Another important part of Custom JumpStart is the install rules and profiles files.
The rules selects which clients qualify and which profiles are used in each case.
All of the following is done in the /jumpstart directory:
# cd /jumpstart
The syntax of the rules files is reasonably flexible to get the job done.
As an example, let's show one that distinguishes between X86 and SPARC clients.
# cat rules
# # keyword & value begin profile finish
# ----------------------------------- ----- ------------- ------
karch i86pc && memsize 1024-8192 - profile_x86_s -
karch i86pc && memsize 8193-65536 - profile_x86_m -
karch i86pc && memsize 65537-524288 - profile_x86_l -
karch sparc - profile_sparc -
Edit each referenced profile accordingly.
Assume 192.168.0.12 as the IP address of the X86 Custom JumpStart server.
The difference between X86 and SPARC profiles are patch numbers and server IP.
I also assume at least an available pair of disks equal or close in size.
Instead of letting the installer compute the swap size (auto) I've chosen to have 4g.
# cat profile_x86_s
#
# keyword value

Finally, verify if everything is OK, generating the rules.ok file.
# cp -p /install/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/check .
# ./check
