Dear all, Question 1: I am trying to construct a generic autoinst.xml file for several clients. The template I am using is the one generated from one server, an HP Blade, found in /root/autoinst.xml. I intend to use this from within a file called this, (the MAC address is made up) # cat /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/00-00-00-00-00-00-01 default SLES11 # install SLES11 - Dummy entry for generic profile label SLES11 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 install=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/sles11-dvd1-i586 hostip=10.205.8.123/24 autoyast=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/generica-sles11_i586-autoinst.xml netdevice=eth0 textmode=1 insmod=bnx2 The autogenerated file contains host specific entries like, <host> <hosts config:type="list"> <hosts_entry> <host_address>10.254.66.90</host_address> <names config:type="list"> <name>newHPserver newHPserver</name> </names> </hosts_entry> <hosts_entry> <host_address>127.0.0.1</host_address> <names config:type="list"> <name>localhost</name> </names> </hosts_entry> <hosts_entry> <host_address>127.0.0.2</host_address> <names config:type="list"> <name>newHPserver.it.lan newHPserver</name> </names> I would like to have this xml inherit the hostname, IP address from the client that called it. Question 2: In most cases these servers will run Oracle. Therefore I would like to some how add values for shmmni shmmax and so on for Oracle. I expect to have a separate .xml file somewhere that would set these values. What is the way to so this? I thought that I could use some xml like this but I don;'t know if this is the preferred way in the SUSE world? <script>echo "kernel.shmall = 2097152" >>/etc/sysctl.conf</script> How would I instruct autoyast to call this file?
