Hello,
I am trying to convert our SLES10 ask-list to work with SLES11sp1.
However, the option to set the primary ethernet device has changed or
doesn't work.
Here is what worked in SLES10
<ask-list config:type="list">
<ask>
<path>networking,dns,hostname</path>
<question>Enter Hostname (server name)</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<default>enter your hostname here</default>
</ask>
<ask>
<path>networking,interfaces,interface,device</path>
<question>Enter the primary ethernet device:</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<default>eth-id-</default>
</ask>
<ask>
<path>networking,interfaces,interface,ipaddr</path>
<question>Enter the primary IP Address:</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<default>127.0.0.1</default>
</ask>
<ask>
<path>networking,interfaces,interface,netmask</path>
<question>Enter the Netmask Address:</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<default>255.255.255.0</default>
</ask>
<ask>
<path>networking,routing,routes,0,gateway</path>
<question>Enter the primary Gateway Address:</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<default>10.112.0.1</default>
</ask>
</ask-list>
And the device entry would be in the format of
"eth-id-00-50-56-95-01-0f" so that the rest of our ask-list sections
that set the IP and gateway would use that specific MAC address.
The reason this is important is that the servers we setup will have 4 -
6 network interfaces and 2 could be active during the install (not on
the same network).
The true works, but we can not
guarantee that the interface that the system finds during install will
be the one that we need set. Also, I would like to be able to "ask" for
the primary and back up network information during install.
I have tried using the <listentry> sections but can not find the right
combinations nor documentation.
Here is the <listentry> I have so far...
<listentry>
<default>172.16.163.223</default>
<path>networking,interfaces,0,ipaddr</path>
<question>Enter Server IP address:</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<title>IP Address</title>
</listentry>
<listentry>
<default>255.255.255.0</default>
<path>networking,interfaces,0,netmask</path>
<question>Enter subnet mask:</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<title>Enter Subnet Mask:</title>
</listentry>
<listentry>
<default>172.16.163.1</default>
<path>networking,routing,0,gateway</path>
<question>Enter default gateway address:</question>
<stage>initial</stage>
<title>IP Address</title>
</listentry>
I'm expecting it has something to do with the <path> section ---
<path>networking,interfaces,0,ipaddr</path> where the # would be the
specific interface, but that hasn't proven to be the case so far.
Okay, enough ramblings....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
