This is mostly for myself that I can remember how to use the least documented feature of Solaris and openindiana - the `sysidcfg` files.
|
|
|
|
These files help deploying new zones faster, as you don't have to configure them by hand afterwards. But what is the syntax and how can you use them?
|
|
|
|
Here is an example file
|
|
|
|
name_service=NONE
|
|
# name_service=DNS {domain_name=<your_domain> name_server=<your_dns_server>}
|
|
nfs4_domain=dynamic
|
|
timezone=Europe/Stockholm
|
|
terminal=xterms
|
|
root_password=<crypted_password>
|
|
security_policy=NONE
|
|
network_interface=<interface1> {primary hostname=<hostname> default_route=<route_ip> ip_address=<if_ip> netmask=<if_netmask> protocol_ipv6=yes}
|
|
network_interface=<interface2> {hostname=<hostname> ip_address=<if_ip> netmask=<if_netmask> protocol_ipv6=yes default_route=NONE}`
|
|
|
|
The most important thing first: you don't need system_locale after openindiana 151 anymore. If you have it in your config, even with C, delete it or else the setup will not work!
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a dns record for your zone yet, set the @name_service@ to NONE. If you have already a record set, use the commented syntax.
|
|
|
|
The next interesting setting is root_password. Here you don't input the password in cleartext but crypted. I wrote a little script to generate this string. You can find the code [here](https://github.com/Gibheer/zero-pwcrypter).
|

|
The network_interface part is pretty easy, if you take these lines as a dummy. If you have only one interface, you can name the first interface PRIMARY. That way, you have a bit less to write.

That's all so far. I will update this post, when I have figured out, what to fill into nfs4_domain and security_policy.
