The
autoinst.xml and
autoinst_uefi.xml file is the
default name of the answer file that you use to automate an unattended
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation in BIOS and UEFI modes respectively.
A sample copy of the
autoinst.xml/
autoinst_uefi.xml file is provided as part of DTK download in the
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/configs directory. The
autoinst.xml/
autoinst_uefi.xml file
contains the headings and parameters that instruct the installation
utility to perform various configuration tasks. Before a full deployment
can be run, edit all appropriate headings and parameters, as necessary.
-
NOTE: After installing
SUSE Linux Enterprise, change the login password by editing the user
node of the root user in
autoinst.xml/
autoinst_uefi.xml. You can also encrypt the password file by changing
false to
true in
<encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted>
.
-
NOTE: See your operating
system documentation for instructions on modifying the options in
the
autoinst.xml/
autoinst_uefi.xml file to customize
the scripted installation of your operating system.
When you have completed all necessary modifications of the
autoinst.xml/
autoinst_uefi.xml file, save the completed
file in the
/opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory.
After you have successfully edited your deployment scripts, you
are ready to create the deployment media and run the deployment. For
instructions on creating the deployment media and running a full deployment,
see
Deployment
Using Dell Provided Embedded Linux

NOTE: During an unattended
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation, if the installer lists
out missing packages, delete the listed packages from
autoinst.xml/
autoinst_uefi.xml.
