DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mkautoinstallscript command.
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 during install.
This is useful for times when your console device is slow (e.g.
serial console), and is the bottleneck of your installation.
--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 defaults 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 updated.
--config-file FILE
Use FILE to get autoinstallscript configuration information.
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. Also see the mkdhcpstatic command.
· dynamic_dhcp -- A DHCP server will assign IP addresses
dynamically to clients installed with this image. In dynamic
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 mechanism
for a single machine.
--post-install ACTION
ACTION can be:
· beep -- Clients will beep incessantly after successful
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.
