DESCRIPTION
make_inst_serveris an utility of the
ALICEinstallation system.It is used to create an installation server that(Auto)YaST and ALICE2 (hereafter called AutoInstall) can make use of as sourcefor the products that are to be installed on the clients, where the AutoInstallis being used.
make_inst_servercreates the necessary directory structure the AutoInstall programsneed, and fills this directory structure with the product files specified atcall time, so that the server where this script was run, can be used as aninstallation server for the AutoInstall programs.
One should be aware of that in order to create an installation server the pathinto where the product files are installed, must be able to hold the data copied,which can be a considerable amount of mega, if not giga bytes!
The sources from where the products files are copied are usually from either CDsor DVDs, but it can also be from other directories, where the product files arealready available.
This is usually the case, when the product files consist of customized packages.
OPTIONS
-b [<no>,]<prod>- -B [<no>,]<prod>
- Use the product CD (option -b) or DVD (option -B) named <prod>, optionallyusing CD/DVD number <no>, as boot medium.Default is to use the first CD/DVD from the first defined product.
- -c <prod>[,prio1,prio2[,no]]
- Not yet implemented.
- -C [<no>,]<prod>
- Add product CD (option -c) or DVD (option -C) named <prod>, optionallyconsisting of a total number of <no> CD/DVDs, to the installation rootdirectory (see option -i).Option -c/-C can be used multiple times in an accumulated manner todefine multiple products to be installed.The default number of CD/DVDs to copy is 1.There is no default product name to be installed.
prio1: The priority (position) in the order file
prio2: The priority (position) in the instorder file
If two products have the same priority, the first one wins. - -h
- Print a short help menu.
- -i <path>
- Change the default installation directory path name to <path>.The default installation directory is "InstallRoot" in the current directory.If the directory does not exists, it will be created.
- -p [<path>,]<prod>
- Add product <prod> found in the product source directory (see option -s),or optionally from the passed <path>, to the installation root directory(see option -i).Option can be used multiple times in an accumulated manner to definemultiple products to be installed.The <path> directory must exists, and must already comply with theAutoInstall defined directory structure for products, i.e. having thestructure "<prod>/{CD,DVD}[0-9]*".
- -s <path>
- Change the global directory path of where to find a product hierarchy of"<prod>/{CD,DVD}[0-9]*" to <path>.The default directory path is "/suse/dists/SLES8".
- -v <level>
- Set the verbosity to <level>.Default level is 1, i.e. only very limited verbosity -- Use value 0 for no verbosity.
