SRDB ID: 22104 SYNOPSIS: Solaris 8 JumpStart prompts for IPv6 or Security Policy DETAIL DESCRIPTION: Using a Solaris 7 sysidcfg file for preconfiguring and automating a Solaris 8 JumpStart installation will cause the install to prompt for the following six windows: - The Solaris Installation Program About navigation.. - Identify This System - IPv6 Enable IPv6 ----------- [ ] Yes [X] No - Confirm the following information Enable IPv6: No - Configure Security Policy: Specify Yes if the system will use the Kerberos security mechanism. Specify No if this system will use standard UNIX security. Configure Kerberos Security --------------------------- [ ] Yes [X] No - Confirm the following information. If it is correct, press F2; Configure Kerberos Security: No SOLUTION SUMMARY: Solution To automate a Solaris 8 JumpStart installation, two keywords need to be appended to a Solaris 7 sysidcfg file. protocol_ipv6 and security_policy Example of sysidcfg: system_locale=en_US timezone=US/Eastern timeserver=timeserver_ip_address terminal=sun-cmd name_service=NONE root_password=cut & paste from /etc/shadow network_interface=hme0 {protocol_ipv6=no} security_policy=NONE Also, you must create separate paths to the sysidcfg files. Example: /jumpstart/sysidcfg.sol7/sysidcfg /jumpstart/sysidcfg.sol8/sysidcfg Example of /etc/bootparams entry for sysidcfg: sysid_config=server_name:/jumpstart/sysidcfg.sol8 NOTE: This is documented in the Solaris 8 "Advanced Installation Guide" on page 44. However, it is stated that the protocol_ipv6 keyword is optional if DHCP is not used.
