Compaq TRU64 Washer/Dryer User Manual


 
User-supplied files are a way to extend and customize the installation
process, and can contain scripts, executables, or programs. The Full
Installation and Update Installation processes execute user-supplied
files at predetermined points during the installation.
User-installed files may include some or all of the following files:
preinstall
update_preinstall
postload
update_postload
postreboot
Any files called by the user-supplied files.
If a RIS client system is registered for a profile set, the Full Installation
process searches the client system’s registered profile set and takes action if
it finds any of these user-supplied files.
You can organize CDFs and user-supplied files into profile sets to support
different functions or types of systems within your processing environment.
For example:
If you install and configure engineering systems differently from
accounting department systems, you might create two profile set
directories: engineering and accounting. Those profile sets would
contain the CDFs and files you create to suit the configuration needs of
both departments.
If you maintain separate CDFs and files for servers and workstations, you
might create profile set directories named server and workstation.
See the Installation Guide Advanced Topics for information about
Installation Cloning, Configuration Cloning, creating and modifying CDFs,
and creating user-supplied files.
7.2 Creating Profile Sets
The /var/adm/ris/clients/sets directory can contain many profile
sets. Each of the profile set directories may contain CDFs and user-supplied
files, as well as any files called by them.
Use the following procedure to create profile sets:
1. Log in to the RIS server as root or use the su command to gain
superuser privileges.
2. Go to the profile sets directory:
# cd /var/adm/ris/clients/sets
