Ldap Data For The Branch Server - Novell SLRS 8 Admin Manual

13 Automatic Branch Server Installation
The tools rely on the imageBuilder configuration file
/etc/opt/SLES/POS/AdminServer.conf
to list the SLRS and United Linux base media and service packs in the order
they will be searched for packages.

13.2 LDAP Data for the Branch Server

To enable the autoinstall system to configure the branch server completely,
detailed information about the hard disk and the network interfaces must be
present. All network interfaces must have information about the netmask of
the connected network and the loadable module (driver) that is necessary to
activate the network card. For the network interface that points to the branch
network only (specified in the scLocation
the branch server), the netmask can be derived from the location's entries.

Example :
posAdmin.pl --user cn=admin,o=suse,c=de --password secret \
--base cn=bs,cn=server,cn=Lab,ou=solutions,o=suse,c=de \
--add --scNetworkcard --scDevice eth2 --ipHostNumber 192.168.1.150 \
--ipNetmaskNumber 255.255.248.0 --scModul e100
The boot hard disk must have an scHarddisk entry, like a diskful cash register
type. The partitioning scheme is the same as with cash registers.
Partitions are specified as 'size type mount point', where size is specified in
megabytes, the type is either 'L' for Linux file systems or 'S' for swap space,
and the mount point specifies where in the file system hierarchy the partition
is mounted. The wild card 'x' must appear as a mount point for swap space
partitions, and may be used to compute the size of the file system automati-
cally: 'S' partitions will be created at twice the RAM size, 'L' partitions with
mount point '/boot' will get approximately 20 megabytes, and, optionally,
the very last partition entry in the list may specify an 'x' wild card for the
size parameter to use up the remaining space on the hard disk.
Partition entries are separated with a semicolon ';'. For a simple branch server,
the partition table 'x S x;x L /' is suggested, which creates swap space and
one large root file system.
Example:
posAdmin.pl --user cn=admin,o=suse,c=de --password secret \
--base cn=bs,cn=server,cn=Lab,ou=solutions,o=suse,c=de \
--add --scHarddisk --cn sda --scDevice /dev/sda \
--scHdSize 40960 --scPartitionsTable 'x S x;x L /'
