SuSE Version: 10.1
Install Method: PXEBOOT/DHCP
Hello Everyone!
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how-to convert from
dhcp-boot to static IP during the autoyast install?
Questions:
1) Should converting from dhcp-boot to static IP take place during
pre-scripts, or post-scripts?
2) When the install is initiated with dhcp, what file holds the
network/dhcp information during the install process?
3) Would it be practical to use commands such as ifconfig and netstat to
get the network information, and write to the
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-$MAC and
/etc/sysconfig/network/routes files?
Observations:
I have noticed if a client is using dhcp, the package "NetworkManager"
is installed, and will manage the network settings for eth0. However, if
a client is using dhcp/NetworkManager, the NTP & NIS services will fail
to start during bootup. If I manually change the network settings to
static, NTP & NIS will start during bootup.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
My best to you
