"Rules Keywords and Criteria Manifest Directives"
It seems that the table does not capture AI criteria
correctly,
in particular, AI currently supports:
arch - reflects output of `uname -m`, e.g. sun4u
cpu - reflects output of `uname -p`, e.g. sparc
platform - reflects output of `uname -i`, e.g. i86pc
Based on this, following AI criteria are equivalent
to jumpstart rules
keywords:
jumpstart AI criteria
.........................
arch cpu
karch arch
model platform
I have searched the source of the AI guide and I do not find any instance of
"cpu". Can you point me to some more information on this or a sample manifest
that shows it?
You are right it is not mentioned in examples. Perhaps we should add
the table to AI guide which lists all available criteria keywords along
with short description.
The snippet of criteria AI manifest with 'cpu' criterion might look like:
Sparc:
<ai_criteria name="cpu">
<value>Sparc</value>
</ai_criteria>
x86:
<ai_criteria name="cpu">
<value>i386</value>
</ai_criteria>
* Also, 'update' portion of 'boot_device' jumpstart
keyword is only
applicable for Sparc. For x86, 'preserve' has
always to be used, since
there is no way to change the boot device for x86.
Thus, the behavior
is the same for both jumpstart as well as AI.
When I search the AI guide, I do not find any instance of "preserve" except
with regard to VTOC slices. Can you explain further?
My apologies for the confusion, the 'preserve' keyword is related to
jumpstart,
not AI. Jumpstart allows to specify either 'update' or 'preserve' for
'boot_device'.
I meant to say that 'update' is only supported for Sparc, 'preserve' is
the only
choice for x86.
Which means that for x86, jumpstart and AI are on par, i.e. neither
jumpstart
nor AI can change boot device on x86.
