Simple script to modify kickstart file
Hi,
I would like to create a script so that it will ask me the following:
1) What is the ip address?
2) What is the gateway address?
3) What is the hostname?
and then put the answer to the below kickstart file (kickstart.cfg)
Here I included the kickstart.cfg:
# Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda.
install
nfs --server=10.10.10.200 --dir=/vault/redhat/rhel5/5.1/x86_64
key --skip
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
xconfig --startxonboot
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 10.10.10.20 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 10.10.10.1 --nameserver
10.10.10.100--hostname abc
network --device eth1 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname abc
rootpw --iscrypted $1$r3I9vk75$JWCGlXqgYd0/55lfg09NJ.
firewall --disabled
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
selinux --disabled
timezone --utc America/New_York
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append="rhgb quiet"
# The following is the partition information you requested
# Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed
# here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is
# not guaranteed to work
clearpart --all --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=sda
part pv.6 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.6
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=25600
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=8192
logvol /abc --fstype ext2 --name=LogVol03 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=25216
logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol02 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=10240

DESCRIPTION
xen-create-nfs is a simple script which allows you to easily create
a single configuration file for a Xen guest which will mount its remote
filesystem over an NFS root.
It doesn't create any images to use for local storage, and it doesn't
support more than the minimal number of options to completement the
existing xen-create-image script, however it is hopefully useful.
