Configuring Clients Using AutoYaST Profile

Clients can be configured to register with SMT server via AutoYaST profile. For general information about creating AutoYaST profiles and preparing automatic installation, refer to Kapitel 21, Automatisierte Installation. In this section, only SMT specific configuration is described.

To configure SMT specific data using AutoYaST, follow these steps:

  1. As root, start YaST and select Miscellaneous+Autoinstallation to start the graphical AutoYaST front-end.

    From a command line, you can start the graphical AutoYaST front-end with the yast2 autoyast command.

  2. Open an existing profile using File+Open, create a profile based on the current system's configuration using Tools+Create Reference Profile, or just work with an empty profile.

  3. Select Support+Novell Customer Center Configuration. An overview of the current configuration is shown.

  4. Click Edit.

  5. To register while installing automatically, select Run Product Registration. You can include information from your system with Hardware Profile and Optional Information.

  6. Set the URL of the SMT Server and, optionally, the location of the SMT Certificate. The possible values are the same as for the kernel parameters regurl and regcert (see Abschnitt 16.1, „Using Kernel Parameters to Access an SMT Server“). The only exception is, that the ask value for regcert does not work in AutoYaST, because it requires user interaction. If using it, the registration process will be skipped.

  7. Perform all other configuration needed for the systems to be deployed.

  8. Select File+Save As and enter a filename for the profile, such as autoinst.xml.
