124 Preparing the Script Files for Deployment Using Embedded Linux
External Dependencies
The DT_PLATFORM variable is set during deployment by tkenvset.sh using
platform discovery.
The suseinst.sh script uses the
unattended answer file in conjunction with the
grub utility and kernel image and initial ramdisk files to install the operating
system files. See "autoinst.xml (for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server)" for more
information about preparing the
unattended answer file.
autoinst.xml (for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server)
The autoinst.xml file is the default name of the answer file that you use to
automate an unattended SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation. A
sample copy of the autoinst.xml file is provided as part of the DTK download
in the /opt/dell/toolkit/template/configs directory. The autoinst.xml file
contains the headings and parameters that instruct the installation utility to
perform various configuration tasks. Before a full deployment can be run, you
must edit all appropriate headings and parameters, as necessary.
NOTE: See your operating system documentation for instructions on modifying the
options in the autoinst.xml file to customize the scripted installation of your
operating system.
When you have completed all necessary modifications of the autoinst.xml
file, save the completed file in the /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system>
directory.
After you have successfully edited your deployment scripts, you are ready to
create your deployment media and run your deployment. For instructions on
creating deployment media and running a full deployment, see "Running
Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Embedded Linux."
