DESCRIPTION

32       sysidtool is a suite of programs that configure a new  system,  or  one
33       that  has  been  unconfigured with sys-unconfig(1M). The sysidtool pro‐
34       grams run automatically at system installation,  or  during  the  first
35       boot after a machine has been successfully unconfigured.
36
37
38       These programs have no effect except at such times, and should never be
39       run manually.
40
41
42       The sysidtool programs  set  up  the  appropriate  information  in  the
43       machine's configuration files, in the kernel, and on the machine's net‐
44       work interface. The following list shows the available commands and the
45       information for which each of the commands lists.
46
47       sysidnet: network configuration
48
49           Machine's  default  locale.  Machine's console type. Machine's host
50           name. Machine's IP address.
51
52
53       sysidns: name service configuration
54
55           Name service choice: NIS, NIS+, DNS, LDAP, or  none.  Machine's  IP
56           subnet  mask (if no NIS/NIS+ server can automatically be located on
57           the machine's sub-network. Domain name  for  chosen  name  service.
58           Hostname  and  IP  address  of name server(s). DNS search list (DNS
59           name service only)
60
61
62       sysidsys: miscellaneous system configuration
63
64           Machine's IP subnet mask (if an NIS/NIS+ server  was  automatically
65           located  on  the  machine's sub-network). Machine's time zone. Date
66           and time.
67
68
69       sysidroot: control superuser information
70
71           Machine's root password.
72
73
74       sysidpm: power management configuration
75
76           Auto-shutdown confirmation if the system is  Energystar-V2  compli‐
77           ant, that is, a new system model shipped after October 1, 1995.
78
79
80       sysidnfs4: NFSv4 domain configuration
81
82           Domain name to be used by NFSv4 client(s) and server(s) to transmit
83           user  and   group   id's   as   strings   of   the   general   form
84           "[user|group]@domain".
85
86
87       sysidkbd: keyboard layout configuration
88
89           The  corresponding  keytable is loaded into the kernel according to
90           the configured keyboard layout.
91
92
93       sysidconfig: host- or platform-specific configuration
94
95           This command controls specification and execution of custom config‐
96           uration applications that can be specified for a particular host or
97           a particular platform. See sysidconfig(1M).
98
99
100
101       The sysidtool programs attempt to obtain system configuration  informa‐
102       tion from various name service databases, for example, NIS, or from the
103       sysidcfg(4) file, and you are prompted to provide the information if it
104       cannot  be  found. However, you can avoid one or more of the prompts by
105       preconfiguring the appropriate configuration information  in  the  name
106       service databases or in the sysidcfg(4) file.
107
108
109       To preconfigure the information in the name service databases, you must
110       use the name service commands or the  Solstice  AdminSuite  tools.  See
111       for  more  details  about  how to preconfigure the system configuration
112       information.
113
114
115       The machine's configuration information is set up in its /etc and  /var
116       files.
117
118
119       If  a system has more than one network interface, you can use sysidtool
120       to configure all interfaces on the system.
121
122
123       You cannot use the name service databases or the  sysidcfg(4)  file  to
124       suppress  the  Power  Management configuration prompt. However, you can
125       suppress it by creating either  the  /autoshutdown  or  /noautoshutdown
126       file before installation reboot. Accordingly, the auto-shutdown feature
127       is silently configured. The /autoshutdown or /noautoshutdown files  are
128       removed by sysidpm before it exits.
129
130
131       sysidnfs4  installs  the /etc/.NFS4inst_state.domain file upon the suc‐
132       cessful configuration of the NFSv4 domain name. If this file is present
133       during  system  reboot, the sysidnfs4 program is run but no prompts are
134       displayed. The suppression of prompts is intended for system  upgrades,
135       in  which a system configuration typically stays unchanged. The stabil‐
136       ity level of this interface is obsolete
137
138
139       sysidkbd prompts for the keyboards with zero-bCountryCode and then sets
140       the  keyboard layout string in the /etc/default/kbd file. If the sysid‐
141       kbd gets the valid keyboard layout string, the string will be set  into
142       the entry "LAYOUT=" in the file.

NOTES

194       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris Operating
195       system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are  available  in
196       the    current   Solaris   release.   For   more   information,   visit
