I'm posting here since the initial execution of the SLES 11 upgrade happe ns in a z/VM virtual machine prior to establishing a Linux session.
Apologies if this is inappropriate; I will post to the Linux 390 list if needed (I'm having major difficulties posting to ANY list, so I'm not even going to attempt cross/multiple postings <g>) So, on to the issue....... I saw in an earlier post(sometime last year) someone having a *similar* problem as I am : The user was supplying values for Portname and NameServer, but still gett ing prompts during the install. The response to the user was to supply a null value in the PARMFILE for t he two parameters in question, and to supply "0" (or "1" depending on the configuration of the card) for Portno= as this could possibly suppress the prompt for the DNS server. My issue is that I'm supplying a null value for portname as it is not defined on the card, and I am supplying an address for NameServer and sti ll receiving prompts. I'm reading through Section 4.4 The parmfile - Automating the System Configuration in the SLES 11 Deployment Guide, and not seeing anything ab out how to supply null values. This isn't a show-stopper, but I'm looking to completely automate this portion of the SLES 11 install. If it doesn't happen, c'est le vie..... Thanks! -Tom
