Given: SLES11 SP1
Problem:
I have a control file which looks like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns" xmlns:xinclude="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
http://10.11.8.3/export/suse/etc/tce_script.xml"/>
http://10.11.8.3/export/suse/sles11sp1/autoinstall/classes/tce_post.xml"/>
....
Autoyast does not complain during installation but its looks like that these xml file are never been executed.
The xincludes files containing simple post-script sections.
Thus nothing is found in "grep tce /var/log/Yast2/* " and " find /var/adm/autoinstall/ " does not show any script been executed.
The current state is very annoying since i find no documentation about how the merge and how the xml file processing really works and what are the requirements to make "xincludes" working.
My current understanding of the autoyast process for automated network installations is
Autoyast ( Autoinstallation )
1) autoyast reads ./rules/rules.xml from the installation server and mergers according to the rules. The result will be written to /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml of the installation environment.
2) The /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml file will be parsed by autoyast.
2.1) The xinclude(s) from /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml will be loaded
3) The pre-scripts will be executed
3.1) In case a /tmp/profile/modified.xml exist this file will be parsed again.
Hint:
a) To modifiy the /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml at this stage copy it to /tmp/profile/modified.xml and make any modification on this file vi pre-script.
b) Use in a pre-script as the last command "cp /tmp/profile/*.xml /mnt/var/tmp/" to save the used xml files.
This way you can compare after the installation the autoinst.xml with your generated modified.xml
4.0) If the /tmp/profile/modified.xml exist it will be used otherwise the /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml
Its not clear how the xincludes file will be executed or if i can have within a section of a control file a xinclude or not.
Example:
...
<nis>
<!-- Is the next line valid ? -->
http://10.11.8.3/export/suse/etc/tce_nis.xml"/>
...
</nis>
<dns>
http://10.11.8.3/export/suse/etc/tce_dns.xml"/>
</dns>
Information and/or links are appreciated.
