NAME

 nodeprof.conf - permit the customization of Solaris installation

SYNOPSIS

 nodeprof.conf

DESCRIPTION

When installing a cluster with nhinstall, you can customize the Solaris installation using the nodeprof.conf file. When the nodeprof.conf file is present in your configuration directory, its contents supersede the default profile used by nhinstall.

The templates for the configuration files are contained in the /opt/SUNWcgha/config.standard directory with .template extensions. Copy the configuration files to a local directory on the installation server as follows:

# mkdir config-file-directory
# export NHOME=/opt/SUNWcgha/config.standard
# cd config-file-directory
# cp $NHOME/nodeprof.conf.template nodeprof.conf

Note – All the configuration files must be in the same local directory on the installation server.

For information on the format of the nodeprof.conf file see Preparing Custom JumpStart Installations (Tasks) in the Solaris Installation Guide. Do not define disks and partitions in the nodeprof.conf file because nhinstall automatically adds these configuration details to the file. This means that you must not define the boot_device, root_device, filesys or usedisk commands because the configuration information for the disks is defined in the cluster_definition.conf file.

The metacluster which is defined the first time you use the cluster command in the nodeprof.conf file is used as the metacluster for diskless nodes and is given as an argument to the smosservice command.

If you do not want to install the same Solaris distribution on diskless nodes as you have installed on master-eligible nodes, create a diskless_nodeprof.conf file. For more information, see the diskless_nodeprof(4) man page.

Note – You cannot use nhinstall to install software on dataless nodes.
