SSTK Option
ssstk_mount_options=string
ssstk_script=filename
ssstk_action=string
idebus=xx
Edit the sample elilo.conf file included in the SSTK software package to match your
deployment. Here is an annotated example of a working elilo.conf file:
• The prompt forces interactive mode and the timeout waits for 30 seconds.
prompttimeout=300
• The first (default) entry boots the server to Linux and opens a console (label=linux). To
change the default elilo boot configuration, insert at the top the option default=LABEL.
For example, default=nfs-sample.
image=linux
label=linux
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="rw ramdisk_size=524288 idebus=33"
• The following entry boots the main toolkit launch script by getting it from a local partition.
The script then read the hardware configuration and writes it to the repository.
image=linux
label=readhw-linux
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="rw randisk_size=524288 ssstk_init=/bootstrap
ssstk_mount=/dev/sda1
ssstk_scritp=scripts/main_toolkit_launch.sh
ssstk_action=readhwconfig"
• This entry gets the main script from a repository located on an NFS share.
image=linux
label=nfs
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="rw ramdisk_size=524288 ssstk_init=/bootstrap
ssstk_mount_type=nfs ssstk_mount=repositoryserver:/nfsshare
ssstk_script=scripts/main_toolkit_launch.sh"
• The following entry mounts the repository located on a USB storage device and executes
the main script with the directive to configure the hardware and install Linux.
image=linux
label=usb
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="rw ramdisk_size=524288
ssstk_init=/bootstrap ssstk_mount=/dev/sda1
ssstk_script=scripts/main_toolkit_launch.sh ssstk_action=linux"
Description
USB—/dev/devicename
Passes extra parameters to the mount command.
Specifies the name of main launch script.
Specifies the default response to the toolkit launch script prompt (readhwconfig,
bash, capture, deploy, or linux).
Reports the VESA/PCI bus speed in MHz to the IDE driver, where xx is between
20 and 66 inclusive. It is used when tuning chipset PIO modes. For a PCI bus, 25
is used for P75 system, 30 is used for P90, P120, P180 systems, and 33 is used for
P100, P133, P166 systems. If in doubt, use idebus=33 for PCI.
