7 Generate a new copy of solaris.zlib with your changes included and replace the old
solaris.zlib.
root@solaris:/mnt/zlib#
cp /root/ai/sc_profile.xml /root/ai/zlib/share/auto_install/sc_profiles/enable_sci.xml
root@solaris:/mnt/zlib# cd /root/ai/zlib
root@solaris:~/ai/zlib# mkisofs -o /root/ai/mysolaris.zlib -quiet -N -l -R -U -allow-multidot -no-
iso-translate -cache-inodes -d -D -V "compress" /root/ai/zlib/
root@solaris:~/ai/zlib# lofiadm -C lzma /root/ai/mysolaris.zlib
root@solaris:~/ai/zlib# cp /root/ai/mysolaris.zlib /root/ai/image/solaris.zlib
8 Create a copy of the sample manifest file included in your guest agent package and open it for
editing.
root@solaris:/mnt/ai# cp /root/LinuxGuestAgentPkgs/solaris11-
amd64/sample_ai_manifest.xml /root/ai/default.xml
root@solaris:/mnt/ai# vi /root/ai/default.xml
9 Edit the publisher origin name in the manifest file to point to your Solaris 11.3 virtual machine, which
you configured to run as your local IPS repository.
<publisher name="vmware">
<origin name="http://10.118.192.254:9000/"/>
</publisher>
10 Replace the AI boot image manifest file with your own.
root@solaris:/mnt/ai# cp /root/ai/default.xml /root/ai/image/auto_install/default.xml
11 Generate a new AI boot image called myai.iso with all of your changes.
root@solaris:~/ai/zlib# cd /root/ai/image
root@solaris:~/ai/image# /usr/bin/mkisofs -d -D -J -l -r -U -relaxed-filenames -b boot/grub/i386-
pc/myboot.img -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -c .catalog -V "myai.iso" -
o /root/ai/myai.iso "/root/ai/image/"
12 Save the resulting myai.iso file to the location required by your hypervisor.
What to do next
Gather the following information so that your IaaS architects can include it in their blueprints:
1 The name and location of the ISO image.
2 For vCenter Server integrations, the vCenter Server guest operating system version with which
vCenter Server is to create the machine.
Note You can create a property group with the property set BootIsoProperties to include the required
ISO information. This makes it easier to include this information correctly on blueprints.
