Comparing sysidcfg File Keywords to System Configuration Profile Directives

The following table compares sysidcfg file keywords with example AI system configuration profile specifications. Different SMF property value names might apply in different cases. See the examples in Example sysidcfg Conversion Using js2ai and in Example System Configuration Profiles in Installing Oracle Solaris 11.1 Systems.

Table 3-1 Comparing sysidcfg File Keywords and Configuration Profile Directives

sysidcfg File Keyword
System Configuration Profile Directives
keyboard

The js2ai tool does not perform any translation. Make sure the keyboard specified in the sysidcfg file is supported in Oracle Solaris 11.

  • Service name: system/keymap
  • Property group name: keymap

  • Property value name: layout

name_service

AI supports DNS, NIS, and LDAP. The js2ai tool supports values NONE, DNS, NIS, and LDAP. NIS+ name services are translated as NIS. If a name service is configured, the network must be configured as DefaultFixed.

  • Service name: system/name-service/switch
  • Property group name: config

  • Property value name: netgroup

network_interface

AI supports configuring only a single interface as part of system installation. Because of this limitation, the js2ai tool processes only the interface labeled PRIMARY or the first interface encountered in the sysidcfg file. The js2ai tool sets the network to DefaultFixed if a name_service is specified. A properly configured DefaultFixed network needs to provide the host name, IP address, netmask, and gateway. Automated network configuration is only supported if no name service is specified.

  • Service name: network/install
  • Property group name: install_ipv4_interface

  • Property value name: static_address

  • Property group name: install_ipv6_interface

nfs4_domain
Unsupported.
root_password

The js2ai tool does not perform any translation.

  • Service name: system/config-user
  • Property group name: root_account

  • Property value name: password

security_policy
The js2ai tool supports the value NONE.
service_profile
The js2ai tool supports the value limited_net.
system_locale

The js2ai tool does not perform any translation. Make sure the locale specified in the sysidcfg file is supported in Oracle Solaris 11.

  • Service name: system/environment
  • Property group name: environment

  • Property value name: LC_ALL

terminal

The js2ai tool does not perform any translation. Make sure the terminal type specified in the sysidcfg file is supported in Oracle Solaris 11.

  • Service name: system/console-login
  • Property group name: ttymon

  • Property value name: terminal_type

timeserver
The js2ai tool supports the value localhost.
