DSfW AutoYaST Installation feature enables you to install and configure DSfW without any manual intervention. You can use this feature to install DSfW for a new forest domain, new domain in an existing forest, and new domain controller in an existing domain.
To use DSfW AutoYaST feature, you must first download the template file for Name-Mapped or Non-Name-Mapped installation scenarios and then modify the values of certain tags to install a Forest Root Domain (FRD), Additional Domain Controller (ADC), or Child domain controller (CDC).
The following sections will take you through the procedure to install DSfW using AutoYaST.
Modified template file that must be copied to a web server.
A boot scenario set up. You can boot from media or from an installation source.
One or more target computers to install the server software to and the following information about each:
Hostip
Netmask
Gateway
Install path of SUSE iso
Path of the modified template file located on the web server
To determine the NCP server object location, follow the guideline given below:
The NCP server object of the DSfW domain controller that is being configured must be placed under the container ou=OESSystemObjects. This container is present or created below the eDirectory partition that is mapped to the DSfW domain.
For example, assume that the partition ou=example,o=organization is being mapped to a DSfW domain. The NCP server object container will be ou=OESSystemObject,ou=example,o=organization.
Download the template file and modify parameters in the template file based on your installation scenario. For more information, see Section 7.2.3, Modifying Template Files.
Copy the modified template file to a web server.
Start the target server and specify the following options during boot up:
Hostip- IP address of the target server.
Netmask-Subnet mask of the network.
Gateway- Gateway IP address of the network
Install- SLES iso path
Autoyast- Complete path (including filename) of the modified template file in the web server.
Modifications to the template file depends on the installation scenarios. Following sections take you through the various installation scenarios and the modifications required.
Follow the sections below to modify the template files based on your installation scenario.
