15883   Jumpstart client prompts user for Power Management info   14 Aug 1999

Description Top

When using JumpStart for automated Solaris 2.6 or 2.7 installations.
After the installation, and on the initial reboot of the client,
you are prompted to enable or disable the Power Management software
on sun4u platforms and any other systems that are compliant with Version 2 of
the EPA's Energy Star guidelines.

Here are two solutions to automate this process via a custom JumpStart
installation.

1) create a finish script which will
create a /autoshutdown or /noautoshutdown file on the client machine.

/autoshutdown file enables the power management and /noautoshutdown
will disable the power management software.

Your finish script must create a file in the /a directory which is
where / is mounted during the client installation.  

Example: 

 touch /a/noautoshutdown	# disable Power Management


2) Have your client profile delete the Power Management packages

 List out the Power Management packages :

# pkginfo | grep pm
system      SUNWpmowm      Power Management OW Utilities Man Pages
system      SUNWpmowr      Power Management OW Utilities, (Root)
system      SUNWpmowu      Power Management OW Utilities, (Usr)
system      SUNWpmr        Power Management config file and rc script
system      SUNWpmu        Power Management binaries
system      SUNWpmux       Power Management binaries (64-bit)

Edit the profile accordingly:

install_type    initial_install
system_type     standalone
partitioning    default
cluster         SUNWCXall
package SUNWpmowm delete
package SUNWpmowr delete
package SUNWpmowu delete
package SUNWpmr delete
package SUNWpmu delete
package SUNWpmux delete
