Contents of the SIA State File
The SIA state le provides the scripting variables required for carrying out an unattended
session of SIA and performing the specied SIA tasks automatically without user intervention.
A copy of the state le with all of the possible parameters can be found at the root level on the
SIA CD and is accessible by command prompt during an SIA session.
To access the command prompt from SIA, do the following:
1. Boot SIA (locally or through the remote console).
2. At the rst screen, press Ctrl-Alt-F2.
A command prompt will be displayed.
3. At the command prompt enter the command:
# cd /root# ls
Look for the externalStateVariables.txt le.
The following table describes the state le variables for the automated tasks that may be
performed.
Note – Each variable with its value must be on a separate line in the state le without line
breaks. Due to width restrictions in the table below, some examples may show variables
breaking across multiple lines.
