DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents briefly the
- si_mkautoinstallscript command.
- si_mkautoinstallscript creates an autoinstallscript for a
- SystemImager image.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
--help Show summary of options
- --version
- Display version and copyright information.
- --quiet
- Don't print any output, just provide an appropriate
- exit code.
- --no-listing
- Don't show each filename as it is copied over dur
- ing install. This is useful for times when your console device
- is slow (e.g. serial console), and is the bottleneck of your in
- stallation.
- --image IMAGENAME
- Where IMAGENAME is the name of the image for which
- you want to create a new autoinstall script.
- --script SCRIPTNAME
- Where SCRIPTNAME is the base name to use for the
- resultant autoinstall script. If not specified, SCRIPTNAME de
- faults to IMAGENAME. This is most often used when you want to
- have multiple autoinstallscripts for a single image; i.e. when
- you have clients with different partitioning and/or filesystem
- schemes that use the same image (same file set).
- --force [YES|NO]
- Update the $image.master script? Defaults to NO if
- -quiet. If not specified you will be prompted to confirm an up
- dated.
- --config-file FILE
- Use FILE to get autoinstallscript configuration in
- formation. Defaults to ./etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.conf
- in the image directory.
- The following options affect the autoinstall client after
- autoinstalling.
- --ip-assignment METHOD
- Where METHOD can be:
- · static_dhcp -- A DHCP server will assign the same
- static address each time to clients installed with this image.
- The DHCP server in this case also assigns the corresponding host
- name. It is possible therefore, when using static dhcp, to
- change a machine's hostname and IP address by simply changing one
- value in the dhcpd.conf file. Some may find this desirable. Al
- so see the si_mkdhcpstatic command.
- · dynamic_dhcp -- A DHCP server will assign IP ad
- dresses dynamically to clients installed with this image. In dy
- namic dhcp, the IP address of a machine may change, but you want
- it to retain the same host name. Therefore the hostname is set
- by the machine itself. They may be assigned a different address
- each time.
- · static -- The IP address the client uses during
- autoinstall will be permanently assigned to that client.
- · replicant -- Don't mess with the network settings
- in this image. I'm using it as a backup and quick restore mecha
- nism for a single machine.
- --post-install ACTION
- ACTION can be:
- · beep -- Clients will beep incessantly after suc
- cessful completion of an autoinstall.
- · reboot -- Clients will reboot themselves after
- successful completion of an autoinstall.
- · shutdown -- Clients will halt themselves after
- successful completion of an autoinstall.
