_address=IP_ADDRESSE_SYSID
netmask=NETMASK
protocol_ipv6=no}
name_service=NONE
root_password=iB97EvEXpzyVM
security_policy=NONE
Solaris 10:
bash-3.00# more sysidcfg
system_locale=en_US
timezone=MET
terminal=vt100
timeserver=localhost
network_interface=PRIMARY
{hostname=CLIENT_NAME
ip_address=IP_ADDRESSE_SYSID
netmask=NETMASK
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=none}
name_service=NONE
root_password=iB97EvEXpzyVM
security_policy=NONE
If you install a Solaris 10 System be sure to insert the /a/etc/.NFS4inst_state.domain file inside the Finish script.

Hi Joerg,
Thanks for reply, installing Solaris 9/05, is that the sysidcfg as 8?
Thought I'd included this info in the post, sorry about that
Thanks

Hi,
personally I made a step from 8 direct to solaris 10 so I am not 100% sure.
But I think Solaris 10 and 9 have the same configuration files.
Please post it after your tests, so other can skip these tests.
Best regards
