How To Create A Linux Scripted Install Job For A Localized Distribution

Article: 205

Applies to: Releases 3.80 through 3.83

To create a localized Linux scripted install job:

1. In the appropriate .\lib\osconfig\yyyy directory on the FTP server where yyyy is the operating system shortcut name, copy the kickstart or control answer file. For example, copy .\lib\osconfig\rhel52\default.cfg to .\lib\osconfig\rhel52\default-fr.cfg.
2. Edit the new answer file. Change the necessary fields to align with your locale and language.
As an example for Red Hat, change lang, langsupport, keyboard, timezone, and add the appropriate package.
As an example for SUSE, change language, keyboard/keymap, and timezone.
3. In the Deployment Console, copy and rename one of the appropriate Linux scripted install jobs. For example, Deploy ProLiant ML/DL/BL + Red Hat EL 5.2 for x86 (French) + PSP {LinuxPE}.
4. Edit the Run Script - Create Boot Environment task in the new job. Change the # replacetokens .\lib\osconfig\yyyy\default.cfg .\lib\osconfig\yyyy\%ID%.cfg line with replacing the default.cfg value to the answer file name created in step 1. For example, change the line to # replacetokens .\lib\osconfig\rhel52\default-fr.cfg .\lib\osconfig\rhel52\%ID%.cfg.
