copying files during installation

[Asya]

Hi,

I am trying to find out if there is a way to copy various config files (customized) to the new servers during the installation? In Solaris Jumpstart there is a way to have a tar file. Is there something similar in Ignite? I've looked through documentation and don't see anything... I am not talking about gold image..

Thank you!

You can do this with a post-installation script in ignite

i know..and i have one. But how do i add an actual file to it? Where do i store it? on ignite server?

I've not tried it, but can't you use:

-x include=

option of make_tape_recovery to include the file you want in the archive, and then use your post-install to process it?

I would use an ignite post_config script.

If you want to expand a tar file, you will have to set that up yourself. I would put the tar file in the same place as your script (/var/opt/ignite/scripts) and reference it from your script via $PWD/.
